Chapter 247
After waking up in the hospital, Antonio looked around frantically to find Grace. He refused to believe that Grace would leave without a word.
Grace wouldn’t be indifferent if she saw him faint.
However, he only saw a crying Corine. “Antonio, you scared me.
“Grace watched you faint and did nothing. She doesn’t care about you at all.” A buzzing noise filled Antonio’s mind.
Grace was gone..
She was not returning.
Corine couldn’t hide the joy dancing in her eyes and Antonio noticed it. He raised his hand and slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground. Then, he started punching her without mercy.
“Bitch, it’s all your fault. Grace left because of you!
“Why did you have to send her those texts? Didn’t you know that she was pregnant? Have you forgotten my warnings?!“”
To Antonio, Corine was an amusement, a kind of entertainment that gave him an adrenaline rush.
There were countless women like Corine. With a wave of Antonio’s hand, beautiful women would throw themselves at him.
But Grace was different.
She was Antonio’s wife. They were childhood sweethearts. They grew up
together. She was the love of his life and nobody could replace her.
Corine hugged her stomach. Disbelief was written all over her face,
“But I’m pregnant too. I can do things she can do for you and things she can’t do for you. Why am I no match for her in your heart?”
Fuming, Antonio choked Corine. “Who do you think you are? You can’t even compete with her.”
If the doctor hadn’t heard the noise and rushed over, Antonio might have beaten Corine to death in the ward.
The staff dragged Corine away, leaving a trail of blood.
Antonio stared at the blood stain, tears welling up in his eyes. “Grace must have been in great pain when she aborted our baby.”
The doctor and nurse in the ward looked at each other. Neither dared to speak up. Antonio decided staying in the hospital was a waste of time.
He used all his connections and spent hundreds of millions looking for Grace.
No matter how hard he tried, the search was utile.
Grace disappeared from the surface of the earth overnight.
If their house wasn’t filled with traces of Grace living there, Antonio might start to doubt whether their past was a dream or not.
He locked himself in his room and refused to go out.
He wiped the things Grace left over and over again.
Antonio would get hammered and fantasize that Grace was still by his

side. The maids felt for him and tried to comfort him.
“Mrs. Kaufman will get over it. Once she sees how much you love her,
she’ll come back.” “Look. She left all her things behind. It means that she doesn’t really want to leave.”
Crying, Antonio shook his head. “No, she won’t be back.”
After living together for so long, they knew each other all too well. Antonio looked up at his surroundings.
There were dazzling pieces of jewelry and countless designer clothes. He knew that to Grace, these were things that she could live without.
But Grace didn’t even take their wedding ring. It wasn’t the only meaningful item she left behind. There was the photo album that contained their pictures, from the first one when they eight to their wedding pictures.
Were
They agreed to take a new set of wedding photos every year.
But since Corine came into his life, he had become too busy for Grace. Again and again, he broke his promises to her. There was also the love letter he wrote when he was 18.
At that time, Grace made fun of it as she thought it was cliche.
He smiled, “Grace, you don’t know how good you are. In my life, I’ll only love you, no matter how childish or cliche you find this is. I promise. I’ll keep on writing love letters to you till we die.”
How long had it been since his last letter? Antonio couldn’t remember.
He covered his head in pain.
If Grace had taken any of these, it meant she still had feelings for their
past. So, he’d have a chance to get her back.
But Grace left them all behind.
When she married Antonio, her heart was full of love. When she left, she was all by herself. There was no love or hate.
Nothing was left and nothing was taken away.
She disappeared into this crowded world, not letting Antonio find her again.
