Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 185

Casper should have been by her side. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Casper couldn’t make out the time for her.

The time that Casper could spare for her was dwindling as the days went by.

One day, Giselle was out shopping for baby products. It was then that those men returned. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Pinning the bodyguard down, one of the men appeared from behind and punched Giselle in the stomach. As a result, she suffered a miscarriage.

Although it was just a dream, Casper could feel his heart throbbing in pain at that time.

The crimson blood that was flowing out of Giselle formed a pool on the ground. The scene was so surreal that he would shudder at the very thought of it.

When he recalled the agonizing look on Giselle’s face especially, it shattered his heart into a million pieces.

How he wished he was the one who had to go through the sufferings.

After the miscarriage, Giselle’s condition took a turn for the worse.

The pain of losing her child was too much to bear. Not to mention, she had to face the disappointed look of their families and the ridicule from others.

All these negative emotions were slowly pushing her into the depths of despair.

Now that Casper is busy with his work, who else will be willing to help me?

No one. Not a single soul.

Seeing less and less of Casper back then, Giselle felt estranged from him.

Eventually, she ended up with severe depression.

Giselle’s condition had only gotten worse from there. She became reticent and was reluctant to talk to anyone. From time to time, she would stare vacuously outside the window like she was pensive about something.

Because of this, the gossips about her were getting more and more.

She had to endure copious amounts of denigrating comments every day.

Her husband Casper, who was busy dealing in a massive sized deal overseas, was unaware of it.

Ever since Giselle lost her child, his affection toward her just wasn’t the same anymore.

He chose to turn a blind eye just when Giselle needed him the most.

Devoid of all hope, Giselle chose to end her own life.

In Casper’s dream, he saw the relieved smile that Giselle had before her demise.

Filled with remorse, he couldn’t bear to watch the smile on her face any longer.

He couldn’t even look straight into her eyes anymore.

Every time he saw her face, it would remind him of that dreadful dream—the dream where he was the one responsible for Giselle’s death.

It’s not real; it’s just a dream! But I’m scared… Scared of losing Giselle like how I did in the dream.

Even though he was adamant that he would never treat Giselle that way, he was still terrified.

He was afraid that Giselle wouldn’t be able to face her true self and be happy after being accepted into the Simpson family.

Although Casper assured Giselle that he would do his best to make her happy in his dream, Giselle still seemed dejected.

With the dream fresh in his mind, he stopped in his tracks and started walking in the opposite direction.

Heading toward the main entrance of the cafeteria, Giselle inadvertently caught a glimpse of Casper.

With her head down, she glanced at him with her peripheral vision.

Giselle pretended to continue eating her porridge when she saw Casper approaching her.

When Casper abruptly turned around to leave, she lifted her head and glared at his back.

I thought I was ready to cut ties with him once and for all. So why do I feel my heart tingling right now?

Enough of this! It’s not like I could chase after him now. Even if I did, what can I possibly do or say to him?

It’s too late for us to mend our relationship now.

Giselle was clenching hard onto the spoon in her hand.

It was Casper’s idea to end this relationship anyway.

Little did she know, Casper was leaving her to avoid hurting her as he did in his dream.

Standing by her lonesome, Giselle seemed so frail and pitiful.

Sadly, Casper wasn’t there to comfort and protect her anymore.

After seeing Giselle in the cafeteria, Casper went to the grass field to run a few laps. He did so to relieve the stress on his mind.

Lucky for him, there wasn’t anyone on the grass field to bother him.

Casper ran continuously until the sun came out.

Having good stamina, Casper had no trouble running all those laps.

After that, he trotted back to the dorm to take some textbooks before going to the library.

Such a tranquil morning. Forget about the silly nightmare; today is a good day!

Casper felt at ease and carefree.

As the clock struck nine in the morning, Casper’s phone rang.

Casper took out his phone and saw the name “Amelia” displaying on the screen.

He knew that it wasn’t Amelia herself who was calling.

It seems like the two hundred thousand that I gave her can only buy me two days’ worth of peace, huh?

I guess it’s time for them to take the bait.
