Ch. 330: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 330

Chapter 330

The moment Norah collapsed into Kevin's arms, she felt her eyes burn with emotion.

"Let go of me!" Norah shoved Kevin away, glaring at him. "I don't need your pity."

"Norah..." Kevin's voice was filled with helplessness.

Norah took a step back, sneering. "Don't look at me like that. After the divorce, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. Take your people and leave."

"How could I not care about you?" Kevin took a step forward. "Things aren't as simple as you think."

"Don't come any closer! Enough already!" Norah shouted, her voice breaking with anger. "Kevin, I hate you! You hid everything from me, you let Steven risk his life for me... It’s too late to stop it now. If anything happens to him, I'll hate you forever!"

Kevin's expression grew heavy as he asked, "For Steven, you're willing to do this to me?"

Norah shot back, "Isn’t Steven a hundred times better than you? He’s willing to risk his life for me. Can you say the same? When I was at my lowest, you didn’t choose me. You chose someone else!"

"Is that how you see me?" Kevin’s voice cracked with sadness.

Norah smirked bitterly. "What do you want me to think? Go be with Bianca. You can’t be a good person with me."

"Kevin, there’s no hope for us anymore."

With those final words, Norah took a step back, then turned and disappeared into the rain, leaving Kevin standing there, motionless.

His feet felt rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Her words echoed in his mind, each one cutting deeper than the last. Her words always led back to Steven, and it seemed that every moment he spent searching for a cure had only pushed her closer to him. So where did that leave Kevin?

"Captain Edwards!"

Levi's voice broke through the fog of his thoughts. He stood by Kevin, holding an umbrella over his head.

"It's raining. Let’s get inside."

Kevin’s gaze was distant, his fists clenched in frustration. He didn’t respond, but the weight of his silence spoke volumes.

The car slowly drove away, and Norah, walking in the opposite direction, was steadily making her way home. Her eyes were red from crying, and tears still flowed freely. She finally stopped, her heart breaking. She looked back at the car that had just disappeared from view.

That's fine, she thought. She didn’t want to burden anyone. She didn't want to be a problem.

Norah wiped her tears, but the gray sky seemed to mirror her pain, as if even God was grieving with her.

With a bleak smile, she disappeared into the lonely street corner.

...

"Captain Edwards, since Madame already knows, it might be better to tell her the truth. She’s misunderstanding everything," Levi suggested gently.

Frank nodded. "This situation is more heartbreaking than any TV drama. If she knows you’re working on an antidote for her, she’ll be grateful."

Both of them tried to persuade Kevin, but he seemed distant, lost in his own thoughts. His earlier confidence had vanished, and now he stood, soaked, with no energy left to move.

"How about the antidote? Do you have any other options?" Kevin’s voice was flat, his exhaustion apparent.

Levi and Frank exchanged uneasy glances. While dealing with Bianca, they also had to track down the antidote.

"It’s not just that Steven’s taking risks for her," Levi began. "You’ve done your part, too."

Kevin frowned. "I didn’t expect Steven to know. He shouldn't have gone to those lengths."

"We’ll find another way," Frank reassured. "Madam needs comfort now, though."

Kevin shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. "She hates me now. Anything I do will only make things worse."

After a moment of silence, Kevin went upstairs to change out of his wet clothes, with Levi and Frank trailing behind him, their faces reflecting the weight of his sadness.

Even though Kevin was a strong man, they could see the vulnerability in him when it came to his emotions.

"Solving the real problem is more important than anything else," Kevin muttered, his voice resolute. Despite Norah’s anger, he still had one priority—finding the antidote.

Just then, the sound of a car engine reached their ears. Bianca’s BMW pulled up outside.

She rushed in, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor. She paused when she saw the drenched men, still in their wet clothes.

"Kevin, why are you out in the rain?" Bianca’s voice was filled with concern, her hand reaching for a towel to dry him off. "You’ll catch a cold if you stay like this."

Kevin didn’t speak, only looked at her coldly. As she tried to wipe him down, he grabbed her hand firmly, his eyes icy. "When will there be an antidote?"

Bianca’s smile faltered. "I told you before. The antidote will be ready on the day we marry. Why are you so impatient?"

Kevin's jaw tightened. "When are we getting married?"

Bianca thought for a moment. "Once I finish filming this drama, it’s very important to me. After that, I’ll marry you in style."

Kevin’s expression hardened. "Can Norah hold out that long?"

"I’ll make sure she holds on!" Bianca said confidently. "It’s just a matter of time. Don’t worry, I won’t let her die."

Kevin’s eyes darkened with suspicion. "Do you really have an antidote?"

"Of course," Bianca replied, her voice filled with assurance. "For you, I’ve worked hard."

Kevin, overwhelmed by frustration, grabbed her neck with one hand, his eyes cold as ice. "You better not be lying to me. If your promises mean nothing, I’ll make sure you pay."

Bianca gasped for air, grabbing his arm in desperation. "Without me... she won’t survive either!"

Kevin released her, but the anger in his chest was still burning hot.

Bianca coughed violently, looking up at him. She could see the coldness in his eyes, and a knot of fear began to form in her chest.

Although she had Kevin, it seemed like he was slipping farther and farther away from her. His thoughts were no longer on her—they were on Norah.

"Did you go to find Norah?" Bianca asked, her voice quiet, but laced with concern.
