I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 3

Nathan extended his hand toward Isabella. “Chwith

me.”

The scene faintly overlapped with their first meeting four years ago. Back then, it was in this very spot where a

wounded Isabella, driven out of het hby her mother, had curled up in despair. Nathan Hill, like the dawn

breaking through the darkness, appeared in her life..

Naive and inexperienced, Isabella had been drawn to his kind and compassionate face. Without hesitation, she

followed him.

“Sir, why me?”

Though young, Isabella understood that nothing in the world cfree.

Nathan, burdened by his thoughts, took a moment before replying in a low voice, “It has to be you.”

She didn’t know that he had painstakingly sought her out, going to great lengths to approach her. In her

innocence, she mistook him for a benefactor and believed she was just another of the many impoverished

children he had helped. She trusted him so easily.

“Sir, thank you for givinga home. I’m very hardworking-I can cook, do laundry, sweep, and mop... | can do

so many things.”

Nathan gave her a faint glance. “I'm not looking for a housekeeper.”

“Then how can | repay you?”

“You really want to repay me?”

“Yes. Even a small kindness deserves a great return.”

Nathan smiled knowingly.

Now, looking at Isabella curled up again, Nathan, who had spent four years with her, could easily deduce her

reason for returning, to Rainbow Bridge. This was where they had first met. By instructing Ezekiel to bring her

back here, wasn’t she signaling her desire to return to the point before she met him?

A faint, bitter smile tugged at Nathan's lips.

“Did you regret meeting me?”

Isabella didn’t respond.

Her wounds, reopened after the chase, had soaked the chiffon dress on her back with blood. She was using all

her strength to suppress the pain.

Nathan reached out to gently touch her head, but Isabella slightly tilted her head, avoiding his hand.

He sighed almost inaudibly.

“Isabella, I'll make it up to you.”

At that moment, his phone rang. Picking up the call, he heard Moore's father’s anxious voice.

“Nathan, you must cquickly. Victoria becagitated after learning about Isabella’s disappearance. The

doctor says her condition is relapsing. Please cand calm her down-she only listens to you.”

Nathan's expression turned grave as he ended the call, his worry for Victoria unmistakable in his eyes.

“Isabella, your Sis just had surgery and can’t handle any stress. | need to go to the hospital to check on her. Stop

causing trouble and go hwith the assistant.”

Standing up, he instructed his assistant, “Take my wife home.”

He didn’t notice how Isabella’s body had gone limp and pale, nor the way she seemed far from okay.

Nathan drove off in his Rolls-Royce Wraith.

“Nathan, does Isabella hatefor taking one of her kidneys? Is that why she ran away?”

Victoria threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly.

Nathan patted her trembling back, carefully sidestepping the issue. “Victoria, don’t overthink it. It was her choice

to donate the kidney. You don’t need to feel guilty.”

“Does she hate you, too? Hate that you married her but gave your love to her Sis?”

A wave of irritation surged within Nathan. In a tone that felt less than genuine, he replied, “She’s easily satisfied.

Having the title of Mrs. Hill is enough for her-she won't care about what she’s lost.”

“It must be because you've been spending too much twithlately and neglecting her. She's just acting

out.”

Victoria's tears fell like summer rain-sudden and fleeting.

Moore's father, looking at his beautiful daughter, was-filled with pain and anger. His voice carried none of its

usual kindness.

“Isabella is too inconsiderate. Victoria just barely survived, and now she’s making a scene, scaring Victoria like

this. How can she be so thoughtless?”

Nathan cast a chilling glance at Moore's father. “Don’t forget, she just had surgery herself. This is her first time

acting out. Let her be.”

Moore's father was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of guilt passing through his eyes before he awkwardly

laughed it off.

“She’s physically strong; she’ll be fine.”

Nathan shot him a sharp glare, silencing him instantly.

Victoria clung to Nathan's hand, her eyes red from crying. “Nathan, haven't you thought that three people in a

relationship are one too many? You took Isabella’s kidney for me. Even if she doesn’t say it, she must feel hurt.

Why not divorce her? You don’t love her anyway. You love me. Marry me, and we'll make it up to her. Please?”

Nathan subtly pushed her away. “Victoria, I've told you before, | won't divorce Isabella. She’s not well, and | have

to take care of her for the rest of my life. This marriage isn’t something I can give up on my own.”

It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Victoria‘ s head. Sniffling, she said, “Nathan, you've

fought and triumphed in the ruthless business world. Surely you've

wronged countless people. Why, when it comes to Isabella, are you so insistent on keeping your promise?”

Nathan replied, “Business is business-an eye for an eye. But Isabella... has never wronged me

Victoria broke down in tears. “Nathan, if | had known saving my life would costyou, | wouldn't have taken

Isabella’s kidney.”

Nathan said, “Victoria, the world is fair. You may have lost love, but you gained a second chance at life. And

Isabella, though she lost a kidney, gained the title of Mrs. Hill.”

His face darkened as he left, defeated.

Victoria sobbed into her hands. “It’s not fair. None of it is fair... How can | live without you?”

Moore's father quickly comforted her. “Oh, my sweet girl, don’t cry. Seeing you upset breaks my heart. Don’t

worry-I'll talk to Isabella. I'll make her let Nathan go.”

Victoria stopped crying, nodding slightly. “You're right, Dad. Nathan values integrity and won't break his word to

Isabella. But if we can make Isabella give up on him willingly...”

“Yes, yes. I'll figure something out. Don’t worry-I’ll make sure you and Nathan are together.”

Feeling unsettled, he frowned and asked the maid who opened the door, “Where's my wife?”

The maid took his coat. “Sir, Madam has been acting very strangely today. Since coming home, she locked

herself in her room and hasn't cout. We called her, but she didn’t answer.”

Nathan glanced up at the second floor, startled.

“I'll check on her.”
