Love Coming from the Least Expected novel Chapter 296

I was dumbstruck at once. I never once thought Monica would go on her knees and say something like this. I was dying, and there was no point trying to separate me from Christopher anymore.

“What do you mean, Ms. Martin?”

“I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I really don’t want to see Chris devastated. He will really lose it if he sees you like this when he wakes up fully.”

“Ms. Martin, you know I only have three months left. Christopher is my husband. I should spend my remaining days with him. Who are you to stop me from seeing him?” My body stiffened as I questioned her unreservedly.

“Are you depriving me of the chance to spend my last days with the man I love?” I asked harshly.

“No! That’s not what I mean…” Monica asserted as she cried, “You know how much he loves you. He will be over the moon to see you tomorrow, but he will plunge into the deepest abyss when he sees you in this state. This is just too cruel for him.”

She looked at me intently and moved closer. “Do you know why I hate you so much after I saw you and him together? Given your reputation and family background, there’s no reason for me to be jealous of you. I’m better than you in all regards, but I know Chris well. He’s someone who doesn’t change his mind once he has decided on something. Nothing can ever sway him. I can imagine how broken he will be when he knows you’re about to leave forever.”

Monica held on to my hand beseechingly. “You can hate me, or even hit me. I don’t care, but please, don’t go and see Chris anymore. This is me begging you. This will be too much for him.”

What she said zapped me like a lightning. I shook my head in denial and shouted at the top of my lungs, “Get out, Monica Martin! Get out! You care for Christopher, but so what? I’m the person he loves! Not you!”

I completely lost it and lambasted her, “I only have three months left. I will have Christopher with me for only three months. You can do whatever you want with him after that! You can marry him, and you guys can a family together. Why can’t you leave me alone? Get out! Now!”

I grabbed the pillow beside me and lunged it at her. Monica knelt on the ground, unmoving even when the pillow hit her. She apologized over and over to me as I shouted in a frenzy. I lifted my hand and swept across the table, sending the tray and cups flying across the room.

“I will die with Christopher. I will never leave him!”
