Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 144
Viscount Owen fell hard on his backside. The bottle that slipped from his grasp rolled noisily across the floor. The viscount made an even bigger fuss, wailing that his bones were broken.
Though the grating metallic sound was highly irritating, Helena barely registered it. Walter’s words from moments ago kept echoing in her ears like a persistent echo.
“I am her father.”
All Helena could see now was Walter’s broad back—steadfast, sturdy, and dignified in every memory she held.
Walter himself stepped forward to face Viscount Owen and asserted once more,

It was a voice Helena had never heard before—chilling and sinister, as if dropped into a glacial ice cave. To confirm he wasn’t joking, Walter placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Viscount Owen, his face ashen, flailed about like an upturned beetle.

Helena looked at her through tears that had nearly dried coldly. Her vision sharpened, revealing Matilda’s grotesquely twisted face.

Bolstered by Walter’s courage, Helena regained her composure and reclaimed her icy poise.
“Then can you die in my place?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
