Chapter 1077

He suddenly covered his face, his voice sounding as if he had experienced all the vicissitudes of life, exhausted.

"Throughout, it was my insistence that harmed you."

He put down his hand and looked at me with red eyes. "That day, I said, no matter what, I have never regretted meeting you, but now, I regret it…"

My heart gave a sharp tug.

He smiled at me sadly and said, "If you hadn’t met me, you would definitely be happier now. Now thinking back, I really brought you too much disaster and pain…"

"No!" I cried out to him, my heart aching with heaviness.

Reynaldo looked at me and slowly backed away.

He said to me, "Esmeralda, I regret it. It turns out that forcing someone who dislikes me to love me is really a lose-lose situation. It hurt you and also made me suffer."

"I don’t hate you anymore, and I don’t force you anymore. From now on, who you want to love is your freedom, really."

He turned around and left after he finished speaking, his back revealing a touch of indescribable sadness and determination.

I felt a sudden panic in my heart and hurriedly tried to catch up.

Chapter 1077

Anton suddenly grabbed me and said in a low voice, "He is not in the right mood now. Whatever you say, he won’t believe it. Let him calm down first."

"Couldn’t calm down," I cried to him in despair. "He has never given up on this relationship."

He said this today, proving that he really wanted to give up.

"I admit I didn’t like him before, I even hated him, but now I love him, now I really love him…"

"I know, Esmeralda, you calm down, don’t rush. Wait until he calms down, then you explain to him properly, he will believe you."

I covered my head in pain, emotionally breaking down.

I don’t know why things turned out this way.

The plan to expose Kimberly’s crimes failed, Essie’s illness couldn’t be cured, and now Reynaldo is extremely disappointed in me.

Wasn’t it said that everything was going to develop in a good direction?

Why have all things turned out so bad now?

The head started to ache as if it had exploded, and the chest felt like a lump of air was stuck, making it difficult to even breathe.

I painfully clenched the collar of my chest, feeling dizzy.

Anton urgently exclaimed, "Esmeralda, don’t be like this, things haven’t reached a desperate point yet. I would definitely try my best to figure out a way to save Essie, you trust me."

Chapter 1077

"And Reynaldo, when you both calm down, you explain to him again, he will definitely believe you. You have been through so much, and now you love each other, what obstacle can’t be overcome?"

"Don’t be like this, Esmeralda, come back to the ward with me first, okay? Your condition is very bad, you need to rest…"

I breathed heavily and pushed away Anton’s hand.

I said to him, "I can’t just let him go like this, I need to find him and explain things to him right now."

"If we miss the present, then we… might really be finished."

Actually, from the beginning until now, Reynaldo has been insecure in this relationship.

Although he was always the one taking the initiative, in fact, he didn’t have a sense of security in his heart.

No matter how much I told him, made promises, deep down he never truly believed that I would fall in love with him.

I must have hurt him too deeply in the past.

However, if it was just me who hurt him, maybe he would still persist.
