Alpha's Regret: False Mate True Luna novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229

Outside, the fierce wind howled. The bamboo tree by the window was nearly ressed to the ground by accumulated snow, like me, almost broken by life’s pressures.

A nurse brought dinner. I barely ate two bites before my stomach felt blocked churning with an indescribable nausea.

I was looking down in a daze when the room door was pushed open without warning.

It was Victoria.

She said nothing, walking directly to the window to close the curtains I had left open, whether because the snowy day was too bright or because my being alive was too much of an eyesore.

She looked different from before.

The elegant, imposing lady who was always impeccably dressed now had a pale face, dark circles under her eyes, no makeup, and “haggard” written all over her.

I didn’t speak, and the room instantly fell into deathly silence.

She finally turned around, staring at me, her voice direct: “The child you’re carrying is Ferris’s, right?”

I instinctively denied: “No.”

Her gaze immediately changed, her eyes suddenly narrowing.

“You don’t need to lie,” she tried to suppress her tone, pretending to be calm, During that time, you were living with Ferris. I’m not stupid.”

I laughed coldly, asking back: “Don’t tell me you were watching us at night too?”

She was speechless.

I could see she was unwilling. Ferris hadn’t woken up yet, and I had denied the child’s parentage.

She wasn’t concerned about whether I was lying, but worried – whether this child would carry the Vargan name in the future.

She stepped closer, her tone softening but carrying pressing coldness:

“I know I was too harsh to you before. You can resent me, but lying about something like this is too unfair to me.”

“Whether the child in your belly is a Vargan child isn’t something you alone can decide.”

I sneered inwardly..

She was thinking too simply. If I nodded and admitted it, as soon as the child was born, she would find every way to take it away. Ferris’s heir–she couldn’t wait to raise it herself.

I spoke calmly: “I’ve already made it very clear. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your son.”

Her face suddenly stiffened.

When I mentioned Ferris, her eyes reddened.

“How dare you mention Ferris?” Her voice trembled, nearly suppressed to the point of breakdown, “Do you know that to save you, he’s still in intensive care!”

“His eyes…” She paused, as if the words were stuck in her throat for a long time before filly saying, “were pierced by glass, completely destroyed.”

With a thunderous sound, my mind went blank.

I instinctively looked up at her, my lips pale: “What did you say?”

“The doctor said even if Ferris wakes up, he’ll be blind!” Her eyes were red, teeth clenched. “My excellent son… ruined because of your

I sat there stunned, barely able to hear my own heartbeat.

Those eyes… Ferris, such a proud person if he knew he could never see again how devastated would be be?

I knew why he always resisted me. Besides not loving me, there was also my hearing impairment.

What he most avoided were people like me who “held him back.”

At banquets, gatherings, public occasions, he’d rather attend alone than bring me.

Now, his eyes were ruined.

I closed my eyes, my heart feeling stabbed,

Victoria, seeing my expression, finally slowly suppressed the anger in her eyes her tone much lower.
