Chapter 1271
When Love Comes Late
Neville shook his head.
âNo, itâs a personal matter.
I deceived you.
I am impotent and canât do what normal men can.
â
Susie was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
âIâve thought it through.
I wonât, and canât, hurt you anymore.
Letâs call off the engagement,â Neville admitted.
Susie gazed at Neville, her eyes reflecting despair and sadness.
After a moment, she wiped away her tears, grabbed her bag, and walked away, slamming the door shut.
Stella requested the doctor to reevaluate Mileyâs condition.
With the doctorâs consent, she packed up Mileyâs belongings and left the hospital with Miley.
As they stood waiting for the elevator, Neville suddenly emerged, halting Miley in her tracks.
After Susie left, Neville had ventured to Mileyâs ward, only to find it impeccably clean and unoccupied.
He had initially intended to head to Mileyâs home in search of her, but encountered her at the elevator.
Miley gazed at him in silence, a wave of relief washing over her upon confirming his well-being.

She refrained from speaking and simply regarded Neville wordlessly.
There were countless words he yearned to share with her, yet in her presence, he found himself grappling for a starting point.
After several seconds of contemplation, he asked, âMiley, can you give us a chance to talk things straight?â
Miley pursed her lips and replied, âI will give you a chance, but under the condition that you resolve your own matters with the Blakely family.
â
âMileyâ¦â Neville began to utter her name, but the elevator reached their floor just in time.

Holding Stellaâs hand, Miley entered the elevator without another glance in his direction.
The doors sealed shut, and Miley remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on the descending elevator floor indicator.
Stella lowered her head, observing their clasped hands.
She could feel that Mileyâs hand was trembling slightly.
Meanwhile, at Pinster Hospital, Flossie entered Bennyâs ward and addressed the caregiver, âYou may leave now.
I appreciate your assistance today.
â
During Bennyâs coma, whenever Flossie needed to attend to matters outside, she would enlist the help of a caregiver to look after Benny.
The caregiver nodded and rose from her seat.
She picked up her handbag and complimented Flossie.
âMiss, you are truly a devoted partner.
Youâve been by your husbandâs side throughout.
I believe he will wake up soon.
â
Flossie brushed off the snow on her coat and smiled, offering no verbal response.
She hung her coat on a hook and settled beside Bennyâs bed.
There were still no signs of Benny awakening, but his complexion had a slightly healthier flush compared to before.
