Chapter 9
Amara, who had been listening to everything, turned pale. She finally realized that she had been played.
“Elwood, you‘ re really a beast! You‘ re not human! You said you loved me, that
you were going to marry me, but it was all a lie!”
Unfortunately, it was only now that she saw clearly.
Was the man she was engaged to even human or a monster?
I sneered.
As Elwood knelt at my feet, begging me to take him back, I kicked him with all my might, just like he had kicked me.
“Your love came too late and it was never sincere. Elwood, I was wrong to like you in the first place. But now, I see clearly. Everything I did for you, everything I gave

you, I want it all back.”
Elwood looked at me in despair and shouted, “No! Elysia, you can’t do this to me! Don’t you love me? Didn’t you do everything for me before?”
He continued to ask, but no one answered.
him anymore.
Garrick quickly withdrew all the investments and all future collaborations.
were canceled.
Elwood’s company went bankrupt
overnight. He became the same down–and- out man he was six years ago.
He tried to ask Amara for help, but she had already seen his true nature. Not only did she completely kick him out, but she also called in numerous bodyguards to give him. a harsh beating.
She even tricked him into losing all the little money he had left.
Everything seemed to return to the starting

point.
Three days later, the surgeon arranged by Garrick successfully performed the hearing restoration surgery.
As I walked out of the operating room, I immediately saw Garrick anxiously pacing back and forth.
When he saw me, he rushed over and hugged me. “Elysa, can you hear me?”
He whispered sweet words into my right ear, the ear that I had never been able to
hear from before.
I started hearing sounds so well.
I smiled and nodded. “I heard you. You said, ‘I love you.‘
Garrick, overjoyed, held me tightly in his arms, like I was a precious treasure. “That’s great, you finally recovered. Elysa, from now on, I’ll love you well, protect you and I will never let anyone hurt you again.”
Perhaps I should thank Elwood. If it

weren’t for the risk I took to help him back then,
I would never have had the chance to meet Garrick.
I wouldn’t have known that, after that one night, he had been captivated by me.
He had been waiting for me for the six years I waited for Elwood.
Thankfully, everything turned out this way
On our wedding day, Garrick invited all the prominent figures in Everhart City to attend and everyone wished us well.
But unexpectedly, a disheveled Elwood showed up uninvited.
With red eyes, he rushed over and pleaded, “Elysa, don’t marry him. I was wrong. Give me another chance. Let’s start over, okay? I won’t mind that you’re deaf. As long as we’re together, everything will get better…”
Hearing this, I could only find it absurd. “Elwood, you’re the only one who’s fallen so

low.”
And then, pointing to my right ear, I added, “I can hear now. I’m not deaf, so please show some respect.”
That day, Elwood was promptly escorted
out.
I heard that he tried several times to start a new business, but no one was willing to help him.
He was caught stealing money from a beggar and the beggar broke his leg with a stick. After that, I never heard of him again.
Two months later, I found out I was
pregnant.
Elwood had always looked down on me, refusing to be with me, but now it seemed that misfortune and fortune were two sides.
of the same coin.
After I got pregnant, Garrick pampered me like a treasure.

No one ever called me “little deaf girl” again and no one dared to bully me.
Everything from the past felt like a dream. and I was finally embracing my new life.
