The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 10

The next day, I was woken by a call from one of Alex's friends in his circle.

"Vivian, could you come to the hospital? Last night, Mr. Carter drank way too much-no one could stop him —and he ended up drinking until he coughed up blood."

"Honestly, he regretted it within a week after you left. He's just so prideful it hurts him. He couldn't let you go but wouldn't admit he was wrong, either."

"During those years you were gone, Mr. Carter kept looking for you. He went to so many cities, convinced you'd been taken away by someone, searching all over but never finding you.

Sometimes, after drinking, he'd choke up and whisper that he'd lost you for good. You don't know how happy he was to see you at the fashion show. It hasn't been easy for him, Vivian. Is there really no chance between you two?"
