The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 362

Elias’s fingers trembled slightly as he turned the pages, one by one.

With every entry he read, the memories from the past two years—memories he had ignored and allowed to blur—were illuminated as if by a beam of light, growing sharper and clearer.

So many of them were details he had never paid any attention to, yet in this little notebook, Victoria had chronicled them one by one, like treasures.

But as he continued to flip through, the red check marks became scarcer, disappearing completely by the middle of the third page.

Without realizing it, Elias had reached the final page.

Only five items remained on this page:

95. Watch a movie with Elias.

96. Retake our marriage license photo with Elias.

97. Have an unforgettable birthday with Elias.

98. Go skydiving with Elias.

99. Watch the sunrise at the beach with Elias.

100. Have a child that belongs to me and Elias.

Elias’s gaze froze on the last item.

In that moment, he felt as if a colossal boulder had smashed into his heart. A sharp, violent pain shot through him, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The fingertips gripping the notebook turned white from the force of his hold, nearly piercing through the paper.

—‘Someone who loves children that much wouldn’t just go and get an abortion. Something isn’t right.’

Jonah’s words suddenly echoed in his ears.

Elias’s eyes darkened. When Jonah had asked him tonight if he wanted to look into Victoria’s abortion again, he had refused.

Just as Lucian had said, he was afraid.

He was afraid that the results Jonah found would be the same as that initial report—that Victoria would rather harm her own body than keep his child.

But he was also afraid the results would be different. If they were, everything he had done to her would become a set of sharp knives wedged between them. Their blades, stained with the blood of Victoria and their unborn child, would drown him completely.

After a long silence, Elias called Jonah, his voice low and hoarse.

“…Help me find out what really happened with Victoria’s abortion.”
