Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1448

“Chris, you…” Lena asked him in a murmur, “What are you saying?”

Chris’ heart clenched, but his words could not be taken back. He did not regret revealing the truth—he was just afraid of seeing the disappointment in Lena’s eyes.

That look was as if her unwavering beliefs had collapsed, and the light she had always trusted had suddenly gone out. She had thought she was not alone in this world, but it was all a joke now.

“Lenny…” Chris licked his dry lips. “I’m sorry, I…”

Under Lena’s gaze, he could not even say a complete sentence.

Lena’s ears were buzzing. When Renee had exposed her as Nicholas’ illegitimate daughter earlier, she had been angry and afraid—angry that Renee had revealed her secret and afraid that she would lose Lina and Nicholas.

Now, Chris was saying that she was not from the Thompsons.

She felt hopeless. It was like stepping into an abyss. There was nothing left in her world to support her.

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed.

“Lenny!” Chris panicked and reached out to catch her.

Lena went limp as she curled up in his arms as if she had been drained of all her strength. Her eyes lost focus, and she closed them weakly with a flutter of eyelids.

Lena felt like she was walking on an endless road. She was all alone on this journey, facing venomous creatures and wild beasts, sharp stones cutting her feet, scorching sun and freezing cold. Everything she encountered, she faced alone.

She thought her heart had become hardened and could withstand anything, but when she saw their faces one by one—Lina, Chris, Nicholas, Linda, Cordelia, Zephyr, Zuko, and Toph… her heart softened.
