Mr Billionaire's Unwanted Wife novel Chapter 34

She begged me to help her as the waves launched themselves at her, sending her plummeting to the bottom of the sea, but I turned away from her and tightened my hands into fists.

I want to save her and get her out of that damn water, but if I do, she won't ever be able to stand up for herself again. I don't want her to be a weak, helpless shell; instead, I want her to be strong enough to stand up for herself.

One thing became evident when her brother Asher informed me of her illness and how her uncle, aunt, and other members used to abuse and torment her.

She is so weak that she is incapable of standing up for herself.

She must thus embrace her inner rebel, have the will to overcome obstacles and stand up for herself.

And in order to learn, she must experience the threat to her life or soul damage that will awaken the spirit of retaliation within her. If I wanted to, I could jump in to save her in a matter of seconds, but I won't; she must do this in order to ensure that no one will ever harm her again once she learns how to defend herself and how to fight back.

She was moving more slowly as I turned to face her; it appeared like she was accepting defeat. My heart grew heavy as I wondered whether she was okay and worried about what may have happened to her.

She scowled and turned her head away from me before leaving.

"Emberly, await my arrival." Even when I chased after her, she refused to pay attention to me.

I told her to stop right then, and she did so.

I glared at her, "What the heck do you think you're doing, why are you ignoring me?"

She yelled, "What do you expect me to do, where are my manners, Mr. Adrian Campbell, thank you so much for saving my life from drowning in water,"
