Ten Years Later, I Woke Up as the Wife of the Mafia Heir I Once Hated Chapter 16By Novel7s / September 4, 2026 Ten Years Later, I Woke Up as the Wife of the Mafia Heir I Once Hated Chapter 16When I opened my eyes again, the doctor handed me a cup of warm water and a tissue.“Are you okay?”No.I wasn’t.Not even close.I finally understood why Alex was only thirty-five, yet his temples were already streaked with so much gray.Those traces of time…they were all because of me.Little by little, I had worn down Alexander Charleston, the man who had once been so confident andunstoppable.My illness was like a weight I carried.No matter how much time, patience, or effort he gave….he couldn’t put those broken pieces back together.After I completely collapsed, Alex took on the role of father himself.He didn’t want Nick to become a child forgotten by his own mother.So he filled the empty space I had left behind.Even the reason he had been cold toward me in the beginning…wasn’t because he truly hated me.It was because he had seen through Seb’s intentions long before I did.He knew Seb wanted to use me.That was why he tried to keep me away from him.But back then, I saw only Alex’s cruelty.I forgot his protection.The truth was far more painful than I imagined.Alex had never given up on me.He gave me a chance to live again.He gave Nick a father.But what about me?Every time I regained clarity…the first thing I did was push him away.Did someone like me really deserve for him to keep staying?He had spent ten years carrying the burden of my illness.Ten years.From twenty-five to thirty-five.Those should have been the best years of a man’s life.He should have had his own career.His own happiness.A healthy wife who didn’t need medication just to stay stable.But what did he get instead?A cabinet full of medicine bottles I misunderstood.A wife who could fall apart at any moment.And himself…being rejected again and again.Alex was like the silent fortress of the Charleston family.Always standing there.Allowing me to crash against his walls.Allowing me to misunderstand him.Allowing me to leave wounds on his heart over and over.Yet he never once cried out in pain.But I had forgotten.He was human too.He could become tired.He could get hurt.He could grow old from years of waiting.I couldn’t keep being this selfish.I couldn’t let him spend another decade protecting someone who might never fully recover.So…I should give him freedom.
