As the snow fell, covering the streets in a white blanket, people strolled, cuddling their partners for warmth. Noah sped in his car until a red signal halted him. Extinguishing his cigarette, he noticed a woman, shivering without warm attire. She was in formal clothing, seemingly off from work, hugging herself tightly in the snow. Noah's car stopped, he got out of the car, and seeing him, she paused in her tracks.Noah quickly removed his blazer and draped it around Jemma, leading her to his car. He didn't hesitate, pulling her along by the wrist. Jemma complied, quietly seating herself. He fetched his warm coat from the back seat and gently wrapped it around her. Adjusting the car's temperature, Noah glanced at her as she gradually stopped shivering, now feeling warm and comfortable. "Where's your car?" Noah asked.Jemma softly responded, "I got home late that night, so... my stepmother..."Noah's tone turned frosty. "Look at me."Jemma lifted her gaze, meeting his icy eyes."Did s
"Who told you where I live?" Noah asked."Jemma shared it. I really need to talk to you." Sara seemed hesitant."Let's go inside the apartment. We can sit down and chat comfortably.""No. I'm fine."Noah put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Tell me."Sara, tears in her eyes, said, "Yohan's dying. The liver transplant failed. He needs a new liver urgently."Noah smirked, "Then find someone else to donate.""When the potential donor found out they had to donate to Yohan, they demanded a hefty sum of money. And as you know, the company is already drowning in debt."He smirked, "Who have you come to meet here? Your son is dead to you. Maybe you're here to meet a businessman. But how can I assist you with this? If you're after money to pay off the donor... Sorry, I'm not in a charitable mood."Sara was taken aback by his harshness but managed to stay composed. "Jimmy, you have the same blood group as Yohan. Can you donate your liver to him?"Noah's eyes turned dark, and he turned away.
Sara rushed to the hospital and quickly entered the doctor's office. The doctor greeted her kindly, "Miss Owen, please come in."She sat down at the table, facing him. "How's his condition?" she asked, her voice filled with hope."You ask that every day, and I regret to say it hasn't improved. In fact, it's gotten worse," the doctor replied."Is the donor still willing to help?""Yes, but his price hasn't changed."Sara placed a check on the table, "Give this to him," she said.The doctor took the check and examined it carefully. He was surprised by the amount on the check and the name written on it - 'Eric Bond' from Venus Group."That's the exact amount the donor asked for. Please let him know and proceed with the transplant as soon as possible," Sara insisted.The doctor returned the check to her. "Miss Owen, this check isn't necessary anymore."Sara was left speechless."We're proceeding with Mr. Dixon's liver transplant in a few hours, and the donor doesn't want any payment," the
As Sara arrived at the hospital, she came to know that Yohan had regained consciousness and was moved to the regular ward. Carrying happiness, she headed to the ward. As she opened the door, she overheard Ryan speaking to Yohan, "I planned to give you a good beating once you woke up, but now that you're finally conscious, I'll wait till you're all better to take that.""Do you want to die?"Upon hearing Yohan's strained voice, tears began to stream down Sara's face. It had been a while since she last heard from him."You're getting old, but your mischief hasn't changed. You still enjoy scaring people, don't you? I…"While he was talking, his gaze landed on Sara, who stood by the door with tears in her eyes."I better go. Your wife's here," Ryan said to Yohan. He came to Sara, “I'm not inviting you to tomorrow's party. You stick with your husband and take care of him," he said casually, patting her shoulder and winking playfully before leaving. She entered the room, closing the door be
At seven in the morning, the surgery concluded, and Noah was moved to the ICU. Tearfully, Sara inquired of the doctor, "How is my son doing?""He suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Fortunately, it's not severe. However, he experienced blood loss, so we'll need to give him more blood. But he'll be fine.""Why was surgery necessary then?""It was a routine, minor procedure. Nothing to worry about." The doctor appeared to be concealing something.He left the room. Sara looked at her son, wrapped in bandages and connected to various machines. Feeling overwhelmed, she held her head in frustration and took a seat on the couch. She had just dealt with Yohan's critical condition, and now Noah was also in a serious state.Suddenly, Natalie and Bruno arrived at the hospital.“Sara…”Sara walked towards them."Aunt, uncle... why did you come?""How's Jimmy? Is he fine?" Natalie asked."He... he's lost a lot of blood.""We've heard something. The news reports... What went down at that hotel? W
Jemma couldn't sleep the entire night after Noah's threat. The next morning, she got ready for work and left home. As she was heading out, she read the news that someone had entered Jay's ICU room and removed his oxygen mask, attempting to kill him. Fortunately, the nurse checked on Jay every two hours, and when she arrived, Jay was struggling to breathe. The nurse immediately called the doctor, and the situation was brought under control. Jemma felt scared and worried. She thought the incident might be linked to Noah's warning, making her tense that Noah might attempt to harm Jay. A few days later, Jay finally woke up from his long coma. Jemma took a break from work and rushed to the hospital to visit him. Upon entering the room, she saw Jay lying in bed, engaged in a conversation with a nurse, wearing a warm smile. Tears welled up in her eyes, causing her to hesitate at the doorway. Jay noticed her and gently called out her name."Hey, Jemma... You're here."Jemma bit her lip, fee
"Let go of me, Jay."Ignoring her plea, Jay nestled his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. "Did you really sleep with him?"Jemma felt a pang of guilt as Noah's words echoed."Let go, Jay," she repeated, trying to free herself from his grip.But Jay continued, "No...""Please, Jay," Jemma's resistance grew stronger. However, in a sudden burst of frustration, Jay forcefully pushed her against the wall."Why?" His voice cracked with anger.Jemma tensed up as Jay's grip tightened on her shoulders."Who is he? You let him get close to you. You slept with him. I was your damn boyfriend. We were engaged. You never even gave me a kiss," Jay's voice was filled with hurt and frustration.Jemma attempted to break free, but Jay pushed her against the wall once more."I'm not done talking," he said firmly."Stop it, Jay. We're not together anymore.""That's what I'm trying to understand. We were together for years, and I couldn't even touch you. Why did he get to sleep with you the
Jemma lay still on the bed for some time, making sure he had truly left. When she heard the beeping sound of the apartment door locking, she breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly, she went to lock the bedroom door from the inside. Turning on the lights, she glanced around the room. Her eyes landed on a T-shirt and pyjamas that belonged to Noah. Putting on his clothes seemed a much better option than being naked, so she quickly got dressed and then lay back on the bed, feeling weak and drained. She reached for her mobile phone and checked the notifications flooding in. The internet was filled with news about her and Jay. Just then, a notification popped up on her phone. It was a text message from Noah. "Turn off the lights. Put the phone away and get some sleep."Jemma's eyes widened in surprise. He wasn't in the apartment, so how did he know what she was up to?Angrily, she replied, "Are you spying on me? Do you have cameras in your bedroom?""I can see the light from downstairs. And
