The doctor handed me a tiny bottle. "This is the medication they used. Mr. Yule gave it to Mrs. Yule first... then took it himself."My hands tightened around the bottle as I read the label, my throat like sandpaper. "They must've been in so much pain to make a choice like that," I whispered.Uncle Damien had hinted at something like this before, but I thought it was just a "what-if" plan. Never in a million years did I think he'd actually go through with it. The idea of him sparing Aunt Abby from suffering and then following her... it didn't feel real."This is the letter Mr. Yule left for you," the doctor added, offering me an envelope.I unfolded it, my heart sinking as Uncle Damien's handwriting filled my vision:***Rea,I'm sorry I can't stay to take care of you anymore. Ever since Narelle passed, I decided this would be the way I'd go. Abby and I agreed—it was what we wanted.Please don't be sad, and don't think I'm selfish. I just couldn't stay in this world any longer.
Love's Redemption Chapter 782
Lena felt weighed down after hearing about Keira's uncle and aunt. It wasn't guilt—it was the unsettling idea of two people who couldn't share life but chose to share death that stuck with her.People had been romanticizing dying for love since Romeo and Juliet, but Lena didn't buy it. To her, real love wasn't about leaving the world together; it was about staying in it, growing old side by side.When she'd never been in love, it seemed so simple: love was enough. But now she knew better. Finding a love that could survive life's curveballs was hard. Finding one that lasted into old age? Almost impossible.By the time Nate got home, it was late. Lena sat on the balcony, lost in her thoughts."Why are you still up? I told you not to wait," Nate said, wrapping his arms around her from behind and resting his chin on her shoulder."Are you exhausted?" she asked.He hummed in reply, too tired to say much.Lena could feel the weight of his exhaustion, like he might fall asleep right th

Nate wrapped Lena in his arms. "I'm sorry..."He'd said that more times than "I love you," and honestly, she was over it."Then go," she said, gently peeling his arms off.He kissed her neck softly, lingering. "I'll try to make it back for lunch.""There's no need," she replied, her voice steady. "Nate, let's break up."Nate froze. "Lena...""Keira's uncle and aunt passed away. Yesterday," she said, her voice breaking just enough to show the weight of it.Nate's brows knit. "What? That's impossible—her aunt wasn't that bad—""They ended their lives. Hand in hand."The words hit like a punch, and Lena's face twisted with pain he'd never seen before.He'd noticed her mood shift last night, but he was too caught up in work to ask. Now it all made sense."Why?" he whispered. "They could've waited—the surgery might've helped—""Maybe they didn't want to survive just to keep suffering," she said quietly.His throat tightened. "Lena, are you saying this is my fault?"He'd visite

"You broke up with Nate, and he just... said nothing?" I blinked at Lena, low-key stunned.She gave this tiny, tired smile. "Maybe he's done, too. Now he can live his life however he wants—no nagging, no guilt trips."Yeah, right. That sounded more like her venting than anything."Be real. Was breaking up just you blowing off steam? Or did you mean it?"Lena shook her head. "No, I've actually thought it through."I snorted, and she laughed. "Seriously. Since I told him to come back to Kehlmark, I've been asking myself—what do women really want from love and marriage?"Stability, someone to rely on, right? If he can't give me that, I can give it to myself. So why hold on to love or marriage?""Uh, maybe for keeping things... physically interesting?"She cracked up. "Oh, please. If that's all you want, you can 'buy' it—any flavor, any style, swap it out when you're bored."That sent me over the edge. "Dr. Lane, you're wild."Still, I got her point. "Lena, I'm with you, no matte

"Wrap it up in a gift box—it's for someone," Lindey told the clerk. She turned, and the moment her eyes landed on me, her voice wavered. "Rea.""Hi Lindey," I said, stepping toward her.Her eyes filled with tears almost instantly. "Rea..."That was all she managed to say. Just my name, like she had so much on her mind but couldn't get the words out.I studied her quietly. In just a few months, her hair had more streaks of gray, and her face looked tired, drained of life. The spark in her eyes was gone.I didn't need to ask how she'd been. Matthew's illness, the tension between her sons, the family crumbling—it was written all over her face.It all seemed to unravel after I broke up with Jace. They say a peaceful family brings prosperity, and looking at her now, I finally got it."How have you been?" she asked after a long pause."I'm doing well."She nodded quickly, almost like she needed to convince herself. "That's good. That's really good."I didn't ask how she was. The an

Lena didn't answer. A few seconds later, she just hung up.I blinked, a little surprised. Guess she'd made up her mind. That was Lena for you—straight to the point, no second-guessing. Honestly, she was braver than me like that.Not that I hadn't been firm before. When I dumped Jace, it was done. The random run-ins after? Not exactly my choice. Still, seeing Lena and Nate end like this? A bit of a downer, but I kept my mouth shut. Love's like coffee—only you know if it's bitter or sweet.Lena's phone buzzed again while we sipped tea. She glanced at it, saw the message from Nate: [Lena, I'm leaving.]Her expression didn't even twitch. "I'll block him later," she said casually."If you can't do it, I'll gladly help," I teased, smirking.She shot me a look—the classic bestie, stop talking glare. By the time we left with the package, Nate was still sitting in her inbox, unanswered.On the ride home, Lena scrolled through her phone. I caught her hovering over Nate's chat, skimming th

"Mom," Lena said with a helpless smile, "is this Grandpa's birthday party or my personal matchmaking event?""Why not both?" Carol replied, breezy as ever. "It's settled—keep an open mind later. My beautiful, talented daughter could snag a boyfriend in seconds."Lena sighed. "Fine, fine. You go play matchmaker. I'm gonna find Rea—she even brought Grandpa a gift."She used me as an escape route and plopped down beside me a moment later. I'd overheard the whole thing and couldn't help but grin."Your mom's got guts. And honestly, she's not wrong. Weren't you the one who said the best way to get over someone is to move on with someone else?""Alright, if I see someone I like, I'll make a move immediately."Before she could finish, Aaron strolled into view.In a sleek black suit with the top button of his shirt undone, he had this polished-but-effortless look that could rival a movie star. The dark fabric against his pale skin gave him an untouchable, almost mysterious vibe."Your

Lena and Aaron froze, clearly mortified.Shaun was oblivious to the awkwardness radiating from Lena and Aaron. His eyes stayed glued to Lena. "You're so pretty... no wonder Aaron—hey, ow! Aaron, what the heck?"Aaron grabbed Shaun by the neck and hauled him away before he could finish whatever embarrassing thing he was about to say. Lena muttered under her breath, "Crazy."I smirked. "Aaron's little darling?" I repeated, my voice dripping with teasing.Lena smacked my arm. "Don't start. Let's go give Grandpa his gift."Her ears were bright red as she dragged me off, clearly flustered.Of course, I couldn't let it slide. "Lena, if you and Aaron aren't that close, maybe you should consider him. Handsome, rich, and keeping it in the family—it's basically perfect."She glared daggers at me. "Keira Kay, one more word and I'm cutting you off.""Oh, defensive much?" I teased, smirking."Keep going and see what happens!" she snapped, lunging at me.I laughed and dodged her, only to s

"Got it!" Lena responded cheerfully. She washed her hands before sitting back down, picking up the utensils Aaron had prepared for her, and diving into her dumpling-and-dipping-sauce breakfast combo. "Uncle, why aren’t you eating?" She had already eaten two dumplings before realizing he hadn’t touched any. "I’m not hungry." Three words. Which meant he hadn’t eaten yet. "There’s too much food. I can’t finish it all by myself. Eat some too," Lena said casually as she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and held it up to his mouth. She did it so naturally—until she realized what she had just done. Aaron froze for a second, surprised by her gesture. The moment of hesitation made her realize too—wasn’t this kind of inappropriate? She was just about to pull her hand back when— He leaned in and took the dumpling straight into his mouth. Lena’s face flushed red in an instant. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and focused on eating. Meanwhile, Aar
Love's Redemption Chapter 1012
She was shocked to see him here so early. Especially today—a day when everyone was celebrating the new year, spending time with their loved ones—and yet, he was here. With her. Lena wasn’t made of stone. She felt it. A warmth, an unspoken emotion that settled deep in her chest. "Uncle, why are you here so early?" She walked over, hands casually tucked into her coat pockets. "I didn’t want you to go hungry," Aaron replied simply, lifting the bag of food in his hand. He glanced at her break room. "Open the door." She unlocked the door and stepped inside, with him following close behind. Her break room was small—a single desk and chair, a narrow bed, and a tiny wardrobe. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. "Sit down, Uncle," she said naturally, settling onto the bed while motioning for him to take the chair. Aaron placed the food down and asked, "Did you sleep at all?" "I did," Lena replied. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she thought of that dream—and let o

"If it weren’t for my goddaughter, I wouldn’t even bother with you," Lena said, gently rocking the baby in her arms. "Right, little Aurora? Your godmother just adores you." "Come on, Aurora, it’s time to eat," Lena said as she carefully placed the baby in Keira's arms. Although it was her first time, Keira wasn’t embarrassed. She followed Lena’s instructions, trying to breastfeed for the first time. But the process was… painful. And since her posture was incorrect, neither of them got it right—Keira ended up covered in sweat from struggling, and her baby still hadn’t eaten properly. Panic set in. Anxiety crept up her spine. "What do I do?" Keira asked, her voice tight with unease. "It’s okay. This happens at first. Let’s transition with formula for now," Lena reassured Keira before glancing at Hayden, who had been standing there the whole time, watching anxiously—and sweating just as much as Keira was. "Go make your daughter a bottle," she told him. Hayden, the man wh
Love's Redemption Chapter 1010
That conversation… Lena shuddered. Yeah, she had definitely come back too early. It was best to leave now before she ruined the mood for those two inside. Not wanting to hear any more, she quickly turned to leave—only to smack her leg against a nearby chair. The pain was real, but worse was the noise it made, drawing attention to her presence. Inside the room, Hayden—already feeling awkward from Keira's teasing—froze. The sound from outside made him even more uncomfortable. Keira couldn’t hold back her laughter. The moment Keira burst out laughing, however, pain shot through her lower abdomen. "Ah—ow!" Keira gasped. Hayden immediately panicked. "What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?" Hearing her cry, Lena rushed in as well. "What happened?" "I laughed too hard and pulled my stitches," Keira explained, gripping Hayden’s hand tightly. Lena glared at Keira. "You’re a mother now, and yet you’re still acting like a child. Do you have any idea what condition you’re in?"

"It’s fine. I can do it," Hayden said naturally as he picked up the basin and went to fetch warm water. The moment he stepped out, Lena turned to scold Keira. "You went through so much pain to give birth to his child. Why would you feel bad about letting him do something for you?" "It’s not that I feel bad—I just feel embarrassed," Keira whispered in defense. Lena rolled her eyes. "So dramatic." Keira shot her a glare in return. "Just wait until it’s your turn. When your husband has to handle your private matters, you’ll understand how awkward it is." The moment the words left Keira's mouth, she saw Lena’s face turn red. Lena quickly hugged the baby and turned away. But Keira caught it. Something was off. "Wait… why are you blushing?" Keira asked suspiciously. "I am not blushing," she denied immediately. What Keira didn’t know was that her words had triggered the memory of Lena's ridiculous dream—where she had been lying on the delivery bed, cursing Aaron while gi
Love's Redemption Chapter 1008
The moment she finished cursing, Lena jolted awake. She sat there, dazed. What kind of ridiculous dream was that? She had assisted in delivering countless babies before, but this was the first time she had ever dreamed of giving birth herself. And not only that—she had dreamed of giving birth to Aaron’s child? That was beyond outrageous. Absolutely absurd! What a way to start the new year. That dream was anything but beautiful. Lena ran a hand down her face, shaking off the lingering unease. She quickly got up, poured herself a glass of water to calm down, and then left the break room. Back in the hospital room, Hayden was feeding Keira. Keira was perfectly capable of eating on her own, but he insisted on feeding her, saying that she was in a special period and should be treated like a queen. That this was the time to learn how to be spoiled properly. Fine. If this was how he wanted to make up for the suffering she endured giving birth to their daughter, she’d give

Keira looked at Lena and smiled as she followed up on Hayden’s words. "You’re family. It’s different." Lena shot her a subtle glare before stuffing the red envelope into her pocket and saying, "Give me the rest. I’ll hand them out for you later." Hayden passed her the prepared stack of red envelopes, and as she took them, she asked, "What about the other departments?" Hayden and Aaron exchanged a glance and chuckled. "Of course. Every medical staff member in this hospital gets one." "President Hart, you’re too generous," Lena said, giving him a thumbs-up. With that, she took the envelopes and left. Aaron glanced at the time. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now." "Mm. Happy New Year!" Hayden said, offering his holiday wishes. "Happy New Year to your whole family," Aaron replied, adding a few extra words that made both Hayden and me instinctively turn toward the baby in the bassinet. From today onward, we were officially a family of three. Outside the h
Love's Redemption Chapter 1006
When Keira returned to the hospital room, she was greeted by a sight that made her pause. The room was decorated with fresh flowers and balloons, and beside her bed, there was a small cart filled with various gift boxes. The atmosphere was so festive that if someone walked in, they might have thought it was a birthday party rather than a postpartum recovery room. "What’s all this?" Lena asked on Keira's behalf. "A reward for my wife," Hayden answered, his hand still holding Keira's as he gazed at her with deep affection. "She went through so much. This is my way of thanking her." Keira smiled faintly. "I don’t need any of this." "Whether you need it or not is one thing. Giving it to you is my choice," Hayden said, pressing a kiss onto Keira's fingertips. "Even if everything I have already belongs to you, I still want to give you more." "Such a loving husband—honestly, what more could a woman ask for?" Lena teased before patting Keira's hospital bed. "But if President Hart r
Love's Redemption Chapter 1005
Elder Mitchell wasn’t buying it. "That just means you guys didn’t really want to give anything. If you truly wanted to, there’s no such thing as a gift that can’t be delivered." The two old men started bickering again, but Hayden ignored them. Instead, he kept his eyes on the infant bathing room. Before long, the nurse finished bathing the baby and carried her out. Hayden reached out to take her, but the two elders immediately moved to get closer. He blocked them without hesitation. "Don’t you know old people’s eyes are toxic? You shouldn’t be staring at her for too long." Elder Hart: "…" Elder Mitchell: "…" With that, Hayden carried the baby and walked away. The two old men trailed after him, hoping to catch another glimpse, but Hayden wasn’t about to give them the chance. "Congratulations," Aaron, who had been standing nearby, offered his well wishes. "It’s a daughter. Take a look," Hayden said, his pride practically radiating off him. Aaron lowered his gaze to the
