Love's Redemption Chapter 792
"We're sorry. The number you're trying to reach is currently unavailable."The robotic voice rang in my ears as I tried calling Jace again—and again. Every attempt ended the same way.Panic churned in my chest. Jace had been staying at Cloudscape Monastery, and now, with the fire and his phone silent, my mind spiraled to the worst-case scenarios.I wasn't just worried about him. I needed answers. How bad were the casualties? Were they okay? But no matter how many times I dialed, Jace didn't pick up.Frustrated and desperate, I slammed my foot on the gas and switched to Cole's number. His mom, Mrs. Drago, had also been staying at the monastery. If something had happened, surely Cole wouldn't stay quiet."We're sorry. The number you're trying to reach is currently unavailable."Declined.The pit in my stomach deepened. Had something happened to Mrs. Drago, too?My mind raced as I sped toward the monastery. Jace. Mrs. Drago. Anyone else caught in that fire—I couldn't bear the thou

"We don't know. If you want answers, check the hospital," the investigator said.Awesome. Just what I needed—another dead-end. The only silver lining? At least Jace was okay.Or... was he? I'd tried calling him again, but no answer. A pit formed in my stomach. What if he was hurt?I drove straight to the nearest hospital. The place was chaos—nurses and doctors darting around.Fire victims were being treated under some emergency protocol, so finding the right area wasn't hard. And there, in the middle of it all, was Jace.He looked like he'd just walked out of a disaster movie—soot all over, ash smudged into his clothes. He was moving non-stop, coordinating, talking to staff, looking totally... normal?Wait. Normal? This wasn't the Jace I knew—the one who screamed "rich boy energy" with his arrogant smirks and designer everything. This guy? He was all in, like he actually cared about something bigger than himself.It was so out of character, I had to blink twice to believe it.B

Jace didn't say it again, but the sadness in his eyes spoke louder than words.Abbot Levinsky was a bit of a mystery. A wandering monk who eventually settled at Cloudscape Monastery, he had no known family—unless you counted Jace.Their bond went way back. Jace had practically grown up under the Abbot's wing, soaking up his wisdom, turning their relationship into something more like a friendship over the years."Rea, let's focus on helping these people first," Jace said softly, pulling me out of my spiraling thoughts.As he turned to walk away, I grabbed his arm. "Was it an accident? The fire, I mean. Were you there when it started? Did you see anything weird?"His jaw tightened, and his eyes clouded with something heavy. "Rea, I'll look into it. Don't worry—and don't get involved."It was a warning, no question. Jace knew something but wasn't about to share it."Jace," I pressed, swallowing hard, "I'd love to sit this one out, but what if this fire wasn't random? What if it was
Love's Redemption Chapter 795
"They're fighting! Someone's fighting outside!" a panicked voice yelled from the hallway.I ran out just in time to see Cole swing his fist at Jace."Stop it! Cole, stop!" I shouted, rushing over to pull him back.Cole shoved me aside. My back hit the wall hard, my head cracking against it. Everything blurred for a second—my vision, my thoughts, everything.Jace, who hadn't fought back until now, called out to me, his voice filled with concern. "Rea..."But the second he looked away, his fist shot up, landing a clean hit on Cole. And just like that, they were going at it—a full-on, no-holds-barred brawl.I pressed my hand against the side of my head, trying to steady myself, but the fight was spiraling out of control. There was no stopping them. Desperate, I flagged someone down and told them to call security.By the time they were finally pulled apart, both looked like they'd gone ten rounds in a boxing ring. Jace was bleeding heavily from his nose, pressing tissues against it
Love's Redemption Chapter 796
The crowd just stood there, staring. No one was brave enough to step in.Even so, Cole snarled at the onlookers, "I dare any of you losers to try saving her! Come on, show me who's got guts!"He was madman on a rampage.Then came the voice: sharp, clear, and ice-cold. "Cole!"He froze. From my upside-down view—thanks to being slung over his shoulder like a duffel bag—I spotted a pint-sized savior with space buns. Nina.Before I could even beg, Cole sneered, "Where'd you come from, brat? Scram!"Most kids would've bawled on the spot. Not Nina. She folded her arms and deadpanned, "Why are you carrying someone like that? You look like a kidnapper."Oof. Bold of her.Cole's lip curled. "Scram~ Or did your mom never teach you English?"Nina rolled her eyes. "Why are you so grumpy all the time? Did you, like, swallow a stick of dynamite?"Cole opened his mouth to yell, but Nina steamrolled right over him. "Cole, I need to talk to you."Okay, I gotta say it—this kid was iconic. If

"I'm not getting dragged into this drama," Sasha said. "You're smart—figure it out yourself."Then, she turned to Nina and tugged at her hand. "Come on, let's go. Can't you see Cole's busy? He doesn't have time to play with you."Nina, with all the sass in the world, shot back, "If he's too busy to play with me, he can put Keira down! She can play with me instead."Sasha shrugged, letting go of Nina's hand like she couldn't care less. "Fine, stay if you want. I've got better things to do." She threw a smirk at Cole on her way out. "She's your problem now. Try not to lose her."And just like that, she sashayed away.I couldn't believe it. She ditched her own kid like it was no big deal. Then again, this was Sasha—the woman who once kidnapped her own kid. This was light work for her.Not that I was complaining. With Nina now clinging to Cole, it wasn't like he could just haul me off.Enter Jace, looking worse for wear. His nose had stopped bleeding, but he was pale as a ghost. "Co

"Threatened miscarriage."Wait, what? Did I hear that right? Miscarriage?!"Doctor, I'm pregnant?" I blurted, grabbing her coat like it was my last lifeline. My voice was a weird mix of shock, panic, and—okay, a tiny spark of joy.The doctor blinked at me. "You didn't know?" Then she gave me the most judgmental mom glare ever. "Young people these days—so reckless, no sense of responsibility."She glanced between Jace and me like she'd already decided we were just another careless couple. I didn't even bother correcting her. My brain was too busy short-circuiting."Doctor, am I really pregnant?" I asked again, desperate for confirmation."Yes," she said. "But it's not good news yet. The pregnancy's at risk. Whether the baby makes it... it's uncertain."Her bluntness hit like a slap. "Please, doctor," I begged, my voice wobble. "Help me save the baby."I'd been secretly hoping for this—like, without even realizing it. And now? My baby was here, and I'd been too clueless to notice
Love's Redemption Chapter 799
I trusted Lena completely."Don't worry. I've seen your ultrasound—the baby's fine," Lena said, her lips curving into the faintest smile. Even that small reassurance made me feel a little more grounded."You have to help me keep this baby," I said, my voice cracking."I know," she replied, her tone teasing as she added, "This is your love child with Hayden, after all."Jace turned away at that, but not fast enough to hide the flicker of loneliness on his face.Our tangled history had unraveled a long time ago—at least for me. Jace claimed he'd moved on, but moments like this made it clear he hadn't completely.Thanks to Lena, I got admitted to a hospital room—not her office, but a proper VIP suite.The pain in my abdomen eased up, and the bleeding wasn't getting worse. With my nerves settling, I finally had space to think about something else. "What's the deal with Dr. Cahn? How'd she score a job here?"Lena hesitated for a second before answering. "She's Retta's aunt."Ah. Th

This question—"Willing?"—kept echoing in Lena’s mind. It haunted her so much that she spent yet another sleepless night. Her answer was clear: she couldn’t. She knew Aaron had made his move and wouldn’t give up easily. But she simply couldn’t agree. And if she didn’t say yes, there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, she truly saw him as her younger uncle—there was no way she could see him as a boyfriend. “Dr. Lane, not sleeping well lately?” the hospital director asked as soon as he saw her. One glance, and he could tell she looked exhausted. “A bit of insomnia,” Lena admitted honestly. “Is it because you don’t have a boyfriend? Want me to introduce you to a few?” The director, ever so responsible, even took it upon himself to worry about her personal life. Lena glanced at the sparse hair on his head and chuckled. “Director, I’ll find someone myself. No need for you to concern yourself.” Aaron hadn’t gotten an answer from her, nor had he pursued her aggressively
Love's Redemption Chapter 957
"I've thought about it, and I have a plan. I’ll make them accept it. This is something I need to consider. You don’t have to worry," Aaron said with a tone of responsibility. Lena fell silent. A few seconds later, she replied, "Even if they accept it, I can't... Uncle, I’ve always seen you as my uncle and never felt anything else." Ron’s apartment was on the fifth floor, giving Lena a clear view of his face. His expression was slightly tense as he continued looking up at her. Though she couldn’t see his eyes, she could still feel the depth of emotion in them, and the loneliness he must have felt after being rejected. Lena lowered her gaze, unable to watch any longer. "Uncle, we have such a good relationship, don’t ruin it, please." "Do you know how many years I’ve liked you?" Aaron suddenly asked. Lena’s heart skipped a beat. How many years had he liked her? Did that mean he’d had feelings for her all along? But he had never mentioned it, and she had never sensed it. He
Love's Redemption Chapter 956
"Cough, cough..." Lena started coughing uncontrollably as Ron casually spoke. Even a real son-in-law wouldn’t start calling his girlfriend’s mother "Mom" right away, let alone someone pretending to be one. Lena stared at him blankly, and Ron winked at her with a gesture that seemed to say "Don’t worry." He then turned to speak to Briana on the phone. "Mom, I’ve been with Lena for a few months now. She’s been too shy to introduce me to you because she was afraid you wouldn’t approve of me... Yes, yes, we’re basically an underground couple." Lena rolled her eyes in disbelief. What kind of nonsense was this? She tried to grab his phone, not wanting to hear any more of his fabrication, but Ron dodged and continued speaking to Briana. "Mom, I’m really her boyfriend, not fake... Otherwise, why would she be here with me so late at night, right?" Ron certainly had a way with words, and Lena realized that asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend might be the best decision she’d made
Love's Redemption Chapter 955
Lena took a deep breath. As expected, her mother was not going to let this slide, but she still didn’t give up and continued testing her. "So why is it okay for others but not for me?" Briana scoffed. "If you’re looking for a man ten years older, are you looking for a husband or another father? And if you want someone younger, they’re not even of legal age yet—are you planning to take advantage of them? And what’s with all this talk about uncles or cousins? You want your dad and me to jump into the river?" Lena deflated. If she were to really get together with Aaron, they wouldn’t need to jump into a river—their blood pressure would probably be enough to do them in. "Lena, have you done something that goes against ethics and morals?" As sharp as ever, her mother quickly turned the tables and started questioning her. "What are you talking about? What could I have done? You tell me," Lena denied with all the confidence she could muster. Briana didn’t believe her. "Really? If yo
Love's Redemption Chapter 954
Ron’s apartment was a three-bedroom place, with two bedrooms and a study, all clean and neatly organized. Lena was staying in the guest room. The curtains and furnishings in the room, especially the vanity, looked as if they were specifically chosen for a girl. "Dr. Lane, don’t misunderstand. This room isn’t my ex-girlfriend’s, and you're the first woman, aside from my mom, to stay here," Ron quickly explained. He told Lena that this room was reserved for his mother. Sometimes, when she had an impulsive moment or got into a fight with his dad, she’d stay over for a while. That’s why the room was decorated in a feminine way. Lena could feel it too; the room had a distinctly maternal scent. It made her think of the times she used to sleep in her mother’s room when she was a child. Her mother had told her to sleep in her own bed, but Lena refused and would sneak back into her mother’s room in the middle of the night, a habit that continued until she was ten. One day, her mother

Keira didn’t know what it was like for other women during pregnancy, but for her, it was just swollen, aching legs. "Seems like the news is pretty well-informed. Yep, you’d better get the red envelopes ready," Hayden's tone was surprisingly similar to Lena’s. "Dr. Lane wasn’t serious with you. Don’t take it to heart," Hayden reminded him. Ron laughed. "Why can’t I take it seriously? I’m sincere with her, and she’ll definitely see it. Who knows, she might even fall in love with me, and then my fake relationship might turn real." He sounded pretty confident. "I’m serious, not joking," Hayden and Keira both assumed he was just playing around, trying to tease them. On the other end of the call, Ron fell silent. "I’m serious too. Actually, I’ve liked Dr. Lane for a long time. I feel like this is a sign from fate, that the heavens are helping me because of my sincere feelings." Keira was speechless, glancing at Hayden. He raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious, or are you just j
Love's Redemption Chapter 952
When Lena opened the video call, Keira saw she was in a three-bedroom apartment. Keira was surprised. She hadn’t realized Lena had already moved into Ron’s place so quickly. Curiously, she asked, “Where are you?” “At my husband’s house,” she said without any shame at all. Seeing her carefree attitude, Keira could tell she had gotten what she wanted, but was still shocked. “Ron agreed, and you’re already living with him?” “Yeah, get the red envelopes ready. Make sure you load them up with a lot of cash,” Lena said, acting as if it were all part of the plan. Keira didn’t laugh with her. “Lena, it’s easy to get on the ship, but hard to get off. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” “Don’t worry, Mr. Shane and I have a contract. It’s a clear-cut transaction,” Lena said, speaking as if she were very clever. Keira wasn’t sure what Ron was thinking or how Lena had managed to convince him, but it seemed like they were both on the same page, and the deal was done. Since it was already d

"Sure!" Ron agreed without hesitation. Lena silently gave herself a thumbs-up. She had always said Ron was a good guy, and now she could tell he was genuinely pleasant. She sent him the address of a café, which was not far from where Ron worked. Before she had even prepared what she was going to say, Ron had already arrived. He immediately apologized, "Sorry for keeping you waiting." This man's charm and good nature instantly shot up. Lena felt more and more certain that asking him to help was the right decision. Lena wasn't unfamiliar with him, but she still couldn't help but focus on Ron's face. He wore frameless glasses, a casual suit jacket, and neat trousers. He wasn't the type to blind people with his good looks, but he was still very attractive. What stood out most was that he had a warm smile that made anyone around him feel happy. They said a smiling woman was lucky, and a smiling man brought good fortune as well. "Did you ask me here just to admire a handsome ma
Love's Redemption Chapter 950
Lena's scalp tingled, and she didn't dare look her mother in the eye. "Don't act like a quail. Lift your head and look at me when you speak," Briana, her mother, was very perceptive. She could read Lena's small gestures clearly. Lena still didn't lift her head. She just replied, "I don't know. Don't ask me." Briana walked over and grabbed her hand as she tried to pack up her things. "Stop fooling me." "Mom, this is a personal matter. It's between me and my uncle. If you ask me about his business, how would I know? What do you think I am to him? Does he tell me everything?" Lena said in frustration. Briana was taken aback by her harsh response. After a few moments of silence, she said, "I suppose that's true." Lena secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with Briana's persistent nature, she'd probably go find Aaron. If he revealed anything, she'd be in trouble again. She quickly tried to calm her mother down. "Mom, no matter how much you care about your brother,
