Love's Redemption Chapter 944
Lena’s heart trembled slightly at Aaron’s words, but she pretended not to hear and busied herself with playing in the snow. Though she tried to conceal it, Aaron saw through her attempt. She was avoiding him, but he had no intention of letting her escape this time. Later, Lena received a call from her mother, Briana, just after finishing a surgery. “Mother dearest, what’s your command?” Lena answered cheerfully. “You’ve been staying with your uncle recently, haven’t you?” Briana asked. The question made Lena tense up. A bad feeling crept in. “Yes, why?” “You should know what your uncle has been up to lately, right?” Briana continued. Lena was confused, unable to follow. “Mrs. Lane, can you just say it directly? This suspense is making my blood pressure spike.” She had just stepped out of the operating theater and entered her break room. “Your uncle’s heart isn’t in the right place anymore,” Briana said with a heavy sigh. Lena froze for a moment. The phrasing was sharp

After hanging up the phone, Lena was restless for the rest of her shift. She’d never felt such an urge to return to Aaron’s residence, but today, she left work early and went straight there. However, the usually punctual Aaron was nowhere to be found. She called him. “Uncle, why aren’t you home?” “I’m at the old house,” he replied, which only made Lena more anxious. “Is Briana there too?” she asked. Aaron hummed in affirmation and then added, “If you have time, you should come over.” His words immediately reminded her of the time he had jokingly told her to be ready to perform emergency resuscitation. Given her grandparents’ age, they might not be able to handle this situation well. Being there in person to monitor things seemed like the best course of action. Lena rushed to the Ace family’s old home, where everyone was gathered: her grandparents, her parents, and even her father, Gabriel. Her parents sat on either side of her grandparents, likely to ensure nothing drasti
Love's Redemption Chapter 946
Lena was led by Aaron into the courtyard, where the old persimmon tree stood bare, save for a single stubborn leaf clinging on. Despite enduring heavy rains and countless cold winds, that lone leaf remained, defying nature—truly a resilient "leaf warrior." The chilly wind stirred, making the branches sway, and the air felt even colder. Lena’s heart pounded, and inexplicable sweat formed on her back despite the cold. A sense of nervousness and unease filled her. The hand Aaron had held felt warmer than her other hand. She clasped her hands together to feel that warmth. “Uncle, I’ve told you before, your actions will hurt Grandma and Grandpa.” Aaron didn’t respond. His deep, penetrating gaze fixed on her, burning with intensity. Lena avoided his eyes, instead focusing on the buttons of his coat. “You wanted to know the reason, didn’t you?” His melodious voice broke the silence above her. Her throat tightened, and her heartbeat quickened. “Uncle, no matter the reason, you sh
Love's Redemption Chapter 947
Had she misstepped somewhere, leading Aaron to misunderstand? The thought was absurd. If word got out, what would people think of her? They’d assume she was shameless, unworthy of respect. Even if Aaron publicly declared no blood ties to the Ace family, in everyone’s eyes, they were uncle and niece. A relationship between them would violate moral norms and societal expectations. Aaron had lost his mind to say such things. But she wouldn’t follow his madness. She needed to extinguish his thoughts, and the only way to do so was to start a relationship with someone else. But who could she choose? Nate? No, absolutely not. She couldn’t treat him like that—calling him when she needed him, only to leave him when she didn’t. For a moment, Lena was at a loss. She slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the roadside, rolling down all the car windows. The cold wind rushed in, chilling her to the bone, helping her regain clarity. Keira was working on a leaf carving when Lena ar
Love's Redemption Chapter 948
"How could you give Ron's number to her?" Keira scolded Hayden. "I'm telling you, Lena will actually go through with this idea." He chuckled, massaging Keira's legs as he replied, "Between Lena and Aaron, one’s an ostrich and the other’s a slow mule. Even though Aaron has made his move, he’s still treading cautiously, afraid of scaring her off, so he’s not making any bold moves yet." "If it hadn’t been for Nate, Aaron probably would’ve spent his entire life as a silent admirer. Now that he’s finally confessed, he needs another push to speed things up." Hayden's analysis was so well-constructed that Keira couldn’t argue. But she cared more about what Lena wanted. "What about Lena? Her rejection makes sense. To everyone else, Aaron is her uncle. If they got together, people would gossip and call them cursed by the heavens." Even though Keira often joked about her and Aaron, she understood the societal barriers and emotional burdens they would face. "Aaron has already started pa
Love's Redemption Chapter 949
Although carrying a baby for ten months was tough on her, he didn’t have it any easier. Amid the sound of Hayden showering, Keira called Lena. "Don’t act impulsively. Besides, Ron is a decent guy; don’t hurt him." "Rea, whose friend are you?" Lena protested indignantly. "I haven’t done anything yet, and you’re already afraid I’ll hurt him. Why don’t you worry about me falling for him instead?" Keira remembered what Hayden had said. "You know who you have feelings for, even if you won’t admit it. The rest of us can see it clearly. You won’t fall for Ron." "Don’t you know I’m heartless? If I say I don’t love, then I don’t love," Lena retorted without hesitation, never shy about ruining her own image. "Lena…" "Don’t try to convince me. I’ve made up my mind, unless Ron says no," Lena declared firmly. "And if he doesn’t agree?" Keira asked. She chuckled lightly. "There aren’t any three-legged toads in this world, but there’s no shortage of two-legged men. If he doesn’t agree
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,
Love's Redemption Chapter 951
"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

"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
