It hurt Chester so much that he forgot to breathe.He frowned at Skyler, but his voice was extremely warm when he promised, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt your son."Hearing his promise, Skyler slowly let go of his arm. Her emotions began stabilizing as well. Dennis held her in his arms. His gaze contained a strange glint, reflecting the complex emotions in his heart.Seeing that, Warren gripped his blanket with both hands. He could imagine just how many assassination attempts were done on Dennis and Skyler. Worse still, Warren was practically certain that his mother, Iris, was the one who sent the assassins.That was why Skyler reacted in such an extreme way when she saw Iris. Warren's heart stung horribly. His gaze was fixed on Dennis, and he asked in a deep voice, "Should we get a psychiatrist over?"Dennis shook his head and replied, "There's no need for that. Her emotions are stable now. The problem is that these episodes drain a lot of her energy. It'll take her half
Warren wasn't asking a question. He spoke with certainty.His dark brown eyes were fixed on Dennis.The silence in the room suddenly became so strong that they could hear each other's breathing. Over ten seconds passed before Dennis chuckled and asked, "When did you figure that out?"One question was all it took to weigh Warren's heart down.A biological brother had suddenly popped into Warren's world. He didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at that moment.Warren had always been wary of Dennis because his identity was a mystery and because he had feelings for Evelyn.Warren had come up with a lot of theories and possibilities, but he never imagined that Dennis was his half-brother from his father's side. Warren remained quiet for quite a few seconds before he spoke again."When I figured things out isn't important. What's important is your actions. You already knew the truth and have long suspected that Iris is the culprit who went after your mother, didn't you? Also
Warren chuckled and replied, "Actually, you're about to be disappointed. Evie wasn't even born when I met her. She's the wife I called dibs on when I was a kid. That's something you can never compete against."However proud he was when he said those words was however much he regretted it later. When he saw the strange look Evelyn gave him, he got so angry with himself that he wanted to bite his tongue off.Evelyn stared in confusion and asked, "Isn't that Clara? Or, to be more specific, isn't the bride the lost child of the Sullivan family? How is that me?"Knowing that Evelyn was a little suspicious, Warren quickly diverted her attention. He pinched her nose and chuckled before saying, "My silly wife, I was just lying to him. Why did you reveal the truth? Are the two of you on the same side now?"Evelyn didn't think much of that. She simply shifted her gaze to Warren and asked, "So, what do we do now? Should we tell Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Potter about this discovery?"Dennis was the
Dennis heard Chester's request, but he didn't even think about it before he turned it down."I won't allow it. Don't you think that would be inappropriate? You're married with kids. Doing that would be equivalent to treating my mother as your mistress and a homewrecker. That's the very reason she was hurt all those years ago and why she got sick in the first place."I'd rather let her be this way forever than allow you to take care of her."Chester was firm when he looked at Dennis and said, "My marriage to Iris ended ages ago. We've been living separately for over 20 years and have already met the legal requirements to get a divorce. The only problem is that she saved my mother's life in the past."That's why the divorce hasn't been requested until now."Chester shifted his gaze to Evelyn and asked, "Evie, I want to divorce Iris. Please represent me in court and help me with it."Evelyn looked a little troubled. She said, "Mr. Larkin, winning this case won't be difficult. After
After that, Iris put on a face mask and took the nurse's equipment before leaving. She secretly opened the door to Skyler's ward. When she saw how healthy and beautiful Skyler looked, Iris became insane with jealousy.She couldn't accept the fact that the fire from all those years ago failed to kill Skyler. She also couldn't stand the fact that Skyler remained beautiful even after getting surgery.Skyler might have lost her memories and her face. Still, Chester loved her from the bottom of his heart. All of that filled Iris with jealousy.She slowly made her way to Skyler's bedside and took a scalpel out of her pocket. She thought that all it took was a swing of her knife, and Skyler would never be with Chester again. Iris gritted her teeth and then stabbed Skyler's stomach twice.Crimson-red blood instantly flowed out of Skyler's body.Iris was so frightened that she stumbled back a few steps. Her gaze was filled with both fear and joy.She couldn't help cursing aloud, "Bitch! S
Dennis shouted toward the door right away, "Doctor! Come save her!"The doctor hurried over upon hearing that. He pushed Skyler into the surgery room immediately after.Iris suddenly laughed evilly while sitting on the floor. She said, "You bitch! You're lucky I allowed you to live for another 20 years."Chester was completely stunned when he saw how injured Skyler was. His heart seemed to have stopped beating at that very moment.The pain was so intense that he couldn't help tearing up. Soon, his tears rolled down his cheeks despite his best efforts.He had never been that terrified before. Even when Warren was injured, he was able to stay calm and handle the situation. Yet, he was losing his mind now that Skyler was hurt.It was so intense that he felt as though he had lost the most important person in his life. He didn't know why he felt that way and wondered what had happened between him and Skyler in the past.Just as he was on the verge of breaking down, he heard Iris' lau
Evelyn grinned and replied, "You have to be strong. Mrs. Potter will be counting on you to take care of her.""I know."Half an hour later, the door to the surgery room opened.The doctor exited and had a grim expression. He said, "The patient's liver is badly damaged. She needs a transplant right away. Unfortunately, we called every other hospital but couldn't find a match for her. Family members need to get tested right away."Hearing that, Dennis couldn't help clenching his fists. His voice trembled when he said, "Okay, I'll get tested right away."Chester also spoke up, "I'll go tested as well. I'll also ask others to drop by."He fished out his phone and dialed a series of numbers immediately after. Soon enough, several people showed up to get tested for their compatibility. A few hours passed before the test results were out.Dennis immediately ran over and asked, "How is it? Did you find a match?"The doctor looked grim when he said, "Only the shape of your liver is a ma
Hearing those words, Dennis, who had been stressed, finally relaxed. He was eager to ask, "Who's the match?""It's Mr. Warren Larkin. This is practically a miracle. His liver is an extremely close match to your mother's, and they have the same blood type. You don't need to worry anymore. The surgery will definitely go smoothly."Dennis frowned deeply and asked, "But the guy was just burned and hasn't recovered yet. Can he handle the surgery?"The doctor tapped on Dennis' shoulder and replied, "Don't worry. It's not a problem at all. Actually, Mr. Warren asked me to send you a message. He said that if he could save your mother, then the pain he would endure doesn't mean anything."I'll prep for the surgery right away. You guys should wait outside."Soon, Warren was secretly taken to the surgery room.They were worried that their secret would be exposed, so Warren used a fake name to register for the surgery. He even had to have his head bandaged for it.Only the attending physici
