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
Everyone was going to let Iris fend for herself.Iris told herself that she couldn't stay idle. Just then, she felt something being poured over her head.She got curious and tilted her head up. That was when she saw a woman holding a basin over her head and pouring something onto her. The graceful and protected Mrs. Larkin had never experienced that kind of treatment before.It prompted her to get up immediately and dash toward the woman. Through gritted teeth, she roared, "What did you pour over me?"The woman laughed aloud and replied, "Smell it, and you'll know."Iris sniffed at that moment. The pungent smell infiltrated her nose right away. Only then did she realize what that liquid was. She was so infuriated that she raised her hand to slap that woman.Unfortunately, someone stopped her when her hand was still in the air. A heavy knock came to her head immediately after.Someone had smashed a chair over her head, instantly making her dizzy. What followed was a series of bea
When Skyler woke up, the first thing she saw was Chester. He was seated on a chair by the bed, engrossed in his work. The furrow in his brows and the firm strokes of his pen brought strange images to Skyler's mind. She envisioned a woman resting her chin in her hands, smiling warmly at a man whose expression mirrored Chester's. His handwriting was identical to Chester's too. After some time, the man glanced up, his deep eyes softening as he looked at the woman. He gently tapped her nose with his large hand and smiled as he said, "Come here." The woman stood up excitedly from her chair and threw herself into Chester's arms. Her slender, fair fingers caressed the black mole on his Adam's apple, and in a sweet voice, she said, "Chester, let's have a baby." Chester kissed her eyelids gently, his voice low and resonant. "How many do you want? I'll make it happen tonight." With that, he kissed her eager lips. Recalling this, Skyler's cheeks burned. Why did she have this memory? Th
Chester's words felt like a needle piercing deep into Skyler's heart. If Dennis was truly his child, it meant they had indeed done something unforgivable behind Iris' back. She immediately withdrew her hand and shook her head vehemently. "Impossible! He can't be your son!" Seeing her intense reaction, Chester quickly tried to soothe her. "Calm down. I was just guessing. I'm investigating this matter and will definitely give an explanation for both you and Dennis." As Skyler struggled to control her emotions, Chester called for the doctor, who administered a sedative. Watching her fall asleep with tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, Chester felt a sharp pain in his chest. How much suffering had she endured to end up like this? He gently wiped away her tears. Just then, his phone rang. He stepped out of the ward and answered it. A man's voice came through the line. "Chester, the results from the sample you sent are back." Chester's heart pounded as he held his
