The surgery took a long time, almost sixteen hours. There were some hiccups, but it was ultimately successful. The only thing was, Mason didn’t wake up. He was still lying on the operating table quietly. He didn’t know that the surgery went well for Yanni and that she was sent out of the operating room. He didn’t even know what would happen to him tomorrow. All he could do was lie down wordlessly as the universe meted out its sentence to him unfeelingly. Cecil took off his mask and read the numbers shown on the monitor. It was a frightening sight because it showed that Mason’s vital signs were dropping significantly. He might die at any second. Now, Cecil was a doctor who had seen a lot of deaths in his lifetime. He had grown used to it, but he simply couldn’t accept it when it came to Mason. Leaning close to him, he murmured, “Zoe’s waiting for you! Are you just going to leave her like this?”Mason didn’t respond to him. He simply lay there quietly, his face was as white as

Perhaps the emergency at his branch company in Hucksburgh was a really complicated affair. That didn’t track, though. Mason loved Yanni very much. It was impossible that he’d ignore her texts about their little girl just because things weren’t good at his company.She thought about giving him a call, but, with the way things were between them now, she didn’t dare to do it.Perhaps she should wait, she thought!Mason could just respond to her texts or call her tomorrow itself. Better yet, he could just take a flight back to Brookesville.…Mason was lying on the bed quietly in the Intensive Care Unit. The medical team had extracted nearly half of his bone marrow as well as one-third of his blood from his body, giving it all to his little girl. He sacrificed himself to save Yanni.The fact was that the cross he had gotten from the Beacon of Hope Church didn’t do anything. What made it work was his sacrifice. Back then, he kneeled for four hours before the altar and asked

It was the middle of the night and Mason’s ward was brightly lit. Cecil ran through a full examination for him, but the results didn’t look good. It was true. Mason had woken up, but his vital functions had all but stopped working. His limbs were unresponsive, especially his right hand. All of the nerves in there had basically died.Mason accepted his fate. He might have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His right hand was basically unusable and he’d have to learn to make do with his left hand. To put it bluntly, he was disabled!With that said, he didn’t regret his decision one bit. Lying on the bed, he said calmly, “Yanni’s my daughter, and I’m more than willing to do it! Zoe doesn’t have to know about this, though. After all, we’re no longer married. She has the right to pursue a better life with…”Cecil didn’t let him finish. Instead, he walked right out of the ward. Lisa fell on her knees by the bed and hammered it with her fists. She was crying at the top

Zoe was rooted to the spot. She had anticipated all sorts of reasons behind the radio silence, but this was the last thing she thought could’ve happened. He had treated her with such affection and thoughtfulness. She could swear that he genuinely wanted to reconcile with her. She had to admit that his actions were starting to change her mind. That was why it was such a shocker when Mason told her he was with Gabriela now!Tears started filling up in her eyes. Her rational side told her that she should take Yanni and leave right away. However, since when had people listened to their rational side when it came to love?So, Mason was claiming that he had changed his mind and chosen Gabriela instead.It was just a text message. It was going to take more than that to convince her that it was true. She needed something more concrete. She needed him to tell her personally. So, she called him. This particular phone call seemed unbearably long…All of a sudden, Mason picked up t

Zoe would move on and forget about him eventually!Clenching his fists, he tried to sit up again, but he simply couldn’t muster any strength. All he could do was lie on the bed.Mason breathed heavily as tears began to well up in his eyes. I’m sorry, Zoe. Forgive me!…Zoe didn’t go back to the Kirk Manor to pack her stuff. She was occupied with taking care of Yanni. From time to time, she had to take her little girl to the hospital for routine checkups too. In fact, she passed by Mason’s ward regularly. What she didn’t know was that he was lying on the bed quietly, unable to move nor take care of himself, while she wallowed in resentment. Time flew by. Yanni was getting better gradually, but she missed her father a lot. She asked about him all the time. “Why don’t I see Dad anymore?”So, Zoe would make the phone calls for her daughter, but she’d step away each time just so she wouldn't have to hear his voice. That’d make it slightly more bearable. She intended to forget t

Was Mason at home?Zoe’s eyes were fixed on both of his cars while she was getting out of hers. Layla saw her and came over and said passionately, “You’re back, Ms. Zoe!”Smiling lightly, she said, “I’m no longer the mistress of the house!” Then, she asked, “Is Mason home?”Layla stuttered at what she said.Paying her no mind, Zoe strolled right into the manor. She was making her way upstairs when she saw someone in the living room. She almost couldn’t believe it.It was Gabriela.Her face immediately turned pale at the sight. Gabriela, however, wasn’t the least bit surprised to see her here. Her tone was serene but authoritative as if she was the mistress of the manor now. “We’ve packed up all of your stuff as well as your daughter’s. You’ll find them in the private lounge. Here, I’ll show you the way! “Be careful not to make too much noise. Mason’s been working on a big project for the past few days. He lost sleep over it for several nights on end and he’s catching a nap

Mason said nonchalantly, “I need her to hate me!” He fixed his gaze on Gabriela. “Look at the sorry state I’m in. Am I supposed to let her hang onto her false hope and think about me all the time? Cutting her off now is the more merciful route. It’s the best outcome for everyone!”Sneering, she retorted, “Best outcome for everyone? Do you even know what went on in her mind? She loves you for the kind, loving way you’ve treated her for the past few months. All of a sudden, she was told that you’ve been having sex with me for the past three years.“That’s going to make her have some wild speculations about everything. Have you ever thought that you might make a full recovery someday, Mason? What are you going to do if you want to win her back, but she had already given up on you for good? Did it occur to you that she might’ve ended up with another man by then?”He remained quiet briefly before responding to her with a blank face. “I’ll take my chances!” With that, he clumsily whee

The way he was now, what could he possibly do even if he was to chase after Zoe at the airport? Was he supposed to come clean and tell her that he had sacrificed his physical abilities for Yanni’s sake? Was he supposed to say that he actually never slept with Gabriela, and proceed to bind her to him for the rest of his sorry life?He couldn’t possibly do that…Now that Zoe was pregnant, it meant there was one more thing that’d remind her of him. She would become a loving mother to their next baby and Yanni stood to gain another family member. Everything was fine and well, considering.So, what excuse did he have to feel devastated because he couldn’t be with the lady he loved?Lying on the floor, he panted heavily. On the other side of the door, Ava was calming herself down and regaining her composure. Then, she swung open the door and stepped into the study, only to be met with this shocking sight. “Mason!”Dashing over, she gripped underneath his arms and pulled him up. It too

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
