Gladys was very disheartened and she couldn’t stop wiping tears from her cheeks. “I tried to call you and tell you about it, but you hung up on my call every time.”

Noah lit the cigarette and kept his head lowered. He took a few drags before asking, “Am I right in saying that Gwynn gave you some sort of instructions for when she’s gone?”

The old servant didn’t dare to keep things hidden from him anymore. So, she stammered and told him everything.

By the end of it, she murmured, “Aside from the fifty million dollars, Ms. Gwynn also knitted six cashmere sweaters and two scarves for Lorian. She even asked Ms. Zoe to take Lorian in as her own son. Ms. Zoe agreed to it too.”

Fifty million dollars, six sweaters, and two scarves. On top of that, Gwynn was sending Lorian away. It’d seem that she didn’t count on surviving the cancer the moment she found out about it in Silvercrest back then!

Blinking slowly, he noticed that his cigarette had burned out without him knowing about it. He

    Noah cupped her cheeks. His hands were warm while her cheeks were cold. He said, “Don’t you think I care, Gwynn? Don’t you think I cared about the fact you were seeing Maddox behind my back?”At first, he was merely tricking her into thinking he was in love with her. However, he gradually developed real feelings for her. Now, ironically, she wouldn’t give him the chance to prove it!She was going to let herself die instead!Then, he pressed his cheeks against hers. Moments later, warm tears flowed down the part where their cheeks met each other’s.It was actually hard to tell who was shedding tears at that moment!Gladys, who was standing at the side, kept wiping tears off her cheeks. She couldn’t bring herself to be happy for her mistress. After all, she knew that Gwynn didn’t want this. Noah was dead to her mistress for a long time! A soft creak could be heard as the door swung open. A nurse stood there and said gingerly, “Dr. Lionel would like to have a word with you, Mr.

    “Oh, wait a minute! You’ve still got Gianna by your side. That was silly of me.”Gwynn smiled in a daze and continued, “You said you’ll be gone for a week, tops. However, you didn’t even come back after a whole month. I know you were with her! If you love her so much, then why don’t you make her your wife already? Why did you confess your love to me instead? Why would you say something about spending the rest of your life with me when I hate you so much?“It doesn’t make a difference, though. I can’t bear to be around you for a second, much less the rest of my life!“I hate that I can’t undo my past. I wish I had never met you!“Lorian was the one who was innocent in this whole mess! I feel sorry for him for having someone like you as his father.“It doesn’t matter. Very soon, your ties will be severed. You won’t mean anything to each other. I’ll give him away to Zoe and Mason soon enough. He’ll be their son and, boy, it’s going to be all the better for him, too.“He will finally

    Be that as it may, Noah stopped. Lying down next to her, he cuddled up to her skinny body. His voice was as husky as it could be as he spoke with a hint of humility, “Let’s start over, Gwynn. Okay? I won’t leave you and let anyone come between us again. I’ll love you and only you. I’ll give you everything you’ve ever wanted when you’re young.“Don’t leave me, Gwynn. That’s all I’m asking of you.”Gwynn was dazed by what she heard. Start over? That would have been downright hilarious if it wasn’t so bleak. How were they supposed to start over again?They had never even started a loving relationship in the first place!There were only lies and deception between them. She was the only one who was naive enough to fall in love with him when she was a young lady. Lying on the bed, her patient’s gown was pulled open, revealing her raw-boned body. She might’ve been sickly thin, but she still had a hint of gracefulness.She wanted to straighten up herself, but she lacked the energy t

    Noah gripped the cigarette and his hand froze midair. After a long time, he said with a tight voice, “His liver didn’t match Gwynn’s body? How could it be possible? Aren’t they born to the same parents? Why wouldn’t it match?”Kim didn’t have an answer for that. After all, the world was full of surprises. He didn’t press further. Instead, he merely stood quietly by the window and finished smoking his cigarette. Once he was done, he ordered Kim, “Arrange a compatibility test for my liver right now.”She was taken aback. “This is highly unlikely, Mr. Noah.”He ignored her and unbuttoned a couple of buttons before lowering his head to stare at his chest. He murmured, “I’m her husband. Fate brought us together for a reason. I believe my liver will be able to help her!”She thought her director had gone completely mad. “We need to believe in science, Mr. Noah.”“I’ve only fate to rely upon now, Kim.“Time is running short for Gwynn. We can’t waste precious time, trying to locate

    However, Noah didn’t want Gwynn to die. He needed her to stay by his side. She even mumbled about going back to her studies earlier that night. That was why he wanted to go to Silvercrest. Once she was recovered, he could send her to college and she could study anything she wanted. All that mattered to him was that she was happy.…The sky was brightening up when Noah returned to Lockwood Hospital. Gwynn was half asleep. Opening the ward’s door, he walked over to her side leisurely and sat down. Then, he gripped her hands. She was shocked by the touch of his hands. He murmured, “Relax, Gwynn. It’s me. I need you to listen to me. Keep living. I’ll give you the liver you need. I’ll even give you one of my kidneys if you need it. I’ll give you everything I have, Gwynn.“Do you remember the way you used to call me? “Can you call me that way again?”…Gwynn’s hands were cold and her bones were clearly visible beneath her thin strips of skin. Staring at him, she said, exasper

    Raising her head, Zoe said, “Have you asked Gwynn if she wants to stay here, Noah? You took away her freedom. What’s the difference between her and the old me? Please, Noah. Set her free. If she makes it out of this, let her look after Lorian and live out the rest of her life in peace.“Gwynn has suffered enough, Noah. I’ve never begged you for anything. Please, do this for me and let her go…”This was the second time they fought over Gwynn. Noah loved Zoe a lot. Saying something that would hurt her was the last thing he wanted to do. However, he wasn’t about to give up on his wife, either. In the end, he hung up the phone and pulled the lever, bringing the helicopter into the air. Its blades chopped the air and took to the blue sky. Zoe’s silhouette grew smaller by the second. She kept yelling after him. “Have you forgotten about it, Noah? Ever since you came out of jail, you fought with Mason multiple times because you couldn’t stand the way he treated me in our marriage. W

    All of a sudden, she went mad. There was no more naivety and innocence in her eyes. All that was left was resentment. “I’ve got no more to give to you now, Noah! Liam can’t make a living in Brookesville because you’ve ruined his reputation. You kept saying that I was punishing you. The fact is that I keep giving to you instead!“Now, you’ve got Lorian and me! Our lives are in your hands!“Is that enough for you? Huh?!“Why do you want me to keep living?“What’s there to live for? I’ve lost faith in everything. Do you know how it feels to have your heart and love squandered? Do you know how hard it is to walk on eggshells all the time? You kept telling me that you’ve spent some hellish time in jail. Well, that’s how I feel as well!“Back in our first year in Silvercrest, I loved you so much that I revolved my life around you. Your smile was enough to light up my entire day! “If I saw you with a gloomy face, I’d feel heartache for you at first. Then, I’d fall to thinking if I di

    “I’m going to call for the doctor!” Noah rose immediately, but Gwynn grabbed his arm with her shriveled fingers, which were uncharacteristically strong now. Her eyeballs dilated. The next thing she knew, she could no longer see Noah clearly even though she was looking right at him. It was as if someone put a veil in front of her eyes. The cancerous cells must’ve spread through to her eyeballs. She was slowly losing her sight now. It was such an unexpected change, but she accepted it gracefully. A tear fell on the back of his hand. It was so cold that it chilled him to the bones. She flashed him the faintest smile he had ever seen and mouthed the words. “I don’t love you anymore, Noah.“It’s too much torment trying to love you and I’ve waited for you to love me back for far too long…”Her mind traveled back to when they first met each other in Brookesville three years ago.She was merely twenty-one years old back then. Liam had done too good a job at protecting her from the

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
