Even though she preferred to avoid conflicts, she had to take an aggressive stance this time or Sandra would walk all over Clara!Sandra's eyes flickered uncertainly, but she still said, "Sure! I want to know the truth too!"Serenity stopped paying Sandra any heed. She turned to Clara and asked, "Clara, can you stand?""No problem," Clara forced a smile, then stood up unsteadily.Serenity wanted to help Clara, but Jackson said, "Let me do it." He held one of Clara's arms to support her, and the three of them walked out of the police station.Wilson's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that there was nothing going on between Jackson and Clara. Jackson was only helping Clara because she's Serenity's friend.However, it still upset Wilson.When Clara walked past Wilson, she didn't spare him a single glance. She completely ignored him.Wilson's lips pursed into a straight line. His eyes remained on Clara's departing back.Sandra looked at Wilson unhappily. The way Wilson was looking
After she became Mrs. Birch, she would definitely make Clara and that bastard child pay! She would raise that boy to be a useless man so that Clara wouldn't be able to use him to turn the tables!Serenity and Jackson brought Clara to the hospital to have her injuries examined. Fortunately, Clara didn't suffer any major injuries.After sending Clara home, Serenity still had a hard time calming down. She couldn't stand Sandra's despicable behavior."Is Clara really going to hand Yanny over to Wilson Birch? Once Wilson Birch and Sandra Cooper get married, Sandra Cooper will be Yanny's stepmother!" Serenity said."Clara must have her reasons," Jackson said, "Alright, stop being mad. It's not good for a pregnant woman.""I just feel bad for Clara," Serenity said, "Can't Wilson Birch see that Sandra Cooper is a hypocrite?""Maybe he can, but he tolerates it. When the Birch family was down and out years ago, Wilson got sick and needed a bone marrow transplant. A suitable bone marrow ca
All night long, Wilson couldn't stop thinking about Clara's messy hair, bruised face, and frail body. The image lingered in his mind.What's wrong with him? Why did he keep thinking of Clara lately?In three months' time, she would hand Yanny over to him, and the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore!"Mr. Birch? What do you think of the plan? Mr. Birch?" His subordinate's voice violently interrupted his thoughts, snapping him back to his senses. In front of him was the conference room, and he was currently in a meeting with the senior management of the company."I'll go over the plan later. Let's adjourn the meeting for now," Wilson said.Adjourn the meeting?The executives exchanged glances. Weren't they supposed to finalize the details of the plan in this meeting?However, since the big boss had said so, they could only comply.The executives collected their documents and left the conference room.Wilson told his secretary, "Leave me. I want to be alo
Clara frowned. "What exactly do you want to do? I already gave you the agreement. You promised to leave me and Yanny alone for the next three months."Wilson remained silent. To be honest, he himself didn't know for what reason he came! He couldn't focus at work and could not stop thinking about the things that happened yesterday, so he came over on an impulse."What exactly happened yesterday? Did you really slap Sandra?" Wilson finally found an excuse for coming here.So he came to confront me about Sandra Cooper, thought Clara."Yes, I did. Do you want to slap me back?" she said coldly."You surrendered Yanny's custody willingly. Sandra is willing to treat the child as her own and raise him properly. What else do you want? Don't you think you crossed the line?" Wilson said unhappily."Crossed the line? I only regretted not slapping her more than once! A single slap isn't enough to pay her back for all the things she's done!" Her biggest grudge with Sandra was not because Sandr
Although her armor was full of cracks, she didn't want this man to look down on her!"What's wrong with you?" Wilson's voice came from above her head."I..." She wanted to say that she was fine, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the pain almost made her bite her tongue.Her body was trembling. Large beads of sweat dripped down from her forehead and slid down her cheeks. Her face was unbelievably pale. Even her lips looked kind of grayish."I'll take you to the hospital!" Wilson said. This was not the first time he had seen her in severe pain like this!As he said that, he grabbed her arm, but not as hard as the previous time. This time, he even grabbed it a little carefully, as if he was afraid that he would hurt her."No need. I don't need to go to the hospital," Clara said."How can you not go to the hospital when you're in so much pain? Why are you so stubborn?!" Wilson said angrily.After a while, Clara said with difficulty, "When did you become... such a sympathetic man
Wilson glared at Peter. His fingers that were holding onto Clara's arm suddenly felt really stiff.At this moment, he felt as if he was an outsider.He slowly loosened his grip. Clara told Wilson, "I'm going to lock the door and go to the hospital. Do you plan to stay here?"With a cold face, Wilson stepped outside. Clara locked the door.Peter supported Clara as they walked away. Staring at their backs, Wilson once again gnashed his teeth in anger.What's so good about that man? What exactly did Clara see in him? Also, how dare he pick up the woman that Wilson discarded?!Peter led Clara to his car and drove her to the hospital. Along the way, Clara suddenly said, "Stop. You don't have to take me to the hospital.""But you don't look so good. I think you should go to the hospital for an examination," Peter said."There's no need. Really." She shook her head and said, "Thanks for earlier.""The man earlier is... Yanny's father, right?" Peter asked. After all, Yanny looked a bi
Clara sighed and told Serenity, "I have stage 3 liver cancer. I have maybe half a year left to live. Although the doctor said that I might be able to prolong my life for two more years with chemotherapy, I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing chemotherapy. I want to spend the last half a year of my life doing what I want to do!"Serenity froze. She had a bad feeling when she saw the medicine, but she did not expect Clara's illness to be that serious!"But... What about surgery? Did the doctor say if that's a viable option?" Serenity asked anxiously."Unless it's to replace the liver, a surgery wouldn't help much. However, I have a special blood type, so it's almost impossible to find a matching liver. A liver transplant is basically out of the question," Clara said.Mrs. Wells said hesitantly, "About that... there might actually be someone with a matching liver! You once donated bone marrow to someone, right? The doctor said that the receiver is only a few years older than
She could imagine how much determination it took for Clara, who was bent on retaining custody in the first place, to make the decision to give it to Wilson Birch.If Clara wasn't sick, and if her illness wasn't that hard to cure, she would probably never have made that decision.A flash of surprise passed through Jackson's eyes. "What's her sickness?""Liver cancer," Serenity said, "It's already in the third stage. Only a liver transplant will do, but Clara's blood type is special, so it's hard to find a suitable donor."She sniffed and looked up at Jackson, "Jack, can you help me check something?"Noticing her red eyes and the tears welling up in them, Jackson said, "Sure, I'll do whatever you want, so don't cry, okay?" Her tears made his heart ache.He knew that she was only crying because she was worried about Clara, but... he would still feel jealous.He did not want to see her cry for someone else.Serenity sniffed and calmed herself down a bit before she said, "I just fou
