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
Therefore, after the injection, Serenity had to comfort Jackson. "It's alright, I'm fine. It's just an injection. It's not that painful."His eyes were slightly bloodshot. Not painful? How could it not be painful?! He already asked the doctor about it and was told that, the more injections she got, the more painful it would get."It's okay. Didn't you just tell me not to be sad? Now, you're the one who looks like you're about to cry!" Serenity said, "We have to go to class soon."She gently patted Jackson on the shoulder and rubbed his head.The nurse who was still in the injection room looked at the scene in front of her with a shocked expression. That's... Jackson Valor? The Jackson Valor who was notorious in Solaria for being ruthless and cold-blooded?But why did he look like... well, like a little puppy right now?! He looked like a puppy that wanted hugs and kisses from his master!And the master's... The nurse stole a glance at Serenity.That woman was probably the only pe
"Even if you do, it's okay," he said, his eyes staring at her fixedly, "As long as you don't leave me."His words made her feel like something was pressing down on her heart. She kept getting the feeling that there's a reason he always felt insecure.But... what was it? They've already gotten married, and things are going pretty well between them. They were slowly returning to that cozy feeling they once had between them.She cupped his face with both hands and said very seriously, "I absolutely won't leave you."Hearing that, his gaze deepened, and the corners of his lips slowly rose into a faint smile.The smile was so beautiful that she almost lost herself in it.The spectators were dumbstruck.No way! That woman's actually holding Jackson Valor's face! And Jackson Valor's actually... letting her do it!Not only that, Jackson Valor's smiling! No one had seen Jackson Valor smile like that before! It looked as if that woman was the only thing in Jackson Valor's eyes, as if all
