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
After all, people from minor companies wouldn't have many opportunities to make contact with him.Serenity was surprised and amazed at first, but the more she heard, the more she felt that something wasn't right.That seemed... a bit too many. All those people happened to be attending this class with their pregnant wives? Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?It should be known that the antenatal course offered by the hospital had many different sessions held at different times so that the expectant mothers could choose a class that fit their schedule.Therefore, even if the wives of all these rich people in Solaria chose this hospital... they should have been spread out in different classes!"There are... so many," Serenity remarked."It's probably not a coincidence," Jackson smiled casually, as if he was not surprised by this situation."Not a coincidence?" Serenity seemed puzzled. Then, as if she realized something, her eyes widened and she said, "Could they be here because.
Unlike her mother, Clara was unperturbed. "Mom, even if I donated bone marrow to them, it doesn't mean they have to donate their liver to me. It's my choice to save a life back then, and now, they have the right to choose if they're willing to save me. We shouldn't emotionally blackmail them.""But... why must your life be so hard?!" Mrs. Wells wrapped her arms around Clara and wept.Clara comforted her mother, "Mom, stop thinking about unhappy things. Let's think about happy things instead! Life goes on regardless of whether we're happy or unhappy, so why not spend the next half a year being happy?"Mrs. Wells sniffed and nodded. "Okay... Let's be happy... It's not worth feeling sad over heartless people like that!"Clara gently wiped away the tears on her mother's face. She used to lament that the world was being unfair to her too, but not anymore. Her only regret now was that she couldn't spend more time with her mother and Yanny.Meanwhile, in a private room in a club, Sandra
"I've already replied that the recipient refused. Once that woman's dead, you'll be able to rest easy, right?" Yardley said.Yes, once Clara was dead, she would have nothing to worry about anymore, thought Sandra.That was the only piece of good news she had heard today... Clara Wells would finally be gone from this world... forever!It didn't take long for Jackson to obtain information about Clara's bone marrow donation."According to the record filed by the hospital, it was indeed Sandra Cooper who donated bone marrow to Wilson Birch. At the same time, there's also a record of Clara donating bone marrow, but the recipient column of Clara's bone marrow donation is blank.""Blank?" Serenity was surprised. "How can it be blank?""So that people wouldn't know who the recipient is, of course. Coincidentally, Sandra Cooper, Wilson Birch and Clara all have the same blood type. Also, Sandra Cooper and Clara donated bone marrow on the same day," Jackson continued.Serenity's eyes wide
“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o
Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me! The
"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi
Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every
"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p
Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi
But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re
Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'
"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
