"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
Of course, that was if he didn't even have an ounce of affection for Clara anymore."Then I'll personally drag him to the operating table by force!" Serenity clenched her teeth and said with a ferocious look on her face.That surprised Jackson."What's wrong?" she asked."I thought you're the kind who would stick to the law no matter what. I thought you would never do something like that for a million years," he said.Embarrassment flashed across her face. Oh god, she'd forgotten that she's a lawyer!"Maybe it's because... I really think Wilson Birch owes Clara way too much. If Clara leaves the world just like this, then the world is too unfair!" She paused for a bit before saying a little hesitantly, "If it really comes to that... will you help me?"She seemed really conflicted. After all, that kind of action went against everything that she believed in and stood for. But, on the other hand, she was unwilling to see Clara die and unwilling to see Yanny lose his mother!Jackson
Serenity thus went to the hospital with Clara.Clara didn't look too good. While waiting for their turn, Serenity said, "Clara, I actually think your mother's idea of contacting your bone marrow recipient to ask them to be your liver donor isn't a bad idea."Clara gave Serenity a forced smile. "Why would you agree with her?""It's the most feasible solution," Serenity said.Clara sighed. "Not anymore. My mom already called the hospital and told the hospital about my situation without my knowledge. The hospital called back some days ago and told her that they've contacted the recipient, but the recipient refused."Serenity was taken aback. "No way!""Why do you look so surprised?" Clara seemed unperturbed. "The recipient is just a stranger. They have no obligation to do something so risky for me."Serenity pursed her lips. After a moment, she said, "What if the recipient is Wilson Birch?!"Clara froze and looked at Serenity in disbelief. She said, "Wilson? Serenity, what the hel
After Clara got her medicine at the hospital, Serenity took her to the mall. As they were on the way, Serenity told Clara she wanted to get Yanny some new toys and asked for her recommendations. "Yanny has a lot of toys. Peter just gave him some new toys not long ago," Clara said."A kid will never get enough of toys," Serenity said, smiling. "By the way, let's get some winter clothes for Yanny later. The weather is getting cold. It's going to be winter soon."Serenity and Clara went to the children's clothing section after Serenity had selected the toys. They were about to leave after paying and saw a familiar couple walking to the counter.Serenity was startled to see the two. What a coincidence! She never thought they would run into Wilson and Sandra at a place like this.Wilson and Sandra were equally surprised as well. They did not expect to meet Serenity and Clara here.Wilson frowned as he looked at what Clara was wearing. Clara seemed unwell. Her face looked pale, and sh
"Wilson, how blind can you be?! You don't know who's the one who's been kind to you!" Serenity raised her voice, unable to stand Wilson anymore! Serenity wanted to yell at Wilson and expose the truth behind the bone marrow donation. Clara was the bone marrow donor for Wilson's surgery, but there was still no substantial evidence to prove this. It was not the right time to say it yet, and saying it now would immediately alert Sandra.Startled, Wilson stared at Serenity and said, "Ms. Lewis, no… Mrs. Valor, I know you're Jackson's wife, but that doesn't mean you're in a position to tell me what to do!"Serenity did not flinch. "Wilson, one day, you'll realize how wrong you were!" she said, glaring at Wilson.Clara pulled Serenity's arm, fearing that Serenity would get hurt when confronting Wilson. Serenity was, after all, pregnant with triplets."Okay, Serenity. You don't need to get all worked up about this. It's not worth it," Clara said, looking at Wilson indifferently. The hint
"Is that so?" Jackson smiled gently, picking up Serenity to put her on his lap.Serenity gasped, hugging his neck to steady herself."And how much do you care about me?" Jackson held her close, staring at her with beautiful eyes that brimmed with gentle affection and love. Serenity could not resist drowning in his mesmerizing gaze. "Your birthday is coming. I... Uh, I'll prepare something," she revealed, a faint blush coloring her cheeks."Also, I've thought of a birthday gift. I hope you'll like it when you see it."Jackson's eyelashes fluttered. "I'm sure I'll love it, but—" he paused, hesitating slightly, "I don't want anyone else to celebrate my birthday. Can it be just the two of us?"Serenity was slightly startled. "Just the two of us?""Yeah. I don't want to see anyone else on my birthday," Jackson said in a low voice, dark emotions flashing across his eyes.Noticing the emotions in his eyes, Serenity could not resist asking, "Is there any reason?" Jackson buried his
Jackson stiffened as he leaned into her embrace and heard her promise. Her voice and embrace were strangely soothing, erasing all his anxiety at once.His Serenity… He needed her to feel alive. His life was whole because of her, and he was glad to have met her. Without her, he would have been living an empty life. He used to be very different before meeting her and lived his life void of emotion. His life was an empty shell; he was physically alive but dead inside. He had never felt the joy of life."Serenity, please don't let my dream shatter again," Jackson murmured."Our love is real. It won't be like a dream again," Serenity promised earnestly, "Jack, your dream won't shatter again. We'll have better days ahead. We'll write our story together."Jackson slowly looked up at Serenity. His gaze deepened, and he leaned down to kiss her lips. "Okay. None of this will ever be a dream." Jackson wondered. Would their future be the same as what he envisioned? He did not want his dream
Lisa was only awake for an hour or two a day and spent most of her time asleep. It would take some time before Lisa would recover and spend more time awake.Clara came a little earlier than Serenity and saw Lisa when she was awake in the ICU ward.Lisa reminded Clara of her younger self. Clara's eyes were slightly red. She thought Lisa shared a similar temperament to her back then. She had had a rough life, and she did not have much time left. She hoped Lisa could recover and live well, but it was a pity she could not help Lisa with anything at all.Clara and Serenity left together after visiting Lisa in the hospital."Clara, how are you feeling? Would you like to consult a specialist for a second opinion? I can help to get another doctor for you," Serenity asked with concern."I'm fine. My condition is stable now, and the doctor I'm seeing is an expert in the field," Clara said.Clara was indeed seeing a specialist doctor in liver cancer. After checks were made to verify the doc
