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
Clara went to the hotel where Wilson was staying. When she arrived, she inquired at the front desk, "May I know if Mr. Birch is at the hotel now?""Mr. Birch isn't around. He isn't back yet. If you want to meet him, you can contact him or wait here in the hotel lobby," the receptionist informed politely.Clara pursed her lips. She could not contact Wilson directly, so she had no choice but to wait. Clara had lost Wilson's contact information a long time ago. The only contact she had was the lawyer who had handled the custody lawsuit for Wilson.Clara sat in the lobby and waited patiently. Time passed quietly, and the sky eventually got dark. It was then Clara finally saw Wilson walking into the hotel with Sandra.Wilson saw Clara as soon as he entered the hotel. Strangely enough, he would always spot her in the crowd, let alone in the hotel lobby crowded with people. "What are you doing here?" Wilson asked, looking at Clara approaching him."I need to talk to you," Clara pleaded
"Clara, what are you doing?! Wilson, just ignore her!" Sandra said with displeasure, still in the elevator. Just then, the elevator doors slowly closed."Wilson!" Sandra shouted, wanting to press the button to stop the doors from closing so quickly.Wilson noticed that Clara was trembling and his eyes hooded. He suddenly told Sandra, "Wait for me up there. I'll be there in a minute.""What?!" Shocked, Sandra stopped and just watched the elevator door close before her. Her fingers were still in mid-air as the door closed.Sandra felt uneasy because of the last thing she had seen. She had seen how Wilson hesitated and looked at Clara with struggle in his eyes.Why was there struggle in his eyes? What was he hesitating about?! It had been more than four years since they broke up. Why did Clara's name hold so much weight in Wilson's heart?Sandra gritted her teeth in hatred. She wanted Clara to die sooner! She needed Clara dead to feel at ease!Still standing in front of the elevato
