Wilson had unknowingly hurt the person he wanted to protect the most. The realization was devastating. Ridiculous, even.Wilson stayed in his hotel room for two days, not knowing how to face Clara. What was he supposed to say? Sorry? Could he ever make up for everything he had done to her?Wilson had always regarded Clara as the daughter of his enemy, but she had now turned out to be his savior, the bone marrow donor who had saved his life. He had no idea how he could accept the sudden change. How Wilson wished he had investigated this earlier. If he had known Sandra was lying, would he have allowed all these things to happen?Clara was the daughter of his enemy and the bone marrow donor who had saved his life. If he had known that Clara was his savior, would he have let go of the hatred in his heart? Would he still have hurt her the same way he had? Would she have ended up hating him?Wilson's phone rang suddenly. Grabbing his phone, he answered the call."Mr. Birch, about the
The Cooper family was stunned by Wilson's words, their faces contorting in shock and fear. What Wilson had said made a shiver run down Sandra's spine. Wilson? What did he mean by that? Could it be?"Wilson… I-I don't understand. What do you mean? I-I didn't lie to you! I-I don't know!" Sandra managed an innocent look on her face, pretending that she knew nothing. She quickly gave Wilson a pitiful look, her eyes welling with tears. "You don't know?" Wilson chuckled, extremely disgusted by the way Sandra was acting. Grabbing his phone, he pressed the button and played the audio of the conversation between the doctor from SMDA and Sandra on the phone.The Cooper family was shocked to hear Sandra's voice in the audio clip, their faces turning extremely ugly.Sandra flushed in a panic, beads of sweat pouring down her face. This recording… Was this the evidence Serenity had been talking about the other day?! Knowing that Serenity must have given the recording to Wilson, Sandra's hatr
Wilson walked right up to Sandra, staring straight at her. "So, you were pregnant with Yardley's child this time. You knew that the baby was his, so you purposely set up Clara to get rid of the baby, didn't you?"Wilson sounded unusually calm, a great contrast to Sandra's desperation. His calmness was just an illusion, hiding the turbulent emotions underneath. The illusion would soon fade, and the surge of emotions would be very devastating.Sandra was stunned by Wilson's question, her mind blank. She wanted to deny it, but she could not say anything as the words remained stuck in her throat.Wilson's eyes were so cold. It was a sharp, searching look, and it felt like he could see through her and all the truth she hid."I-I..." Her lips trembled.Wilson questioned, clearly doubting her, "Do you want me to question the doctor who operated on you? How old was the fetus in your womb? Or do you want me to investigate how much you spent to bribe the doctor?"Sandra knew Wilson would
Sandra's greed had pushed him through hell. All the lies she had made, deceiving him. Wilson wanted Sandra to spend the rest of her life paying for her crimes!***Wilson left the ward, still heavy with emotions. When he learned the truth, it felt like he was suffocating. He hated Sandra for deceiving him. He hated her for hurting Clara. Sandra had set Clara up, harming her. And he hated himself for being such a fool.The Cooper family had manipulated Wilson with countless lies and talk, but Wilson was the one who had taken action and hurt Clara. It was Wilson who had kept hurting the woman who had saved his life.The moment he stepped into the ward was a flashback to the time he had forced Clara to apologize on her knees. He could almost hear the sound of her forehead hitting the ground. It echoed in his head, hurting him.Why had he been so cruel then? Did he do it for Sandra? Or was he… Was he trying to hide how much he loved her by hurting her?Wilson thought Clara had tricke
Wilson trembled as Yardley's voice trailed off in the distance. So what if Clara was the donor? Just an ordinary person?No! Clara was not just any ordinary person. She was the woman he loved deeply!The pain in his chest grew stronger and almost drowned him. Wilson could finally bring himself to admit his real feelings—he was still madly in love with Clara.Wilson had thought he could do without love. He thought he would forget about her after sending her to prison and getting his revenge. All he did was just fool himself.Wilson had always loved her. Otherwise, he would not have cared so much about her. He got jealous seeing her with another man. He got angry when he mistakenly thought she had tricked him.He protected Sandra at all times while being cruel to Clara. He was just running away from his feelings, not daring to admit that he had always loved the daughter of his enemy,Wilson clenched his fists so tight his fingernails cut his palm. He was bleeding, but he seemed to
There were more people on Wilson's side, but the two men guarding Clara's ward did not give in. They had been given strict orders not to let anyone bother Clara, and Wilson was on the list."Then we'll have no choice but to fight!" said the two men. A fight was about to break out when Clara opened the door to the ward from inside and came out.The two men saw Clara walking out and quickly explained the situation, "Ms. Wells, rest assured. Do you want to see Mr. Birch? If you don't, we'll definitely keep him out of the ward."The two guards had the power to stop him from barging in.Clara glanced up and saw the man trying to barge into her room. He looked different from the last time she had seen him. Although still dressed in a suit, Wilson had a scruffy beard, his hair slightly messy. Wilson seemed very different from his usually serious and stern look. He looked tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.Wilson greedily looked at the woman standing not far away. Clara wore a hospit
Clara frowned. She tried to pull her clothes back from Wilson's hand, but Wilson would not let go.Wilson was afraid of letting go. He did not know when he would see her again. One of the guards warned Wilson, "Mr. Birch, please let go. Otherwise, you'll only create more trouble for us." As he spoke, he grabbed Wilson's hand and tried to make him let go.Wilson did not seem to hear the guard. He looked straight at Clara, pleading. "I know you hate me. Yes. I deserve it, but I beg you. Will you please let me speak to you alone? There's so much I want to say to you!""But there's nothing left to say between us," Clara said again.Nothing left to say between them?! Wilson thought with a pained smile on his face, his hand still tugging at the hem of her clothes. The guard was trying to make Wilson let go of his hand, his fingers tightening painfully on his hands. Wilson resisted the pain. The guard pulled his hand hard, but he persisted.Wilson did not want to let go. He was scare
"I was just wishing that a friend of mine could live a healthy life, untroubled by any illness. Now that I just got a good omen, it must mean that my friend is doing well!""Your friend?" Wilson asked. "Which friend?""A friend that I've never met before," Clara smiled sweetly. "But perhaps I'll get a chance to meet him one day. I'll definitely introduce him to you when the time comes!""What kind of a friend is he if you've never met him before? A friend from the internet?""It's a secret!" she replied with a playful smile. "I'll tell you all about it one day!"Thinking back on this in the present, Wilson finally realized that the friend she had been talking about was him! She had saved his life! And although she never knew it was him, she still thought fondly of him and even wished for his well-being!Yet what had he done to her in return? He had ruined her whole life!If only he had asked her for more details about her friend at the time, then he would have been able to glean
