Terry thought he was already being vigilant enough, but apparently, there were still loopholes that could be exploited, and these loopholes ended up jeopardizing Lisa's life!Lisa slowly consumed the blood.They initially thought that Lisa would need a long time to consume all the blood, but surprisingly, it was done quite swiftly. Towards the end, even in her unconscious state, Lisa seemed instinctively drawn to the blood and actively swallowed it.After Lisa finished drinking the blood, Terry gently wiped her mouth, looking at her with anticipation.Serenity and Clara held their breath, fearing that the blood would be ineffective.Although the boy was their last hope, they couldn't be certain if the blood would truly save Lisa until they saw her wake up.Fortunately, after approximately 10 minutes, Lisa's eyelashes twitched slightly, and then, under everyone's watchful gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.Terry's face lit up with joy. "Lisa, you're awake? You're awake!"Lisa sti
He often couldn't help but feel jealous about that."Thank you, Jack!" Serenity expressed her gratitude. She knew that he had risked everything for her when he confronted the Wood family."Serenity, there's no need for thanks between us," Jackson said softly.He would always do everything in his power to make her wish come true.Meanwhile, Wilson dropped Clara off at the entrance of her convenience store. Clara unbuckled her seatbelt but didn't immediately get out of the car. Instead, she turned to Wilson and said, "Thank you for helping me," she said, referring to when Wilson had backed Jackson with the power of the Birch family when Jackson confronted the Wood family earlier."Even without my help, that boy would still have saved Lisa in the end," Wilson said.The one that boy cared about was Renee White; everyone else was not important to him. He would probably still save Lisa when he saw Renee cry.Clara said, "Regardless, thank you."When she was about to exit the car, she
Terry's eyes wouldn't leave the person lying on the hospital bed, afraid to miss any sign of movement from her.He didn’t know how much time had passed, but as the sky outside began to brighten, Lisa finally opened her eyes once again.Terry's body tensed up, tears welling up in his eyes as he watched her open her eyes. Confused, Lisa murmured, "What's wrong? I... I was only taking a short nap... Why are you crying?" She attempted to lift her arm to wipe away his tears, but she was too weak to do so.Terry held her hand against his face and whispered, "Okay, I won't cry. I won't cry!" As he fought back his tears, he kissed her hand tenderly, from fingertips to palm."Where are Serenity and the others? Have they gone home?" Lisa asked weakly."Yes. Yesterday, they stayed at the hospital until late at night to keep you company. I told them to go home and come back in the morning. They'll probably come to visit you later. They've been coming to the hospital every day these past fe
He was dirty because of her. He must have tirelessly taken care of her while she was unconscious. The dirtier he was, the more it showed that he loved her!Terry thus removed his outer clothes and pants and lay down next to Lisa on the hospital bed.Lisa looked at the man beside her and gently said, "Hurry up and go to sleep. You've worked hard these past few days, my dear husband."Her voice acted as the perfect lullaby for him, and he slowly closed his eyes.Perhaps the exhaustion from these days had caught up with him. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep, even emitting light snores.Lisa, with teary eyes, gazed at the man beside her. With some effort, she moved closer and kissed his forehead gently."Terry, I'll never leave you. Never, " Lisa whispered.Later in the morning, when Serenity visited the hospital, she found Lisa awake and having porridge. Lisa had not consumed any solid food while she was unconscious, so she could only consume liquid food upo
"No idea. We tried to locate him, but despite searching extensively in Solaria, we couldn't find him. Eventually, we had to fabricate news about Renee being in critical condition to lure the boy out," Serenity explained.Lisa seemed somewhat disappointed. "That's unfortunate. I wanted to personally thank him. Who knows when I'll get the chance to see him again? What if we never meet again?""You will!" Serenity asserted confidently.Lisa looked at her friend in confusion. Lisa's parents also eagerly awaited Serenity's explanation.Serenity was now feeling a bit awkward. She glanced at Renee in Lisa's mother's arms and then at the peacefully sleeping Terry. With an awkward chuckle, she said, "Um... that little boy actually made a deal with Terry. He said that he'll marry Renee after she grows up. So, I believe... you'll likely see him again.""Umm..." Lisa was taken aback. "A deal? Is it a serious deal?""I believe... it's pretty serious," Serenity replied. Concerned that Lisa's f
Terry couldn't help blushing. He wouldn't mind it if they were alone, but Clara and Wilson were also present.Nevertheless, he couldn't bring himself to remove Lisa's hand."Stop fooling around. Your friends are still here," Terry reminded her.Reluctantly, Lisa withdrew her hand and turned to Clara and Wilson. "Serenity told me what happened while I was unconscious. I really appreciate your help.""How are you feeling right now? What did the doctor say?" Clara asked, expressing concern."The initial examination revealed no major issues. The additional tests and scans can only be done in a couple of days after my body recovers a bit," Lisa explained, her gaze shifting towards Clara's abdomen. "What about you, Clara? Have you had the consultation yet?""The consultation is scheduled for tomorrow," Clara replied.Lisa thus refrained from saying anything further. After all, they would have to wait until tomorrow to learn more about Clara's condition.After chatting for a while, Cl
"Then Renee will be the one to blame you, scold you, or hit you when she grows up. After all, you essentially sold her out to save your wife!" Lisa assured him with a faint smile, "Don't worry, Terry, I don't blame you, I don't resent you, and I'm not gonna leave you! I understand that everything you did, you did for me!"He stared at her blankly. He had been feeling anxious and nervous ever since he made that deal with the young boy from the Wood family. He was scared of how Lisa would react when she found out.To his surprise, her reaction was...Lisa continued, "But... Renee might not be that happy about it. Who knows, in the future, she might think that you sold your own daughter! But if she blames you, scolds you, or hits you, I will stand by you! I won't let you take all the blame!"Terry felt a tingling sensation in his nose. This woman could always touch his heart in the most unexpected ways."Alright, it's a deal," he murmured softly.She smiled and gently held his face,
After leaving the hospital, Wilson asked, "Are you still determined to keep the baby?""Yes, I want to give it a shot. If I really can't do it, then I can only attribute it to my misfortune. It means I'm not destined to be the baby's mother," she replied."But have you considered the potential damage to your liver if it reaches that point? Who knows how severe the consequences could be?" he expressed concern."I'm prepared for it," Clara responded, gazing at her abdomen. "I'm willing to risk it all for this child!"However, Wilson couldn't let her take such a risk."Can't you take better care of yourself?" he pleaded."I will take care of myself, but I also know what I want," Clara insisted. "You heard what the doctor said. Yes, giving birth to the baby is very risky for the mother, it's not entirely impossible. At least for the next seven months, the risk isn't significant, and the odds of the baby surviving at seven months are quite high. It's possible with modern medicine."W
