"Have you considered that, without Renee, even if Terry White begged the boy on his knees, the boy wouldn't have saved Lisa? And if something happens to you, who can I beg for help? If begging on my knees could save your life, I wouldn't hesitate to get on my knees and beg as many times as it takes. But... there are no guarantees that you will be safe, and I don't want to bet on such low odds."Wilson's voice trembled with tears. He had never spoken in this manner to anyone before, except for her.Only her.Clara remained motionless, paying no heed to what Wilson was saying.Suddenly, Wilson dropped to his knees in front of Clara. The onlookers gasped."Clara, Terry begged that boy on his knees to save Lisa, so I'll... I'll beg you on my knees too. Please, think of your own safety! Please!" he begged with utmost humility.Clara finally opened her eyes to look at Wilson. "I'm a human being. If I can't even decide what to do with my own body and have to give up that control to you,
"Very well, if that's what you want." He turned to the medical staff beside him and said, "Today's surgery is canceled. You may leave."Upon hearing that, the doctors and nurses quickly exited the operating room.Clara looked at Wilson blankly, unable to comprehend the situation. "What's the meaning of this?""Like you said, it's your body, and I have no right to decide for you. I thought I could make the decision for you because no one in the world cares for you and loves you more than I do, but in reality... no one in the world has hurt you more than I do," Wilson murmured, a bitter smile on his face. "I'm sorry to have hurt you once more."He took a few steps back while looking at her. "Clara, I don't want you to hate me, and I don't want to destroy any hope of you falling in love with me again... I know that after what I’ve done today, you probably... hate me to the core now, but I still hope you can... forgive me..."With that, he turned and left the operating room. His once
"Wilson, after all these years, how can you still be so stupid?!" Realizing his actions today were unnecessary, Wilson cursed himself for being an idiot. After a long pause, he started the car and drove aimlessly through every street in Solaria until nightfall. Surrounded by darkness, the round disc of the moon illuminating the sky, Wilson pulled over only to realize that he had driven to Clara's store once again.The store was closed, but the light peeking out the window indicated that the people inside were still awake.Wilson got out of the car in silence. Instead of going to the store, he leaned against the car and stood there, just like a statue.As Clara was getting ready for bed, she drew the curtains and was startled to spot Wilson standing outside. Although startled, she closed the curtains and paid no attention to the man outside the window.‘It would be better for her and Wilson to stop seeing each other!’ Clara thought.Clara turned around and grabbed the medicatio
"AHH!" Clara grunted and woke up with a jerk. She snapped her eyes open and sat up to realize it was just a nightmare!In her dream, she relived the memory of when Wilson had forcefully dragged her to the operation room earlier in the day. But in the dream, Wilson had not stopped the operation and insisted that it go on. Watching the needle prick her in fear, she had tried to struggle, but she could not move nor escape.Clara was panting heavily, relieved that it was all just a dream. She looked at her sleeping son beside her and saw Yannick sleeping soundly. Fortunately, her nightmare had not woken him up. Clara got up and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, but as she looked out the window, she was surprised to see Wilson outside. Wilson was leaning against the car, still in the same position she had seen him in a few hours ago.Clara tightened her grip on the glass and finally made up her mind. Then, she put the glass down and went to the door.Wilson jerked his head
Wilson was the man she had loved as well as the man she had hated. Her love and hatred for Wilson had become such complicated emotions that she did not know how to deal with him."Wilson, enough is enough. That's it between us. So, just let me go, please?" Clara said weakly. Turning around, she went back into the house and closed the door behind her. Wilson stood alone outside the house, looking alive but dead inside, and he felt just like an empty shell.-Lisa quickly recovered after regaining consciousness. The next day, she could get out of bed and walk around slowly, and by the fifth day, she seemed to be normal again. Lisa could not breastfeed her baby due to her health and constant medication, which she regretted. But at the very least, she and the baby were still alive.Lisa was in the ward, holding her daughter with a smile. Although the baby was born prematurely and looked funny, Lisa found the baby beautiful, especially those eyes. Lisa thought her daughter's eyes
During the weekend, Serenity visited Lisa along with her triplets plus Fred and Cynthia.Lisa was delighted to see the five children with her best friend and teased, "You have so many kids with you. Those who don't know you might think you're running a kindergarten."Serenity glanced at the row of kids standing behind her and laughed. They did look like a group of kids in the kindergarten."Oh, Serenity! You're here!" Clara came to greet Serenity."Hey, Clara! Hm? Where's Yanny?" Serenity wondered as she did not see Yanny."He's up on the second floor watching Renne. He'll be down soon," Clara said. Sure enough, Yannick appeared shortly and came downstairs.Jacqueline was delighted to see Yannick and ran toward him as soon as he came downstairs. She gave Yannick a big hug and greeted him cheerfully, "Yanny!"Yannick naturally picked Jacqueline up without effort. Although only nine years old, he was now stronger after working out for some time. He did not feel tired picking up Ja
Fred knew yesterday that he would see Yannick here. When going to bed at night, Jackie had talked about Yannick all night. Fred felt uncomfortable over Jackie's excitement in meeting Yannick. She even took out her beautiful dress, asked Fred if it looked good on her, and wondered if Yannick would like her in the dress.Fred did not want Jackie to care about Yannick that much. He wanted Jackie to care about him alone!Putting Jacqueline down, Yannick came over to greet Serenity and the other kids. Although Fred turned his head away and did not respond to Yannick's greeting, Yannick did not mind and smiled. He told Lisa, "Aunt Lisa, why don't I take them to meet baby Renee?""Sure," Lisa agreed. She did not have to worry because the nannies and maids were looking after her baby.Lisa watched as Yannick led the kids up the stairs, amused to see the big group of kids. "When Clara's baby is born, the group of kids will grow bigger. It's going to be fun having eight kids around at once!"
Micah frowned, thinking about the baby. Mom said Aunt Lisa's baby was beautiful, but he did not think so, no matter how he looked at her.Micah's gaze rose and turned to his sister. Well, Jackie was much prettier.Jacqueline stared at the baby with curiosity. She carefully touched Renee's face and wondered how such a tiny thing was just the size of her larger dolls.Fred paid no attention to the baby and focused on Jacqueline."So adorable!" Cynthia cooed as she looked at the baby. The baby was so soft and cute. Her eyes sparkled, and a smile lit up her face. Cynthia was unrelated to the White family, but Caden had dragged her along for the visit here. Aunt Serene wanted to bring Caden over, but Caden refused unless she came along.As if sensing the crowd's curious stares, the baby opened her eyes and began to cry. The nanny hurriedly picked up the baby and coaxed her. The baby stopped crying after a while, and her eyes moved, as if she was looking at her surroundings. Cynthia
