Martin, who's collar was still being gripped by Wilson, immediately recognized who Serenity was. Desperate to avoid conflicts with the Valor family, he continued to sling mud at Clara, trying to redirect the Valor family's anger towards her instead of himself. He knew that if he offended the Valor family too, then he's done for!However, Martin's hopes were shattered when Wilson said, "Clara is my wife. I will never have another wife in my life. Who are you to judge her? You'll pay for everything you said!" Wilson forcefully threw Martin to the ground and looked down on him.Martin shivered. He could hardly believe his ears.Clara Wells... was actually Wilson Birch's wife?! They're... actually married?!Wilson had even gone so far as to declare in front of all these people that he would never have another wife in his life!But Queenie had told him that Clara was just the owner of a tiny convenient store, living in a small room behind her store. How could she be Wilson Birch's wife
Now that Serenity had taken control over the situation, no one would dare speak of the incident to avoid offending the influential Valor family. There would be no gossip or news related to the incident online.Wilson asked his driver to drive Clara, her mother, and Yanny back to the convenience store, while he followed behind in his own car.After he watched them enter the store, Wilson remained parked nearby, his gaze fixed on the lights inside.In the past, he enjoyed being in this spot, watching the lights inside the store. It made him feel a sense of closeness to Clara. If he was lucky, he might even catch a glimpse of her taking out the trash.But now, he couldn't even stay in this spot anymore because he would scare her if he got too close. He had promised to keep his distance.He already felt immensely lucky because he got to see her and be in her presence tonight.Suddenly, the door of the convenience store opened, and Yanny ran outside.Yanny ran to Wilson’s car and gen
Someone he truly loved... "Daddy, do you love Mommy?""Yes, I love your mother very much," Wilson said."Then why did you hurt Mommy like that in the past?" Although Yanny was only nine, he was no longer the little boy he was back then.Wilson sighed and tousled his son's hair. "Because I was a fool. Deep down, I loved her, but I wouldn't admit it. I thought that by hurting her, I could deny my feelings for her, but that was a grave mistake!"Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Yanny, if you ever find someone you love, don't do what I did. Treasure that person. It's rare to find your true love in this world. Perhaps you'll only meet such a person once in a lifetime. If you miss that chance, you may live with regret and pain for the rest of your life." Like Wilson did now.Yanny listened to Wilson attentively. Right now, he had no idea how big of an impact this conversation would have on him in the future.After Yanny walked back into the convenience store, Wilson mustered a bi
Clara hinted quite strongly that Queenie should leave. Her attitude towards Queenie was distant and indifferent. Queenie was displeased, but considering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her anger. "Clara, back when we were in prison, I helped you out a lot. Now that you're married to Wilson Birch and have a good relationship with the Valor family, you can't forget about me! You know my situation. Can you put in a good word for my man with Wilson Birch? I know the Birch family has a new real estate project in Solaria. Harvey has connections here, so can you ask Wilson to give Harvey the project?"If Harvey could secure this project, it would be a great opportunity for profit.However, Clara responded coldly, "I don't involve myself in his business. If Harvey Powell wants the project, he can participate in the bidding."Queenie instantly said, "Surely you can easily secure the project for Harvey? If I help Harvey get the project, he'll surely agree to marry me. Clara, you ca
As she was about to exit the restroom cubicle, she heard approaching footsteps. She then overheard a conversation between two women."So the woman who's here for a prenatal check-up just now is the wife of Wilson Birch, the CEO of the Birch Group?" one of the women asked."Yup. Her clothes are so modest. If you didn't know, you wouldn't have been able to tell that she's Wilson Birch's wife," the other woman replied."Is their relationship strained? They’re both at the hospital, but they didn't come together. Why did they come to the hospital separately?""I don't think so. If their relationship were strained, would Wilson Birch come to the hospital every month to draw blood? He even told the hospital not to tell his wife about it so that she wouldn't worry.""He comes to draw blood once a month, right? I heard he has to keep doing it until his wife gives birth.""Isn't that too dangerous? Is he gonna be okay?""Supposedly, he already signed a disclaimer with the hospital..."Cl
It reminded her of the last time she had seen him at the convenience store. His complexion had been equally pale, with a touch of gray on his lips.Back then, she had attributed it to fatigue.But if he had also had his blood drawn at the hospital around that time...That was roughly a month ago, and the nurses in the restroom mentioned that he had his blood drawn monthly!"Do you really come here to draw blood every month?" Clara questioned.Wilson's expression changed slightly before he replied with a smile, "Why would you think that? I'm in good health. Why would I have to come here to draw blood every month?"She pursed her lips tightly, aware deep down that she knew the answer, but...Suddenly, Clara rushed past Wilson. She pushed open the room door and stepped inside.Within, a nurse was organizing a blood bag.Wilson tried to stop Clara, but couldn’t do so in time. Clara had already seen the blood bag with Wilson's name tag on it, indicating a volume of 400 milliliters.
However, Wilson was now drawing 400 milliliters of blood every month!"Don't you know how dangerous this is?!" She glared at him, feeling a surge of anger rising within her.But she couldn't understand why she was so angry.Was she angry because he prepared blood for her in secret? Or was she angry because he neglected his own well-being? Or perhaps it was some other reason..."So what?" he replied calmly, his gaze resting gently on her. "Clara, this is the only way I can help you. I know it’s hard for you to trust me now, but... I want this baby to be born safely more than anyone else in the world. I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong for you."He paused briefly before continuing, "It's just 400 milliliters at a time. Even if it's once a month, it's nothing. I promise you, I'll take care of myself and make sure my body is fully healthy."Because, besides his blood, his body also contained his liver... His liver was very important too.If her condition worsened, he could
She struggled to break free from his grip, but his fingers remained firmly wrapped around her arm. "This has nothing to do with the doctor. I insisted on doing this!" he claimed."Even if you insisted, the doctor should have considered an ordinary person's limit..." Clara argued, attempting to pry his fingers off her arm with her other hand.Wilson's body wavered slightly, almost losing his balance.Clara stopped, her expression filled with concern. "Are you alright? Do you feel unwell?" His current condition reminded her of the last time she saw him at the convenience store. He also looked really weak back then, as if he could collapse at any moment."I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm a little hungry, that's all," he smiled lightly.But that smile brought a wave of sadness to Clara's heart.In the end, Clara went with Wilson to a restaurant near the hospital. Even Clara herself didn't understand why she would do that. They ordered easily digestible meals and ate together."Yo
