Chapter 2241

Author: Anastasia Marie
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..."

    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

    "I'm willing to take the risk because the baby is a new life. Since the baby has chosen me to be its mother, I'll do everything in my power for the baby. But you take such a huge risk to draw and store your blood even though the chances of me actually needing that blood are very slim. Taking such a huge risk when the blood will most likely be unnecessary is not worth it," Clara explained."So you think it's unnecessary? But... I want to be as prepared as possible. Even if it's a small chance, the chance still exists, right?" Wilson retorted. "No matter what you say, I'll continue to draw and store my blood until you give birth. If you don't need the blood, then it can go to other people who need it. It won't go to waste."Clara didn't know what else she could say to persuade Wilson. Once a man like him had made up his mind, it’s difficult to persuade him otherwise.After finishing their meal, Wilson went back to the hospital with Clara to collect her report. Everything was fine, so

    Wilson turned around and returned to the hospital. He told the doctor in charge of his case, "I've told my wife that I'm storing blood at the hospital. However, I'd prefer her not to be aware of other details. I trust that the hospital can maintain this confidentiality for me."The doctor nodded and replied, "Of course. The hospital will not reveal anything."Satisfied with the doctor's assurance, Wilson left the hospital once again. Upon arriving at the company, he immediately noticed Queenie Yale standing at the front desk, seemingly wanting to go in.Queenie's face brightened when she saw Wilson. She quickly walked up to him and said, "Mr. Birch, it's a pleasure to see you. Do you remember me? We met at the White family's banquet the other day. I'm Clara's friend, I helped Clara a lot when she's... inside."Wilson looked at her coldly and asked, "How can I help you?""Well..." Queenie pretended to be hesitant. "It's about Clara. I... I would like to speak with you privately, if

    "Clara eventually developed a high fever. At first, she refused to take any medication, fearing it would harm the baby in her womb. She endured the fever, but it worsened to the point where her life was at risk. She had no choice but to take the medicine to save both herself and her child," Queenie continued, "She clearly loves the father of that child very much. Mr. Birch, I'm telling you this with good intentions. I hope you can take good care of Clara. She's already suffered so much. Although she once loved the father of her firstborn deeply, she's with you now..."Her voice trailed off abruptly, her eyes fixated on Wilson. His face was filled with pain. The agony on his face was intense, profound, as if he were trapped in an endless abyss, as if he were already in hell.Queenie was startled by the anguish she saw on Wilson's face. She had never witnessed a man in such excruciating pain.Clara was the cause of that pain!This only fueled Queenie's jealousy further. Why was Clara

    And when she did, Harvey Powell would be nothing to her!Just then, the office door abruptly opened, and Wilson's secretary said, "Mr. Birch, your wife..."She froze mid-sentence. Following behind her was Clara. When Clara saw what was happening in the office, her eyes widened in shock, astonishment evident on her face.Queenie... and Wilson?! What are they doing...The sound of the door opening snapped Wilson back to reality. His gaze met Clara's shocked eyes. He was taken aback and instinctively tried to get up, but as he moved, he realized that Queenie was almost clinging onto him.He frowned and forcefully pushed Queenie away without any hesitation. Then, as if afraid that Clara would misunderstand, he quickly approached her and said, "Clara, it's not what you think. I... There's nothing going on between us. I just..."As the person in charge of a large corporation, he could remain fearless even when facing influential figures, but now, in front of the delicate woman carryi

    Fear welled up within her. She felt as if Wilson had seen through all her intentions."Mr. Birch, I... I just..." Queenie stammered, attempting to explain, but Wilson ignored her completely and dashed out of the office.The secretary standing nearby looked at Queenie with disdainful eyes. She had seen many women like Queenie before. However, in her boss' eyes, the only woman who mattered was Mrs. Birch!Clara was currently standing outside the company, waiting for a taxi. After what she witnessed in Wilson's office, she couldn't help but feel like an idiot for coming here.If she had simply called him, she wouldn't have witnessed that.The suffocating sensation still lingered in her chest, as if trying to confirm something. But... it was something she didn't want to confirm!A taxi pulled up in front of her, and just as she was about to get in, someone grabbed the door. "Clara, wait, listen to me, it's really not what you think.""But I’m not thinking anything," Clara said. "I

    “……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

    Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

    "Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

    Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

    "Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

    Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

    But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

    Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

    "Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
