Chapter 2285

Author: Anastasia Marie
Wilson frowned. "She's not just some woman, she's the love of my life. Also, it was my fault she got kidnapped. I didn't take care of certain things properly, which gave certain people an opportunity to harm Clara, so it's only right for me to save her!"

Madam Birch responded angrily, "Wow, how righteous of you! You nearly lost your own life trying to save her! Did you consider how I would feel? Think about your own mother for a second. What would I do if something happened to you? I've already lost my husband; do you want me to lose my only son as well?"

A hint of guilt crossed Wilson's face as he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom."

"That woman has you under her spell. Even if you feel guilty for what you did to her in the past, you've donated your liver to her. Isn't that enough?" Madam Birch remarked.

Was it enough? Wilson smiled bitterly. Clara said it was enough, and now his mother was also saying it was enough, but... "It's far from enough, Mom. I love her, I love her so much that

    Madam Birch's words, though seemingly polite, carried a firm tone, leaving Clara at a loss for words. However, Wilson intervened, saying, "Mom, I appreciate your care, but... I actually hope Clara can visit me more often. It will make me really happy."Madam Birch glared at her son and said, "I'll go ask the doctor about your condition."After Madam Birch left the ward, Clara felt a sense of relief as the oppressive atmosphere lightened."Don't mind her," Wilson assured Clara.Clara smiled. "Your mother cares about you, that's all." Clara thought Madam Birch's attitude towards her wasn't that bad. At least, Madam Birch didn't try to openly embarrass her.Placing the food on the bedside table next to Wilson, Clara said, "You can try this ground fermented rice drink first. It's made from rice and has a thick, satisfying consistency, so it's quite filling.""Okay." Wilson accepted the drink from Clara with a smile.As he tasted it, a gentle sweetness filled his mouth, accompanied

    Clara felt her heart racing and her eyes welling up with tears as Wilson's finger pressed against her lips, sending a rush of heat through her. "I... I need to use the restroom!" she hastily said, but instead of going to the one in the ward, she quickly walked out of the room.She couldn't stay in the ward any longer, afraid that she might burst into tears in front of him. Since her imprisonment years ago, she had rarely cried. She had always told herself that tears were useless and that she must be strong.But lately, she had already shed tears several times because of Wilson.Clara rushed to the restroom at the end of the corridor, wanting to wash her face with cold water.Just then, a voice sounded behind her, "Miss Wells, can we talk?"Clara looked up and saw Madam Birch's reflection in the mirror above the sink.Clara turned to face Madam Birch, asking, "Of course. What do you want to talk about, Madam Birch?""Not here. Let's go to the empty examination room next door," Ma

    "But because he loves you so much, he'll ignore his own safety!" Madam Birch said. "He stored blood for you at the expense of his own health. Can you imagine the damage it does to his body? This time, fortunately, the blood he stored could be used to save himself, but I'm afraid once he recovers and gets discharged from the hospital, he'll disregard any advice and store blood for you again!"After finding out that her son was saved thanks to the blood he stored previously, Madam Birch naturally investigated why he did that. And after she found out the reason, she became even more determined to separate Clara from him. In her eyes, her son's love for Clara had reached an irrational level.Clara tensed up. "I... I don't want him to store blood for me either. I'll talk to him and ask him not to do it anymore.""He loves you way too much. Even if you tell him, he'll ignore you and continue to harm his body for that small possibility of the blood being useful to you," Madam Birch said.

    She gently pulled his hand away and said, "Alright, I really have to go now. Take good care and rest well.""I'll tell someone to take you home," he insisted."Your mother has already asked a driver to take me home. Don't worry," Clara reassured him.When she left the ward, the faint smile on her face disappeared.If Wilson hadn't stopped her today, she might have already expressed her desire to start over with him.Maybe some things were just not meant to be after all, she thought.Maybe the words she did not speak would never be spoken anymore.Should she blame herself for loving him too little or blame him for loving her too much?As Madam Birch said, Wilson would sacrifice his life for her, but she wouldn't do the same for him. She had too many attachments, and her obsession with love had faded away a long time ago.Perhaps it would be best for both of them to end things here.That way, he would not be so fixated on her anymore, and he could truly start anew.He wouldn't

    She couldn't give him the answer he wanted, no matter how much he desired it. He reached out, holding her slightly cold hand, and said apologetically, "I don't mean to pressure you. I'm just so eager. Like I've said before, I'll wait, no matter how long it takes. I'll wait until you're willing to be with me."She took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you an answer when you're discharged from the hospital, alright?" His eyes showed a hint of joy upon hearing this, and his voice became slightly excited. "Okay, I look forward to your answer that day.""Go to sleep then, or the doctor might delay your discharge again," she said. He playfully responded, "Looks like I'll have to make the doctor approve my discharge earlier." This time, he closed his eyes, missing the bitterness in Clara's eyes.Discharge... the sooner he was discharged, the shorter their happy days together would be. After Wilson fell asleep, Clara carefully withdrew her hand and left the ward.As soon as she s

    Such an unequal relationship would only become a burden for both of them in the end. It's better to sever ties completely right now. Clara visited the hospital day after day, cherishing each visit as they would probably become treasured memories in the future. The good memories between them were few and far between."Clara, the doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow," Wilson informed her one day as soon as she stepped into the ward.Clara was taken aback. Tomorrow? So fast?! The thought of their relationship coming to an end tomorrow brought a sharp pain to her heart."What's wrong? Why does your face look so pale?" Wilson asked."Oh... nothing," she forced a smile. "Time goes by so fast. You’re already getting discharged tomorrow.""Fast? I think it's so slow," Wilson said.Madam Birch, who was in the ward, told them, "You two should have a good talk with each other. I'll step out for a while."Before leaving, she gave Clara a meaningful look. Clara understood that sh

    Therefore, her refusal was a powerful blow to him, leaving him stunned. "What... do you mean?" He hoped he had misunderstood or misheard her.Clara calmly repeated, "Wilson, I don't want to start over with you. After the baby is born, I think... we should proceed with the divorce immediately. We don't have to wait for a year like we originally planned."His face grew pale, his lips trembling as he murmured, "You... don't want to?""Yes, I don't want to," she replied."But your actions lately clearly show that you have feelings for me!" he exclaimed. The little things she did, the way she looked at him, all indicated that she had feelings for him.But this was the answer she gave him!"I'm just grateful to you for saving me, Wilson. I stopped loving you when I went to prison years ago. Some things can't be fixed. Once the love is gone, it's gone. Do you understand?" she said calmly.Only she knew how much self-control it took for her to maintain her calm."Grateful?" He grabbed

    Wilson's face turned pale."The reason I didn't push you away is because I thought, if you wanted to kiss me, then I'd let you, as a way of repaying you. Also, I hope you'll stop being so delusional from now on. Things will never work out between us!" Clara said.She knew how cruel she was being!But if she wasn't cruel enough, they would only become more entangled.He grasped her arm so tightly that his nails dug into her skin. His voice trembled as he asked, almost squeezing the words out through his teeth, "So, if I ask you to sleep with me to repay me, you'll agree to it?""If I weren't pregnant, sure," Clara replied. "As long as you agree that we owe each other nothing from now on after that.""Owe each other nothing?" he stared at her intently, his voice hoarse. "Clara, is that really what you want? To have nothing to do with me?""Yes, because I don't want my peaceful life to be disturbed," she said flatly. "Bad things always happen to me when I'm with you. You sent me to

    “……” 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! The

    "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
