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
Clara said expressionlessly, "Great. I hope you can keep your word this time."Wilson forced a bitter smile. His eyes were devoid of any brightness; only a lifeless gaze remained. "Alright, I promise you. After this, I won't show myself to you ever again. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. I'll give you the peace and quiet that you want."After getting the promise from him, she packed up the food box she had brought and turned to leave.Before she walked out of the door, she added, "Also, stop storing blood for me at the hospital. Lisa and Serenity will help me with that. Even though I have a rare blood type, they'll find a way to prepare enough blood for me. I don't need your blood."Wilson silently gazed at her back. She made him feel worthless. Perhaps, in her eyes, he was indeed worthless.The ward door opened and closed.Wilson stood alone in the room, stunned, feeling his body becoming colder and the world losing color before his eyes."Clara, I
"You... don't blame me?" she asked."No. Why would I?" Clara replied. "I know you did it to keep Wilson safe. My intentions are the same. Goodbye, Madam Birch."Clara walked away.Like Madam Birch said, Wilson loved her way too much. He would store blood at the risk of his own health on the off chance that she might need a blood transfusion during childbirth.Who knew what else he would do for her in the future!Although the five-year recovery period for her liver transplant was already over, no one knew how her liver would react to the childbirth. In fact, no one knew how long she had left to live.She was just dragging her broken body along, living day by day, with the unknown looming over her.Since that was the case, it would be best to completely end her relationship with him!Clara slowly made her way out of the hospital. When she reached the hospital gate, she realized to her surprise that tears were streaming down her face.Who knew cutting ties with him would hurt her
Indeed, deep down inside, she knew she loved Wilson. She once considered him the love of her life. But later, he became the person she hated the most in her life.After everything that happened, she thought she could finally stop loving him or hating him.But she fell in love with him again without realizing it.If she didn't love him, she wouldn't be this sad.However... they were simply not meant for each other."Clara, don't you think it's a shame to end things like this?" Serenity asked seriously.Clara replied bitterly, "Serenity, I hope Wilson can live a good life." If they truly got back together, she might end up being a burden to him one day.If her liver were to suddenly fail one day, what kind of decision would he make?She couldn't bear to think about it.After saying that, Clara fell silent. She drank the cup of water absentmindedly.Serenity didn't press the issue either. She knew that what Clara needed at the moment was not someone trying to persuade her, but a
Serenity's eyes narrowed, while Clara said, "I already told you, I'm not gonna go meet her. Let the law decide her fate.""But..." Harvey seemed to want to say more, but hesitated because Serenity was present. "Mrs. Birch, can I have a word with you in private?""No, I don't think I have anything to talk to you about in private!" Clara refused.Serenity told Harvey, "Stop harassing my friend. Who does Queenie Yale think she is? Why does Clara have to go see her just because she asked? Clara did owe her some favors in the past, but those favors have long been repaid. Tell Queenie Yale she's going to prison because she deserves it, so stop bothering Clara."Serenity could somewhat guess the reason why Queenie wanted to see Clara. It was probably to bring up the past and seek forgiveness from Clara, hoping to escape punishment.Clara had a soft heart. If she met with Queenie, she might actually forgive her.But knowing the kind of person Queenie was, if she escaped punishment this t
