As soon as Clara signed the papers, she would have to cut off ties with Wilson. Even if they had two children together, they were no longer husband and wife. They wouldn’t be able to meet up that much anymore. Clara felt a pang in her chest when she thought of that. A car suddenly pulled up by her side, and Serenity got out of the car hurriedly. “Did you sign the divorce papers?” “Serenity?” Clara was surprised. “Did you sign the papers?” Serenity asked anxiously. If Clara had signed it, she would have had to go to the firm and intercept the divorce procedure. “Not yet. How did you know I was going to sign the divorce papers?"“I went to your place and your mother told me about your schedule. So, I rushed here. Luckily you haven’t signed it yet.” Serenity was relieved. “I should have already signed it, but I was afraid that there were loopholes, so I need time to think about it.” Clara made an excuse. “You couldn’t bear to leave him, right?” Serenity saw right through Clara. C
Clara couldn’t help but feel uneasy as she followed behind Serenity. Serenity took Clara to the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic unit.“Why did you bring me here?” Clara asked in surprise."You'll find out in a moment." Serenity said and walked right into the Chief Physician's office. The doctor greeted Serenity respectfully, “Hello, Mrs. Valor.” “I hope that you can tell Clara everything in detail like what I told you last time,” Serenity said. Clara recognized the doctor, one of the specialists who was involved in her childbirth. “But…” the doctor hesitated. “Don’t worry about Wilson. Although he ordered you guys to keep quiet, I am the one who told Clara about it. I just want you to explain everything to her because you’re the best witness,” Serenity said. The doctor hesitated for a second. “Well, I think there’s something that you need to know.” “And what is that?” Clara asked with a quiver. What the doctor was about to say next wasn’t a small matter. “Ms. Wells, after you ga
Clara broke down in tears. “How… Why…” “Before the surgery, Mr. Birch told us not to tell you about the second liver transplant. We all agreed after considering your condition.” After all, the hospital had to listen to the patient’s husband’s request. Clara couldn’t stop crying. She wondered if Wilson had kept quiet about it because he didn’t want her to feel psychologically burdened or he was afraid that she wouldn’t agree to such a surgery at all.Wilson had still sacrificed for Clara even though he had already forgotten the feelings he once had for her. He would have died on the operating table if the surgery failed! And now, his quality of life would never be better even if the surgery succeeded. Clara didn’t understand his actions. She sobbed and asked Serenity. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” “Just like the doctor said, you weren't in a good condition, and Amy was in the NICU. I was afraid that you'd get too emotional if I told you about Wilson. It would affect your re
“Listen to your heart, my dear. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do. You don’t have to worry about the consequences,” Mrs. Wells said. Clara had had too much to worry about in her life. She ended up keeping all the bitterness in her heart and suffering alone. Mrs. Wells just wanted her daughter to be happy. Serenity was envious of their relationship. Mrs. Wells would always stand by Clara no matter what happened, but Serenity didn’t have many memories of her mother. The only photo album that her mother had left behind had been burned and half-destroyed!Perhaps her mother would be happy for her knowing the life she was living now. Serenity quietly left the store and went to the elementary school. It was almost time for classes to end, and parents slowly began to gather at the entrance of the school.Serenity was here to pick up Caden and Cynthia, and she had something to tell Yannick as well. The first person she saw was Yannick. “Aunt Serene, are you here to pick up Caden a
Serenity wasn’t trying to put in a good word for Wilson. She just wanted to tell Yannick the truth. He was already 10 years old, and he could discern for himself!Yannick listened intently. He could tell that Wilson had sacrificed a lot for Clara. Clara had been telling him that Amy was lucky that she didn’t have any major problems with her liver, but Wilson had to donate his liver to Clara because hers was not functioning well anymore. Yannick had looked up online about liver donation. He knew a person could only donate their liver once, but Wilson had donated his twice. A strange feeling welled up in his chest. He used to hate Wilson, but the feeling had gradually decreased over the years. He panicked for a moment when he heard that Wilson could have died on the operating table. He was afraid that Wilson was gone. “How is Daddy doing now?” Yannick asked Serenity. “He’s still recovering, but his body might not be the same as before. His resistance and other body functions will b
“We can go back on our own. We don’t need her to pick us up.” Caden refused to follow Serenity. Serenity was a little upset. She understood that she hadn’t been there for Caden when he grew up, so it was natural for him to be resistant to her now.“Caden, I miss you a lot. I’m here to pick you up so that I can spend more time with you,” Serenity said. Caden looked at her coldly as if her words meant nothing to him. Cynthia spoke up, “Caden, let Aunt Serene take us home. I’m so envious that you have a mother like her. Compared to my mother…” Cynthia stopped talking. She didn’t want to acknowledge her stepmother as her mother because her stepmother wasn’t a genuine person. Cynthia often missed her mother, thinking that if her mother was alive, she would protect her from everything. Cynthia envied Caden every time she saw Serenity visit him. “I’ll give you my Mommy,” Caden said. “It's not like you can just give her away. You have to cherish her, okay?” Caden blinked. He understoo
Serenity was also willing to take Cynthia in if she wanted to come along with Caden. However, it was too soon to discuss that. Serenity’s answer wasn't bad news to Cynthia. At least she could still live with Caden for now. “Bye Aunt Serene,” Cynthia said before heading back into the building.She was surprised to see Caden’s figure standing not far away. “Why didn’t you wait for me at the elevator?” Cynthia asked.“I’m not leaving you. I’ll go wherever you go!” Caden said with a straight face. “You… heard our conversation?” Caden nodded. Cynthia was a little embarrassed. “But she’s your mother, so you’ll have to go back to her one day.”“I won’t!” Caden reached out to hold Cynthia’s hand tightly. “I don’t want you to leave, but… we’re just kids…” Cynthia said sadly. They could only accept adults’ decisions no matter what. When Cynthia’s mother passed away, she didn’t want her father to bring her stepmother to live in the house where her mother used to stay, but all she could
When Serenity returned to the Valor Residence, Jackson was already home. Seeing him, Serenity immediately embraced him and buried her face in his chest.She found solace in his smell, in his presence."What's wrong?" Jackson asked."I told Clara about Wilson's second liver donation," Serenity whispered."Why did you tell her so soon? I thought you were going to tell her a few days later?" Jackson asked, puzzled."When I went to see Amy earlier, Clara's mother told me that Clara was meeting with Wilson's lawyer to sign the divorce papers. I immediately rushed over to where she was. Fortunately, she hadn't signed yet, so I decided to tell her about Wilson's liver donation," Serenity explained the events of the day to Jackson."I don't know if Clara will still go through with the divorce, but...she deserves to know. She needs to know what Wilson has done for her," Serenity said."Clara will probably go to Latveria soon to see Wilson," Jackson guessed."You think so too?" Serenity
