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
But after making such a big sacrifice, Wilson left without a word. Was it because she had disappointed him too many times before, so this time he chose to say nothing?Her hand gently caressed the spot where her liver was – the liver he had selflessly given her. The organ was now functioning inside her. She had thought that her time was running out, but he had once again extended her life.And what about her? Should she feign ignorance and just sign the divorce papers? Or should she...Contemplating this, Clara lowered her gaze. Her hands tightened slightly, as if she had come to a decision.Then, she went to her mother's room and softly knocked on the door. "Mom, are you awake?"Clara's mother opened the door. When she saw Clara, she could tell that Clara clearly had something on her mind, so she said, "Come in."Clara went into the room, took a deep breath, and said, "Mom, I want to go to Latveria, but I can't take Amy with me because she's still too young and she's just be
Although he used to hate Daddy because Daddy had hurt Mommy badly, he now felt grateful to him.If Daddy hadn't donated his liver to Mommy, he would have lost Mommy.Clara smiled hearing that. "That's right, he... is a very brave man."She knew that, the moment she decided to keep the baby, he was already prepared to risk his life for her and the baby.Even though he used hypnosis to forget his feelings for her later on, he still made the same decision in the end.Two days later, after making all the necessary arrangements, Clara boarded the high-speed train to Latveria with her suitcase.She didn't have Wilson's new phone number, so she could only call his lawyer. "I would like to meet with Wilson in person to discuss the divorce.""I'm afraid that might be difficult. Mr. Birch is too busy to come to Solaria," the lawyer said."That's okay. I'll go to Latveria instead. In fact, I'm already on the high-speed train to Latveria," Clara said. "What?!" the lawyer sounded shocked.
She should have suspected something was amiss much sooner. These pills were the exact same as the ones prescribed to her after her first liver transplant. But she carelessly thought that the doctor prescribed these medications to her because of the burden on her liver due to the childbirth.She was... so stupid!Clara smiled bitterly and once again touched the area on her right side where her liver was. This liver was Wilson's.After donating his liver to her twice, how much of his own liver did Wilson have left? She could hardly bear to think about it.When she saw Wilson again, what should she say?Should she express gratitude or apologize? Or... should she tell him that she loved him?If she had known that this would be the outcome after all the twists and turns, she should not have broken up with him back then at the hospital.Her intention was to keep him safe, but she actually burdened him even more!After the high-speed train arrived in Latveria, Clara took a taxi to the
Frank made his way into the mansion and found Wilson reviewing some company documents on the couch."Mr. Birch, I just saw Mrs. Birch outside the mansion. She wants to see you," Frank informed him.The pen in Wilson's hand paused.She still came after all!Even though he had clearly expressed through the lawyer that he wanted no further contact with her, she still showed up.These days, he had made a conscious effort to push her out of his mind, to erase her from his thoughts completely. Yet, whenever he found himself in a moment of quiet, her face and voice would incessantly invade his consciousness.Memories of their time together would relentlessly flash before his eyes.He had already hypnotized himself and should have forgotten about their relationship by now! Why did this woman continue to occupy his mind so persistently?!"Mr. Birch?" Frank asked again when Wilson did not answer."If she wants to see me, then let her," Wilson replied. "Take her to the living room. I'll
Clara snapped back to her senses. She took a deep breath to compose herself. "I came here to discuss... our divorce," she stated."If you're not satisfied with the terms I proposed, I already informed my lawyer that I'm open to considering any reasonable requests within my means," Wilson responded calmly. "If you came only to talk about the divorce, you can just discuss it with my lawyer. It won't make a difference."With that, he turned away, intending to leave."No, it's not the same!" Clara lunged forward, grabbing Wilson's hand. "I don't want a divorce. I don't want to sign the divorce papers."Wilson's body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at Clara with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You don't want a divorce?""That’s right," she said firmly.His gaze grew deep, and after a moment, he smirked mockingly. "So you want to be Mrs. Birch for a little longer? What's the reason this time? Last time, it was to prevent Amy from being born as an illegitimate child. This tim
"So, what you're saying is, in less than half a year, you suddenly realized your true feelings? You claim to have fallen in love with a man you didn't love before? Clara, do you really expect me to believe a lie like that?" he retorted."It's not a lie, it's the truth," she hastily defended herself. "Back then, I thought my love for you was too shallow, while you loved me too much. I was afraid that if anything were to happen to me, it would bring you a lot of pain, and that's why I said those things. But now..."Her voice trailed off, and her gaze shifted to the right side of his rib cage, where his liver resided – the very organ he had selflessly donated to her not once, but twice.He followed her gaze, and a flicker of realization crossed his face. He asked with a frown, "You know?"He asked the question out of the blue, but she understood."Yes, I know. I know that you donated your liver to me again when I gave birth," she said, her eyes welling up with tears.He seemed to ha
