"Don't worry, everything will be fine."When they got home, Charles noticed Noelle was still unable to sleep. He pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back. "Don't stress about it, alright?""But…" Noelle's eyes reddened as she spoke. "Am I useless? I thought I wouldn't feel anything. After all, I'm an adult now, and those feelings seemed so distant, almost irrelevant. But when Sean said he might not have much time left, I felt a pang of sadness.""Feeling sad is normal. Blood ties are impossible to sever, aren't they?" Charles sighed softly. "You've done well. Get some sleep. Tomorrow, when you wake up, visit him at the hospital and share what's on your mind. Alright?"Noelle hesitated. Her lips trembled slightly, but she eventually nodded. "Alright.""Good girl." Charles kissed her forehead gently. "Now, try to sleep."Noelle did not have the most peaceful sleep that night, but perhaps due to Charles' presence, she managed to rest until 7:00 or 8:00 am. When Charles ca

Fran answered immediately, but Harrison's first question took him by surprise as it concerned Shirley. He replied, "Sir, your condition was critical yesterday. I was only focused on you and didn't see where Ms. Shrill went."Harrison's gaze darkened. "Find her immediately. If you can't, don't bother coming back."He hung up the phone, only to meet Noelle's calm gaze. Her expression was serene, but the stillness in her eyes carried an unsettling weight.Harrison shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, feeling inexplicably flustered. "Um…""Can I ask you something?" Noelle broke the silence."Of course. Ask away!" Harrison set the phone down. "Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."Noelle smiled faintly. "Don't make promises so quickly. What if it's something you can't fulfill?"Harrison froze at her smile. It reminded him too much of a young Shirley. He tugged at the corners of his lips, forcing a weak smile. "You look so much like her when she was younger."Noelle's smile fad

Harrison furrowed his brows. "If you have something to say, spit it out.""How's your health doing?" Fran hesitated."I'm perfectly fine!" Harrison replied tersely.Despite his words, Fran could not shake his concern. After a moment of careful thought, he cautiously said, "After Ms. Shrill left the hospital, she wandered aimlessly along the streets. Later… Grant took her away.""What did you just say?" Harrison's eyes snapped open. "Grant Anderson?""Yes. Flynn was also there. Ms. Shrill was at a hotel with them, but we don't know what transpired between her, Flynn, and Grant. When she left, her mental state seemed off. Our people couldn't get too close, so the details are unclear. After she left Flynn, she returned directly to Springwood Garden and hasn't come out since."Harrison's mind raced while he was torn between relief and unease. "And she… Who's there?" His innate sense of caution made him sit upright.At that moment, Fran moved to the door and opened it. Seeing the fig

Harrison's grip suddenly tightened, his eyes wide with shock that matched Shirley's earlier that day when she uncovered the truth. "Flynn, why did you bring out this proof? What are you trying to do?""Mr. Smith, I'm not trying to do anything. It's just that the past has been tangled up for so long, so it's time to clear things up," Flynn said, shaking his head. "I thought Shirley completely cut ties with you when she left, but now I see you two never parted ways after all these years. Your feelings for Shirley must run really deep!""This is between her and me. You don't need to butt in!" Harrison's voice was cold. "Are you trying to rub it in my face that she chose you and not me in the end?""Mr. Smith, you've got it all wrong. Honestly, nothing ever happened between Shirley and me!""What are you saying?" Harrison stared at Flynn, stunned. Flynn could tell from his face that Shirley had kept the secret and was using him. "Yes, I was really good to Shirley back then, but it was

"Shirley was scared you wouldn't want the baby and scared you'd hurt her, so she asked me and my wife, Jessica, to look after the child until she grew up. That child is Kelly."Harrison's hands shook, and papers scattered all over the floor."Shirley was going to leave, but then you trapped her again. I don't know what happened between you two that year. When I finally heard about it, six months had passed. Shirley sent me a letter saying she had left the country and asked me to take good care of Kelly."Harrison looked up, his eyes red and teary. "Why are you telling me this now? What do you want?""To make things right!" Flynn let out a sigh. "I know you've already dealt with the people who hurt Shirley back then, but there's someone you missed."Flynn stood up, faced Harrison, and bowed deeply to him. "It's my fault Shirley went through all that trouble. If I hadn't set up that interview, she wouldn't have gone to dinner with those big shots, and none of that bad stuff would'v

Noelle walked into the hospital ward with Ellis. It was super quiet. Harrison looked like he was reading, but when he saw Noelle, he shut his book and said, "You're here!"Noelle nodded. "Are you feeling any better?""A lot better!"Noelle had visited Harrison a few times since what happened before, but they had just exchanged hellos without much small talk. They both knew without saying that it was not the time to discuss their relationship or Noelle returning to the Smith family.Harrison had asked Ellis to bring Noelle over today, so she thought he had something important to discuss. She was right. As soon as she sat down, Harrison said, "I've agreed to what you asked for!"Noelle blinked, confused for a moment. "What are you agreeing to?"Harrison closed his book and looked at her with a serious expression. "You said you'd come back to us if I didn't associate with Shirley anymore. I agree to that!"Noelle stared at him, hardly believing what she was hearing.She could not

Noelle's face went completely blank. "What do you mean?" That could not be true.Harrison understood that the news would be a huge shock to Noelle. It had been hard for him to accept when he first found out, and it took him a long time to make up his mind. Noelle must be feeling the same way now.Suddenly, Noelle felt awkward and did not know what to do with her hands. She looked at Harrison, wiped her hands anxiously, and forced a smile. "You're pulling my leg, right?""No!" Harrison said, shaking his head. "I only found out about this a few days ago myself. I've been wrestling with whether to tell you or not, but I think you deserve to know the truth.""Are Kelly and I really you and Shirley’s kids?"Harrison nodded. Noelle was at a loss for words.How could she even begin to sort out her feelings about her parents?She felt like she should be mad or throw a fit like Kelly did at Shirley during that press conference. However, Noelle just could not muster up that kind of anger.

Ellis got the medicine ready for Harrison and poured him a glass of water. "Here's your medicine, sir."Harrison took his medicine and was quiet for a long while before he asked, "Ellis, do you think I've done something wrong?"Ellis stopped, holding the water bottle in mid-air. "What are you talking about, sir?"Harrison rubbed his forehead. "Was it a mistake for me to come back?" If he had stayed with the status quo, maybe only he and Shirley would be caught up in their problems. He would not have dragged so many people into this mess. Noelle's life was so simple and joyful. He did not need to step in. When it came down to it, he was being too selfish, which was why..."Sir, I believe everything you've done was the right thing to do. You've spent too little of your life living for yourself. Everyone's a little selfish, you know."Harrison let out a small laugh. "Getting old makes you think too much. Anyway, how is she? Is she alright?""Yes. The folks at Springwood Garden say

"Mr. Canfield, I hope you understand that I'm Bobby's legal mother. I've cared for him for three years," Liliana said, her gaze fixed firmly on Yankel. "I'm sorry, but I won't agree to this.""Ms. Hoffman." Yankel's expression grew colder. "I hope you understand too that Bobby is Samara's and my child. He's our biological son. That's a fact you can't change. Besides, Ms. Hoffman, you're still single. If this goes to court, do you think the judge will side with you? Who can provide Bobby with a complete and happy family?"Liliana's face turned pale. "I…""Ms. Hoffman, I'm not trying to make this difficult, but I hope you see where I'm coming from. I've already missed the first three years of his life. I don't want to miss the rest."Liliana's grip on her coffee cup tightened. She bit her lip. "But can you guarantee Bobby will be happy with you? You've been married to the mayor's daughter for years. You have children of your own. Are you sure Bobby will feel truly loved in that unfam

That afternoon, Yankel showed up as scheduled. Bobby was fast asleep at the time, and Liliana sat quietly by his side reading a book. When she saw how peacefully he slept, a warm smile spread across her face.A knock came at the door. Liliana looked up and spotted Yankel standing at the entrance. She quickly set down her book and stepped out. "Mr. Canfield."Yankel glanced at her, his gaze settling on her calmly. "Thank you for taking care of Bobby during this time, Ms. Hoffman. Is he…""He's asleep," Liliana replied before he could finish. "He was waiting for you earlier, but it looks like you're a little late."She motioned to her wristwatch. "Bobby always naps around this time."Yankel nodded. "Sorry, there were some things at the company I had to finish dealing with…"Liliana nodded in understanding. "Would you like to go in and see him now, Mr. Canfield? Or…""I'll wait until he wakes up," Yankel said, not wanting to disturb Bobby's rest. He then looked at her. "Ms. Hoffman

Four years had passed."Mommy, Mommy."Bobby tugged at Liliana's sleeve, noticing she was zoning out again. He reached up with his tiny arms and legs, trying to climb onto her.Before he could get far, a large hand gently grabbed him. Bobby's little hands waved in the air as he called out, "Uncle Charles, Uncle…"Charles chuckled softly, scooping Bobby up in one arm.Noelle walked over just then, and the moment Bobby saw her, he reached out eagerly, ready to leap into her arms. "Aunt Noelle! Aunt Noelle!"Liliana snapped out of her thoughts and looked up in surprise when she saw Charles and Noelle. "Charles, Noelle… What are you two doing here?""We should be asking you that," Noelle replied with a smile, her eyes settling on Liliana's face. "Why didn't you tell us about Bobby's surgery?"Liliana gave a faint smile. "I only got Yankel's call today. He said he's willing to donate his bone marrow to Bobby. But they're still running tests, and I'm worried…"Even though Yankel w

"When do you want to leave?"Liliana's gaze was a little vacant. She did not speak right away.Charles waited for a while and noticed her eyes drifting toward the window. It was already winter, and the air outside had grown colder—just like the chill settling into Liliana's heart."As soon as possible," she finally said softly after a long silence."Alright. I'll make the arrangements to get you out of the country quickly.""Thank you, Charles." Liliana paused. "My mother…""Don't worry. I'll make sure someone takes good care of her.""That's good." Liliana relaxed slightly, then turned her eyes back to him. "Charles, I had a fiancé before… He treated me very well. If anything happens to him, please help him.""I will."Charles quietly listened to her as she gave instructions on a few matters, but he waited a long time without hearing her mention anything about herself."Liliana, Joanna is in my hands now. Do you want to handle her yourself, or…""Charles, let the law deal w

"Mr. Hoffman!"It was Charles Hoffman! However, Liliana was just an illegitimate child. Why would someone as important as Charles be so affected by all of this?Joanna looked up in terror. "No… You can't do this to me. You can't!"Charles gazed at her with cold disdain. "I can't?"He raised his hand. Andrew immediately stepped forward and handed him a dagger.Charles's frigid eyes fell on Joanna. "When you picked up a knife and used it on Liliana, did you ever stop to think you couldn't?""No, you can't treat me this way! What you're doing is illegal! Liliana is just an illegitimate child! She brought shame to your family! I did this for your sake, to help you, I—ah!"Pain exploded in Joanna's shoulder. Charles had thrown the dagger straight into her scapula, and she screamed before immediately passing out.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Wake her up with salt water."His voice sounded like it had come from the depths of hell. He glanced once more at Joanna and gave the order to A

"Liliana, you have to get better. When you do, you can do whatever you want, Liliana…"Just then, the door to the hospital room flew open, and a powerful punch landed squarely on Sean's face.He staggered back a step. When the next punch came swinging toward him, Sean caught it in mid-air. "Liliana is sleeping. If you want to hit me, do it outside."Charles lowered his fist, but the fury in his eyes was sharper than ever. "If anything happens to Liliana, don't blame me for forgetting our brotherhood."Sean nodded. "I understand."He had always known what Charles was capable of. "This was my fault. I'll fix it and give you an answer you'll be satisfied with.""Oh yeah?" Charles sneered coldly. "What about Savannah?"Sean's head snapped up. "Charles, she's my mother. If you want revenge, come at me. Kill me, torture me—whatever you want."Charles curled his lips. "You think I won't?""I know you will," Sean said.He turned to look at Liliana lying in the bed. She had not woken

"Sean… promise me… Take revenge for me." Liliana shakily reached out, but before her hand could even touch Sean's face, it dropped lifelessly to the ground."Liliana… Liliana!" Sean shouted like a possessed man. He scooped her into his arms and rushed to the car.In the car, Peter saw the state Liliana was in and froze in shock. "Sean…""Drive. Go to the hospital. Right now! The hospital!" Sean's voice trembled with fear.He was terrified. For the first time, he was truly terrified.Everything Liliana said moments ago echoed in his mind. The look in her eyes, the lifelessness of her body… She was slipping away from him.Sean could not imagine it. If Liliana really left him—if she truly died—what would he do?His entire body trembled as he held her cold, stiff form tightly in his arms. "Liliana… I won't let anything happen to you. I swear, I won't."Peter stepped on the gas. The car roared through the rain. He glanced at the two people in the backseat and quietly shook his head.

Liliana did not know how long she had been lying on the ground. Just when she thought she was going to die there, a voice suddenly reached her ears. It was so close, yet it felt so far away."Liliana, Liliana!"Sean had felt uneasy all day during his business trip, as if something bad was about to happen. He could not shake the feeling off. However, being away, he had no way of knowing what was going on.When Jasmine called to tell him that Savannah had taken Liliana away, the unease in his chest surged uncontrollably.He had always known Savannah disliked Liliana, but he never expected her to actually take her away.There was no time to catch a flight. Sean drove straight back, speeding for over five hours to return to Brookville. The moment he arrived, he went home to confront Savannah.When he questioned her, he learned that she had handed Liliana over to Joanna. Savannah had reassured him repeatedly, claiming that Joanna was just going to help with the abortion and that, as a

What gave Liliana the right? She was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter, so how could she deserve Sean's affection?The cold surgical instruments stirred inside Liliana's womb. Her entire body convulsed from the pain, but Joanna looked on with sheer satisfaction.Finally, when the child inside Liliana had turned into nothing but a pool of blood, Joanna's gaze turned chilling as she stared at her. "Ha! Liliana, now that the baby's gone, do you think Sean will still marry you?""You lunatic...! I won't let you get away with this. I won't ever let you go."Joanna, still holding the scalpel, slashed another cut across Liliana's face. "I won't let you die that easily. I'll take your child, then destroy your face. Look at yourself. Go on, take a look!"She pulled out a mirror from God knew where and held it up in front of Liliana.Liliana, already in despair, showed no reaction upon seeing the bloodied mess that was her face. The pain in her abdomen was so overwhelming that she
