The Cherished Wife Chapter 956
"Have you heard about Lennon Group? Their former CEO, the one and only Mr. Lennon, got kicked out. He's pretty legendary and was buddies with our boss, Mr. Hoffman. There was talk about us teaming up with Lennon Group, but Colossus Group ditched them after they landed in hot water. Lennon Group's golden boy, Jamie, came looking for Mr. Hoffman at our office. He tried a bunch of times but never got to see him.""Really?" Noelle was taken aback. She knew about Lennon Group drama but had no idea Jamie had actually shown up at Colossus Group searching for Charles.Knowing Charles, he would not give Jamie the time of day. Even if he was not part of the Lennon family, the way he treated Tania was beyond heartless. Charles not going after Jamie for payback was already a huge favor to Peter. However, with Jamie practically knocking on his door, how could Charles pass up the chance to settle the score?"What happened after that?""What's left to happen? I've heard Lennon Group's on its last

That evening, as Noelle and Charles chatted about the day's events, Charles grinned and gave Noelle's hand a playful squeeze. "Are you that curious about Nexus Group?""No, not really," Noelle replied, her gaze drifting toward the kitchen. "What's the deal with Tania and Peter anyway?" She had hoped that things between Tania and Peter would cool off after the recent drama, but they had lapsed into an awkward silence instead.Charles's smile faded into a thoughtful frown. "I don't know. That's between them."Noelle let out another sigh. "What about Mr. Smith's report? Is Tania healthy enough to go through with the surgery for Aunt Nancy?""We still don’t know. Sean's discussing it with Dr. Powell, and I’ve not been keeping up.” He and Peter were not medical experts, so they did not understand the specifics despite shadowing Sean."What are you two whispering about?"Tania walked in from the kitchen, drying her hands, with little Brandon in tow. "Charles, I had my check-up the othe

Marvin was at his limit and gave a weary nod. "I've never encountered a virus this difficult to deal with.""Neither have I," Sean admitted. He thought he had seen it all in medicine, but that virus stumped him. "Go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow."Once Marvin had left, Sean leaned against the lab wall, exhausted.The whole ordeal with Tania had kept him away from home and his bed for days.Then there was the virus...Tania waited and worried for days, sensing that something was off. Everyone seemed to be keeping secrets from her. Her suspicions worsened when Nancy suddenly took a turn for the worse, slipping into unconsciousness.The doctors were clear: Nancy did not have much time left. A bone marrow transplant was her only shot at surviving, even if just for a few more years. Without it, Nancy was a goner.Nancy's doctor made sure Tania was far away before he spoke to Peter and Henry. However, they did not expect Tania to have her ears pressed to the door, ca

"I just don't get it," Tania said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Can’t you see my mom lying unconscious in that hospital bed? I just came back, and she's aged so much. I missed over twenty years with them, and then I stupidly left for another three years. I can't afford to lose any more time with her. Do you understand?""I do!" Peter replied, his voice heavy as he watched Tania's outburst. His eyes darkened, and he felt a pang in his heart. He wrapped his arms around her, soothingly rubbing her back. "I understand, Tania, but with the shape you're in, even if your mom gets the surgery, she might not pull through. It's risky, and I can't let you take that chance.""Are you worried about me or yourself?” Tania shoved Peter away. "You're not me. You can't understand. I lost twenty years with them, and just when we could have reunited, you made me leave Brookville. It's all my fault! All of it!""Tania!"Peter reached out to her, but Tania slapped his hand away. The elevator doors

"Don’t cry," Charles whispered as he wrapped his arms around Tania, gently patting her back. He waited until she settled down before he looked at the others and then Peter. "It's time she learned the truth.""I... What are you guys keeping from me? Why are you delaying the surgery?" Tania's confusion grew. She understood others being against the surgery, but if Charles was too, then something was definitely up.Tania scanned the faces of the men around her, noting their unusually grave expressions. She could not shake the feeling that something terrible was looming, and Peter's strained voice confirmed her fears. "Okay."Her heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the fabric of her sleeves so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her breathing sped up with anxiety.Peter caught Tania's gaze, sorrow flickering in his eyes. He stepped closer and took her hands in his, offering a gentle squeeze. "Whatever happens, I'm right here with you."Tania tried to wriggle her hand free, feelin

"Stop!" Tania cut Sean off mid-sentence. "I don't believe a single thing you're saying. How could I be carrying a virus? All these years..." She trailed off, her mind racing with memories.She bit her lip, and her face revealed something was not right. "What is this virus, exactly? Can you cure it? How long will it take? My mom..." She could not wait any longer.Peter squinted, watching how Tania was acting, and he could not shake off a bad feeling. "Tania, did something just occur to you?""Nothing!" Tania said too quickly.However, the faster Tania denied it, the more Peter was convinced she had realized something. However, with Tania keeping quiet, there was nothing Peter could do.Tania bit her lip and inhaled sharply. "Mr. Smith, you know my mom's always been there for you, and I hate to ask, but I need your help again. If my bone marrow isn't a match, what about someone else's?"Sean shifted uncomfortably. "Tania, you know that even blood relatives don't always match, and b

Steven would rather ask a stranger for help than return to the Naylors. A stranger would probably be kinder than the Naylors. "We've got to at least try!" Charles said, stubbing out his cigarette with a steely squint. "I'll figure something out with the Naylors.""Do you really think you can pull it off?" Sean asked, skeptical. Charles was the big shot of the Hoffman family, and they were on really bad terms with the Naylors. "We've got no choice. Aunt Nancy and Tania are running out of time. I need you and Dr. Powell to figure out that virus ASAP. My team's been on it in Kerlsberg, but they’ve gone nowhere.""Don't worry. We’ve been working on it constantly!" Sean replied, his energy fading. "Dr. Powell, what do you think?""I just remembered someone who might be able to help us," Marvin blurted out."Who?" Steven, Charles, and Sean chimed in together, all eyes on Marvin.Marvin took a moment to think. "You might have heard of him—the elusive Mystic Lifebringer, Houston. Howeve

Tania's mood had improved significantly with Peter by her side. He took her to Nancy's hospital room, and when Tania caught sight of Henry, her dad, sitting silently next to her mom, her eyes welled up again.Henry looked up, his heart aching at the sight of Tania. He let go of Nancy's hand, stepped out, and closed the door behind him. He gave Tania's shoulder a gentle pat. "Tania, I know it's tough, but mom would be upset seeing you like this.""Dad!" Tania rushed into Henry's embrace, her voice quivering. "I'm not crying, really. Peter will find a bone marrow donor. We're going to make Mom better.""There's my brave girl," Henry said, smoothing her hair, then turned to Peter. "Take Tania home and let her get some rest. Make sure you keep an eye on Brandon too.""I'll look after them. You have my word, Dad!"Henry gave a small nod. He was not Peter's biggest fan, but he could tell he really loved Tania and treated her right. If Tania could patch things up with Peter, she would be

The Cherished Wife Chapter 1878
Liliana's piercing scream echoed through the empty underground parking lot. However, there was no one to hear her and no one to witness what was happening to her at that moment. No one knew that this was the beginning of her personal hell.Her voice broke as she gasped for air, her hands desperately pounding against Sean's back as she tried to push him away. However, he only held her tighter.Her fragile body was trapped beneath him, moving in rhythm with his relentless force. She had no idea when it would end.Sean, lost in his own haze, was consumed by the warmth surrounding him. The way her body clenched around him only drove him further into his intoxicated madness. It was not until Liliana's voice had gone completely hoarse that he finally reached his release.Liliana blacked out from exhaustion, and eventually, Sean, too, drifted into a deep sleep while still holding onto her.The night had descended upon her so suddenly, like a storm Liliana never saw coming.When Liliana

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

Sean was only in his second year of college, but he had already finished all his courses and was even starting clinical trials.That was pretty rare at Vista University, and even the colleges in Capiton wished Sean would join them. However, as talented as Sean was, he did not rush through his education. He took everything one step at a time.Many people did not know that Sean was not just thinking about where to do his hospital residency. He had his eye on a hospital he wanted to buy.Joanna was studying medicine too and was a year behind Sean. She was smart and pretty, which made her popular with teachers and students. She got along great with the older students.She had watched a clinical trial with some seniors and got to know them better, especially Sean.Sean might not have noticed, but almost everyone at the college knew Joanna liked him.Today, she was the secret organizer of a get-together that was supposed to be for the seniors, but she made sure Sean was invited.Every

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for
