Unruffled, Jade let herself be scrutinized until Tucker's mother had seen enough. Then, she asked, "Is it okay? If it is, I can transfer the money to you right away."Tucker's mother looked at Jade fearfully and nodded. "I agree."70,000 dollars was an astronomical sum for her. It meant a worry-free life for the rest of her days.By the time all the formalities were completed, it was already dawn.When Gemma heard the news, she hurried over to find Jade. "Is it ready?""Of course it is," Jade said confidently. "It's already been delivered to the hospital.""Really? That's very fast!" Gemma exclaimed. She probably would've never guessed that the heart had been there all along and belonged to Tucker.Jade felt a sense of satisfaction as she took in Gemma's eagerness. If Gemma found out that the heart belonged to Tucker, would she be furious?She stretched lazily and said, "No rush. I'm hungry. Mom, can you buy me some food?"She needed to eat and drink so she’d have the energy t
Gemma had overlooked this, too focused on securing a heart for Neve. She had been too excited and anxious to check."Neve, you must make me proud. You don't know how much I've sacrificed for you."Neve nodded innocently. "Mom, don't worry. I won't let you down."Gemma nodded and changed the subject. She couldn't dwell on it any longer, as it would only hurt. "A heart that matches yours has been found."Sure enough, Neve's attention shifted and she exclaimed in joy, "What? A heart that matches mine has been found? Oh my god."Having a healthy heart had been Neve's wish since childhood. If the surgery was successful, she would be able to run, jump, and do the things she loved."Mom, I'm so happy," Neve said, rushing into Gemma's arms, tears of joy streaming down her face."Is this true?" Melvin, who had just arrived at the hospital, heard the good news and felt like he was dreaming."The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Neve, prepare yourself," Gemma said, lovingly stroking Nev
"Brianna, go and get the box from the safe," Leah instructed.Brianna looked surprised but still fetched it.The box was quite antique, with dark patterns swirling under the light, giving it a mysterious look.Leah opened the box with a key, and when it clicked open, Jade's heart skipped a beat.Inside the box lay a piece of ancient jade. When the box opened, there was a faint halo glowing from the jade, adding to its mystique.Leah handed the jade to Jade, saying, "Jade, take it."Jade looked at Leah in bewilderment. "Grandma, what's this?"Leah put the jade around Jade's neck and smiled. "This is yours. I was keeping it for you, but from now on, you'll keep it yourself."Jade was only an adopted daughter. In her previous life, she hadn't even known who she was. Was Leah now revealing her true identity by giving her the jade?Seeing Jade's eager expression, Leah shook her head. "When I brought you from the orphanage, this jade was already on you. I don't know much about your
At Leah's insistence, Jade stopped refusing. "Okay, Grandma, I'll accept it for now."Leah smiled and patted her shoulder. "Alright, go about your business."Outside Leah's home, Jade received a call from Melvin. "Jade, Neve's having surgery today. How could you not be here for such a big event?"Clearly, he was calling her to be a standby blood donor, but he made himself sound so righteous.Jade believed that if anything happened during the surgery, Melvin would not hesitate to drain her blood to save Neve."Sure, Dad," Jade scoffed with a raised eyebrow. There was a cold gleam in her eyes.They wanted to use her blood, huh? Well, they'd have to see if she was willing.When Jade arrived at the hospital, Neve had already been taken into the operating room. Upon seeing her arrive, Gemma glared at her. "Your sister is having such a big surgery, and you're late. It seems like you don't care about this family at all.""If I'm not welcome here, I can leave right now." Jade found a c
Although Jade wanted to let them fight it out, she didn't want to involve innocent people. That fire had not only claimed several lives in her past life, but it had also caused significant damage to the hospital. However, if she claimed that someone was planning arson, she was afraid everyone would think she was crazy.She could only go to the security office and find the head of the security team. "The electrical circuits in the corridor of the operating room area are old and pose a safety hazard. As a patient's family member, I'm very concerned. I demand that you take fire prevention measures."The head of security looked helpless, but he couldn't get angry at her, so he said, "Alright, we'll take your suggestion into serious consideration. I'll make arrangements right away."Jade wouldn't budge. "You better go now, or I'll file a complaint against you."Seeing that she was being so difficult, the head of security had no choice but to ask two people to check the electrical circui
Jade quickly stepped aside. She didn't want to get caught up in this mess.The hospital was already crowded, and since Kaitlyn and Gemma were causing a scene, everyone came over to watch the commotion. The scandal of the wife fighting with the mistress was sensational.Melvin wanted to step in to break up the fight, but a mere man like him could barely interfere in a fight between women. Before long, he ended up with a few scratches on his face.Gemma and Kaitlyn were entangled in a fierce fight, pulling each other's hair and slapping each other's face.Gemma, who had a fierce temperament and was very angry, gained the upper hand after a few rounds. Kaitlyn's buttons were scattered on the floor, her neat hair had turned into a mess, and her fair face had been scratched beyond recognition. Pinned down by Gemma, she took a brutal beating.Gemma swung her arms and slapped Kaitlyn's face left and right mercilessly. Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed. When she turned around, she saw Melvi
Kaitlyn grew more excited as she thought about it. She poured gasoline without paying attention to the nearby wires, which were also splashed. After pouring it, she quickly brandished a lighter, but she didn't anticipate that her leg would give out, causing her hand to hit the wall.The lighter was instantly knocked to the floor, and a spark met the oil, causing flames to erupt instantly.Kaitlyn screamed and quickly backed away. The security guards who rushed over saw the scene and immediately restrained her before using fire extinguishers to put out the fire.Kaitlyn's arms were held back, and she shouted in a panic, "Let go of me! I'm pregnant. Let me go!"The security guards didn't listen to her and said, "You committed arson, which is against the law. You can explain this to the police.""Let me go, let me go!" Kaitlyn screamed, seeking help from Melvin, "Melvin, save me, please save me! I didn't mean to do this, I really didn't!"Melvin was too busy to care about Kaitlyn no
Regardless of Neve's state inside, Gemma was truly done for this time. Despite her legitimate status, could Melvin be around a woman who was disfigured? Today's events would definitely make headlines the next day, and Melvin would be preoccupied.The weight in Jade's heart seemed to have been released, and she felt inexplicably light. This was the nicest day she had experienced since her rebirth."Jade." A cold voice came from behind, and Jade turned to see Caelan standing there with a stern face. It was understandable that he, as the CEO, would be informed of such a big incident. Jade smiled and greeted him. "Mr. Fitzgerald."Caelan stood in front of her, his gaze cold and his tone icy. "Jade, I don't care what your motives are, but don't test me. This hospital is a place meant to save lives, not a place for you to seek revenge. If you dare play tricks under my nose again, don't blame me for being ruthless."Jade was struck by a realization. Caelan thought that today's events were
