"Like you said, Ollie is your son," Claire said hesitantly, fixing Charles with a nervous stare. "You won't let him die, would you?"However, his answer despaired her. "That would depend on you," he said. The smile accompanying his words was just as cruel and heartless, just like how he was when they first met.Claire did not dare to express her despair. "Alright," she sighed. "I think we need some time alone to think about this, but Ollie cannot wait. Please do drop by the hospital tomorrow for the checkup. Even if you're not willing to donate to him, at least give me some hope. Please?" she gazed at him pleadingly.Charles hummed lightly in acknowledgment. The vindication wasn't as enjoyable as he had wanted it to be. "Again, that would depend on your answer."Claire blanched, swaying on her feet. For a long moment, the room was silent. Then Claire got to her feet and walked out quietly.At the door, she turned back. "Charles, please don't tell Javier or Ollie about it. I am begging

The jealousy and anger in Hattie's eyes were almost palpable. When Yvan looked at her, she jolted slightly and resumed her usual demureness. "What did you say? I'm sorry, Yvan, I don't think I heard you just now."Yvan frowned at her but did not comment on her distractedness. "I was just saying that Claire is quite an enigma. She has surprised me."That made Hattie even more jealous of Claire. She snorted. "Who knows what kind of despicable tricks she did to bed Charles, of all people? As I expected, she's nothing but a whore."Yvan wasn't sure if he agreed with that sentiment, but before he replied, he remembered that they weren't alone. He cleared his throat and said coldly, "Thank you for this. You'll get your reward for a job well done."The spy was pleased with the praise. Lowering his head respectfully, he left the room, leaving Yvan and Hattie alone."Now is a great time," Yvan said pointedly. "Javier will be too busy juggling his personal and work lives, so this is the perfect

"Mr. Marquez. Welcome back." Javier's expression was unclear, and he gave a faint response. Then, he noticed Claire's shoes at the entrance. She wore this pair when he last saw her today. At the thought of that, a conflicted look flashed in his eyes, and he casually asked, "When did Claire return?"The maid was taken aback but quickly returned to her senses and replied, "Mr. Marquez, she returned this afternoon. However, she hasn't spoken a word and locked herself in the room. She won't speak to anyone. I had no other choice but to send her meal to her. After that, I left her alone." Javier nodded, and the annoyance in his heart intensified. "Got it. You can rest." After that, the look in his eyes was covered by the dark shadows. The maid lowered her head and left. Then, Javier walked to Claire's room. It was a room he had prepared for her before they were together. However, no one had occupied this room after they were married. When Javier learned that Claire had returned, he

Once Claire said that, no one spoke for a long time. Finally, Javier patiently said, "Claire, I know that as Ollie’s mother, you’re anxious because he’s sick. Even though you keep stating that I’m not his father, you have to believe that I treat him like my own child. I will never mistreat him." Javier’s words were sincere, and it was rare to see such patience in such an arrogant person like Javier. Suddenly, he choked as he remembered Claire’s retreating figure that wouldn’t stop no matter how he pulled her. That feeling made him uncomfortable and scared. Claire was on the verge of tears and calmly looked at Javier. However, the words she said would hurt the man she loved deeply. "Javier, I’m tired. I know you are too. Ollie is my child, so please let me deal with this alone. It’s the best ending for everyone." She didn’t wish to bring any trouble to the people around her. Moreover, she loved Javier so deeply. Claire couldn’t bear to let Javier be exhausted from being with her.

After Javier said that, he didn't stay or wait for Claire to say anything else. He left the room. When the door closed, Claire felt as if her soul had left her body, and her weak side showed. She fell to the floor helplessly with her back against the cold wall.Tears rolled down her face. Perhaps Javier was right. Ollie was just an excuse. The truth was she was too weak—too scared to lose everything, and scared of being hurt, so she chose to accept everyone's help. Yet, she had no other choice. Why did fate have to keep playing games with her? She was framed by her own sister and was abandoned by her father. Despite being so young, she had to take up the responsibility of being a single mother and was constantly looked down and humiliated. Fortunately, Ollie was an angel. Moreover, she was able to meet the love of her life. But why was another challenge given to her when everything was going smoothly? Could she have done something unforgivable in her last life so she had to suffer
