Cecil dropped the bombshell out of nowhere!Cecil let it all out before Zara could stop her. "Cecil!"Yosef had turned to leave when he stopped and stared at Zara. His dark eyes were filled with a brewing storm.Stanley had just gotten out of his car and caught the tail end of the conversation. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Zara with a mix of surprise and concern.Yosef let go of Beatrice. She looked away, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "The child... The child...""Did we lose a child?" Yosef asked Zara, his voice steady without showing any sign of emotion. "When did it happen?"Zara could not find the words to speak. It felt as if she had a lump in her throat.Yosef thought back over the last few months and could not believe it. "Everyone has their limits when it comes to lying. How did I not know you were pregnant and then had a miscarriage?"Zara gave a bitter laugh. "If you think I'm lying, then sure, I'm lying."She grabbed Cecil's hand, ready to walk awa

Cecil came out of her room looking ghostly white and stuttered, "I... I had put that note in a notebook, but now I can't find the notebook anywhere." Her words only added to the ridiculousness of the situation. Stanley furrowed his brows and glanced at Zara, who barely managed a weak smile. Yosef's face remained blank. Desperate to show that the notebook was real and not made up, Cecil said, "Zara, you've seen my blue notebook, the one with my name on it. You even laughed at me for writing my name on it just like we did in school. Remember?"Zara did remember the notebook.They each had separate rooms, and she rarely went into Cecil's room. She had no idea where the notebook could be.Beatrice, standing behind Yosef and gently touching the bandage on her face, whispered, "Does that mean there's no proof?"With those words, the already chilly atmosphere in the tiny apartment seemed to grow even colder.Cecil was still trying to prove she had not lied, while Zara had stopped pay

She could not. She just could not.Zara had her parents to think about. She could not just ignore everything."You stole my mom's heart, her chance to keep living. That's a fact. You're making me lose my mom. If you have any heart left, you should know when to stop. How does it help you to push me to the edge?""That's a fact," Yosef echoed with a mocking laugh. "You just keep thinking that."Zara really did not want to believe it.Deep down, she was afraid that what Beatrice had said was true—her dad's chest now held the heart that Sharon needed.Stanley gently held her shaking shoulders. "I know a way to find out if Ms. Lowry was ever pregnant or had a miscarriage," he said with a firm voice.All eyes were on him now.Stanley continued, "It's simple. I just need to do a quick health assessment.""You're going to do a health check?" Yosef asked, sounding doubtful.He wasn't just questioning Stanley's skills. He was wondering if Stanley might lie to protect Zara."My older b

Stanley raised an eyebrow. "You don't trust me?" he asked. "I do trust you. It's because I respect the complexity of medical knowledge that I find it hard to believe you could have mastered medical knowledge so easily," Zara said. Without spending decades in serious study, no one could achieve that level of expertise. Surely Stanley, being a professor in another field, could not have managed that.Stanley gave a half-smile and said honestly, "Well, I don't know how to give a health assessment—not one bit.""You lied," Zara said in a low voice.Looking into her eyes, Stanley replied, "I lied because I trust that you wouldn't."Zara's eyebrows flickered without her meaning to.Stanley, someone she had barely known for a month, believed in her and was there for her. What about Yosef?She could not shake the feeling that he doubted her, even about something as serious as a miscarriage.Feeling a lump in her throat, Zara grabbed the beer from Stanley, who tried to grab it back.

Zara's tears fell silently, one after another.She could not remember if she had leaned into Stanley or if he had pulled her close to his chest. Either way, she was now resting against him, her tears soaking into his blue shirt. It created a spreading dark blotch.Stanley whispered, "You've made my shirt all wet with tears for the first time, Zara. Looks like you owe me another shirt."Zara looked up at him.His eyes were kind and calm, casting a spell of comfort.Yosef was nothing like him.Yosef was the type who, even up close, seemed distant and emotionless. He was very cold.Zara's tear-streaked, woeful face was unintentionally alluring. Stanley, though a true gentleman, was also a man. He found it hard to resist.He swallowed, and his voice sounded rough. "You shouldn't look at a man like that. If you keep it up, I might just have to kiss you."Zara continued to gaze at him, almost as if she was giving permission or even inviting him.It looked like he could not play the

Yosef rolled down the car window and stretched his hand out to tap the cigarette ash into the breeze.He turned to Samwell in the front seat and instructed, "Go and get the surveillance footage from the hospital entrance."He meant the video that showed Zara and Cecil attacking Beatrice. He wanted to make sure it did not end up causing a big fuss if someone else got it.If they looked into it, that kind of intentional harm could lead to Cecil being locked up.Samwell nodded, understanding what he had to do.Yosef continued, "Also, bring me the lead surgeons for Zara's mom and Beatrice's dad.""Got it," Samwell responded.By some strange twist, it turned out that Sharon and Harry had the same lead surgeon.Only the top doctors did heart transplants, and at First People's Hospital, there were only two choices for cardiac surgery.Flint Snyder was usually treated with great respect, yet in front of Yosef, he would not even get in the car. He just stood in the rain and held his um

"I know, let her catch her z's," Stanley said with a gentle voice. "Have you grabbed a bite for breakfast?"Cecil blinked her eyes. "I was gonna grab a bagel and some juice on my way to work.""I swung by the store and picked up a few things to whip up some oatmeal. If you can wait a bit, it'll be ready soon."It clicked for Cecil right then. Stanley was not just here to cook. He was here to make a special breakfast for Zara!Finding a guy who knew his way around the kitchen, especially one as classy as Stanley, was not an everyday occurrence.Cecil quickly said, "Feel free to use the kitchen. It's right over there. Help yourself to anything you need. I've got to dash to work, so I'll skip breakfast. You two enjoy."Stanley gave her a grateful smile and headed into the kitchen with his groceries.Cecil could not resist. She whipped out her phone and snapped a photo of Stanley rolling up his sleeves. She sent it to Zara with a quick text.Once Cecil was out the door, Stanley got

The internet? Zara was confused. "Why?""You should look online first. It seems like you might not need to do anything else. People are seeing things differently now," Shelby explained.What did she mean by that?Zara quickly closed the call screen and went to check the local hot topics. Right at the top was a post from First People's Hospital.She clicked on it and read through it quickly.At about ten in the morning, First People's Hospital had posted a long explanation about a big fuss at the hospital.They admitted they had messed up by not telling the patient and their family right away when the heart for the transplant went to someone else, which made the patient and their family take a trip for nothing.The hospital had not made the rules about organ transplants clear to the patient's family, which made them really upset because they could not understand what was happening.The hospital realized they had messed up too. They said they were really sorry to the patient, the

Stanley saw Zara's thank-you message when he got back to his office after teaching.She did not just say thanks. She also sent him a photo of a green plant by the window, telling him how lovely the sunlight was.He smiled and asked: [Is that mint? What got you into planting mint?]Zara replied: [It's easy to care for. And when you need some flavor, you just pick a leaf. It's nice to look at, delicious, and smells great.]Stanley laughed. [You've sold me on it. I'll get one for my place too.]Zara said: [You don't have to buy one. Mint grows like crazy. I'll give you a few cuttings, and before you know it, you'll have a whole pot.]Stanley could tell from her words that Zara was in a good mood.Stanley thought for a second before typing back: [What's up? Did having a few drinks at dinner cheer you up?]Zara gave a small smile and said: [No, I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to bother asking your friends at the medical school anymore.][Why not?][Chairman Webb took

Chapter 130

This was all wrong.After three years as Yosef's secretary, Zara knew Mondays were his busiest days at work.He hardly ever came to the Webbs' place, so why show up now and at such an odd time?Zara's brow creased for a moment. Two months had passed, yet he looked exactly the same.Winter had wrapped Starville in its chilly embrace, with the temperature dipping below 50 degrees. Yosef, in his black suit, was shrugging off a long cashmere coat and handing it to the helper. He had just come in.As she stepped out of the kitchen, Yosef looked up, his eyes meeting hers. Yosef and Zara locked eyes for a few seconds before Yosef turned away to wipe his hands with a warm towel the helper had handed him. He did not show much emotion. Zara felt a little uneasy. She carried the soup to the dining table. Macy was there, setting out the silverware. She saw the soup and said, "This mushroom soup looks so tasty, perfect for this kind of weather. It's great to have such a light and delicious s
