She looked at him who was looking down and suddenly said,

“I met Brian at the mall today!”

His body stiffened a little. He stopped what he was doing and looked up at her. “It’s alright if you don’t tell me about it.”

She said, “But I don’t want any misunderstandings between us. I know you minded what I had with Brian, so I want to be clear with you. I told Brian today that I’m happy with my life now. I told him you’re the one I love and I hope he’ll stop dwelling on the past.”

He stared at her. “Do you really think you’re happy with your life now?”

Grace said, “Yes, I’m happy. Our marriage is far happier than

I thought it would be. Sometimes, I’m a little worried because I’m so happy right now. Especially after comparing myself with Kyla and Lina, I-”

“No!” he interrupted her abruptly and said with great certainty, “No matter what happens, we’ll be together forever!”

His gaze was intense and domineering, catching her firmly like a net.

She was willing to be caught in his net. “Yes, we’ll be together forever!”

It was after three in the morning. Kyla Corbyn dragged her tired body back to the rental house. She took out several boxes of medicine, filled a gla** of water, and took her pills.

There were seven or eight of these pills altogether. These used to be the last thing she wanted to take, but now, they gave her hope to live another day.

When Mrs. Corbyn came out of the bedroom, her eyes could not help turning red when she saw her daughter taking the medicine. “I think you should stop running the food stall. We still have some savings. Or I can work as a domestic helper so you can spend more time with Nelson.”

Kyla Corbyn swallowed the last two pills and turned to look at her mother. “Mom, you’re too old to be a domestic helper.

I’ll run the food stall for another month and make some more money. After all, we need to spend a lot on medicine every month. I’ll close my stall in a month and spend time with

Nelson then.”

Mrs. Corbyn felt sadder as she looked at her daughter’s calm appearance. “Did the hospital really check it right? Did they-”

“I’ve been to two hospitals. The test results are the same. How could they be wrong?” said Kyla Corbyn.

“Why don’t you ask Grace for help? Hasn’t she married Jason? Jason is so influential in Emerald City. Maybe he can find a good doctor to treat you? There’s hope!” Mrs. Corbyn said unrelentingly.

Kyla Corbyn shook her head. “I owe Grace enough already.

She’s pregnant, and I don’t want her to worry about me. What’s more, my sickness is already in the intermediate late stage. I’ve seen the specialists in both hospitals. They all said there’s no other way but to replace the liver. But Mom, you know I have a unique blood type. Most livers won’t be a match. for me, and it’s almost impossible to find a liver with the same blood type as mine.”

She chose to hand Nelson to Martin Weiss because she had already been sentenced to death and could do nothing more.

Mrs. Corbyn could not help but cry. “Why did you get your father’s blood type? If only you got mine. An old woman like me is of no use. If only I could give you my liver.”

Kyla Corbyn’s nose felt sore too. She wiped her mother’s tears with a tissue. “Mom, I’ve let you down the most. I was supposed to take good care of you, but you were constantly on the move with me and never enjoyed life. Mom, you need to take good care of yourself.”

“There’s nothing to apologize for between us mother and daughter. I just hope you can live longer and spend more time with me!” said Mrs. Corbyn.

Kyla Corbyn tried to squeeze out a smile and said, “I will. After I hand Nelson to Martin Weiss in three months, I’ll accompany you back to your hometown, Mom. I’ll find a nursing home for you there. With the money I’ll be leaving you from my insurance, it should be enough to pay for the nursing home…”

Kyla Corbyn rambled on. She had planned it all out for Mrs. Corbyn, but the more her daughter spoke, the more Mrs.

Corbyn felt sad.

By the time Kyla Corbyn was done talking, Mrs. Corbyn was already crying her eyes out as she hugged her daughter.

Kyla Corbyn gently patted her mother on the back and comforted her softly, “Mom, don’t cry. Don’t cry…”

It was not her son who worried her the most, but her mother. Her mother had devoted so much to her, but as a daughter, she could not even provide for her old mother until the end of her life!

Kyla Corbyn went to a nearby market to buy some ingredients for the food stall, and she happened to run into Chase Harper on her way back.

Chase Harper was happy to see Kyla Corbyn. “What a coincidence. I was afraid no one would be at home when I got there!”

“What are you doing here?” asked Kyla Corbyn.

“I happened to have something to do nearby, so I came to drop off some toys. They’re toys from my childhood, but they’re still in good condition. Nelson was interested when I told him about them, so I wanted to give them to him. You can just throw them away when they’re worn out. They’re only trinkets of little value anyway,” said Chase Harper.

“Thank you,” Kyla Corbyn thanked him.

“Are you carrying these things upstairs? Let me help you!” Seeing the ingredients on Kyla Corbyn’s motorcycle, Chase. Harper rolled up his sleeves and helped carry them.

Kyla Corbyn thanked him again.

As they carried the things upstairs, they did not notice a car that was parked not far away. The person in the car was looking at the scene with a dark gaze.

Chase Harper did not stay very long. He only put down the toys he brought, chatted a little, and left.

Kyla Corbyn said, “I’ll send you downstairs. I have to go down and clean up the food stall cart anyway.”

Then, the two went downstairs and Chase Harper asked somewhat hesitantly, “Grace… How is she?”

“She’s fine. She’s getting along well with Jason. The babies are due in a few months,” said Kyla Corbyn.

A hint of gloom flashed across Chase Harper’s face, but he still said sincerely, “As long as she’s okay.” She was the woman he really liked. He also hoped that her hard times were over and she could truly be happy.

Kyla Corbyn looked at his gloomy appearance, raised her hand, and gently patted his shoulder. “You’re a good man, and you’ll find a good woman!”

“I hope so.” Chase Harper touched his nose mockingly. “What about you? When are you going to find a father for Nelson?

It’s too tiring for a woman to take care of a child alone.”

Kyla Corbyn smiled gently and said nothing. ‘Find a father for

Nelson? I’ll never get the chance to do that.’

Chase Harper looked at Kyla Corbyn’s smile under the sun and could not help being a little stunned. He only felt that her smile was fragile and empty.

He even felt as though the person in front of him was about to melt into foam and disappear.

“What’s the matter?” He did not come back to his senses until

Kyla Corbyn’s voice rang out.

He quickly pulled himself together and hurriedly said, “No-Nothing. I’m going home. Just call me if there’s anything I can do for you.”
