Chapter 643
The car’s headlights drew closer from afar.Noah stepped out of the car swiftly, wiped the rain off his face, and walked over to her. “Gwynn.” He caught her hands and realized that they were bleeding profusely. Rainwater poured into his throat as he spoke. “Wait for me in the car! I’ll look for Lorian!”She shook his hand off violently.She shuffled to another dumpster. There was no time to lose. She kept mumbling her son’s name all the time. “Lorian… Lorian…” However, she hadn’t gotten a couple of steps away before he grabbed her arms again. Wiping rainwater from his face again, he uttered sternly, “You’re going to kill yourself. Get in the car! Lorian’s my son too. I’ll do my best and find him!”“You’re not his father! You’re a heartless monster!” With that, she swung her hands and gave him another slap.Taking a step back, she glared at him and screamed hysterically, “What’s the point of me clinging to life if Lorian’s gone? Listen up, Noah. Lorian matters more to me than

"Don’t pass out, Lorian! You can’t fall asleep!Please listen to me, sweetie. You can’t pass out…"…It was the middle of the night. The lights in the Lockwood Hospital’s emergency department were all lit. Aside from hypothermia, the filthy water from the trash had gone into Lorian's lungs and infected them. Suffice to say, he was in critical condition. Zoe, Mason, and Mia made their way to the hospital. Zoe brought Gwynn some fresh clothes and asked her to get changed, but the latter was in no mood to do that. In the end, Zoe had to pull her away and make her wash herself up before helping her change. The doctors were still doing everything they could to save the little boy. Later, the chief doctor came out and told Mason that things weren’t looking good for Lorian. Mason simply gawked at him for several seconds.Then, he made a phone call. “Hi, Sam. It’s me, Mason! An infant with a lung infection is in your hospital now. The situation is looking grim and I know you’re

'Oh, my sweet boy. I don’t have much time, but I’m going to spend whatever’s left of my life, clearing out a path for you in the future. No one’s going to hurt or scare you anymore.' All of a sudden, Noah's phone rang.Noah stood by the window and answered the call. It was Kim. She had worked all night and her voice had turned hoarse. “I found Gianna, Mr. Noah!”He responded tersely, “Send me the location!” The moment he hung up the call, there was a beep. Kim had sent him the location. Noah checked it before tucking his phone away. Raising his eyes, he met Gwynn’s gaze. She said softly, “Don’t forget what you promised me. Gianna has to pay!”Then, she shifted her gaze and rested her eyes on Lorian. He responded, “Leave it to me! I’ll see it done!”…Walking out of room 1004, he saw Kim waiting for him right outside. She walked side by side with him and said, “I think she’s doing it on purpose! She exposed herself so you’d find her, Mr. Noah.”She added, “I’ve reported

“I used to think you truly loved me, to some extent.“I started dreaming of becoming your wife.“Just when I was about to get everything I’ve worked for, you went ahead and took everything back! You burned our bridges because Gwynn saw us doing it! What about my sacrifices? What about my unborn baby and my compromised body? Who am I supposed to settle the score with?”…Gianna threw stacks of her medical bills in the air, letting them fall onto the floor. Throwing her head back, she laughed with tears in the corner of her eyes. She was definitely ruthless and tried to kill Lorian. That much was true. However, it was all because Noah did wrong by her!He loosened his grip and took a step back. About half an hour later, he walked out of the suite, wearing a grim expression. Kim was right by the door, waiting to give the order to seize Gianna. To her surprise, he raised his hand to stop her. Glancing at her, he said calmly, “Tell everyone downstairs that it was just a big misu

Gwyn blinked slowly.She thought she heard him wrong. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “Care to run that by me again, Noah?”“Can you spare Gianna if I give you this document?”He had barely said it when her hand fell and slapped him hard across his face. She put so much force behind it that it actually hurt her hand. Her ears were ringing as well. Silence hung over the ward. The only thing she could hear was their heavy breathing. She was at a loss for words. After a brief moment, she finally found her voice and said, “Lorian is your son, Noah! That skank almost killed him. Are you seriously using this document to save her? Does she mean so much to you? Is Liam’s life so worthless you need to use it to spare someone like her?”Any mother would’ve been sickened by this outcome. He promised he’d do right by her when he left and this is what he ended up doing. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She said softly, “I’ve long lost any hopes and expectations of you and our marriage,

Gwynn flashed him a bleak smile.Did he just say he cared for her? What a joke. It had got to be the best joke she had ever heard. She turned away and left without a moment’s hesitation. Reaching out, he tried to grab her arms, but his hands merely closed around the air.…Zoe dropped by the hospital and checked on Lorian. Noah was away at work for some urgent business, leaving Gwynn and Gladys to take care of the little boy in the ward.Given his condition, he spent most of his time sleeping. Gwynn’s face was pale and she didn’t look well either, which worried Zoe. So, she asked the old servant about it when she got the chance. Needless to say, Gladys knew about the entire story. “At first, Mr. Noah said he was going to make things right for Ms. Gwynn by putting Gianna behind bars for twenty to thirty years. I’m not sure why, but he changed his mind after he met up with that homewrecker.“I think he gave Ms. Gwynn some sort of important document in exchange for Gianna’s l

Mason responded, “Okay. I’ll see that it’s done!”The traffic light turned green and the traffic moved along. Gripping the steering wheel, he said lightly, “You should give Noah a call when you have the chance! Ask him to be with his family more and stop attending to other business. Gwynn might be Liam’s younger sister, but she was his wife. She even gave birth to Lorian. This isn’t the kind of bond he could just cut off.”At the end of the day, it took a man to know a man. Mason could just tell that Noah loved Gwynn from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, the former wouldn’t have let the latter give birth to his son. Zoe leaned back on the leather seat. She was so dispirited that she couldn’t bring herself to say anything further. He cupped her hands in his is, giving her some warmth while maintaining a solemn face. …That night, he made the arrangements for Gwynn to do a full body checkup. The nurse walked over to room 1004 in the middle of the night. Noah was there too

Noah finally made his way to the hotel. Gianna had consumed red wine and antibiotics. She was in a comatose state by the time he got there. Carrying her up, he sent her to the nearest hospital. The doctor had to pump her stomach and carry out an enema for her. It took them all night to finally pull her back from the brink of death.Dawn broke over the horizon and Gianna woke up in the ward. Sweeping her eyes across the room, she noticed the white walls and the faint scent of disinfectant in the air. Noah’s back was turned to her while he stood by the window. He spent the night in the hospital and his hair was a little messy. However, it merely brought out the wildness in him, giving rise to a feral charm. Feeling a lump in her throat, she uttered, “Noah!”Instead of turning around, he looked at the rising sun out the window and said dryly, “Don’t do this to yourself again if you’re not serious about dying. You might lose your life for real if you do.”“You cared about me, af
