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

All of a sudden, Gianna got agitated and threatened to jump off the building. Now, Noah wasn’t a patient man. So, not only did he not stop her, but he actually held her head outside the window and said sternly, “Go ahead. Jump if you dare. That way, you won’t have to worry about going overseas or torturing yourself for me.”Her lips were trembling. Then, she dived back into his arms abruptly. She had fallen apart. “Alright! I won’t jump out of the hospital! You call the shots, Noah. If you ask me to move to Gerlandia, then I’ll do it. I’ll start a new life there and stop harassing you. I only have one request.“Can you stay by my side until I’m discharged? I’ll leave you alone after that. You can go back to your family and keep Gwynn company all you like.”Then, she started wailing. “I love you, Noah! Who in their right mind would want to send the man they love into the arms of another lady? You’re too cruel to me, Noah! How could you?!”A streak of morning sunlight shone on

Gladys asked again, but the doctor insisted on talking to the patient’s family. So, she pulled out her phone and called Noah. She kept muttering, “Come on! Pick up the phone!”He answered the phone, but he was keeping Gianna company right now. So, he was rather annoyed and impatient.“We’ll talk about it when I get back.” With that, he hung up the phone. The old servant was so worked up that she burst into tears. Gwynn walked over to the window and cast her glance outside. Her voice was soft. “I found out I had liver cancer a few months back. I did a test in Silvercrest, but I declined treatment.“The fact is, I didn’t want to be treated. Are you stumped because I don’t have much time left in my hourglass, doc? It’s okay. You don’t have to hide anything from me. I’m prepared for the worst.”She paused for a while and added, “I’m worried about Lorian. That’s all.”Gladys was completely stunned. Then, she wailed. “You’re not thinking straight, Ms. Gwynn! How could you not tell Mr.

Carrying Gwynn in his arms, Mason sat in the ambulance. He used to be a medical student. So, he did what he could to stabilize her vital signs and called his hospital. He ordered, “I need information on Gwynn Worshem’s medical history.”A couple of minutes later, the hospital staff on the other end of the phone said, aghast at his finding, “Ms. Gwynn has stage four liver cancer, Mr. Mason.”His phone dropped to the floor of the ambulance. Moments later, he came back to his senses and called Ava. His voice was as soft as it could be. “Track down Liam at all costs. I don’t care where he is now, cuff him up and drag him back if you have to. “If there’s still time, he’ll transplant part of his liver to his sister. If time isn’t on our side, then at least he’ll have seen her one last time.”Ava was completely taken aback. Gwynn must’ve had some terminal illness or cancer for her CEO to be talking like this. Then, he took the unconscious Gwynn to Lockwood Hospital. Zoe was there f

A breeze blew past Noah. It was summer, but that didn’t stop him from feeling a chill down his spine. His mind traveled back to when he took the forms for the checkup from the nurse and said to Gwynn,“They’ll draw quite a lot of blood from you. I’m going to stay by your side tomorrow. I know how afraid you are of needles.”“Let’s live happily from here on out!”…Then, Gianna’s heart started having some issues. He decided to stay with her and asked Gwynn to call for some of their servants to keep her company instead. How could he have done that?!Rushing back into the car, he hopped in and tore through the streets, desperately making his way to the hospital. What on earth was he thinking?Gwynn must’ve known she was ill much earlier, but she didn’t say anything about it. Had she been waiting for the moment of her death? Had she been anticipating the sweet release that it’d provide her?He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn’t notice the traffic light turning red

Gladys was very disheartened and she couldn’t stop wiping tears from her cheeks. “I tried to call you and tell you about it, but you hung up on my call every time.”…Noah lit the cigarette and kept his head lowered. He took a few drags before asking, “Am I right in saying that Gwynn gave you some sort of instructions for when she’s gone?”The old servant didn’t dare to keep things hidden from him anymore. So, she stammered and told him everything. By the end of it, she murmured, “Aside from the fifty million dollars, Ms. Gwynn also knitted six cashmere sweaters and two scarves for Lorian. She even asked Ms. Zoe to take Lorian in as her own son. Ms. Zoe agreed to it too.”Fifty million dollars, six sweaters, and two scarves. On top of that, Gwynn was sending Lorian away. It’d seem that she didn’t count on surviving the cancer the moment she found out about it in Silvercrest back then!Blinking slowly, he noticed that his cigarette had burned out without him knowing about it. He

Noah cupped her cheeks. His hands were warm while her cheeks were cold. He said, “Don’t you think I care, Gwynn? Don’t you think I cared about the fact you were seeing Maddox behind my back?”At first, he was merely tricking her into thinking he was in love with her. However, he gradually developed real feelings for her. Now, ironically, she wouldn’t give him the chance to prove it!She was going to let herself die instead!Then, he pressed his cheeks against hers. Moments later, warm tears flowed down the part where their cheeks met each other’s.It was actually hard to tell who was shedding tears at that moment!Gladys, who was standing at the side, kept wiping tears off her cheeks. She couldn’t bring herself to be happy for her mistress. After all, she knew that Gwynn didn’t want this. Noah was dead to her mistress for a long time! A soft creak could be heard as the door swung open. A nurse stood there and said gingerly, “Dr. Lionel would like to have a word with you, Mr.
