Chapter 655
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.

“Oh, wait a minute! You’ve still got Gianna by your side. That was silly of me.”Gwynn smiled in a daze and continued, “You said you’ll be gone for a week, tops. However, you didn’t even come back after a whole month. I know you were with her! If you love her so much, then why don’t you make her your wife already? Why did you confess your love to me instead? Why would you say something about spending the rest of your life with me when I hate you so much?“It doesn’t make a difference, though. I can’t bear to be around you for a second, much less the rest of my life!“I hate that I can’t undo my past. I wish I had never met you!“Lorian was the one who was innocent in this whole mess! I feel sorry for him for having someone like you as his father.“It doesn’t matter. Very soon, your ties will be severed. You won’t mean anything to each other. I’ll give him away to Zoe and Mason soon enough. He’ll be their son and, boy, it’s going to be all the better for him, too.“He will finally

Be that as it may, Noah stopped. Lying down next to her, he cuddled up to her skinny body. His voice was as husky as it could be as he spoke with a hint of humility, “Let’s start over, Gwynn. Okay? I won’t leave you and let anyone come between us again. I’ll love you and only you. I’ll give you everything you’ve ever wanted when you’re young.“Don’t leave me, Gwynn. That’s all I’m asking of you.”Gwynn was dazed by what she heard. Start over? That would have been downright hilarious if it wasn’t so bleak. How were they supposed to start over again?They had never even started a loving relationship in the first place!There were only lies and deception between them. She was the only one who was naive enough to fall in love with him when she was a young lady. Lying on the bed, her patient’s gown was pulled open, revealing her raw-boned body. She might’ve been sickly thin, but she still had a hint of gracefulness.She wanted to straighten up herself, but she lacked the energy t

Noah gripped the cigarette and his hand froze midair. After a long time, he said with a tight voice, “His liver didn’t match Gwynn’s body? How could it be possible? Aren’t they born to the same parents? Why wouldn’t it match?”Kim didn’t have an answer for that. After all, the world was full of surprises. He didn’t press further. Instead, he merely stood quietly by the window and finished smoking his cigarette. Once he was done, he ordered Kim, “Arrange a compatibility test for my liver right now.”She was taken aback. “This is highly unlikely, Mr. Noah.”He ignored her and unbuttoned a couple of buttons before lowering his head to stare at his chest. He murmured, “I’m her husband. Fate brought us together for a reason. I believe my liver will be able to help her!”She thought her director had gone completely mad. “We need to believe in science, Mr. Noah.”“I’ve only fate to rely upon now, Kim.“Time is running short for Gwynn. We can’t waste precious time, trying to locate

However, Noah didn’t want Gwynn to die. He needed her to stay by his side. She even mumbled about going back to her studies earlier that night. That was why he wanted to go to Silvercrest. Once she was recovered, he could send her to college and she could study anything she wanted. All that mattered to him was that she was happy.…The sky was brightening up when Noah returned to Lockwood Hospital. Gwynn was half asleep. Opening the ward’s door, he walked over to her side leisurely and sat down. Then, he gripped her hands. She was shocked by the touch of his hands. He murmured, “Relax, Gwynn. It’s me. I need you to listen to me. Keep living. I’ll give you the liver you need. I’ll even give you one of my kidneys if you need it. I’ll give you everything I have, Gwynn.“Do you remember the way you used to call me? “Can you call me that way again?”…Gwynn’s hands were cold and her bones were clearly visible beneath her thin strips of skin. Staring at him, she said, exasper

Raising her head, Zoe said, “Have you asked Gwynn if she wants to stay here, Noah? You took away her freedom. What’s the difference between her and the old me? Please, Noah. Set her free. If she makes it out of this, let her look after Lorian and live out the rest of her life in peace.“Gwynn has suffered enough, Noah. I’ve never begged you for anything. Please, do this for me and let her go…”This was the second time they fought over Gwynn. Noah loved Zoe a lot. Saying something that would hurt her was the last thing he wanted to do. However, he wasn’t about to give up on his wife, either. In the end, he hung up the phone and pulled the lever, bringing the helicopter into the air. Its blades chopped the air and took to the blue sky. Zoe’s silhouette grew smaller by the second. She kept yelling after him. “Have you forgotten about it, Noah? Ever since you came out of jail, you fought with Mason multiple times because you couldn’t stand the way he treated me in our marriage. W
Chapter 662
All of a sudden, she went mad. There was no more naivety and innocence in her eyes. All that was left was resentment. “I’ve got no more to give to you now, Noah! Liam can’t make a living in Brookesville because you’ve ruined his reputation. You kept saying that I was punishing you. The fact is that I keep giving to you instead!“Now, you’ve got Lorian and me! Our lives are in your hands!“Is that enough for you? Huh?!“Why do you want me to keep living?“What’s there to live for? I’ve lost faith in everything. Do you know how it feels to have your heart and love squandered? Do you know how hard it is to walk on eggshells all the time? You kept telling me that you’ve spent some hellish time in jail. Well, that’s how I feel as well!“Back in our first year in Silvercrest, I loved you so much that I revolved my life around you. Your smile was enough to light up my entire day! “If I saw you with a gloomy face, I’d feel heartache for you at first. Then, I’d fall to thinking if I di
