Chapter 677
Gladys was so happy that she teared up. Noah wasn’t around that day, so she seized the opportunity to talk to her mistress. Sitting by the bed, she said, “You’re doing much better now, Ms. Gwynn. You have to think about Lorian and stay alive! There are no second chances when it comes to life. I’ve never heard about someone coming back from the dead, either!” Gwynn leaned on the headboard. The little boy was fidgeting with a toy dinosaur egg. He couldn’t have enough of it. Parting his lips, he gave out a hearty laugh, revealing his white teeth and looking all adorable. These joyful sounds were what gave her strength. Wiping her tears, Gladys said, “I’m sure Mr. Noah would go easier on you when you’ve fully recovered. Anyway, I heard from Kim that he found you a perfect pair of corneas. The donor’s in Amestria right now.“Once your surgery has been scheduled, the donor would fly over right before the date. You’re about to regain your sight, Ms. Gwynn.”Gwynn only responded brie

Gwynn leaned back on the headboard and remained quiet. The window wasn’t closed completely, allowing a cool breeze to rush into the ward and assault her already weakened body. She heard everything. Her husband was going to redirect the cornea donor to Gerlandia because Gianna was sick too. She needed a heart transplant. Alan told him that she could become blind for good, but Noah stood firm with his decision. It would’ve been hilarious it if wasn’t so tragic. He really had to take a good look at himself. How he could claim that he loved her when his actions suggested otherwise? He actually told her that he wanted to start over with her and give her happiness. She looked grim and indifferent. How lucky it was that she understood Francorian. Noah missed that part about her when he was investigating her background. She traveled to Francoria for a whole year when she was eighteen years old. It wasn’t too hard for her to understand common Francorian.She couldn’t help but thi

Noah warmed her ice-cold hands with his warm hands. He even held Lorian in his arms and spoke in an uncharacteristically tender tone, telling her about their future. “Once your surgery is through, we’ll go skiing in Seridian every year. I’m sure Lorian will love it! “You can choose to live in any country or city you like then. As for my business, I can always look for a business partner or work remotely.“Seridian or Nordhaven are wonderful choices. “How about you tell me which country you like, Gwynn?”…He said so much, but none of it moved her.She even sneered internally. After all, it wouldn’t do if he ran himself down, trying to make empty promises to her while being worried about Gianna’s condition. Are you sure you can hold down both of us, Noah?Noah didn’t get any answer from her. At the next moment, his phone rang. He was worried that the phone call might affect her mood. After some consideration, he lay down on the bed and answered the phone, “Noah speaking.”

Gladys was just nagging. She wasn’t expecting her master to actually give her an answer. To her surprise, he offered up an explanation to Gwynn when he lifted his suitcase. “One of the branch companies in the southern hemisphere ran into an emergency. I have to be there to solve it.“Anyway, Dr. Alan said you’re doing marvelously in the recovery process. As for the corneas, I’m aware of the time crunch. Trust me, I’m looking for a pair as fast as I can. Give me a month. You’re going to regain your sight within a month. That’s a promise, Gwynn.”She lay on the bed and listened to his alleged sweet, loving words. Southern hemisphere, he said…That meant he was going to Gerlandia!The irony didn’t escape her. She would’ve been fine if he merely stopped loving her, but why did he insist on lying to her over and over again? His lies were so badly crafted now she was sick of keeping up the act for him. She smirked in response.Kissing her on the cheeks, he murmured, “My chauffeur

Gladys was overjoyed when she received the news. Grasping Gwynn’s hands, she said, “What are the odds?! A kind-hearted donor was willing to donate his corneas to you, Ms. Gwynn. You must’ve done a lot of good in your previous life. This miracle wouldn’t have happened otherwise.”Gwynn’s eyes were wrapped with gauze.Feeling her way around the old servant’s hands, she held it and responded, “I brought some cash with me. Do me a favor and give the donor some of it. I know it’s a little unseemly, but it’s my way of saying thanks. Sometimes, money does buy comfort.”Gladys nodded repeatedly. “Of course! It’ll be done! I’ve found out where the donor is. Let’s pay them a visit when you finally regain your sight, Ms. Gwynn. I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to them too.”At the next moment, a fierce thunderstorm began brewing outside.The next thing they knew, rain began pouring and lightning streaked across the dark sky.The surgery went without a hitch. Alan wrapped the last layer of gauze ar

A blood-curdling scream could be heard.Hailey scrambled down the stairs with her newborn baby in her arms. With tears in her eyes, she kept screaming her husband’s name. “Maddox! Maddox!“Please don't let it be you, Maddox! Please!”…Everyone around her stared at her. To them, she was just a beautiful lady who had gone out of her mind. She looked like she was on the verge of falling apart. Her slippers had slid off her feet and there was a baby in her arms who kept crying non-stop.A male body lay down in the flower bed in the center courtyard. His limbs were hanging off the raised concrete as blood seeped out all over it. There wasn’t any life in his eyes. He was just staring at the sky, where dawn had just broken over the horizon. It was the beginning of a new day, but he’d never live to see it. “Maddox.”Hailey called out from among the crowd. Making her way through them, she walked over to her husband’s dead body. Staring at him with unblinking eyes, it took her les

‘This is how we can be together for an eternity, Maddox.’…Silence hung over the center courtyard. By the time Gladys made her way here, the crowd was muttering amongst themselves. The old servant had a sinking feeling in her stomach. Working her way through the crowd, she finally saw Maddox and his wife in a pool of blood. She couldn’t take such a heartbreaking and grisly sight. Falling to her knees, she stared at the young couple and said in a choked-up voice, “It’s Maddox and his wife! It’s really them.”Holly waved her arms in the air and continued to wail at the top of her lungs. The old servant swooped the baby up gently while tears flowed down her withered cheeks. “I recognize this jade. You’re Maddox’s daughter!”It was so excruciatingly painful that it felt like someone had stabbed her through the heart. Holding the baby in her arms, she said shakily, “Oh, my sweet child. Let’s take a last look at your mom and dad. You won’t be able to see them again after today

Kim nodded. “Leave it to me, Ms. Gwynn!”After a brief moment, Gwynn said in a daze. “Find a nice, cozy place and bury them together. I want these engravings on his tombstone. ‘Here lies Gwynn’s loving protector, Maddox. Loving husband to Hailey.’ I’ll take their daughter to visit them every year on their death anniversary.”…Gwynn attended Maddox and Hailey’s funeral. Carrying Holly in her arms, Gladys and Kim supported her from both sides. She said before their tombstones, “Don’t worry, guys. I’m going to take good care of Holly and raise her until she’s all grown up.”There was a picture of Maddox and Hailey embedded in the tombstone. It was a happy picture, and they both had big smiles on their faces.…Kim finally managed to call her director. It had already been three days since Gwynn received the cornea transplant. She no longer understood who was more important to Noah. Was it his wife or Ms. Gianna? She was calling now because she wanted to tell him what happened
