Noah grabbed Brennan’s collar and hurled him against the wall across the room. The latter’s head started bleeding.Yanking his hair, Noah pinned his pretty face to the wall and said, “Have you forgotten about how you knelt before me and begged me to give you a chance? What’s the matter? Are you going to cast me aside, now that you’ve gotten what you wanted?”Brennan’s feet flailed helplessly. Noah was so terrifyingly violent. If he didn’t give his former benefactor something, then he might die right there and then. His face was smashed against the wall so hard that he had to strain to speak. “Ms. Courtney is going to be playing poker at the club at eight tomorrow.”Noah shoved him to the floor and flung the flash drive at him. Lying on the floor, he fell into deep thought. In the past, he had always thought he was a nobody before Noah. Now, however, it didn’t seem anything had changed. He was still a nobody!…The next day, Courtney won some money playing poker in the dead of

There was nothing but pain and heartbreak in their history.As for the future… Well, why would they have any shared future in any way, shape, or form?Both of them stood in the evening light for a long time. In the end, Noah smiled faintly and said, “I’ll be going, then.”Casting another profound glance at her, he turned around and opened his car door. Then, he drove out of the driveway and left the villa. On the other hand, Gwynn was frozen to where she stood for a long time. It was extremely cold out here, but it actually slipped her mind to tug her cashmere scarf. Lorian ran over, hugged her feet, and asked, “Are you crying, mommy?”Bending down, she carried her son in her arms. Then, she buried her face on his small shoulder to prevent him from seeing her teary eyes. Her voice was a little broken when she said, “I wasn’t crying. Dust got into my eyes. That’s all.”Cupping her face, he said, “Here. I’ll blow it out for you, Mom.”Tears slid down from her eyes. …Noah

At the next moment, the doctor said sternly, “There’s no way your bone marrow would be compatible if you aren’t related to her by blood.”“Just do it!”Noah looked at Gwynn.She murmured, “I’ll do it too.”Anders and Marisol also expressed their willingness to run the compatibility test. Although Holly wasn’t related to the Templeton family by blood, Gwynn thought of the little girl as her own. That meant Holly was part of their family nonetheless.In the end, even Archibald and Saul volunteered themselves for the test. It’d take them three days to wait for the results!The doctor advised them that they couldn’t afford to waste another second. There was an extremely slim chance that it’d work. The best move was for them to travel to Silvercrest and convince Holly’s blood relatives to do the compatibility test.The night rolled on and it began to pour relentlessly. Gwynn stood by the window in the ward and watched as the rainwater collected on the surface of the leaves outsid

Gwynn raised her head and looked at him. She spoke with trembling lips. “It’s none of your business.”She tried to shake him off, but he was much stronger than her and easily overcame her struggle. She couldn’t move as he stared at her with unblinking eyes. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but she thought she saw a subtle hope in them.Then, she lowered her gaze. She knew what he was getting at. So, she thought she might as well put the cards on the table. “Yeah. I’ve broken up with him! However, it has nothing to do with us because there’s nothing left between us. I can never love you again, Noah!”Silence hung over the elevator. His heavy breathing was the only thing audible in there. He fixed his gaze on her, the muscles on his hand were visibly tensed up through his shirt. The tension between them was so thick he could cut it with a machete. That was when Anderson, who had gone quite far ahead and turned back, popped up at the elevator and said, “We’re here.”Bot

“No!”Maddox’s mother cried out sternly. Then, she went over to Noah and slapped him fiercely. Taking the knife away from him, she hugged him tightly and burst into tears. “Maddox would never have wanted this if he was still alive! He was such a pure, kind-hearted man. He’d never ask for anyone to cut off three fingers for his sake.“Maddox would never have done that! He’d only look after his daughter from heaven, keeping her safe for the rest of her life.“What is cutting Noah’s fingers going to achieve?“That wouldn’t bring him back.“That certainly wouldn’t save my granddaughter.”…Maddox’s mother brought her head to the floor and cried her heart out. “Please, everyone! You have to do the compatibility test for Holly! Think of it as doing it for Maddox. We have to save his daughter!“My husband and I are old and could move on to a better place anytime. We’re more than ready to move on from our hatred. After all, in life we can only go forward!”Then, she faced everyone a
