Gwynn opened her door immediately.There was anticipation in her eyes and her heart was pounding like crazy. Her voice trembled as she spoke. “What are the results, Noah? Does anyone have a compatible bone marrow for the transplant?”Noah stayed silent. He handed her the document with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Her body shook in response. She couldn’t handle this news. She had to hold onto the door frame to keep herself standing. Dozens of Hermans went for the compatibility test. How was it that not even one of them was compatible with Holly?What would happen to her little girl now?Holly was still waiting for her at the hospital. Just then, someone from Brookesville called Gwynn. Holly missed her mom. Wiping her tears away, she said softly, “I’m sorry! I lost my composure for a second there.” She took the call by the window. She shoved her misery down deep, trying not to let her little girl know that her mom had just been crying. She went on to soothe Holly with an af

The door swung open before her. Noah’s clothes were messy, and his face was brimming with lust. There was also the fact that he was staring into her eyes intensely. Gwynn couldn’t help but take a step back. She wanted to run away immediately. However, he reacted much faster. Before she knew what was happening, he grabbed her slender arm and pulled her into his room. Then, he pinned her on the door. It felt as if she was pressed up against a hot kettle. His body was searing! His sweat also stained her dress. It felt sticky and unpleasant, but she dared not move a muscle. She was no longer a naive young lady. She had a hunch that he took something he should not have. Turning her head aside, she said in embarrassment, “Take a cold shower and calm yourself down, Noah.”“I don’t want to calm down.” His voice was trembling with carnal desire. Then, he touched her cheeks gently. His palm was so wide it could almost cover her entire chin. Looking at him, anyone could’ve guessed that

The sultry moment finally drew to an end. Both of them held each other and panted. The fact was that doing it once wasn’t anywhere near enough, but neither of them were showing signs that they wanted to have another round. They simply held each other in silence and took their time processing the good news about Holly. Their little girl was going to get the bone marrow she needed so badly. At that moment, both their bodies and minds were synced perfectly. After a brief moment, the sweat on their bodies, which was warm earlier, turned cold. Lowering his head, he kissed her and asked her in an extremely husky voice. “How far did you and Grayson…”He wanted to ask if they had already had sex with each other.After all, men cared about that the most. Still, he came to think that it wasn’t his place to ask her about it. So, he bit his tongue and stopped abruptly. However, she knew just what he meant. Getting off of his lap, she rolled over and leaned on the couch. Her bathrobe

Noah was quite speechless. “Where did you learn all this, Gladys?”She responded matter-of-factly, “I’ve been watching some war films lately. One of the actors, Samuel Nickerson, said the same thing. You see, he’s a versatile actor. He could play many different roles, just not romantic ones. That’s something you do better than him, Mr. Noah.”He didn’t have a good comeback for that. Marisol, who was sitting in the ward, burst into laughter. She pulled Gwynn to the side and whispered, “Did you guys get back together? I noticed there was something different about the two of you. Don’t even think about keeping it from me, Gwynn. I’ve got sharp instincts. I know something happened in Silvercrest!”Gwynn lowered her head and washed the apples. She decided she wouldn’t lie to Marisol. So, she said, “Something did happen in Silvercrest, but it was nothing worth mentioning. I won’t ever get back together with him!”Marisol nodded in understanding. After a brief moment, she pondered a

Gwynn responded, “Okay.”Then, she bade Grayson farewell. Since the Templetons didn’t invite him for dinner, there was no good reason for him to stay here any longer. Furthermore, he got the sense that they didn’t really want to bring him and her back together. They were only doing this as a courtesy to his family. He looked somewhat miserable when he left the villa.Anderson watched as he left. He asked softly, “Are you sure you won’t regret it? The Sargent family commanded a lot of authority in the culture industry. Grayson is all but sure to have a bright future.”She walked side by side with him. After a brief moment, she said, “I won’t regret it. After all, we’re both from different worlds!”He smiled faintly in response. …After dinner, she went back to her bedroom by herself, pondering problems of her own. Leaning her back on the door, she lowered her gaze and thought about Noah as well as Holly’s condition. She used to be his wife. So, she knew better than anyo
