Casey: [No. Afraid of seeing Noah at his hospital, Ms. Healy?]
River’s anger surged. ‘Are you only capable of provoking Noah? Hasn’t he hurt you enough? Are you a masochist? she thought.
She suppressed her anger and texted: [I’m not scared. See you tomorrow
She then stashed her phone in her bag, not wanting to continue the conversation.
In the afternoon, Axel stared at his bald reflection in the mirror, rubbing his head with his sore arm. He wondered if his mother would be saddened by his current appearance.
Axel feared that his sickly appearance would startle his mother. He placed his arm down and leaned against the basin, overwhelmed with questions.
“How long will it take for me to recover? When can I get a bone marrow transplant? I need to see Mommy and tell her about my daily pain. I can’t eat because of the medicine, and the nighttime agony clouds my mind. I don’t want Daddy to worry, but I’m really tired,” he thought.
His hand trembled as he reached for the bathroom door. The door was slightly open when he caught Richie’s voice. “Mr. De Marco, his white blood cell count has increased slightly. Don’t worry. He’ll recover faster after the bone marrow transplant.”
Noah inquired, “Will he still need chemotherapy after the transplant?”
Richie replied, “No, but he must continue chemotherapy without the transplant. It’s a long and painful process, and there’s no guarantee of a full recovery.”
Noah fell silent. ‘Hmm, you may go now.”
Richie nodded and left.
Axel hesitated by the wall, unsure whether to leave the room. Facing his father was difficult as he knew the immense stress Noah was under because of him.
After a while, Axel heard the phone ring. Shortly after, a voice that terrified him reached his ears. “You’re calling me at last, Noah.”
Noah replied coldly, “Let’s meet.”
Daniella proposed, “Shall we meet tonight if you’re free?”
“I’ll send you the restaurant’s address,” Noah said.
“Sure, I’ll wait.”
Axel closed his eyes, trembling in pain. He would endure it until she provided the bone marrow so he could reunite with his mother in good health.
Greta sent the restaurant’s location.
River headed to the restaurant after sending the children home from school and changing into casual attire. She parked her car at the entrance 20 minutes later and was about to enter when she heard
River turned and saw Daniella looking exhausted and sickly as if she hadn’t slept for days. She observed her and said casually, “Stop showing up and scaring people.”
“I can’t. I’m going on a date with Noah today.” Daniella sneered as she approached River.
River was taken aback. ‘Is Noah reconciling with Daniella?’
“You must be surprised, huh?” Daniella mocked. “Noah will forgive me no matter how I treat Axel.”
River’s expression turned icy. “What you do with Noah is none of my business. But I’m warning you not to have any designs on Axel.”
“And who are you to meddle in my affairs?” Daniella retorted.
River replied calmly, “I don’t have time for your affairs. Just a piece of advice: be wary of divine retribution smiting you!”
Daniella crossed her arms. “So what? It’s enough for me to see you feeling uneasy!”
“Really? What if Noah discovers you’re getting close to Casey? How would he react?” River countered.
Daniella scoffed. “Aren’t you talking about yourself? You seem to forget how furious Noah was when you met up with Casey.”
River said, “I have nothing to do with him, but you’re different…”
“No, no. Noah will treat me well soon, and we’ll be inseparable.”
River suppressed her displeasure. “What are you trying to say?”
Daniella raised her hand and patted River’s shoulder. “I’m just thinking out loud about how you’re not doing as well as you should as a mother.”
River pushed Daniella’s hand away firmly. “If you have something to say, just say it clearly. Don’t act all superior here!”
Daniella withdrew her arm and massaged her sore hand due to River’s shove. “What else can I say? I just want to tell you that Noah will always be mine, and you won’t have him or Casey.”
River sneered. “You’re just seeking attention.”
Daniella’s expression turned serious instantly. “River, show some respect, or I’ll make things difficult for your son.”
River replied, “Feel free to try if you’re not afraid of me.”
Daniella looked slightly scared upon hearing that. She stood tall and said, “I don’t want to waste my time talking to you.”
She swiftly walked into the restaurant.
River watched Daniella’s departing figure, her mind in turmoil. She couldn’t understand why Noah would meet with Daniella. ‘Hasn’t Axel suffered enough? Do you have a heart at all? If you want to be with
Daniella, just return my son to me! she thought.
River took a few deep breaths to calm herself before entering the restaurant.
Inside Room 3012, a middle–aged married couple occupied the private dining area.
River briefly glanced at Greta before focusing on the man beside her. He bore a slight resemblance to Neil, with graceful features and a mild demeanor.
Noticing River’s arrival, Greta stood up and greeted her. “You’re here, Ms. Healy.”
River smiled.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting, she said, taking a seat next to Greta. “Thank you for inviting me to dinner.”
Greta poured water for River gracefully. “Don’t mention it. We appreciate you not charging us extra.
Allow me to introduce my husband.”
River exchanged greetings with the man and said, “Hello.”
The surprise in Thomas‘ eyes gradually gave way to a smile tinged with affection. “You’re young and already so successful in your career, Ms. Healy. If the opportunity arises, I’d like my daughter to learn from you.”
River replied, “You’re too kind…”
Noah arrived ten minutes late in the adjacent private room.
He had tasked someone with checking Daniella’s recent whereabouts on his way to the restaurant.
She had attempted to visit the school before Axel’s medical results were available, but security had stopped her. Later, she had inquired about leukemia treatment at the hospital, appearing extremely anxious in surveillance footage and desperate after being rejected by a doctor.
Noah couldn’t gauge Daniella’s sincerity regarding Axel, However, he had no time for further contemplation as Axel’s condition could no longer be delayed.
Daniella was on the phone warily when Noah entered. She hastily ended the call upon seeing him and spoke gently. “You’re here, Noah.”
Noah sat across from Daniella. “I don’t have time for small talk. Let’s discuss the terms.”
Frowning, Daniella said, “I have no ulterior motives, Noah.”
“I can allow you to see Axel, but you must provide a specific timeframe for when you’ll leave.”
“I’ll leave once Axel has fully recovered, Noah, please let me care for him in memory of our deceased child.
Noah squinted at Daniella and retorted, “Remember, your child might not be mine. Don’t forget that you were with other men when you were with me!”
Daniella’s face froze as Noah exposed her. She stammered, “I’m… I’m sorry, Noah.”
“I’m not here to accept your apology. I can agree to your request, Noah said impatiently.
Eyes gleaming with hope, Daniella asked, ‘Really? Are you really going to let me take care of Axel?”
Noah watched Daniella closely, trying to discern her intentions. He replied coldly, “I’ll have a lawyer draw up an agreement. If I catch you harming Axel in any way during his recovery. I’ll personally take you to the police station,”
Daniella nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her swollen eyes. “I won’t do it again… I regret what I did, and I promise to take good care of Axel,”
Noah felt repulsed by Daniella’s appearance, but he had no choice but to tolerate it for now. Otherwise, she might refuse to provide the bone marrow.
“I have a request. Please don’t rush me to leave during Axel’s recovery period, okay?” Daniella said weakly, wiping her tears.
“Are you planning to move into Villa Rosa?” Noah asked with a frown.
Daniella pursed her lips. “No, I know you wouldn’t agree to that. I just want you to understand that I shouldn’t be rushed when I’m taking care of Axel.”
She had learned that Axel would need to stay in a sterile chamber for at least a month after the bone.
marrow transplant. If his condition improved, he might be discharged soon, but he’d still require six months of recovery with medication.
During that time, she intended to focus on caring for Axel and gaining Noah’s trust. Her ultimate goal was to become Casey’s wife after assisting him in overthrowing Noah.
Noah stood up and said firmly, “Sign the agreement. You must leave Axel within a year at most. I’ll have the lawyer include that in the agreement.”
Turning, Noah left the private room. As he walked toward the elevator, he spotted a familiar figure exiting another private room. It was River, and he wondered which pervert” she had been dining with.
Hurrying toward her, Evap noticed River turning a corner, only to collide with him as he reached her.
She staggered backward, but Noah quickly steadied her by the waist. Annoyed, he remarked, “Don’t you pay attention when you’re walking? You might have been taken advantage of if it were someone else.”
River looked up and pushed him away upon realizing who he was.
“Thank you,” she replied coldly before turning away.
Noah stood in her path, studying her expression. “Who were you having dinner with?”
“It’s none of your business!” River retorted before heading back to the private room. She had intended to go to the restroom but had forgotten her wet tissues, leading to this unexpected encounter with Noah.
Noah, however, grabbed her arm and warned, “Don’t associate with those kinds of perverts, and stay away from Casey.”
River yanked her arm free and glared at Noah. “I don’t need you meddling in my social life! You’re having dinner with Daniella, so don’t you dare meddle in mine!”
The mention of Daniella incensed River. “Noah, if you want to reconcile with Daniella, please return my son to me!”
I really think something is up with Scott, everything regarding Lily’s death and his accident is screaming deliberate involvement
Author please round up the novel soon, were getting bored of all the twists and turns.
