NovelEnglishChapter 120
The hospital corridor reeked of antiseptic, cold and sterile.
Nolan stood outside the hospital room, watching his father's pale form through the glass window.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails cut into his palms, blood seeping through his fingers, though he
seemed to feel nothing.
His father slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Nolan with unmistakable disappointment and exhaustion.
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and weak, as if it took all his strength"Nolan, if you insist on being with
Aurelia, I'll strip you of your position at Creed Enterprises and adopt another son. You will no longer be the Creed
heir."
Nolan's fists tightened further, his knuckles turning white. His gaze remained steady and resolute, his voice
without a trace of hesitation "Dad, I'll give up everything."
"Nolan, do you have any idea what you're saying? You're the Creed heir, the head of Creed Enterprises! You'd
abandon your family responsibilities for a woman?"

Shock flashed across his father's face, quickly replaced by profound disappointment. He closed his eyes, as if he
couldn't bear to look at Nolan any longer "Go. Don't letsee you again."
Nolan said nothing more as he turned and left the room. His silhouette appeared solitary and determined, as if
prepared to face whatever cnext.
As he exited the hospital, Nolan ran directly into Evangeline.
Her face was pale, her eyes weary and pained.
After a moment of silent eye contact, Evangeline suddenly smiled, a bitter twist to her lips"Nolan, after all these
years, | still lost to Aurelia."
"Evangeline, I'm sorry. We should end things."
Tears immediately spilled from her eyes as she trembled "The truth is... | set Aurelia up many times. |

Nolan's pupils contracted sharply. His voice was rough with emotion "What did you say?"

Nolan's fists tightened further, his knuckles white with strain. His gaze was icy and piercing, his tone barely
containing his rage "Evangeline, you—"
But in the end, he said nothing more and simply turned to leave.
Everyone was guilty of something. He was. Aurelia was. What right did he have to condemn Evangeline?

will be happiness!"
Nolan kept walking without another word, striding purposefully out of the hospital.
The moment he stepped outside, Nolan felt an unprecedented sense of liberation.
He took out his phone and called his assistant"Find Aurelia immediately. Use whatever means necessary, but find
her."
On the other end, the assistant's voice trembled slightly"Mr. Creed, why... why are you looking for her?"
Nolan's brow furrowed, his tone impatient "Enough talk. Find her now!"
After a moment of silence, the assistants voice carried a note of hesitation"Mr...Creed, the truth is... Aurelia is
dead."
Nolan's heart plummeted, as if crushed by an invisible weight, making it difficult to breathe. His voice turned
hoarse "What?!!"
"The assistant's voice shook. ‘That day, when the blood was donated-it was her. They took too much blood, and
