Chapter 103 "Yes, you heardright. I did it on purpose. If you want your precious Cynthia safe and sound, not getting upset, then you better call off our wedding. Otherwise, if she gets so mad she ends up in a worse state, you'll be the one feeling sorry!" Aaron rubbed his temples, trying to stay calm. "Serena, do you realize Cynthia ended up in the emergency room? She's in recovery and can't handle any stress right now." Serena's expression shifted slightly before she let out a cold laugh. "If you care about her that much, then cancel the wedding already!" Aaron clenched his fists, frustration boiling over. "How did you becso unreasonable? We're talking about a life here, a living, breathing life!" "Unreasonable?!" Serena's voice rose, matching his intensity. "When you askedto donate a kidney, did you ever stop to think that I, too, have a life?" "But donating a kidney won't kill you!" Serena looked at Aaron, her smile spreading slowly like ripples across water. "Right, I'm indestructible, invincible, while Cynthia Lynwood is a fragile porcelain doll, needing all the care in the world." Aaron's eyes darkened with regret. "That's not what I meant. I just thought..." "Mr. Vance," Serena's gaze turned icy, "it's getting late. Do you have anything else to say?" Aaron hesitated, words failing him.
"If not, then you can leave!" Turning her back on him, Serena lay down.
Her indifferent figure offered no warmth or comfort.
Aaron stood silently for a moment before finally leaving the room.
Under the moonlit room, Serena's face was damp with tears.
It turns out, even if you stop loving someone, the heart can still ache.
The next day, Serena woke up at ten.
It was the day she was discharged from the hospital.

"Mr. Vance is probably busy with company matters, which is why he couldn't cto pick you up," Olivia said as she opened the car door for Serena, attempting to explain Aaron's absence.
Serena remained silent.
Yesterday, Cynthia Lynwood's condition had worsened to the point of needing emergency care, so it was clear where Aaron's priorities lay.
"Just dropoff at the first intersection," Serena instructed the driver once she was in the car.
She had plans to pick up a vase today.
Director Thomas had informed her that the owner of the vase was offering a price higher than market value.
If she could restore it, she'd earn a handssum.
Serena loved restoring antiques, and she loved money.
At the first intersection, the driver let Serena out.
"Miss Sullivan, will you be hfor lunch?" Olivia inquired.
"No." She was keen to avoid Rosewood Gardens at all costs now.
If it weren't for the unresolved kidney donation issue with Cynthia Lynwood, Serena would have left Alderburg already.
"Alright." Olivia closed the car door, and it drove away slowly.
Only then did Serena hail a cab to the address Director Thomas, kad given e.
her. A quaint café.
The moment she stepped inside, the aroma of coffee enveloped her senses.

"This way, please," a staff member dressed in a classic dress guided Serena to a private room. Inside was a stunningly beautiful coffee artist waiting.
Serena took a seat, her gaze sweeping over the room.
It was elegantly traditional.
The room was filled with various antiques, each with its own history.
Clearly, the café's owner was no ordinary person.
Serena's curiosity piqued about the vase's mysterious owner.
Just then, she heard a peculiar sound outside-like the rolling of wheels.
She was intrigued when three figures simultaneously appeared at them doorway Her eyes widened slightly when she saw William sitting in a wheelchair.
