Recently, Lena had been in a constant state of distraction. Aaron’s decision to sever ties with the Aces weighed
heavily on her mind. He hadn't told her the reason, only saying that she would find out in due time.
She could live without knowing why, but she feared the fallout. When the truth cto light, she worried her
grandparents and her mother would crumble under the weight of the news, collectively breaking down.
Aaron had assured her he would handle everything, but she didn’t trust that he could shield the family from such
devastation.

you.”
The success of the surgery didn’t just save a life-it saved a family and spared a mother from lifelong regret. It
was also a beacon of hope for families facing similar challenges. This breakthrough wasn’t just medical; it was
profoundly emotional.
Ever since Aaron had told her about the brother she never met, Lena had cto realize how even an unborn
child could hold immense significance to a mother.
“You should thank yourself more,” Nate replied, bringing a smile to Lena's face.
