Chapter 219
Serena's surgery took three hours, but her spleen was saved. She was now transferred to a recovery room. The
anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, so she was still unconscious. Maria sat by the bed, tears streaming as she looked
at Serena's pale face.
"My poor Rena. She's been through so much, Maria sobbed as she wiped her tears with her sleeve. "If | hadn't
taken Rena to the restaurant, this wouldn't have happened. | was so clueless that | didn't even notice. If | had
realized sooner, none of this would've happened." Saying this, Maria slapped herself hard across the face.
"Marial" Paisley quickly reached out to stop her before she could slap herself again.
"Paisley. | feel terrible. | just can't stand it, Maria sobbed uncontrollably.
Seeing Maria's torn clothes, scratches on her face, and messy hair, Paisley felt a pang of sadness. "Maria, you did

It was just bad luck that Serena's abdomen hit something hard during the chaos, and the strong impact caused
her spleen to rupture. Thankfully, her spleen was ultimately saved. With proper rest, she would recover without
major issues. Paisley looked at Maria and said. "So really, this isn't your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's me. I've
been
neglecting Rena because of work. You only wanted to make her happy by taking her to that restaurant, didn't
you?"
Whenever Paisley thought about how her
job almost cost her the chance to see Serena again, she was filled with fear.
And of all days, today had to be the one when she was finishing the most
important part of her script, working tirelessly without eating or sleeping.
It just so happened that today, her phone had run out of battery, and she didn't even realize it. As a result, she
missed so many calls from Maria.
And also today, the explosion caused Serena to suffer a ruptured spleen, requiring an urgent blood transfusion,
forcing her to reveal Serena's true blood type in front of Dominick and the Vanderbilt family.
It felt as if everything was preordained. But so what? Nothing would change. In the future, her life and Serena's
life wouldn't change either.
At that moment, a doctor walked into the ward and politely said to Paisley, "I'm here to check on Serena's
condition."
Seeing that it was the doctor who performed Serena's surgery, Paisley didn't think much of it. She didn't notice
that while examining Serena's condition, the doctor discreetly took a few strands of Serena's hair. The condition
looks good. She should wake up in a little while. Once awake, she might feel spain from the wound, the
doctor advised before leaving the room.

After the doctor left, Paisley realized she hadn't seen Max in a while. It seemed like he disappeared after Rena
returned to the ward. Paisley wanted to thank him properly for his help today.
"Maria, have you seen Max?" she asked Maria, hoping to shift Maria's focus away from her guilt.
Sobbing and wiping her tears, Maria replied, "I didn't notice. | was just looking at Rena the whole time. Maybe he
went home?"
Paisley nodded. "Probably went home. She didn't overthink it. They were just neighbors-
if he saw that everything was fine, it made sense for him to leave.
"Maria, maybe you should go htoo," Paisley said, noticing how disheveled Maria looked and feeling bad
about making her stay.
Knowing Maria would refuse, Paisley continued, "Go home, take a shower, change your clothes, and get some
sleep. Also, pack sclean clothes for Rena and bring them over tomorrow morning, okay?"
