Aaron held her back gently with one hand on her shoulder. "You said you saw Evelyn. Is it true?" The brightness in Cynthia's eyes vanished instantly, like a bulb short-circuiting. She knew Aaron was here because of Evelyn Vance.
Aaron had two sisters: Vivian and Evelyn. Seven years ago, Evelyn had suddenly fallen gravely ill and needed a kidney transplant. It was during the compatibility testing that Cynthia Lynwood met Evelyn. Through Evelyn, she had the chance to meet Aaron, and the moment she laid eyes on him, she was hopelessly smitten. Those days were the happiest of her life, marred only by the worry that she would have to donate her kidney to Evelyn. It was her only way to earn the right to exchange a few words with Aaron. Evelyn, seeing her interest in Aaron, promised that once she recovered, she would play matchmaker for them. To Cynthia, the kidney was a means to an end, a transaction. She agreed to donate, and Evelyn agreed to facilitate her romance with Aaron. But the surgery went awry, and Evelyn died on the operating table. Even in her final moments, Evelyn had a shred of decency, clasping Aaron's hand and making him promise to take care of Cynthia. Aaron vowed he would, and he did though only materially. After that, she never saw him again.
Desperate, she prayed for a twist of fate, and five years ago, it seemed the heavens had heard her. Her remaining kidney failed, and with her health deteriorating rapidly, she was rushed to the ER. The first face she saw upon waking was Aaron's, etched with worry. At that moment, she felt a surge of hope.

But then, Serena appeared, a thunderbolt out of the blue. At that time, Serena wasn't Aaron's girlfriend yet, but she was determined to win his heart, knitting sweaters, scarves, and gloves for him. Every tAaron visited Cynthia, he wore Serena's handmade gifts, especially a blue scarf-loose, misshapen, and downright ugly. That's how Cynthia knew Serena had made them. Yet Aaron didn't seem to mind. When asked, he'd reply coolly, "A gift from someone who has a crush on me," but Cynthia detected a hint of fondness in his voice.
Panic-stricken, she hired people to keep tabs on Serena. Using her health as an excuse, she asked Aaron to knit for her, buy her presents, and stay in the Federation of Faircrest to keep her company. She even flaunted Aaron's gifts to provoke Serena. Despite her efforts, she couldn't break Aaron and Serena apart. They were even on the verge of marriage.
last night, whea Snapping back to the present, Cynthia looked at the anxious Aaron before her. She nodded slowly. "Yes, last night, while I was walking by the sea, I saw someone whose silhouette looked just like Evelyn's."
"Where? Takethere!" Aaron was eager not to waste another moment.
