His every word felt like fireworks exploding in her ears.
Her heart stuttered in her chest. She began to sob uncontrollably. The pain was unbearable.
Her vice-like grip wrinkled Ethan’s T-shirt that was soaked in her tears.
“It’s okay. I’m here. It’s over now, Janet.” Ethan hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped her tears. He
peppered kisses across her cheek and lips to comfort her.
Janet looked at him through her teary eyes, and her nose had turned red. She was so vulnerable at the
moment that she shrank in his arms.
She wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck and cried, “What do I do now, Ethan? I have severed all
ties with my adoptive parents, and Hannah is in fatal danger now. I feel like I have no one in this world.
Nobody wants me.”
Janet felt abandoned and helpless. Living in a world without any hope or anyone to hold on to was
tragic.
Janet wasn’t an optimistic person. She always pretended to be strong and happy to protect herself from
the world.
“You still have me. I’ll always be with you.” Ethan pulled her closer into his arms. He meant every word
he said.
Janet pressed her face closer against his neck and continued to sob silently. She clung to him for dear
life.
She didn’t know how and since when she started trusting Ethan. But at the moment, the man was her
savior.
He continued to stroke her back comfortingly.
After crying out her emotions, Janet leaned against Ethan’s chest, wrapping her arms around his waist.
She felt sleepy.
As she closed her eyes, Ethan pulled the jacket tighter, covering Janet’s neck, and kissed the top of her
head. “Forget everything and sleep.”
When Janet woke up again, it was already midnight. She was lying on the bed in her room. It looked
like Ethan had carried her into the house.
A nightmare woke her up.
She wanted to close her eyes and sleep again but couldn’t.
Her mind was filled with thoughts about Hannah. She tossed and turned on the bed all night.
The next morning, Janet walked out of the room. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy.
After she called her company and took a leave of absence, Janet went to the bathroom to brush her
teeth. She planned to go to the hospital to see if they had found another suitable liver for Hannah.
“Your phone is ringing.” Ethan knocked on the bathroom door and came in with Janet’s phone. A frown
lined his forehead when he saw Janet’s tired eyes.
Janet answered the phone and quickly turned her head. She looked haggard today and didn’t want
Ethan to see her in this state.
“Hello, Miss Lind? I’m a nurse from the municipal hospital. I’m calling to tell you that the liver that was
originally assigned for Hannah Stone is available again. The liver transplantation operation will be
performed as scheduled.”
“Oh, okay, okay. That’s great!” At first, Janet was overjoyed. But later, she remembered what they had
done earlier. “Didn’t you say the patient decided to continue with his treatment? What happened now?”
She wondered which corrupt doctor in the hospital had secretly colluded with Fiona.
“Well…” The nurse sounded embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said, “Well, I just called to inform
you that the surgery will be performed as planned.”
Janet hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment’s thought, she turned to look at
Ethan. “How did you make it?”
Ethan rubbed the back of his neck nonchalantly. “Well, I know a few people working in the hospital.”
Janet examined his face. Ethan’s eyes were droopy, and his hair was a mess. He was leaning against
the sink, brushing his teeth.
Somehow, Janet sensed something was wrong. She didn’t believe him.
After all, she believed Ethan was just a common man. How could he know more influential people than
Fiona did?
