Emotions got the best of Ellen as she raised her voice. âWhat did they do to take Kev's heart away? Tell me!â
â| heard that the doctor told my parents to be ready to give up on him. They were about to remove the machine from Kevin when the Presgraves came.â Selena made an excuse for her parents.
âBut still! How could they take his heart away, by force at that! | canât believe that | didnât know about this all those years.â
Daggers pierced Ellen's heart. It pained her to know that her poor brother could not leave in peace.
âCalm down, Ellen. | bet Mr. Presgrave is on the way to see you. We should step back because weâre weaker.â
âMust we fear the strong ones just because we're poor and powerless? | will never step back from this! Ire had long prevailed over Ellenâs rationality. Now, the Presgrave Family was like a devil to her.
On the other hand, Selena sneered into the mirror in the hotel room. Her idea worked! If Ellen decided not to marry Jared and dwelled in the painful lie, she wouldnât be in a state to bother Selenaâs family.
The person who would need to face an infuriated Ellen was none other than Jared.
I'm sorry, Ellen. | just found out about it not long ago. Donât do anything stupid, okay?â Selena comforted Ellen pretentiously.
At this moment, both of them heard the doorbell ring, so Selena quickly wrapped it up. âIt must be Mr. Presgrave! Donât open the door, Ellen! Honestly, | still canât see through his intentions.â
Ellen terminated the call right away, and Selena pouted. Alas. Only if | could witness what's going on there with my own eyes.
Meanwhile, Ellen stared at the door while her hands formed into tight fists. Tears trickled down her cheeks, yet her heart was blazing in grief, hatred, and anger. They stirred her heart into turmoil, urging her to murder the man outside at this instant.
Still, she closed her eyes for a few seconds as the doorbell did not stop ringing. Next, she opened the door to reveal a huffing Jared, who was surprised to see her expression.
âEllen, what's wrong?â The girl standing in front of him had a resentful gaze. It was as if she was looking at her nemesis. Gritting her teeth, she pointed at his chest.
âDoes that belong to my brother?â He paused. âYou know about this? | was going to tell you. The donor was your brother. | just found out today!â
The more he thought about it on his way here, the guiltier he felt. However, he was grateful to God for bestowing such a fate to let him meet her, protect her, and love her.
Ellen suddenly burst into tears. Her body. teetered, and she almost fainted.
Noticing her pale complexion, Jared hurriedly hugged her waist to pull her into his arms. The dizzy Ellen shoved him away due to the strong repulse.
chapter there!
A tear-streaked Ellen gazed at him.
âWhy? Do you feel accepting his heart is a matter of a fact?â âNo, | feel guilty about it. | rushed all the way here to apologize to you,â he quickly explained.
