Hadnât he always been yielding to her?
It wasnât she who caused his motherâs operation; it was Dianaâs agitation.
Serenity hadnât let her own disability weigh too heavily on her, but Diana was too fragile.
Diana could only blame herself for not being strong enough.
Wearing a forced smile, Serenity conceded, âWell then, Iâll return to the ward first.
â
Darwin averted his gaze from Serenity.
Her eyes narrowed in response.
Darwin was her last hope, and she remained determined not to give up on him.
As Serenity departed, Freddie couldnât withhold his remark.
âDarwin, is this the woman youâve sought?â
Darwin remained silent.
Leaning against the wall, he silently gazed at the operating room door.
Four hours elapsed before the doctor emerged, removing his mask.
âThe surgery was successful, but she must avoid future stimulation.
After two hours of observation, if all is well, weâll transfer her to the regular ward.
â
Freddie sighed in relief.
âDad!â Darwinâs hoarse voice appealed to Freddie.
Freddie sneered, âIf you still consider me your father, end things with that woman.
We canât accept someone like her.
Darwin, you must choose between your parents and this woman.
â
Darwin yearned to respond, but Freddie dismissed him with a wave, indicating an end to the conversation.
Confirming Dianaâs stable condition, Darwin returned to Serenityâs ward.

He walked in and closed the door behind him.
Serenity, biting her lips, inquired, âDarwin, youâre here to end things, arenât you?â
A sudden urge for a cigarette overcame Darwin.
Leaning against the door, he spoke softly after a prolonged pause, âIn a way.
Serenity, the truth is, we never truly started a relationship, so breaking up isnât even applicable.
â
Serenityâs expression gradually turned cold.
After a brief silence, she uttered sharply, âAdmit it, Darwin.
The person youâve always liked is Alexis, isnât it?â
Darwin gazed silently at the woman before him.
Though an object of his pity, he had no love left for his ex-wife.
His feelings were laid bare in this moment.
Serenity said with a faint smile, âIâve been aware for some time now.
â
She embraced him suddenly and whispered, âWe could work together! You could give the child a legal identity.
Once Leonel and Alexis grow weary of each other, you could pursue Alexis.
Meanwhile, I, with this child, would be with Leonel.
Isnât this plan mutually beneficial?â
