Chapter 453 I Can Help You

“I can promise you that,” Evan assured. “However, you must behave and cooperate with the doctor

during your treatment.”

Axel felt a wave of relief and nodded vigorously. He was willing to do whatever it took, as long as

his father kept his promise not to inform his mother.

After leaving Grand East, Daniella drove to Villa Foresta. Upon arriving, she parked her car and

entered the living room to find Casey resting there.

She greeted him with a warm smile, saying, “I’m back, Casey.”

Casey opened his eyes and looked at Daniella gently. “How’s Axel?”

Daniella blurted out, “It’s a bone marrow issue,” as she sat beside Casey.

Casey paused, puzzled. “Bone marrow?”

Daniella quickly realized her mistake and corrected herself, saying, “He needs a bone marrow

transplant.”

She was startled, fearing that Casey might discern she knew his true identity. She decided to

keep this information to herself until their relationship had solidified, worried that Casey might

turn against her.

Casey averted his gaze. “With enough resources, finding a suitable donor should be

straightforward. I’m concerned Evan will face difficulties despite having money.”

Daniella cautiously asked, “So, you’re considering cutting off Evan’s access to bone marrow?”

Casey met Daniella’s eyes with a faint smile. “What do you think?”

“That would give me leverage with Evan!” Daniella exclaimed. ‘If I possess something that can

save Axel’s life, something Evan doesn’t have, he’ll surely welcome me back.”

Casey nodded approvingly. “I can assist you with this. You can focus on other tasks with

peace of

mind.”

Daniella was elated. “I’ll stay close to Evan for you!”

Later that night, Neil ordered Caroline and Paige to return home and rest.

Paige quickly succumbed to sleep in the car’s backseat despite Caroline’s attempts to wake her.

They arrived at Bayview Villa, where the children eagerly greeted Caroline.

Paige, still groggy, asked, “Are we home, Carol?”

Caroline held the children’s hands and replied, “Yes, we’re home. Come inside.”

Paige stepped out of the car, yawned, and followed Caroline into the villa. She then lay down on

the sofa and fell asleep.

Liora wanted to greet Paige, but Caroline stopped her. “Don’t disturb your godmother, Lia. She

hasn’t slept all night.”

Confused, Liora asked, “Why not?”

Tyler sensed something was amiss when he saw Caroline dressed in black. “Who passed away,

Mommy?”

Caroline’s heart ached, but she composed herself and knelt to speak softly. “Lia, Ty, I have

something to tell you, Lily has passed away.”

Liora and Tyler were shocked, their eyes welling up with tears.

Liora’s voice quivered as she asked, “Wasn’t she still in the hospital? How did…

Unable to contain her grief, Liora began to sob. “Mommy, please don’t make this kind of joke. It’s

not nice!”

Tyler remained silent but teary–eyed, waiting for Caroline to explain.

Caroline hugged her children tightly. “Lily didn’t make it through surgery. I’m sorry I couldn’t

save her.”

Liora cried loudly, and Tyler buried his head in Caroline’s shoulder, both mourning their loss.
