Chapter 1024

"Miley, sorry I'm late,” Jeremy apologized.

The middle-aged man gazed at his wife with bright eyes like a teen. Tearing up from guilt, he pulled

her into a hug and gently patted her trembling back while repeatedly mumbling in her ear, "Darling,

did you know how terrified I was when I heard you went to Tsulu alone? You were pretty fearless.

What would I do if anything happened to you?"

"Well, if something happens to me, you'll have to get yourself a new First Lady,” Miley joked as she

playfully snuggled against her husband and buried her blushed face in his chest.

She listened to his heartbeat, which calmed her down.

"What are you talking about?" Jeremy gently caressed her head, indulging in her soft and warm

scent. "I wouldn't be where I am without you. Nothing in my life would matter if you're gone, and I'd

gladly follow you."

"Never say that again, or I'll be upset.”

"Or I can be a priest and pray for you every day.”

Alyssa discreetly dabbed at her eyes upon witnessing the affectionate exchange between her sister

and Jeremy. She was happy for them and envious, hoping that one day, she could experience the

same.

She silently prayed, "Jasper, that's why you have to wake up. What will I do without you?"

In the urgent situation, Jeremy offered a brief greeting to everyone present and entered the

operating room to donate his blood. Alyssa sweated nervously, fixing her gaze on the doors of the

operating room

Jonah asked Miley with concern, "Miley, I remember Jeremy isn't in the pink of health. Will he be

fine donating a huge amount of blood to Jasper?"

"He'll be fine. I believe he can take it," Miley concealed the worry in her eyes and reassured

everyone.

Choking on tears, Alyssa hugged Miley without any words, but Miley understood Alyssa’s sentiment.

Beaming softly, Miley said, "It's only right that your brother-in-law saves my brother-in-law’s life.

Family should help each other out.”

Time agonizingly ticked by. It wasn't until dawn that the lights of the operating room sign finally

turned off, and the doors swung open.

Despite being sleep-deprived, everyone perked up and went up to the doctor. Heart racing, Alyssa

watched as an exhausted Julien emerged in blood-stained scrubs. He took off his surgical mask to

reveal a pale and weary face. His alluring eyes were bloodshot, and his scrubs were drenched in

sweat.

It pained Jonah to see Julien in a fatigued state. He silently grappled with inexplicable emotions.

"Dr. Lovelace, how's Jasper doing?" Alyssa croaked as her heart pumped wildly.

"Mr. Beckett—" After many hours of standing, Julien temporarily lost his balance from a brief

blackout.

"Dr. Lovelace!" Everyone gasped as Julien staggered. A figure rushed over to hold Julien without

hesitation.

Jonah whispered, "Watch out.”

Julien took a breath as he teared up under Jonah's worried gaze. His heart beat wildly, touched by

Jonah's concern.
