Chapter 9

Three days later, the matching results were released.

The bad news was that all the members of the Jenner family did not meet the requirements. The good news was that a matching kidney source was found, and the other person had agreed to donate.

After learning this news, Celine called Harry, but he did not answer. She knew he must have been tirelessly searching for a suitable kidney source all over the world these days, so she went to the company headquarters herself.

As soon as she reached the office entrance, she heard several urgent voices inside.

"Harry, are you really going to donate a kidney to Juniper? You're now married to her niece, and Celine is pregnant with your child. You should let go of the past and cherish the present."

"Yeah, Juniper doesn't deserve all this from you. Have you considered the side effects after donating a kidney? Can't you think about Celine and the child about to be born?"

'Is it Harry who's donating a kidney to Juniper?' Celine's mind went blank for a moment, and she was almost unable to recover.

"No need to persuade me anymore. I'll donate this kidney. Not just one kidney, I'm even willing to donate my heart as long as it can save Juniper. As for Celine, she won't know about this. You need to keep it a secret and say that I went to Euronia for a project."

Celine's hand, which was about to knock on the door, gradually drooped.

'Harry, you… You're such a romantic. Don't worry, I'll completely back off. I wish you both a long and happy life together!' After thinking that, she took a deep breath and silently turned around to leave.

…

After getting home, she booked a flight to Aussen.

The next day, she woke up early because her divorce from Harry would finally be processed today.

She took a cab to the Civil Affairs Bureau, quickly retrieved her divorce certificate, and bought a gift box, placing the divorce certificate and the abortion surgery notice inside. Then, carrying the gift box and dragging her suitcase, she went to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived outside the VIP ward, she saw Harry looking at Juniper through the window. His eyes held complex emotions—joy, tears, pain, and endless love.

Celine stood behind him, staring at him for a long time before calling out hoarsely, "When does the surgery start?"

Harry turned around, and all the emotions on his face vanished when he saw that it was her. Only a gentle smile remained, and it was almost identical to his usual expression.

"The doctor said it would be in three hours, but I have to go on a business trip and won't be back for about a month. Celine, I'm sorry I can't be with you during this time."

This time, Celine still did not expose his lie. She calmly replied, "It's okay. I'll get used to it."

"Get used to what?" Harry found her words weird and could not help but ask again.

Instead of replying, Celine thought to herself, 'I'll get used to you not loving me, to you ignoring me, and to a life without you.'

Before she could speak, the doctor called.

Harry answered the phone and headed for the elevator. Celine stopped him and handed him the box. "Your birthday is in two weeks. This is your birthday present."

Harry did not open it but casually handed it to his assistant. "I'll open it on my birthday."

Celine said nothing but watched him walk away. Then, she turned away too.

While he was wheeled into the operating room to donate a kidney to Juniper, she went to the airport with her suitcase.

While he was under anesthesia and the surgery was about to begin, she waited to board her flight, deleting and clearing all her social media accounts, SIM card, and photo album.

While his surgery ended, her plane slowly took off.

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, she slowly smiled and thought, 'Harry, we'll be far apart from now on, never to meet again.'
