Chapter 10

Author: The Pearl Kid
Serena suddenly tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in her abdomen made her gasp and collapse back onto the bed.

She took the documents, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

It was a thick stack.

The divorce agreement demanded that she leave empty-handed, citing her “fraud through concealing an existing child.”

And her company…

Another document revealed that Lucas had sold all 35% of his shares yesterday, cashing out entirely.

The news sent the stock plummeting forty percent, triggering an

    When he spotted Serena, he instinctively shrank behind Mary.“Ethan,” Serena’s voice trembled as she crouched down. “It’s Mom. I’ve come to see you…”Ethan looked at me, and I gave a gentle nod. Slowly, he stepped out, still keeping his distance from his mother.“Ethan,” Serena said, her eyes red, “I was wrong. I was really wrong. Will you forgive me? I promise I’ll only love you from now on… only you…”Ethan listened quietly, clutching his Transformers toy tightly. After a long pause, he spoke softly, “Mom, is Noah better now?”Serena froze, quickly nodding. “He’s better. I gave him my kidney. He’s healthy now…”“Oh.”Ethan lowered his head, brushing the carpet with his shoe. “Then, Mom… Will you always stay with Noah and that man?”“No. Mom will only stay with you, Ethan. Only with you and Daddy!” Serena said urgently.Ethan lifted his head. His eyes, so much like mine, held a serenity beyond his years.“But Mom,” he whispered, “I don’t want to forgive you.”Sere

    Serena suddenly tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in her abdomen made her gasp and collapse back onto the bed. She took the documents, her hands trembling uncontrollably.It was a thick stack.The divorce agreement demanded that she leave empty-handed, citing her “fraud through concealing an existing child.”And her company…Another document revealed that Lucas had sold all 35% of his shares yesterday, cashing out entirely. The news sent the stock plummeting forty percent, triggering an automatic trading halt at the morning open. Inquiry letters flooded in from multiple partners, banks called relentlessly, and five key team members—veterans who had followed Lucas for years—had already submitted resignations.“He’s trying to crush me…” Serena felt the world darken before her eyes, her chest tight, struggling to breathe.James watched her pale face cautiously and said, “Actually… Maybe this is for the best. After the divorce, Noah won’t be illegitimate anymore, we can—”“Can

    I held Ethan, who was already asleep, as I watched the city blur past the window.“Mr. Drake,” Liam turned in the front seat, lowering his voice, “the hospital just sent word. “Ms. Serena… She's undergoing a kidney match. Looks like she intends to donate her kidney to Noah.”I raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.Cornered, driven by guilt, humiliated in front of everyone, desperate to salvage some maternal dignity—these motives alone could push her to make such a decision.“I see,” I replied evenly. “Keep me updated.”Then I lowered my gaze to Ethan’s sleeping face. His lashes still held traces of tears, his brow lightly furrowed, unrest shadowing even his dreams.“Ethan,” I whispered, knowing he couldn’t hear, “I may do something that will make you sadder—but I have to. When you’re older, I hope you understand.”The car entered Willowridge Estate, where my father lived.He was waiting at the gate. Seeing me carrying Ethan, he hurried over, his worry easing slightly as he glan

    Serena stood frozen, her face pale.I held Ethan in my arms, gently patting his back, whispering in his ear:“Baby, it’s time for us to go.”Ethan buried his face in my neck, his little shoulders trembling.I didn’t glance at Serena again. I turned, carrying Ethan through the crowd gathered at the doorway.At the elevator, I looked back one last time.Through the open hospital room door, I saw Serena trying to approach the sobbing Noah, while James floundered helplessly beside him.Some onlookers held up their phones; nurses were trying to disperse the crowd.Serena seemed to sense my gaze and lifted her head sharply, eyes meeting mine across the distance for a brief instant.The elevator doors opened.I stepped inside with Ethan, the doors closing slowly behind us, cutting off that chaotic world.“Dad,” Ethan whispered, “does Mom not want me anymore?”“It’s not that she doesn’t want you,” I kissed the top of his head, softening my voice. “She made a wrong choice, Ethan

    Serena straightened her back, as if reclaiming some lost courage.“Yes,” she admitted, her voice steady, “I wronged you, I know that—but Noah is also my son. “I cannot stand by and watch him die. You can hit me, yell at me, I’ll take it—but the surgery must go on.”“Must go on?” I repeated the words, then laughed.The sound echoed through the silent hospital room, carrying a manic edge of mockery.Serena shivered, unsettled by my laughter. “What are you laughing at?”…“I’m laughing at your stupidity,” I said, stopping mid-laugh, my gaze icy. “Serena, since I dare stand here, do you think I would leave Ethan alone in the operating room?”Her pupils constricted sharply.“Ethan,” I raised my voice toward the doorway, “come in and say hi to Mom.”The hospital room door opened slowly.Ethan stood timidly at the entrance, wearing the little blue suit I had carefully dressed him in that morning.His eyes were red, evidence of recent tears.Behind him, the man my father had

    The air in the hospital room seemed to freeze.James’s face went pale instantly, and he instinctively pulled Noah closer to shield him.“Lucas…”Serena stepped forward, her voice dry. “What are you doing here? I thought you went to the company—”“Why am I here?” I interrupted, my voice unnervingly calm even to myself. “My son is being taken to the hospital for surgery. As his father, shouldn’t I be here?”“No, you’ve misunderstood.”She tried to explain frantically, sweat beading on her forehead. “Ethan was only having a routine checkup. Noah’s condition is special. I just—”“Just what?”I took a step forward. The sound of my leather shoes striking the floor rang sharply in the deathly quiet room.“You just happen to need a kidney? Just happen to find that my son is a match? Just happen to hide it from me, planning to take one of my son’s kidneys today?”“It’s not like that!”Serena’s voice shot up, sharp with the fury of being exposed. “It’s a transplant! It’s to
