    Third-Person POVThe moment the car stopped, Anna threw open the door and ran into the hospital. Her usual polished image was the last thing on her mind.She rushed to Nancy's room, only to find all her belongings gone and the bed empty.When Anna spotted the doctor on duty, her voice rose. "Where's Nancy? Where is my daughter? She's sick."The doctor asked her to calm down before patiently explaining, "Ms. Green, Nancy has already been discharged. Didn't Mr. Pollard tell you? That's strange. He said he was transferring her to another hospital for treatment."Anna froze. She tried to ask what had happened, but no words came. She didn't even know which question to ask first.When she finally recovered enough to act, she called Jacob, her hand trembling.This time, he didn't answer. An automated voice came over the line instead.The way Anna had treated him in the car had frightened Tyler, but he still wanted to take Jacob's place. As the husband of Green Group's CEO, he would be

    Third-Person POVAnna had heard that accusation before. She had once called Jacob cruel and heartless for treating Tyler the same way.But now, she frowned at Tyler. "We had a deal. You promised to donate blood to Nancy as soon as the wedding was over. She needs you to save her life."No one forced you to sign that contract, and I've paid you more than enough over the years. How much longer are you going to stall?"Anna saw nothing cruel about her demand."But Anna, I still haven't recovered. My head is killing me," Tyler protested.Anna's face hardened. "You knew what you were agreeing to, Tyler. No matter what happens, you're donating the blood Nancy needs for her exchange transfusion. Even if you pass out, I'm still taking you to the hospital today."Her sudden change caught Tyler off guard.Before, all he had to do was complain that he felt sick. She would keep it from Jacob, and Nancy would miss another transfusion. But this time, Anna was determined to make him donate.I

As soon as the ceremony ended, she would publicly set the record straight.Tyler had also promised to donate enough blood for Nancy to undergo a complete exchange transfusion. Then Jacob and Nancy would understand why she had done all of this.Anna put on her wedding gown and arranged for the reporters to arrive early, ready for the statement she planned to make after the ceremony.Satisfied that everything was in place, she stepped onto the stage.The wedding was lavish, and nearly everyone in Asteridge knew Anna was getting married. Her groom was nothing more than a good-looking boy toy."Anna, I never thought I'd see you get married.""What else aren't you telling us? How did you two meet?""But what do you even see in Tyler? Sure, he's handsome, but is that really all it took to sweep you off your feet?"Anna's friends pressed her for

    Jacob's POVA week passed, and Nancy still showed no signs of waking up. I hadn't contacted Anna all week.The doctor told me Nancy no longer needed transfusions. She was living on nutrients delivered through an IV, and her hair had become dry and brittle.I had lost my job as a reporter and was planning to move Nancy to another hospital.When I went home to get some clean clothes, I opened the door and found Anna waiting on the couch. Apparently, she was done having fun. She acted as if none of it had ever happened.She stood and hugged me from behind. "Have you been at the hospital this whole time? Has Nancy missed me? I'll visit her one of these days."I said nothing and moved away from her.Anna looked annoyed when I acted as if she wasn't there. "Are you still angry? I had someone bury all the bad press, so you don't have to worry. I know none of this has been fair to you."Once Nancy gets better, we can all take a trip and get away for a while."She kept bringing Nancy i

    Jacob's POVBefore I could relax, another commotion erupted inside the room. Tyler hadn't even donated 100 milliliters when he suddenly cried out that he felt sick.He clutched his chest and winced. "Ms. Green, my chest hurts, and I'm really dizzy."I rushed to check the monitor, but all his readings were normal.Anna was clearly worried about him. She shoved the nurse's syringe aside. "Stop. He's given enough."She helped Tyler up and immediately tried to leave with him.I blocked her path, my eyes bloodshot. "Where are you taking him? You promised me. What about Nancy?"Anna shoved me aside. "Tyler isn't a blood bank. If he keeps giving blood, he's the one who'll end up in danger. Don't you care what happens to Nancy once he can't donate anymore?"Anna ignored my attempts to stop her and left with Tyler.I pressed myself against the wall, my heart pounding as I prayed that the blood Tyler had given would be enough to pull Nancy through. But how could 100 milliliters possibly
