MasukSharon McKinzie's husband's first love was dying. He often said to Sharon, "Sharon, Kelly doesn't have much time left. Don't be petty and hold things against her." To make up for the regrets of his past, he traveled with Kelly—through mountains and rivers, beneath starlit skies and over distant seas. He even handed over the wedding they had planned—his and Sharon's—to Kelly Walt, without shame or hesitation. Even their five-year-old son clung to Kelly. "Mommy isn't even half as pretty as Kelly," he said. "Kelly's pretty. Why can't Kelly be my mommy?" Sharon decided to grant them their wish. She left behind the divorce papers and walked away without a word. Later, her ex-husband and son knelt before her—her ex-husband full of regret, her son's cheeks streaked with tears. "Honey… please come back to us." "Mommy… do you really not want us anymore?" Just then, a handsome man wrapped his arm around Sharon's waist. "There you are, honey," he said gently. "Our son's still at home, waiting for you to feed him."

She wasn't a professional caregiver, but she anticipated Thomas's needs with an almost uncanny precision. Thomas rarely had to ask—she would already have everything ready.At first, Jamie had been skeptical. Could such small attentions really win over someone as ruthless as Thomas? Sharon was capable of captivating so many men… maybe she had a way with them, a subtle skill for seduction.Yet after days of watching, he had seen nothing even remotely flirtatious between them. Whenever Sharon was occupied, she either relied on Liam or Doug, or let the nurses handle things. The closest to intimacy was a few days where she had fed Thomas herself.Jamie's curiosity deepened. Could a simple act like feeding him really make Thomas so devoted?Beyond that, Sharon often cooked for him, preparing meals and medicinal dishes suited to his needs. Thomas ate with evident enjoyment each time.Ja
Sharon gradually spread the colors of the sky across the canvas, letting the horizon bleed into a single, unified red. She continued painting the evening sky from the day Thomas had woken—a brilliant, fiery sunset.…In the distance, Jamie lowered his binoculars.Sharon had been painting for over two hours. Through it all, Thomas had watched, not once feeling bored or restless.Because Sharon painted toward the window, Jamie couldn't see exactly what she was creating. He let out a quiet, mocking laugh. "So pretentious," he muttered.Then he turned and noticed the painting Victoria had given him, displayed on the table. He had no desire to look at it now. Instead, a strange pull made him want to see MK's work.He picked up his phone and called his assistant. "When can MK's painting be delivered?"The assistant hesitated a moment. "Sir, MK only agreed recently. If they are painting it now… it will still take some time."Jamie realized it had been less than a week since MK had p
Sharon said, "Exactly. Claire's father wanted her to weasel her way into the Kalen family, ideally to marry in, so he orchestrated her and Silas's involvement."Claire Winter—the central figure in this whole affair—was undeniably shaped by her family's designs. In a sense, Silas wasn't entirely at fault. After all, many of the moves that followed were planned by her own family.The tragedy was, they had still underestimated the Kalen family's power and connections. The matter ultimately fizzled out, unresolved.Sharon had investigated and discovered that after being forced onto the operating table for an abortion, Claire had sustained injuries that might make it difficult for her to conceive in the future. She had been treated like a pawn, pushed and pulled, and in the end, only she bore the cost. Claire hated Silas and her own family for it.That was why Claire had chosen to escalate things. Her aim was not just revenge against Silas, but a reckoning with her own family as well.
Sharon thought of the injustices she had endured with Kelly. Carter had always leaned on her sense of debt to make her yield, to force her into endless compromise. She understood that feeling all too well. That was why she had promised herself she would never become another Carter.Yet Thomas's words left her unsettled."You don't feel wronged?" she asked.He smiled softly. "Sharon, I don't feel wronged at all. If I can use myself to repay all your debts, so that you owe nothing to anyone, I will do it gladly."Her pupils quivered slightly. "Thomas, you really shouldn't have to bear this for me."He shook his head gently. "True concession, real sacrifice, is only suffering when given to someone unworthy. If someone is worthy, even giving your life feels sweet."Then he added, "Sharon, from now on, you will owe Julliard nothing. Do you understand?"Heat rose in her eyes; her throat felt tight. Julliard had been good to her, and he had helped her in so many ways. But to repay hi
