Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 1631 - Bab 1640

Perhaps worried that Aron and Rachel might misunderstand, Michelle quickly explained that theoretically, parents with AB and O blood types could give birth to children of any blood type.Just then, Michelle’s mother came walking down the corridor from the other end. Her forehead was bandaged—clearly injured.Michelle hurried over, and her mother reassured her not to worry. She was fine now, and someone had already agreed to donate blood—her father was going to be okay.Michelle finally breathed a sigh of relief.At that moment, Channing’s mother spotted Aron and Rachel standing not far away, surprise flashing across her face—clearly not expecting to run into them here.Aron walked over with Rachel and politely greeted her.Channing’s mother asked why they were here.Aron explained that he and Rachel were en route to Norway for their honeymoon. While waiting for their connecting flight, Rachel heard the emergency broadcast and wanted to donate blood. They only remembered afterward that

Only then did Naomi realize—most girls in her situation would’ve been pale with fear and shaking by now.She might’ve been a little too calm…She flashed Jax a small smile. “Being scared doesn’t help. What’s meant to come will come.”Before her father’s downfall, she and her mother had lived on the edge alongside him.Assassinations, kidnappings, car crashes, fires—things normal people might never face in a lifetime, she’d experienced them all.After her father was arrested, all their assets were seized or frozen.Her mother took her and moved out of their luxurious villa into a run-down old neighborhood.Her mom, pampered by a life of luxury, couldn’t take the fall from grace. For a while, she just drifted through life in a daze.When she finally came to terms with reality, a new problem arose: she had no work experience, no real skills—aside from being pretty, she had nothing going for her.After trudging through a period of hardship, her mom eventually caught the eye of the man who

Naomi froze for a moment, her heart tightening. The words felt strangely familiar.In the past, they would always be followed by, "Call me when you get there."She turned to look at Jax, but he was still focused on his work, not even lifting his head. Naturally, he didn’t say the second part of the sentence; after all, he wasn’t Keith...Naomi, however, responded as she always did: "I know, stop nagging!"Jax raised an eyebrow and looked up at her.She smiled at him, grabbed her car keys, and walked out the door.When the door closed behind her, Jax’s gaze returned to the screen of his tablet.He tried to focus on his work, but his mind kept drifting.The words Naomi had said, the "stop nagging" comment, echoed in his ears, bringing back countless memories.When his younger sister was still alive, because she was blind, she couldn’t go anywhere alone without Jax constantly reminding her to be careful.But his sister had always been independent, and since birth, she had been used to th

Jax shared with Seraphina all the findings from his investigation.Despite Seraphina being mentally prepared and suspecting that the reason Ryan had avoided using Bennett as a lead was to conceal some truths—likely the dishonorable cause of her parents' deaths—she never imagined that her parents and the master's parents had actually known each other. The truth exceeded her expectations and left her somewhat stunned.Everything seemed as if it had been predestined…Seraphina’s father came from a banking family, originally starting a pawnshop before later opening a private bank and an auction house. Seraphina's mother was from a scholarly family, a true noblewoman and lady.Before Seraphina was born, her parents had been very close friends with the master's parents. At the time, the master's father wanted to invest in a major business project, and Seraphina’s father acted as the guarantor, taking out a large loan from the bank. The project operated well for a time, until the master's pa

Jax didn’t know why Naomi had gotten up—only that drunk people often lost control of their actions and could easily get hurt. So he stayed still, straining to listen for any sounds outside.After a while, he heard the sliding door of the outer bathroom open—its track made a soft noise. The guest room didn’t have its own bathroom, so she’d likely just gotten up to use the toilet.A few minutes later, Naomi came out.Knowing she was fine, Jax let himself relax and tried to fall back asleep.But just as he closed his eyes, the master bedroom door creaked open. He turned around, surprised to see the girl quietly walking toward him.In the dim room, her figure was only a blur. She approached the bed without a word.He opened his mouth to ask what was wrong, but before he could say anything, she’d already climbed into bed and slipped under the covers. Without any hesitation, she rested her head on his arm.Jax froze.Then he realized—she must be completely out of it from the alcohol. After
