Horace didn't pull away. He just let her vent her frustration.He lay back down on the bed and wrapped Brittany gently in his arms. "Do you remember Wendy?"Brittany nodded. "Yes, I remember.""She has amazing medical skills. She's the wonder doctor, Dr. Ceylan. She even cured Angela's legs."Brittany smiled brightly. "Really? That's fantastic! I never expected her to be that skilled. For some reason, whenever I see that young woman, I feel this urge to get close to her—but I don't feel the same with Jessica."In truth, Horace felt the same way. However, the DNA test confirmed Jessica was their biological daughter.Horace studied the fatigue in Brittany's pale eyes. "I'll call Wendy and ask her to come take a look at you."Brittany hesitated. "Do you think she'll come? I've only met her once."Horace shrugged. "Let me make the call and see."He picked up his phone.Brittany looked up at him. "You really seem to care about me, although I'm your ex-wife."Horace tightened his

Brittany gasped sharply, her breath catching. "Horace, are you crazy? If you give your cardiogen, you're as good as dead! I don't want you trading your life for mine. You don't have to do this, and I don't want to owe you that much!"Horace didn't look at Brittany. His gaze was fixed on Wendy. "Let's get started."Brittany grabbed his arm tightly. "No, I don't want you to do this! Do you hear me? Wendy, don't listen to him. I won't agree!"Wendy watched the tense pair and let out a small, knowing smile. "Mr. Larson, there's no rush to cure Ms. Brewer. I can give her an injection to temporarily suppress the poison inside her. But since you've decided to make this sacrifice, you probably have many things to settle. After all, you have a vast business empire and a huge inheritance to manage. How about this—why don't you go home and put your affairs in order first, then come back when you're ready for the treatment?"Wendy was giving Horace time to get his affairs in order, to prep

Ida was stunned. "Horace, how could you hit Jessica? She's your daughter!"Jessica clutched her sore cheek, her voice trembling. "I can't believe you hit me! Why would you do that?"Horace's face turned ashen, his eyes cold and sharp as he stared at Jessica. "I think I've spoiled you way too much. Now, you're even criticizing your mother? Brittany's your biological mother. She almost died giving birth to you! You're so selfish—you only ever think about yourself. Just because your mother didn't give you what you wanted, you want to swap her out? Don't you understand what family means?"This was the first time Horace had ever lost his temper in such a manner. Both Jessica and Ida froze in shock. No one dared to make a sound.Jessica's tears finally broke through. "Dad—""Don't call me Dad! I'm so disappointed in you!" Horace snarled, then stormed upstairs and locked himself in the study.Soon after, his butler arrived and went up to the study as well.Jessica, feeling panic ri

But now, Horace actually found a way to save Brittany, though it came at a terrifying price of his own life. This unexpected move completely blindsided Ida, flipping the situation from her favor to one where she had no control.She absolutely could not let Horace save Brittany. Horace belonged to her!If Horace sacrificed himself to save Brittany and then left all his fortune to her, Ida would be left with nothing.All these years of careful scheming, all the youth she had wasted on Horace—all would have been for naught!Could a villa and some money ever make up for that?Ida looked down on such things.What she wanted was Horace himself, the title of Mrs. Larson, and every last dollar of his fortune.She was convinced that all of it should go to her, and her alone. Ida stepped into Jessica's room, where Jessica was trying on custom gowns she had just received. The past three years as the daughter of the richest man had left her spending recklessly.Since Wendy had arrived in

Ida had a soft, delicate face that was strikingly beautiful.She was brimming with confidence. Tonight, she was sure she would win Horace over.-Horace was working late in his study. Now that he had decided to give his life for Brittany, there was a mountain of work demanding his attention.Soon, a sudden heat flushed through his body. He reached up and tugged at the buttons of his shirt, yet the warmth wouldn't subside.He stood and retreated to his bedroom, where he took a cold shower.Instead of cooling him down, the cold water only seemed to fan the fire burning inside him. The heat grew stronger and more relentless.Dressed in black silk pajamas, Horace sat on the edge of his bed and reached for his phone, intending to call his assistant.Just then, the edge of the blanket on the bed shifted, and Ida slipped out from under the covers. She was fresh from her bath, her cheeks flushed pink. Her eyes glimmered with tender longing as she looked at Horace."Horace..." she call
