Madelyn could only belong to him, and only him...
A week had passed, and Zach had been lying next to her. He did not dare to make any big movements as he held her close.
Zach had never expected that Madelyn would leave him.
He had neither power nor money back then, so he could not provide her with the best. Now that he finally had everything, he could easily give her whatever she wanted.

If you had never met him, you'd be mine forever." At midnight, Kai returned to his office, drained. He noticed light seeping through the door crack, and he immediately turned cautious.
He pushed the door open and saw Lana lying on the sofa, appearing to be asleep. Then, his alertness went away.
Lana was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt an itch on her face. She opened her eyes and was met with a pair of affectionate, almond-shaped eyes. Kai was scrutinizing her with his dark gaze. When their eyes met, Kai brushed her hair aside and said in a gentle voice, "You can go to the lounge to sleep next time." Lana instantly woke up and was shocked when she saw the bruise on Kai's face. She sat up straight and avoided his gaze.
Then, she hurriedly fixed her hair and said, "Took you long enough. Can we proceed with the surgery now? Don't forget what you promised me." "| don't have the time now," Kai said.
Lana glowered at him and threw the pillow she had been holding at him, "How could you go back on your word? Y-You said that you'd save him if | slept with you!" Kai chuckled, "How could you ever believe anything a pervert like me say?" Lana's face turned extremely pale. Kai's words felt like a hard slap across her face. She felt so humiliated that her fingers trembled.
Lana was at a loss for words.
Kai's heart softened when he saw tears welling up in Lana's eyes, "I was just joking with you. Did you take it seriously? "Andrew will be fine. I'l make arrangements for the surgery once I'm free." Lana wiped away her tears silently, "Okay. Tell me, how much longer do | have to wait?" "Hand me the documents on the desk," Kai said.
He was avoiding Lana's question again.
She clenched her fists tightly and reluctantly walked to his desk. There were a few documents on the desk, and she was unsure which one he was referring to.
So, she took all of them.

Lana approached him, intending to wake him up. However, she lost her balance, and the documents she was holding fell to the floor, creating a loud noise in the silent office.
Lana quickly knelt down to pick them up, one by one. Then, she suddenly saw the name of a female cancer patient, Madelyn Jent.
"Can you ever get anything done?" Kai's displeased voice came from above. In the next second, he grabbed Lana and pulled her up. Then, he carefully picked up the documents, worrying that they might be damaged.
"I didn't mean it." These documents were the information and treatment plans Kai had spent almost a month researching.
He just could not afford to let anything go wrong.
