Chapter 107


    His every word felt like fireworks exploding in her ears.


    Her heart stuttered in her chest. She began to sob uncontrobly. The pain was unbearable.


    Her vice-like grip wrinkled Ethan’s T-shirt that was soaked in her tears.


    “It’s okay. I’m here. It’s over now, J.” Ethan hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped her tears. He


    peppered kisses across her cheek and lips tofort her.


    J looked at him through her teary eyes, and her nose had turned red. She was so vulnerable at the


    moment that she shrank in his arms.


    She wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck and cried, “What do I do now, Ethan? I have severed all


    ties with my adoptive parents, and Hannah is in fatal danger now. I feel like I have no one in this world.


    Nobody wants me.”


    J felt abandoned and helpless. Living in a world without any hope or anyone to hold on to was


    tragic.


    J wasn’t an optimistic person. She always pretended to be strong and happy to protect herself from


    the world.


    “You still have me. I’ll always be with you.” Ethan pulled her closer into his arms. He meant every word


    he said.


    J pressed her face closer against his neck and continued to sob silently. She clung to him for dear


    life.


    She didn’t know how and since when she started trusting Ethan. But at the moment, the man was her


    savior.


    He continued to stroke her backfortingly.


    After crying out her emotions, J leaned against Ethan’s chest, wrapping her arms around his waist.


    She felt sleepy.


    As she closed her eyes, Ethan pulled the jacket tighter, covering J’s neck, and kissed the top of her


    head. “Forget everything and sleep.”


    When J woke up again, it was already midnight. She was lying on the bed in her room. It looked


    like Ethan had carried her into the house.


    A nightmare woke her up.


    She wanted to close her eyes and sleep again but couldn’t.

    Her mind was filled with thoughts about Hannah. She tossed and turned on the bed all night.


    The next morning, J walked out of the room. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy.


    After she called herpany and took a leave of absence, J went to the bathroom to brush her


    teeth. She nned to go to the hospital to see if they had found another suitable liver for Hannah.


    “Your phone is ringing.” Ethan knocked on the bathroom door and came in with J’s phone. A frown


    lined his forehead when he saw J’s tired eyes.


    J answered the phone and quickly turned her head. She looked haggard today and didn’t want


    Ethan to see her in this state.


    “Hello, Miss Lind? I’m a nurse from the municipal hospital. I’m calling to tell you that the liver that was


    originally assigned for Hannah Stone is avable again. The liver transntation operation will be


    performed as scheduled.”


    “Oh, okay, okay. That’s great!” At first, J was overjoyed. Butter, she remembered what they had


    done earlier. “Didn’t you say the patient decided to continue with his treatment? What happened now?”


    She wondered which corrupt doctor in the hospital had secretly colluded with Fiona.


    “Well…” The nurse sounded embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said, “Well, I just called to inform


    you that the surgery will be performed as nned.”


    J hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment’s thought, she turned to look at


    Ethan. “How did you make it?”


    Ethan rubbed the back of his neck nonchntly. “Well, I know a few people working in the hospital.”


    J examined his face. Ethan’s eyes were droopy, and his hair was a mess. He was leaning against


    the sink, brushing his teeth.


    Somehow, J sensed something was wrong. She didn’t believe him.


    After all, she believed Ethan was just amon man. How could he know more influential people than


    Fiona did?
