Chapter 1269


    At that time, he had wondered who that person was. He hadn’t expected it to be her!


    In reality, even if she hadn’t donated, he could have found plenty of other people to donate blood.


    But… why was it her?


    “There’s nothing to regret. I wanted to save that child. Even if he’s your and Harriet’s child, what


    does it matter? The grudges between adults are adult matters. The child has nothing to do with our


    affairs,” Riley said calmly.


    Nothing to do with it? Zephyr suddenly felt a sense of irony.


    Did she know that the reason he had married Harriet in the first ce was because of this child?


    “Since this envelope is from you, take it back. I donated blood to help someone in need; I don’t


    need a reward,” Riley said, extending the envelope toward him.


    However, Zephyr didn’t take it. His gaze remained on Riley’s face. “Things I give away won’t be


    taken back. If you don’t want it, you can throw the envelope away!”


    Riley pursed her red lips, then without a word, she turned around decisively and walked over to the


    nurses’ station, holding out the envelope. “This money was donated to the hospital by Mr. Zephyr


    Scott. Please take care of it.” With that, she ced the envelope on the counter and left.


    Zephyr watched Riley pass by him coldly, heading toward the direction of the elevator. Suddenly, he


    grabbed her arm, his voice icy. “I’ll ask you onest time, are you really nning to be my enemy?


    Once you choose to be my opponent, you will lose everything in the end!”


    Riley yanked her arm back sharply, her tone indifferent. “I have nothing left now. So I think I have


    nothing to lose anymore. If that’s the case, what is there to fear?”


    With that, Riley stepped into the elevator.


    The elevator doors closed slowly, leaving Zephyr staring at the closed doors.


    09:48


    After a while, he returned to the ward.


    At this moment, a 6 or 7-year-old boyy in the hospital bed, pale, wearing an oxygen mask, with


    needles in his arms, receiving a blood transfusion.


    Thest bag of blood being transfused was Riley’s blood.


    Zephyr stared at the hanging blood bag in front of him, stunned. He hadn’t expected that one day


    Riley’s blood would be transfused into his son’s body.


    But what could truly save Hendrick was Harriet’s blood!


    Otherwise, if this continues, Hendrick’s condition would only be more critical.


    Zephyr sat quietly by the bedside, watching his son struggling on the line between life and death, a


    rare expression of heartache in his eyes.


    Originally, Riley had intended to meet Shawn, Jocelyn’s brother. This person might be the key figure


    in determining what Harriet had done in the car ident case years ago.


    However, when she arrived at his ward and saw the warm scene of the family of three inside, she


    hesitated.


    If the old case were reopened, the money Shawn used to start his business would be considered ill-


    gotten gains and confiscated.


    Would Shawn be willing?


    For so many years, he hadn’t sought justice for Jocelyn’s death. Instead, he used that ill-gotten


    money to improve his life.


    Would he care about a sister who had been dead for so many years? Would he be willing to give up


    a portion of his current wealth, or get involved in trouble?


    Riley’s heart suddenly felt heavy.


    Just then, she unintentionally noticed someone staring at her from a corner not far behind her,


    someone she seemed to have seen around Zephyr before!


    Thinking this, Riley shivered suddenly, turning back abruptly. However, she only found ordinary


    patients and their families, as well as medical staff behind her. There was no one she had seen from


    the ss just now.


    09:48


    ???


    She was being followed! Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    She thought, “Is it someone Zephyr sent to track me?” A chill ran down Riley’s spine. If she had


    entered Shawn’s ward just now, Zephyr would know she hade to the hospital looking for


    Shawn!


    Then, Zephyr might try to bribe Shawn, just like he did with those doctors.


    Riley pretended to be looking for a ward, continuing to move forward. She lingered in front of


    several wards and finally ran to the nurses’ station. She deliberately made up a name, asking if the


    patient had been admitted. After receiving a negative answer, she left the hospital.


    When Zephyr heard his subordinate’s report about Riley’s whereabouts, a hint of suspicion


    appeared in his eyes. He pondered, ‘Was she here to see a patient? But the patient she wanted to


    find was no longer here.


    Was it a coincidence? Or was there something I didn’t know?’


    After leaving the hospital, Riley called Calvin. He had given her his contact information before,


    saying he would give her a helping hand if she needed it.


    Originally, she had intended to seek help from the Griffin family regarding Shawn’s matter. However,


    since Zephyr had sent someone to track her, he would undoubtedly keep an eye on the Griffin


    family as well. Calvin, with his limited connections to them, was an outsider. Zephyr’s people


    probably wouldn’t focus on him.


    Besides, Zephyr wouldn’t easily figure out Calvin’s character.


    When the call was answered, Riley briefly exined her request. “As for the details, I can send an


    email to you, Mr. Gunner. I wonder if you can help. Shawn might be the only strong witness now


    who can prove Harriet’s crime.”


    “Sure, I’ll help,” Calvin replied readily. I’ll get you the results as soon as possible.”


    “Thank you,” Riley said gratefully. Of course, she was acutely aware that Calvin agreed to help her


    because of his rtionship with Rosalie.


    Sometimes, when she looked at Calvin, she felt like she was seeing Nichs again. Despite a


    seemingly hopeless love, they would still give their all, even if it meant only wishing for the


    happiness of the person they loved. That was enough for them


    09:48


    Such a love was incredibly precious. She didn’t understand it back then, but now she did.


    Unfortunately, Nichs was no longer with her.


    As for Calvin, was his entire romantic life destined to be like this? Or would he one day meet


    someone worthy of his deep love, someone who could reciprocate his feelings?


    She thought, “If this man’s love life is destined to be like this, it would be a great pity.”


    Meanwhile, in the detention center, Harriet stared at her own hand with a deep, unfathomable gaze.


    Her middle finger on her right hand still couldn’t move freely, all because Zephyr had broken it.


    “Zephyr, don’t disappoint me too much!” Harriet murmured softly. She said inward, ‘I’m counting on


    you to get me out of here!


    As for Hendrick, if he has a serious illness, it would be best if he died! After all, in the future, I can


    find other ways to have a child. And that child wouldn’t look like Riley!’
