After they left, Ethan had ordered the delivery of the "Tears of the Immortal Heart," a symbol of lifelong companionship. It was rumored that when a man gives this to a woman, it signifies a lifetime together.
Elena felt as if she had been struck, but soon, she let it go. It had always been like this, hadn’t it?
The most precious things were always reserved for Sienna.
Elena received a call from the hospital, urging her to return quickly for her surgery.
Elena gave up and requested the hospital to keep her condition strictly confidential.
Even if the treatment succeeded, the survival rate would only extend her life by a few years. To her, trading those few years for one month of peace was worth it.
After hanging up the phone, Elena turned to see Ethan approaching from behind. He noticed her anxious expression, and an inexplicable unease stirred in his heart.
“Who were you calling? Why are you so flustered?” he asked.
“Oh, don't worry about it.” Elena hurried to follow him as she saw he was about to leave.
Ever since Ethan was discharged from the hospital, she had been like his shadow, never leaving his side.
