Chapter 71 At this point, Aaron was still naively convinced that they could reconcile.

So...

Even if she reported him, he wouldn't think it was unreasonable? "Really?" Serena's lips curled into a sharp, mocking smile.

Aaron frowned. He disliked Serena's smile, it felt like a hedgehog's quills pricking him.

"Yes." "Okay." Serena lowered her head, but beneath the covers, her hands clasped tightly.

She had to keep Aaron calm, lull him into a false sense of security, so she could find a chance to escape.

Seeing her obediently lower her eyes, Aaron felt much better, as if she'd sheathed her quills.

He picked up the soup, taking a spoonful and bringing it to Serena's lips. "The temperature is just right, give it a try." In the past, when Serena was sick and miserable, she had fantasized about Aaron being by her side, taking care of her.

But Aaron had never been there.

Now, that dream had ctrue, yet what was once a beautiful dream had turned into a nightmare.

"I can do it myself." Serena sat up straight.

Aaron insisted, "You're not feeling well, lethelp." Serena glanced at Aaron, repeating to herself, "Patience is a virtue," before lowering her head and accepting the spoon.

The soup's warmth was indeed just right, but it wasn't as good as the soup she would make.

Her recipe was meticulous.

The water had to be from the Frostpeak Mountains, only that mountain spring water could capture the true essence of the ingredients, and the ingredients themselves were specially selected.

Serena took a few more spoonfuls before losing her appetite.

"I'm full." Aaron didn't push her. "Then you should rest." Serena nodded obediently, letting Aaron tuck the blanket around her.

As soon as the bedroom door clicked shut, the smile vanished from her face, replaced by a steely resolve. Picking up her phone from the table, Serena dialed Samuel's number. "Samuel, can you doa favor?" At the hospital.

Cynthia Lynwood's blood was pumping with excitement as she listened to Matthew's entire plan.

She eagerly asked, "Matthew, how likely is it that your plan will succeed?" Matthew smiled indulgently, "Given Aaron's affection for you, it's bound to work. But to ensure everything goes smoothly, I need to prepare carefully." Cynthia Lynwood's eyes sparkled as she looked at Matthew, "Matthew, my future happiness depends on you!"

Matthew felt a pang of bitterness, but he flashed a wide smile "Cynthia, for you, I'd walk through fire without hesitation!" Cynthia Lynwood grinned sweetly, about to say more when a knock cat the door.

Matthew walked over, opening it to find Aaron and the hospital director, taken aback.

Cynthia Lynwood's eyes lit up brighter at the sight of Aaron than they had with Matthew just moments before. "Aaron, what brings you here?" It was the first tAaron had cto see her voluntarily.

In the past, she had to feign illness to see him.

Aaron glanced at Cynthia Lynwood. "I'm discussing a transplant with the director." Matthew and Cynthia exchanged a quick glance.

"The director has givenhis word that within the month, he'll find a suitable donor."

Before Cynthia's smile could fully blossom, Aaron continued, "I've also made arrangements with theo m Federation of Faircrest. Once the surgery is successful, you can recuperate there. The environment is much better, and it'll be more beneficial for your health."
