The doctor worked all night and barely managed to save Hayden’s life..
When he was sent to the ICU, the director said, “I’ve never seen someone with such a
to live. He wanted to live
As long as a person wants to live, even the grim reaper can’t take them away.
Courtney felt unsteady and slowly slid down against the wall, her legs trembling

“It’s almost down, Courtney. Go get some sleep. You’re off tomorrow anyway. You can’t collapse when he wakes up. Have a good rest at home.” Lorraine said.
Lorraine had taken a nap on the bench, When she woke up, she saw Courtney sitting there, staring blankly.
“Alright.” Courtney replied.
Lorraine yawned as she accompanied Courtney on her way back.
“Carl has to stay there, and that guy named Tyson is his uncle,” Lorraine whispered to Courtney. “Their family relationships are a bit complicated.“||
Courtney nodded.
“Do you think Tyson is scary? He’s only a few years older than Carl, but he holds a higher family rank. Everyone in Carl’s family is afraid of him. He’s with the military,” Lorraine said while driving.
“After I married Carl, we went to South Weidan. I haven’t even met everyone in his family. Now that we’re back, rumors are everywhere. Carl’s mom wants me to divorce him,” Lorraine continued.
Courtney was stunned and stared at Lorraine. “But why?” “This is just too unfair, she thought.
“Alas, that’s just human nature. The Fraley family is powerful in Hensburg, and while my family isn’t bad, we’re no match for theirs. No one believes we could survive in South Weidan without being violated.
“I don’t want children, and his mom thinks I can’t get pregnant anymore because she believes my body has been tainted,” Lorraine said, her voice filled with helplessness.
“What do you think about all this?” Courtney asked, her eyes starting to well up.
Courtney thought she was the only one enduring those rumors. She believed that if she accepted them, others wouldn’t use them to attack Lorraine.
“What else can I think? I’ve wanted to divorce Carl for a long time. Five years ago, we were arguing about divorce almost every day.
“if he thinks the same way, then fine, we’ll just go through with it,” Lorraine said with a faint smile, as if she didn’t care. But Courtney could tell she was really upset.
Lorraine seemed like the type of person who was carefree, acting like nothing bothered her. But when it came to something that hit her right in the heart, how could the possibly not care?
“What did Carl say about his mom’s comment?” Courtney sniffled and asked.

“Him? He’s just the same busy as ever, always with one case after another. He barely has time to come home. He doesn’t even know what his mom says, Lorraine whispered.
“I think communication is important between a couple,” Courtney said, looking at Lorraine, though her eyes dimmed with disappointment.
“Even though my marriage was a failure, Lorraine, thope you and Carl can be happy. He loves you. At least he spent five years searching for you and has
been waiting all this time,” Courtney said
“Carl has never given up on Lorraine. But Austin, on the other hand, has easily given up on me, Courtney thought.
“it it weren’t for him waiting those five years, I would ve divorced him long ago,” Lorraine said casually, but tears were already flowing down her face.
“Lorraine,” Courtney advised, “try to have less contact with his mother. Tell Carl to take care of it. If he manages to solve the issues between you and his mother well, it shows he’s someone worth entrusting your future to,
“But if he can’t handle it fairly and leaves you feeling wronged or hurt, then I’ll support any decision you make.” Courtney reached out and held Lorraine’s hand tightly.
Lorraine smiled at Courtney, and before they knew it, the two o
of them were laughing through their tears.
The car stopped downstairs at Courtney’s new place. Lorraine smiled at Courtney again. “I’m going to rest now. It’s already morning. Have some breakfast and get a bit more sleep”
Courtney nodded as she got out of the car. “Drive safely on your way back.”
Lorraine nodded and drove off.
Courtney stood there watching Lorraine’s car disappear into the distance, her gaze lingering for a long time before heading upstairs. She didn’t know why, but Lorraine was such a good girl, and yet her mother–in–law still made things difficult for her.
“Courtney,” someone called out
As Courtney reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw an uninvited guest–Austin.
Courtney furrowed her brows. “It looks like I’d have to move again, she thought.
“Courtney, I heard that Rosalind bullied you at the hospital? Why didn’t you tell me? I might not be able to solve other things, but Rosalind… Austin looked worried, almost as though he was telling Courtney that he could at least deal with Rosalind.
“You’re not here to plead for James, are you?” Courtney asked directly.
“Courtney, Rosalind and I have nothing to do with each other,” Austin replied, holding up a bag of breakfast. “Where have you b some breakfast.”
Courtney ignored him and coldly walked past him,
been? Come on, have
“That day, after Phoebe got back, she kept calling your name and said she wanted to live with you.” Austin lowered his head, his tone heavy with guilt and reinorse
“I’m sorry. I thought you might hurt her. But Phoebe told me how kind you were to her. Courtney, you haven’t changed. You’re still the same Courtney you used to be,” Austin continued. ‘She’s still the same kind–hearted Courtney,” he thought.
Courtney fo
found Austin’s words amusing. “No, I’ve changed. And so have you,”
“Courtney, if you can accept Phoebe, then why do we need a divorce? Let’s not divorce, okay? If you’re willing, let’s remarry. Phoebe really likes you.

Vera’s sentencing has been finalized–three years.
“Even if she gets out early, it’ll still be over two years. During this time, you and Phoebe can build a bond. By the time Vera is released, Phoebe will already be closer to you,” Austin explained in a low voice.
Courtney stared at Austin in shock, utterly stunned that such words could come out of his mouth.
