---- Chapter 10 Ellen ensured Kathleen received the best care, arranging a top -tier hospital room. She kept Kathleen there for a full month before allowing her discharge. During that time, Adrian rarely left her side. Though he didn't handle her direct care, he prepared every meal she ate. Ellen mentioned that besides business, cooking was Adrian's passion. All of Kathleen's hospital meals came from his hands. As Kathleen's complexion improved daily, everyone's worries eased. Joshua, however, struggled. Ellen had uncovered some details and promptly withdrew all investments from Joshua's company, plunging it into crisis. "Mr. Hayes, our previous clients are canceling partnerships. What should we do?" his secretary asked hesitantly. Joshua rubbed his temples, silent. For the past two weeks, he wanted to find Kathleen. He knew she could only have gone to her aunt, her only family. But the day after she left, his company spiraled into chaos, leaving him no time to search. ---- Chapter 10 Ellen ensured Kathleen received the best care, arranging a top -tier hospital room.

But the day after she left, his company spiraled into chaos, leaving him no time to search. ---- The relentless work exhausted him, body and soul. He didn't know Ellen orchestrated it all to keep him from disturbing Kathleen's recovery. "Forget it. We've done what we could. Let fate decide," he said, rising slowly. He thought Kathleen's absence wouldn't affect him. He believed he owed her nothing. Yet, without her, he lived like a hollow shell. He stopped visiting Ella and barred her from seeing him. When his office door burst open, Ella stormed in, eyes red. "Joshua, you promised to save my mom! She can't wait any longer. Find her a liver!" Her tears fell like rain. In the past, Joshua would have melted, but her constant crying over this issue wore him down. He tried, but the donor's family refused contact. He was out of options. "Where am | supposed to find one? Should | give her mine?" he snapped, his frustration boiling over. Ella froze, stunned by his outburst. She held her breath, tears streaming, certain he'd comfort her as he always did. But Joshua slammed the door and left. "Stop crying in front of me. If your mom dies, that's her fate. | ---- can't help it," he said. Ella stood rooted, unable to believe his cruelty. He promised to care for her forever because she bore his child. How could he be so heartless? That night, Joshua booked a flight to Jaxperton. He needed to find Kathleen. No matter why she wanted a divorce, he wouldn't agree. He thought his love for her had faded compared to Ella. But when Kathleen left, he realized his love for her was deeper than duty-it was bone-deep. "Joshua, come to the hospital! My mom's dying," Ella's voice came through the phone. He rushed to the hospital, where Ella grabbed his collar frantically. "It's Kathleen. She stole my mom's liver. You have to avenge her!" Joshua froze. The donor's family had been unreachable. Had they given the liver to Kathleen? Facing Ella's tears, he felt a flicker of relief. He hadn't taken Kathleen's liver. There was still a chance to mend things. "No one can bring back the dead. I'm sorry for your loss," he said, leaving only that before hurrying to the airport. He needed to see Kathleen immediately. There might be misunderstandings, but since her transplant succeeded, he ---- would bring her home.
