Chapter ３

Ava Lins' hands trembled as she remembered last night. Her heart felt like it was riddled with hundreds of holes.

Was it worth jumping off a skyscraper for this man?

Ava parked her car and took a cab to the hospital.

When she arrived at the emergency room, she saw her father and brother, Omi Lins, talking to a doctor.

Her father's face was getting paler. She feared that something had happened .

The doctor left, leaving Omi Lins staring at her with tears in his eyes that made Ava's heart swell.

"The doctor said we have to amputate Sis' arms to save her," Omissaid.

"Sis, what now? What if sister learns piano after she loses an arm? "That's more serious than murder."

Ava gritted her teeth and hugged Omi, her heart aching. "Omi, this is the only thing we can do," she finally said. "I want her to live."

Omi Lins, then 17 years old, described himself as a man, a teenager, who never mourned when his mother left him...

He hugged Ava Lins tighter. His boiling tears silently wetted her clothes.

The doctor advised the family to act quickly or they might miss the ideal time for surgery and the wounded woman might not survive.

They had no other choice.

They prayed that she would live, even if she hated them in the future...

Ava pulled out her cell phone and read Goden Bran's message, " I already have plans tonight, so I will not be back.

"The guy you called turned off his phone," she said, and went outside to contact Goden Bran.

She sadly hung up the phone. She had been through a lot. Where was her husband?

Ava Lins often felt unmarried and alone...

She looked at her ring. What, besides the ring, made him seem married?

"Is not he coming?"

"He has business to attend to," Ava said, turning her head to hide her displeasure.

"Did not he come to you when something so big happened? "Do you love him so much that he does not feel sorry for you?"

Ava Lins lowered her head to hide the pain in her heart. "Can not you talk about it?"

"Oh yes, do you have some kind of quarrel with your Sister?" said Granny Lins and sighed.

She came back yesterday and said strange things to me. "?"

Ava's heart stopped when she heard that.

She felt guilty. She knew it was a mistake, but she might have prevented these disasters if she had explained herself earlier. She had misjudged Tianra's stamina and assumed that she would be fine if she calmed down.

She groaned, not knowing where to start. This cocky person was the culprit!

She imagined his mischievous grin. She knew he was someone who abused his father's wealth and influence to get what he wanted.

In a hotel.

A crimson wine cup and Goden Bran stood outside the French window.

His sword-like brows were pinched tightly together and his eyes were deep and mysterious.

Delicate hands appeared on his waist.

"Did not we promise not to go back tonight?" she said softly, pressing her beautiful body against his back.

Godenssaid to the lady behind him, "I still have my papers at home and need to go pick them up."

"Then have the secretary take them to your residence, is not that all right?"

She hugged him tightly, for she did not want him to leave tonight...

Goden Bran smirked and backed away. He lifted her lower jaw and set his wine cup aside. Her beautiful looks could fascinate any man.

"You were not always like this."

She pursed her lips and clasped his hand. "I was not always like this. I believed women were supposed to be reserved, but my reserve kept you away from me.""I do not want you to go back and live with another woman."

"She's my best friend, and I want her to be happy. But because Heaven is making fun of me, I can tell she's not happy with you. Why do not you break up with her because you do not like her?"

"Goden, I confess I regret it," Belli Tannu murmured as she approached him. I should not have left you to study.

"Give me some more time," Goden Bran murmured softly as he groaned.

"After work, I'll divorce her."

"I can wait for you for however long," Belli Tannu said, chuckling.

"I have a birthday present for you today." Wait, I'll get it."

Belli Tannu moved away. Then she stood in front of him, loosened his tie and put on the tie she had bought.

Her gentle disposition exuded a seductive fragrance. One could sense the glorious surroundings in her pajamas. Every man, no matter how confident, would be impressed by her.

He touched her cheeks and made her pause. He kissed her, his head lowered...

The guy would not leave even if there were thousands of gold in the room. But Goden Bran was like that: he threw off his tie, loosened his shirt, pulled down her see-through pajamas, bent down to lift her up horizontally, and walked toward the bed.

So full of life, passion and fire...

When the sun rose the next day, he discovered Ava Lins asleep on the bed.

"Sis?" said Grandma, and her heart ached for her.

Then Ava Lins woke up, looked at Omi and then at Tianna, who was still sleeping. "You came so early?

"Sis, you can rest. I am going to check. Breakfast. In the alley next to the school where we used to go to school, they sell fried dough sticks and soy milk.

While indulging in a long overdue breakfast, Ava Lins grins amiably, "My brother loves me."

She ate her breakfast on the side. She was eating when she saw a newspaper next to her and the person in the article caught her eye!

Was not he the one who made Tianna jump off a building?

She took a quick glance at the paper. That was him...

She had read in the press that it was Jeorge Milton!

A normal second-generation civil servant would bend to his father's wishes!

Of all the celebrities, he attracted the most paparazzi.

Ava Lins did not care what his past was, she just wanted to sleep on the bed with her sister, who was missing her arms, while she ate and drank normally! She could not put up with that!

Before she left, Ava Lins told Omi to take good care of her.

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack with only one person's name.

But his name was Jeorge Milton!
