Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 89

Aaron!

What on earth was he doing here?!

“Aaron…” Matthew approached nervously. “Why are you here?”

Aaron replied, “Has Cynthia found a donor match?”

This morning, after sobering up, Frederick mentioned that Matthew had visited him last night, claiming that Cynthia Lynwood had found a donor match. Such a significant development demanded Aaron's personal attention.

“Well… um…” Matthew stammered, unable to form a proper sentence.

Aaron's eyes narrowed. “What’s going on?”

Just then, a voice rang out from the direction of the operating room. Cynthia Lynwood exclaimed, “Serena… be gentle… my neck…”

Aaron's expression shifted immediately, and he strode quickly towards Operating Room M.

Matthew tried to intervene but was too late.

As Aaron entered the operating room, he was confronted with the sight of Serena gripping Cynthia Lynwood’s neck. Serena’s other hand was cuffed to the operating table.

“What on earth is happening here?” Aaron’s voice was as icy as a winter storm.

Serena jerked Cynthia’s neck up. “Stay back! If you come any closer, I’ll kill her!”

Aaron halted, his mind racing. “Serena, calm down. Do you even know what you’re doing?”

“Of course I do.” Serena’s eyes bore into Aaron’s, filled with an intensity that matched her past affection with newfound animosity. “Aaron, you’ve crossed every line with me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“All you care about is Cynthia Lynwood. Have you ever thought about me, even a little? Her life is precious, but mine isn’t? Why should I be the one to donate a kidney for her?”

Seeing the redness in Serena’s eyes, Aaron finally grasped the situation.

He turned his head, fixing a cold gaze on Matthew. “Yesterday, you said Cynthia found a match. You meant Serena?”
