Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 920

Chapter 920 

Recently, Lena had been in a constant state of distraction. Aaron’s decision to sever ties with the Aces weighed heavily on her mind. He hadn’t told her the reason, only saying that she would find out in due time. 

She could live without knowing why, but she feared the fallout. When the truth came to light, she worried her grandparents and her mother would crumble under the weight of the news, collectively breaking down. 

Aaron had assured her he would handle everything, but she didn’t trust that he could shield the family from such devastation. 

Most importantly, she couldn’t understand why he would choose to leave the Aces. Could it really be, as the old saying went, that someone else’s child was like an ungrateful wolf? 

If it were anyone else, she might believe it, but this was Aaron. She couldn’t bring herself to believe he would be so heartless, so ungrateful. 

And yet, he had said it to her himself. It felt so unreal that Lena wondered if she had imagined 

it all. 

This turmoil took a visible toll on her, to the point that even Nate noticed something was 

wrong. 

“Are you facing some trouble, or are you feeling unwell?” Nate asked, sitting across from her in the cafeteria during lunch. 

Lately, their interactions had been limited to work. Nate hadn’t brought up their past relationship again, which made their conversations easier and more natural. 

Still, Lena’s troubles weren’t something she could share with him. She shook her head lightly. “No, nothing.” 

Nate didn’t press her when he saw her reluctance. Instead, he changed the subject to work.” The post–surgery monitoring for the pregnant woman and her fetus is complete. We can now confirm that the fetal heart correction surgery was a total success. 

Lena, who had been closely following the case, nodded. “Aside from congratulations, I also owe you a thank–you.” 

” 

The success of the surgery didn’t just save a life–it saved a family and spared a mother from lifelong regret. It was also a beacon of hope for families facing similar challenges. This breakthrough wasn’t just medical; it was profoundly emotional. 

Ever since Aaron had told her about the brother she never met, Lena had come to realize how even an unborn child could hold immense significance to a mother. 

“You should thank yourself more,” Nate replied, bringing a smile to Lena’s face. 

“Then let’s toast to ourselves,” she said, lifting her bowl of soup.

They exchanged a smile and clinked their bowls together. 

“I’ll be heading to Mercy Hospital next week,” Nate said, catching Lena off guard.
