Even though she was in the dark about her brother’s heart donation back then, if
Connor hadn’t agreed to it, Jared wouldn’t be where he was today.
Ellen took out her phone and dialed Connor’s number, which was saved on her
phone. “Hello?” On the other end of the line, Connor picked up and spoke in an

wanted to be with her and serve as a shield she could rely on.
At the Aguirre Residence, Olivia had just returned from grocery shopping when
Connor told her the good news. However, there wasn’t even a smile on Olivia’s face,
