Dylan looked at her cold, resentful expression, and a wave of irritation threatened to consume him.
He tried to answer her, but a sharp pain lanced through his stomach. He winced, his brow furrowing as a thin sheen of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing him in pain sent a pang through Serena’s heart. After all, she was the one who had saved his life. How could she not feel for him?
It wasn’t just his chronic stomach issues. His body was deteriorating after the liver transplant, no longer sustained by the specialized diet she had painstakingly prepared for him.
“Dylan, your recovery from the transplant was never complete,” Serena explained, her voice softening almost imperceptibly.
“The health–promoting cuisine I made for you was what kept your body stable. Since our divorce, you haven’t been following the regimen, and your health is declining. The transplanted liver could fail, and you might need another one.
“Don’t just brush this off. For your son’s sake, for the woman you love, you need to get to a hospital and have a full check–up. If you wait too long, no one will be able to save you.”
With that grave warning, Serena turned and left with Chris.
Dylan reached for her, but his hand fell limply to his side. His body gave out, and he collapsed heavily to the floor.
“Dylan!” Eliana practically abandoned Liam on the stairs and rushed down to Dylan’s side.
Liam, however, scurried back to his room. He knew his mother’s path out of the estate would take her right past his window.
Downstairs, Miles quickly summoned security, and they rushed the unconscious Dylan to the hospital.
Beatrice’s mind reeled, Serena’s words echoing in her ears. Fear gripped her.
‘If what Serena said is true, Dylan doesn’t have much time left. What do I do?‘
Rowan was already circling like a vulture.
Without Dylan, he would snatch the Ashford empire right out from under them.
‘Am I going to lose all the wealth and status I’ve fought so hard for?‘
“Beatrice, I’ll go to the hospital and look after Dylan,” Eliana said, wringing her hands.
Dylan was her entire world now; she couldn’t afford for anything to happen to him.
Beatrice nodded numbly. “Go.”

‘I have to find a way to destroy Stella Hale,‘ she thought viciously.
‘If Dylan can be treated and recovers, I’ll ruin her with my own two hands.
After a moment’s thought, Beatrice decided to follow them to the hospital.

Liam stood at the window, tears streaming down his face as he watched his mother’s figure recede into the distance.
“Mommy, why didn’t you take me with you?” he whispered, his small voice trembling. “My back hurts so
much.”
Further down the drive, Serena glanced back and saw the small silhouette in the window. Her heart shattered.
‘He’s begging me for help.
The moment Serena got into the car, the tears she’d been holding back finally fell.
Chris looked at her, his expression pained. “Ms. Hale…”
Serena looked at Chris through her tears, the anguish in her heart finally spilling over. “Chris, that’s my son. He was pleading with me. It was like he was saying, ‘Mommy, when are you coming to save me? I’m in so much pain.””
A sharp pain went through Chris’s own chest.
