The matching report stated crystal clear that Vincent was a compatible bone marrow donor.
If he agreed to donate, Nolan could be saved.
As a medical professional, Scarlett understood the weight of this match and knew it was Nolan's only shot at life.
They had exhausted every connection and rallied countless strangers for donor testing.
Predictably, not a single match was found.
Scarlett had never imagined Vincent would turn out to be the compatible donor.
The second she saw the news, her day-long anxiety dissolved into thin air.
After five years of marriage, she understood his ruthless streak all too well.
Without this lethal leverage in hand, he would've never let her walk out of the parking garage at noon.
Clutching her phone, Scarlett sat frozen, wanting to cry yet finding no tears left to shed.
Facing Nolan's sole chance at survival, how could she turn her back on it?
So she typed a message back to Vincent in the chat, "What do you want?"
Vincent replied almost instantly, "Get over to Oakland Villa."
Staring at those words, an intense ache gripped her heart.
Yet in the end, she made her decision—she had to go.
She had contemplated having Damian tag along, but another message from Vincent popped up, "Come alone."
Staring at those cold words, Scarlett sat dazed for a long while.
Either way, saving Nolan's life took top priority.
So she locked in her choice.
Knowing Damian would never let her see Vincent solo, she devised this lie.
Oakland Villa sat near Claire's complex, giving her just enough time for a quick trip.
Slipping out the side door, she circled to the back gate, flagged down a cab, gave the address, and stared out the window.
Damian stood a short distance away facing the main gate, his back turned to the passing traffic.
As the cab sped past, Scarlett kept her eyes locked on his back.
She couldn't help thinking that after tonight, their brief taste of happiness was over for good.
A vengeful man like Vincent would never grant her a smooth divorce or let her be happy.
So her journey with Damian ended right here.
Maybe I am truly cursed never to be loved.
