The moment Lucas learned that Anne could be cured, he finally smiled.

Tears of joy streamed down his face. “This is amazing! Thank you so much, Ms. Yates! You saved Anne’s life, but we have nothing to give you in return. As long as you don’t mind, Anne and I will do whatever you say!”

Tessa’s face also lit up with a bright smile. The second she heard the bone marrow was a match and Anne could have the surgery soon, she finally felt relieved.

She held onto Stephen’s arm. “I’m just happy I could help Anne. But you should really be thanking my fiancé. He’s the one who found the matching donor for her.”

Lucas kept thanking them over and over again. Meanwhile, Jasmine was just as happy.

Tessa had promised to do Anne’s makeup today. After a quick chat with Lucas, she left the ward and went to find Anne.

Stephen had things to take care of, so he left shortly after.

After Tessa and Jasmine arrived at Anne’s ward, they helped her put on some beautiful makeup.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Anne smiled sweetly. “Tessa, Jasmine, this is the first time I’ve ever seen myself look this pretty.”

Tessa gently patted her head. “Go look for Lucas now.”

Anne nodded. “Okay!”

Zachary had been sitting blankly on the hospital bed all day. Although many people had visited him, Tessa was not one of them.

Whenever the door creaked open, Zachary would tense up, holding his breath as he watched expectantly.

But every time, disappointment hit him like a wave. From morning until night, she

never came.

Without her, he didn’t even know what his life meant.

That night, Yanis and the caregiver came by to bring Zachary dinner.

But the moment Yanis opened the door, she let out a scream and dropped the food box.

Zachary was gripping a knife and slicing his own wrist open.

She rushed over and grabbed his hand. “Zachary, what are you doing? Don’t do this. You’re scaring me!”

Tears streamed down her face. “Why would you do something so stupid? What’s eating you up inside? How am I supposed to go om without you?”

The bedsheet was soaked in blood. The gash on Zachary’s wrist wouldn’t stop bleeding.

His eyes were empty, his face blank.

He didn’t hear a single word Yanis said. The only thing that sank in was that Tessa

had dumped him and was never coming back.

The pain in his chest was crushing. He had no will or reason to keep going.

The caregiver sprinted out of the room in terror, shouting for help. Within moments, doctors and nurses rushed in.

As Zachary was wheeled into the emergency room, Yanis sobbed the hallway. “Is this our karma?
