Listening to Lily Thorne’s words, Caden Lockwood’s eyes flashed with deep disbelief.

He couldn’t believe such words were coming from Lily Thorne, his ever-respected mother.

Lily continued to ask, "You can’t bear to let her die, but you can bear to let me die?"

Caden stared at Lily, wanting to say he would surely find other willing donors, but since he hadn’t found them yet, he didn’t want to keep making empty promises.

Caden’s face was ashen, and he didn’t know how to unravel the current situation, which seemed like a deadlock.

But Lily suddenly laughed.

"Silly son!" Lily laughed happily, "I was just joking with you! Do you think your mom is so bloodthirsty? Trading the lives of healthy young people for an old lady like me — what a bad deal! Besides, Evelyn Morgan is my daughter-in-law; she has to carry on the Lockwood Family legacy!"

"It’s not funny." Caden frowned, "Mom, don’t joke like this again in the future."

"I’m just too bored staying in the hospital." Lily sighed long, "Your dad doesn’t like to joke either. Every time he visits me, he has a stern face, as if I’m about to die, which annoys me a lot."

Seeing Caden’s face still looking quite unsightly, Lily couldn’t help but grasp his hand and softly asked, "Recently, has your relationship with your dad eased a bit?"

"Mom." Caden didn’t want to talk much with Lily, "Relax, I’m still finding a suitable heart. I won’t let you leave so soon."

"Forget it!" Lily shook her head, "Anyway, being alive is quite boring, and I’m just your burden. If I die, it would be cleaner! Putting an end once and for all, wouldn’t it be nice!"

"You won’t die." Caden’s tone was calm and steady, "I’ll take care of it."

Lily shrugged, still smiling as she spoke, "You don’t usually come to see me, and when you do, at least give me a smile!"

Caden looked at Lily, wanting to force a smile, but he couldn’t manage it.

The thought of L telling Evelyn Morgan everything made Caden think it might be better to confess to her himself.

If Evelyn blamed him, he would just accept it.

However, he would never allow her to leave!

They made a vow that no matter what happens, they wouldn’t be apart!

Clenching his fists, Caden now couldn’t wait to see Evelyn.

"Mom." Caden had already stood up, "I’ll come visit you another day, you rest well first, don’t overthink it, you’ll be fine!"

With those words, Caden had already left the hospital room.

Watching Caden’s back, Lily shook her head helplessly, and soon, a deep meaning surged in her eyes...

At this moment, Evelyn Morgan was preparing for the upcoming school term.

After a summer break and so many happenings, she felt like she had lived through a century-long ordeal.

Hearing the sound of a car pulling up outside, Evelyn’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up, running to the door to greet them.

Caden Lockwood got out of the car and saw Evelyn coming out, his gloomy and unsightly face finally showed a slight improvement.

Stretching out his hands, he pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.

Smelling the fragrance of her hair, he couldn’t help but close his eyes, savoring the feeling of her in his arms.

Although physical contact with Caden was already very familiar to Evelyn, every time she entered his embrace, her heart would inevitably race, and her cheeks would turn as red as a ripe persimmon.

"Dear." Caden’s voice was deep and mellow, "I missed you."
