Chapter SixteenThe Donor 2Maxon’s POVI was thoroughly confused and struggled to grasp the woman's meaning. The idea of donating blood for someone I didn't know was perplexing. I couldn't comprehend why she was making this request, who this mysterious Asher was, or why I had to be involved in such a situation. I shook my head, seeking clarification."What are you talking about? What do you mean?" I asked in hopes of getting a clearer explanation.She continued to hold my hand and pressed, "We have just ten minutes to save him, and you are the only one who can help. Please, you must do it."Her words still didn't provide me with the answers I needed. Donating blood for someone I had no connection with seemed unreasonable to me, especially if it was related to Sophie, the woman who had caused me immense pain. If withholding my blood donation would cause her pain or distress, I was prepared to do just that. I yearned for her to face consequences for the anguish she had inflicted on me.

Would I be able to live with the pain and the
Chapter EighteenLies. Deceit.Maxon’s POVI felt the heaviness of my eyes, and I forced them open, one after the other. My head spun as I stared at the ceiling. At first, it was as if I was in the middle of nowhere, lost in an unknown land, unable to comprehend my surroundings. I tried to tilt my head to the sides to check where I was, but my head felt so heavy that I couldn't move it. I let out a sigh, wondering what was happening to me, why it felt like I was lost and why I couldn't move my head.My entire body felt heavy, as if a weight had been suspended on me, pinning me to the bed and preventing any movement. I sighed again, closing my eyes to think about my current situation, but my mind remained blank.

Chapter Twenty-threeSingle MomSophie’s POVIt had been days since the hospital ordeal, and Maxon had discovered that Asher and Amara were his children. I had hoped to keep them hidden from him indefinitely or at least until they were older, but I was mistaken.I had made the decision to keep them away from Maxon, but I had failed miserably. I knew the kind of person he was, and I anticipated that he would want to reclaim his children once he learned the truth. However, his silence on the matter for the past few days had left me in a difficult position. I didn't know what to do or whether I should broach the subject.Since the ordeal, I had resumed working with him, but he hadn't mentioned the topic of the children or expressed any desire to have them back.

My head felt detached from my body; I couldn't feel it anymore. Had he done something unthinkable with those pills? My heart raced as I considered the possibilities.With trembling hands, I reached f
