Connor finally came home at 1.00AM. He was shocked when he found Olivia
awake, and he asked with a guilty conscience, “Why are you still up?” “And why
are you back at this time?”
“I was drinking and chatting with Carter! I would need to get a picture of his
project that I invested in,” he lied. As Olivia was clueless about investments, she
took his word for it. At this point, they did not have common topics of
conversation despite sharing the same bed.
Ellen woke up early in the morning. She visited the flower shop nearby to pick a
bouquet of flowers and some decorations for the grave visit. When she was
done, she received a call from Jared telling her that he was on his way to pick
her up.
At 8.30AM, a black SUV stopped at the entrance to her neighborhood. She
hopped into: his car, and they took off in the direction of the graveyard with
bodyguard vans in tow.
The graveyard was far away in the outskirts and it would take them three hours
for a roundtrip. Ellen had a heavy heart on her brother's death. anniversary
because she had gradually lost her memory of his appearance, but what stayed
with her was his love and protection.
“What's his name?” Jared asked tenderly.
“Kevin. He passed away when I was seven. I was too young to understand it and
did not even say my final farewell,” she explained with a guilty look.
“How did he pass?”
“Brain cancer. End-stage brain cancer. It was too late to treat it.” Her eyes were
misty as she recalled the unjust fate that befell her family. First, her parents
passed away when she was young, and then, her only older brother could not
grow healthily.
Jared felt sorry for her and gave her a sympathetic look. He had never seen
anyone with a more miserable fate than Ellen. It seemed that everyone she loved
had left her.
“I will be by your side from now on,” he comforted her.
She glanced at him gratefully. “Okay!”
Then, she added, “The last time I saw him was on the burial day. I held onto his
urn. It was raining, and I refused to leave the grave. My uncle had to forcefully
drag me away.” She vividly recalled the scene from years ago, which she would
revisit every year when she visited Kevin's grave. Each time, she lacked the
strength to face his death. The more she thought about it, the sadder she
became.
While they waited at the lights, Jared reached out and patted her softly on the
shoulder. He also put on some light music to distract her from the painful
memories.
He did not know that Kevin was his heart donor because his parents made all the
arrangements on his behalf. Moreover, his parents kept the details from him
because they didn’t want him to shoulder the burden of knowledge.
Still, the heart donation was a medical miracle, for Jared's body accepted Kevin's
heart without any complications, as though the two entities were one. Kevin's
heart received a second life in his body.

Due to the smooth process, Jared
was not exposed to more
information about the heart donor.
Plus, he was only ten years old when
the accident happened, and the
near-death experience greatly
affected him, to the point. that he
wallowed in the trauma for a long
time. At this moment, the mention of
Kevin did not raise any suspicion.

At the graveyard, they walked all the
way to the middle of the hill. Ellen
found herself by a grave in a corner
overgrown with weeds. She placed
the stuff in her hands on the ground
and started pulling out the weeds.
Similarly, Jared did not care that he
was dressed in a luxurious suit and
helped her to clean the site. The

He glanced at the name on the
headstone but did not find any photo
of the deceased. The grave was
minimalist in design, and even the
headstone was a simple rectangular
slab that appeared rather miserable
and lonely. The content is on

“Ouch!” When Ellen was pulling out a bunch of weed with sharp edges, she
accidentally cut her finger, after which blood started oozing from the wound.
Jared immediately hurried over and started bandaging her finger with a napkin.
“Take a rest at the side. I'll pull the weeds.”
