Chapter 409
Helen blurted out the cruel truth, which was a huge blow to Chris. Coldness seeped into every part of
his body.
He didn’t have the time to accept reality as rage inflated in him. He was on the verge of losing himself.
“Must you take it that far?” His eyes were red, and his voice was icy.
“It’s still not enough, of course. I prepared you a second gift, and it’s a huge one. You should enjoy it,”
announced Helen like a witch. “Do you know how many years I waited for this day to come? I was in
hell every day you and Chloe were living a peaceful life. You should experience the pain yourself.”
Then, she kicked Chris’ waist and broke free from his grasp easily.
By the time he stood up while hugging his stomach, she was standing three steps away from him.
“Chris, I’m no longer the foolish woman who’d keep waiting for you to look at me anymore.” She
appeared sophisticated in that beige dress, but her eyes spoke of madness.
“I’m going to see your family ruined! Your wife and daughter are going to leave you one day!”
By the time Chris rushed to the hospital, Marina was there. She underwent a check-up under the
doctor’s orders.
Even though Marina wasn’t his daughter, Marina was Chloe’s biological daughter.
He had looked after Marina for many years as well. He couldn’t help but worry.
“Sir, how’s my daughter doing?”
The doctor shook his head. “She’s in bad shape. Many of her body parts are broken, and her organs
are damaged. She’s very weak, but her life is not in a critical condition. It’s just that she’s like a frail doll.
She can’t handle anything serious.”
“As for the bone marrow transplant…”
The doctor shook his head as soon as Chris brought it up. “A bone marrow transplant? Ms. Carlton is in
bad shape. We can’t possibly take her bone marrow. It basically means taking her life away. Her
immunity system is weak right now.”
Following that, Chris finally met Marina.
The sick lady no longer appeared haughty as she always did in the past. It pained him to see her innovelbin
such a pitiful state.
Marina looked in his direction when she heard the door open.
Noticing that it was Chris, she couldn’t help but cry in grievance. “Dad…”

His heart was squeezing. “You must be in a lot of pain. You never like it when it hurts…”
“Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have listened to that woman. I’m the cause of our family’s downfall! And I
hurt Mom as well! I deserve to be dead! Just take my bone marrow. We still have time. We can’t drag
this any longer or Mom will die!”
“No!” A stern voice resounded.
It was none other than an angry Otto. “You’re my only granddaughter. We can’t lose you!”
Furthermore, she was engaged to Ethan. If something happened to her, the engagement would
naturally be called off.
Chris said, “Dad.”
Before he could say anything further, Otto said furiously, “I don’t care if that woman is dead. Even if she
survives this, she won’t be able to bear your child. Marina is very weak. I won’t allow you to take her
bone marrow.”

“Grandpa, she’s my biological mother. Please let me save her.” Marina was tear-stricken, regretting her
foolish deeds.
Otoo smirked. “Her life alone is not enough to pay the price. Just get some rest. I’ll never let you do
something as foolish as that. Think about your children. Who’s going to look after the children after
you’re gone?”
