Timothy already knew She wouldn''t agree easily.


    "I failed her in so many ways during our seven years of marriage," he said, his voice low. "Right now, you''re the only one who can save her. As long as you''re willing to save her, I''ll agree to any condition you name."


    Those were the words She had been waiting for.


    She hade to understand that the chances of Timothy choosing her were slim to none. If Jessica died now, when he was at his most guilt-ridden, she would forever remain in his heart. Even with Jessica gone, if Timothy didn''t want to marry her, he wouldn''t.


    But here was a chance to make him marry her.


    "You''ll really agree to any condition?"


    "Yes."


    "You know there''s only one thing I''ve ever wanted from you. Nothing else. Will you give it to me?” She asked, looking into his deep eyes, both wanting and dreading his answer.


    "Yes," Timothy replied without a shred of hesitation. Jessica''s life couldn''t afford his doubt.


    The single word shattered She''s heart. He would truly do anything for Jessica. She was getting what she had always wanted, so why did she feel no joy at all? She started tough, but theughter soon turned to tears.


    He was willing to marry her, but in doing so, he had given her another, more painful truth: he loved Jessica. Seven years. Their seven years together had cost her himpletely.


    "She? Will you do it? I''ll agree to any demand you make. Just..... donate your liver to Jessica."


    “Then marry me,” she said, her voice trembling. “I don''t want to marry anyone else. I''ve only ever wanted to marry you. If you marry me, I''ll save her."


    Jessica had used seven years of marriage to make him fall in love with her. She could do the same.


    "Fine. After the surgery, I''ll handle the wedding arrangements. Whatever kind of wedding you want, you''ll have it. Now, let''s go get your pre-op tests done."


    "So soon?"


    "She''s in a lot of pain."


    As Timothy said those words, it sounded as if he were the one in pain. She''s heart ached even more. He was showing her, again and again, the bloody truth that he loved Jessica.


    But She knew Timothy''s


    character. Once he made a promise, he would not break it. Yet it was so difficult. The thought of giving a part of herself to save a woman she had disliked since childhood was like a knife to her heart, and she knew it could be nting a time bomb for her own future.


    But she loved him, and she wanted to marry him.


    She never imagined her dream woulde true this way, but she had to ept it. Her lifelong wish was finally within reach. Even if i meant facing dangerter, she was willing. She wanted Timothy too much. A life without him would be more painful than death.


    Once they were married, Jessica would never be able toe back. She would


    have time. She would show him how much she loved him, she would be a good wife, and he would be happy with her.


    "Let''s go."


    When She finally uttered those two words, the tension finally drained from Timothy''s face.


    They went downstairs together, ready to leave.


    "Where are you two going?" Sandra asked.


    Now that She had agreed,


    Timothy saw no reason to hide the


    truth Jessica has liver cancer She


    She is a


    needs a transnt, and She at


    match. She has agreed to be the


    donor. I''m taking her to get the


    necessary tests done now."
