“How did you get the people to help you? And where did you get the money?"


    When Martin posed the question, Serena couldn''t even muster the courage to meet his gaze. "It was all left to me by my father


    before he passed. Both the people and the money.”


    Even though Martin had suspected her all along, hearing the words fall from her lips and seeing the guilt etched across her face


    tore through him like a jagged de.


    Tears spilled from his eyes once again, hisposure crumbling. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to hold back the volcanic


    surge of emotion, but it was no use. With frustrationcing his tone, he pressed, "Is it really you?"


    Serena was taken aback by his reaction. What did he mean? Did he have no actual proof and had all this been a ploy to trap her


    into a confession?


    Had she been yed?


    The sound of a recording echoed in the room as Fitch yed back her own words from his phone.


    "You two?" Serena''s eyes darted between Martin and Fitch, reeling from the realization that they had teamed up to trick her into

    But now she had to swallow her pride; she couldn''tsh out.


    After all, Martin was her rock, her lifeline. If she lost him, she''d be left with nothing.


    "Martin." Serena reached out to touch his hand.


    "Don''t you dare," Martin''s heart shattered into a million pieces, his voice now ragged with grief and betrayal, "How could you be


    so cruel"


    He was filled with loathing, loathing his past arrogance and ignorance, and that he hadn''t listened to his family, causing them


    undue suffering.


    "You don''t deserve.” As Martin''s gazended on the jewelry he had given her, the clothes he had bought for her, the custom


    wheelchair he had arranged for her, regret gnawed at him.


    She didn''t deserve his affection.


    "Get out." Martin closed his eyes, struggling to tame the storm of emotions. After a moment, he managed to speak, "From now


    on, stay out of my sight, get as far away as possible. | never want to see you again!"


    Serena felt a chill pierce her heart.


    She couldn''t believe that the man before her, who had once vowed to always be by her side no matter what, could fall out of love


    with her.

    Clutching the critical notice from the nurse, Martin seemed to find a new strength, no longer appearing as helpless and


    frightened as before.


    He knew Arabe was on the same floor, and after saving his mother, she would surely find a way to save his sister.


    So he replied with a steady voice, "I''ll sign itter."
