Chapter 143
The moment Lucas learned that Anne could be cured, he finally smiled.
Tears of joy streamed down his face. "This is amazing! Thank you so much, Ms. Yates! You saved Anne's life, but
we have nothing to give you in return. As long as you don't mind, Anne and | will do whatever you say!"
Tessa's face also lit up with a bright smile. The second she heard the bone marrow was a match and Anne could
have the surgery soon, she finally felt relieved.
She held onto Stephen's arm. "I'm just happy | could help Anne. But you should really be thanking my fiancé.

But the moment Yanis opened the door, she let out a scream and dropped the food box.
Zachary was gripping a knife and slicing his own wrist open.
She rushed over and grabbed his hand. "Zachary, what are you doing? Don't do this. You're scaring me!"
Tears streamed down her face. "Why would you do something so stupid? What's eating you up inside? How am |

The bedsheet was soaked in blood. The gash on Zachary's wrist wouldn't stop bleeding.
His eyes were empty, his face blank.
He didn't hear a single word Yanis said. The only thing that sank in was that Tessa
