After all, he had been the one to suggest marriage in the first place.
He had wanted to give Sharon a title; to give her a home.
“Sharon, I-"

“Jensen, you don’t need to say anything. | know | took a place that was never meant to be mine. Now that
Natalie's back, I'll step aside for her. Let’s go to City Hall and get divorced.”
Her words made Jensen pause.
until now, that had indeed been his plan.
He had already failed Natalie once; he couldn't betray her a second time.
This time, once he saw her again, he was determined to win her back.
He had been agonizing over how to bring up the subject of divorce with Sharon, but he never expected her to
take the initiative herself.
Looking at her pale face, her fragile frthat seemed like it could collapse at any moment- remembering how
she had given up one of her ribs to save his life five years ago-Jensen’s heart softened.
“Enough. My attitude was wrong before. Now that | know Natalie's alive, I'll fight for her. As for you... focus on
your health. We'll talk about divorce later.”
In the end, Jensen couldn't bring himself to agree to divorce Sharon right then.

The Summers family wasn’t as strong as it once had been; if he abandoned her now, Sharon might truly die even
faster. How could he treat the woman who had saved his life so cruelly?
Natalie didn’t know what had happened five years ago. As long as he carefully explained that debt of gratitude,
Natalie would understand.
Sharon listened to his words. Even though she had achieved the outcshe wanted, her chest still felt
unbearably tight.
She hadn't missed the shift in his emotions.
If she hadn't mentioned divorce first today, she knew very well Jensen would have.

For Natalie's sake, he really had been prepared to leave her.
Sharon's fingers twisted hard into her thigh as tears slipped down her face.

“Jensen, if I'd known my illness would cause you this much pain, | never should've cback.”
“Don’t say that.”
The anguish in Jensen's voice deepened.
“I'll handle everything with Natalie. But once she’s back, don’t see her; don’t go after her. Can you just... live in
peace with her-for me?”
His words filled Sharon with hatred, though she didn’t dare let it show.
“I just don’t want her to make things hard for me.”
Her voice was soft, but it carried the perfect amount of wounded grievance.
Jensen quickly assured her, “She won't. I'll have people protect you. In the tyou have left, | won't let anyone
harm you. What happens betweenand Natalie has nothing to do with you; we’ll deal with it ourselves. All you
need to do is focus on your health.”
When he finished, he instructed Hansel to take Sharon home.
She rose weakly to her feet-only to faint right in front of him.
“Sharon!”
Panic shot through Jensen.
“Call an ambulance, now!”
He scooped her into his arms and rushed downstairs.
The ambulance arrived quickly.
Sharon was taken straight into the emergency room.
Johnson's face went pale with anger.
“Sharon, what gare you playing now? How am | supposed to explain this to Jensen? That the cancer has
already spread? That you're about to die? Are you planning to fake your own death?”

Seeing that the room was filled only with her own people, Sharon finally sat up. Her eyes were sharp and
venomous. “Fake my death? | worked too hard to take the title of Mrs. Luke-why would | throw that away? Just
say | fainted from low blood sugar brought on by stress. There’s no need to mention cancer.”
“Are you out of your mind? You'll never be able to wrap this up cleanly.”
Johnson paced the room in agitation, regretting ever teaming up with such a foolish woman.
But Sharon's voice was cold. “Wrap it up? Once Natalie is dead, everything will be wrapped up. | told you to find
out where she is-did you?”
Johnson sighed in frustration. “Natalie’s movements are impossible to track. All we know is that she set up a
stuoverseas and is now working with Grant International Holdings. And you know as well as | do-we have no
way of reaching people at that level.”
“Why is she always so lucky? Switched at birth, she enjoyed eighteen years of luxury that should've been mine.
Not even a fire could kill her-and now she’s managed to land Grant International Holdings? Damn her!”
Sharon was seething, consumed with the urge to tear Natalie into pieces.
Johnson, unwilling to listen to more of her ranting, had his staff give Sharon sroutine care before wheeling
her back out.
“Mr. Jensen, Ms. Sharon’s been emotionally unstable lately. Combined with low blood sugar, that’s why she
fainted. It's nothing serious.”
He had no choice but to stick to Sharon's story.
Jensen let out a breath of relief.
“Her health is holding up, then?”
Under Jensen's searching gaze, Johnson found-for the first time-the words stuck in his throat.
