CHAPTER 838: CHAPTER 838: FOR HER, EVERYTHING IS WORTH IT

In the suburban villa, Zane Crawford raised his slender, fair fingers to undo his black coat, standing coldly and magnificently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Soon, a "knock knock" sound came from the door, and Wade Wyatt entered, respectfully reporting in a low voice, "Master, the black van has been destroyed. Titus Ashworth’s men haven’t found us here, it’s very safe."

It was Zane Crawford who saved Serena Sterling.

Zane’s incomparable handsome face showed no extra expression. At this moment, Wade said again, "Master, this is Westria, it’s Titus Ashworth’s territory, and now he’s turning the whole place upside down looking for us... Master, risking so much for Miss Sterling, getting involved in the war between Westria’s Alani and The Merfolk Clan, is it worth it?"

Zane recalled the underground medical research base over four years ago when Serena hadn’t given up on him, so how could he abandon her now?

"It’s worth it," Zane said two words.

Everything is worth it for her.

Wade placed a sealed dossier on the desk, "Master, according to intelligence, Hayden Crawford’s blood is very special, it is the blood of innocence. Given the hatred between Westria and Alani, Hayden and Miss Sterling probably won’t be able to be together in this lifetime."

Saying this, Wade cautiously glanced at Zane’s handsome face, "Master, if you like Miss Sterling, now... is a good time."

A good time to take advantage of the situation.

Zane glanced at the sealed dossier on the desk but said nothing. Nobody knew what he was thinking. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Tomorrow, I want to see Hayden Crawford’s blood test report."

Wade paused, wondering why his master wanted Hayden Crawford’s blood test report?

Could it be that the master wants to analyze Hayden Crawford’s special blood?

Why?

What was the master thinking?

Despite having many questions, Wade didn’t dare ask a word; he just nodded respectfully, "Yes."

Now Zane Crawford roams the medical world, controlling the largest genetic database system globally; obtaining Hayden Crawford’s blood data is very simple.

Zane walked out of the study and arrived at the door to Serena Sterling’s room. Inside, the maid had just come out, holding a bowl of bird’s nest soup.

The bird’s nest soup hadn’t been touched, it was clear Serena hadn’t eaten a bite.

"Sir, Miss Sterling said she has no appetite," the maid said with difficulty.

Zane reached out and took the bird’s nest soup, "You can leave."

"Yes." The maid retreated.

Zane, holding the bird’s nest soup, pushed open the room door. At a glance, he saw Serena Sterling, who was now sitting alone on the soft lambswool carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She was curling her legs, hugging her knees with both hands, her clear bright eyes looking out the window, quietly lost in thought.

Zane walked over and sat down beside her, "What are you thinking about?"

Serena’s pale eyes gradually focused; she turned her head to look at Zane, "Zane, thank you for saving me, but you shouldn’t have gotten involved, it’s very dangerous."

Zane lightly curled his thin lips into a soft smile, "I thought... we were friends."

Serena chuckled and smiled.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Serena felt very cold, wrapping her slender arms around herself for a bit of warmth, "I need to hurry back to Alani."

This time going back to Alani, she was to inherit the queen’s position.

Zane listened silently as Serena continued, "But... before going back to Alani, I still have some matters to resolve, some people to deal with."

When Serena spoke these words, she regained her usual brilliance, mixed with sharp wisdom and a few moments of composure.

Zane’s eyes were bright and clear; he knew this was the Serena he knew. She never feared any obstacles in the world and grew stronger in the face of battle.

"Do you need me to help you with anything?"

"I want to see Grandma and Aunt Hua before the moon is full."

Zane nodded, "I heard Titus Ashworth and The Merfolk Clan princess took Grandmother and Aunt back and will publicly display them at Xuanwu Gate tomorrow. I know some people who can disguise you to get in tomorrow."

"Titus Ashworth and The Merfolk Clan princess know I will definitely go tomorrow; they’ve already set up a trap awaiting me there."

"And you’ll still go?"

"Go, of course, I will!" Serena curled her red lips, "Not only will I go, but I will also bring Grandma and Aunt back home."

She wanted to bring them all back. Alani was their home; she couldn’t leave them in Westria.

"Are you confident? Bringing Grandma and Aunt back safely through a trap isn’t an easy task."

Serena looked to the distance outside the floor-to-ceiling window, "I have my ways."

...

In front of Xuanwu Gate.

The guards threw Grandma and Aunt out, surrounded by an onlooking crowd pointing and talking,

"I heard they’re from Alani, trying to assassinate Lord Ashworth but instead squashed."

"Shh, speak quietly, I heard these people were all instructed by the Alani Princess. Now Lord Ashworth has issued an order to hunt her down; they’re searching for the Alani Princess nationwide, turning her into a fugitive."

Now Titus Ashworth and The Merfolk Clan princess stood on the throne, overlooking the happenings below, Titus Ashworth said, "Do you think Serena Sterling will really come?"

The Merfolk Clan princess nodded, "She will come, she surely will."

At that moment, a slender figure appeared among the crowd; Serena Sterling came. Today, she was wearing a white cloak with a hat, her face hidden, slowly walking over.

Serena walked through the crowd, standing in front of Grandma and Aunt. The few lively lives as of yesterday were now all devastated.

Serena looked at them and whispered inside her heart, Grandma, Aunt, I am here, I’m bringing you home now.

One Short Story Every Day by Lillian Willow

Isabelle Willow clung to Jude Crawford like a koala bear; seeing this, the young talents around tactfully left.

Jude Crawford promptly withdrew his strong arm from her little hand, his sharp sword eyebrows furrowing as he looked at her, displeased, "Miss, please behave yourself!"

Having said that, he turned around and got into the business luxury car, leaving her with a cold and indifferent figure.

Secretary Riley Sutton: Why does the CEO feel like he’s been flirted with by a girl all of a sudden?

Jude Crawford got inside the business luxury car, "Drive."

"Yes."

As the business luxury car started, Isabelle stood gracefully in her dress outside the car, looking at him with a radiant smile and said, "Isabelle Willow! That’s my name! I’m Isabelle Willow!"

Jude Crawford’s heart stirred, "Isabelle Willow," the name echoed in his ears, inseparable.

The next time Jude Crawford encountered the name "Isabelle Willow" was at a design competition held by The Crawford Group, where Riley handed him the list of participants.
