CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 891: SWEET EPILOGUE (FINAL)

Role-Playing Chronicle

Serena Sterling was busy day after day, but she had cut down on many dinner gatherings, especially those opportunities to meet with young guys, she avoided them whenever possible.

The boss at home was quite the jealous type, truly... the sweetest burden.

Hayden Crawford’s health had improved; during the check-up, the shadow near his heart had disappeared, and he had healed automatically.

One day, Serena was in her room studying the latest medical report when Hayden Crawford pushed the door open and entered.

Serena quickly grabbed the book to cover her little face, looking frightened, "Ah, who are you? How did you break into my room?"

Hayden Crawford glanced at her with boredom.

"Don’t come near!" Serena got up and ran to the corner of the room, crouching defensively. She wore a white knitted sweater with a wide collar lazily exposing a hint of her fragrant shoulder, her long black hair remained pure and soft as ever, and her bright eyes watched him vigilantly, "Don’t covet my beauty; I...I have a husband!"

Hayden Crawford stood by the door with his hands in his pockets for a while, then turned around and left.

"..."

Serena looked at his elegant back, her red lips pouted—Mr. Crawford really didn’t understand romance.

She wanted to call him back.

But in the next second, what did she see?

Hayden Crawford turned back, walked in, and closed the door. He raised his slender fingers and started unbuttoning his shirt, approaching her.

Serena’s finely combed feathers trembled in shock, "You...what are you...are you trying to do?"

Hayden Crawford came over, half-kneeled, reached out his palm, and cupped her small face, "Good, woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention!"

"..."

"Hurry up, my wife will be back soon!"

"..."

The Big Bad Wolf, Mr. Crawford!

Their life was sweet and spicy, like Hayden Crawford once said, each day with her felt like a romance.

...

Second Child Scare

Serena Sterling hadn’t been feeling well recently, was drowsy, and as a doctor, alarm bells were ringing in her mind.

She checked her pulse, unsure if it was due to being too tired lately, her pulse seemed a bit chaotic.

To be safe, she planned to go to the hospital tomorrow for a pregnancy blood test.

That night, Serena had a nightmare.

She was alone in Alani, giving birth to Caden Crawford and Gael Crawford, and little Willow Crawford. At that time, Mr. Crawford wasn’t by her side, she was in pain and scared but had to be strong.

Serena woke up, discovering her face was wet—she had cried.

It was already late at night, she still nestled in Hayden Crawford’s embrace, his strong arm serving as her pillow, holding her securely.

At that moment, Serena allowed herself to be weak, snuggling into his warm embrace, soaking her tear-streaked face into his chest.

His body warmth and scent gave her a sense of security.

Hayden Crawford quickly woke up, "Serena, what’s wrong?"

He lifted his large hand to touch her small face, feeling her tears.

Hayden Crawford panicked, quickly turned on the bedside lamp, his hand weaving through her black hair, cradling her pitiable tear-drenched face, asking anxiously, "What happened, did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid, tell me about it."

Serena grabbed his pajamas, burying her little head, "Mr. Crawford, I feel like I’m pregnant, so I had a nightmare... I don’t want to have more children, having one is enough..."

Regarding the second child, she hadn’t discussed it with him yet. Hayden Crawford was a good father, financially stable, they were still young, having another child was possible.

But she didn’t want another one.

"Ah, that’s the reason..." Hayden Crawford curled his thin lips, "Alright, Serena, we won’t have another child."

"Really?"

"Really."

The next morning, Hayden Crawford accompanied Serena to have the pregnancy check-up; the report showed that she wasn’t pregnant.

Serena walked out happily, not noticing Hayden Crawford.

She searched around and then saw Hayden Crawford coming out from a surgery room.

"Mr. Crawford, why did you go into the surgery room?"

At that moment, the doctor came out, "Prof. Sterling, Mr. Crawford just underwent a vasectomy."

Vasectomy?

Once a man undergoes a vasectomy, he loses the ability to father children.

Serena looked at Hayden Crawford in shock.

Hayden Crawford hugged her soft shoulder, guiding her all the way home. He spoke softly, "Serena, we won’t have another child, you are the treasure in my palm."

...

At Last, Love’s Resonance.

Right before the wedding, something terrible happened; a contagious disease suddenly broke out in Zone E, infecting many overnight.

Serena Sterling received the news first, quickly heading to Zone E.

The entire Zone E began closed isolation, Serena and Hayden Crawford lost all contact.

At the peak of winter, snow blocked roads, various difficulties led to severe shortages in medical supplies, alarms kept sounding.

Soon, the difficulties were resolved, large amounts of medical supplies were flown in by air, with a big "Crawford" carved on the surface.

Serena Sterling looked at this "Crawford" character, her soft finger gently caressing it repeatedly, her heart softened.

"Prof. Sterling, it’s time to go."

"Alright." Serena Sterling withdrew her gaze, turned and marched forward.

Soon, Serena was exhausted, from daily high-pressure work to direct exposure to infected patients, her fever began, possibly infected.

Serena rejected everyone and began self-isolation.

She lay on the hospital bed, drowsy, then felt the door opening, someone entering.

Serena opened her eyes and saw a tall and noble figure.

Hayden Crawford had arrived.

He wore a white isolation suit, his handsome brows lowered, looking at her gently.

Serena’s eyes constricted, how did he come here?

This was a quarantine area!

Once you enter, there’s a risk of getting infected!

Serena opened her mouth, wanting to speak, to sternly scold him, to make him leave immediately.

But in the next second, Hayden Crawford reached out and removed the oxygen mask from her face, then leaned in, gently kissing her red lips.

"Shh, don’t speak. You’re not Prof. Sterling right now, but my Serena, I just lent you out to them for a while, now, I’m taking you back."

Luckily, Serena wasn’t infected, just worn out.

After a brief rest, Serena continued her work, Hayden Crawford managed the outside logistics.

When it all ended, it was the following spring, the large closed doors opened with a "bang," Serena removed her protective mask and stepped outside.

The sky was clear and bright, the sunlight splendid, surrounded by people, filled with post-disaster joy.

In the crowd, Serena immediately spotted the familiar and beloved figure.

Hayden Crawford stood there, never absent.

Today, he wore a black cashmere coat, golden sunlight adorning him with a brilliant edge, softly looking at her, smiling, then gradually opening his strong arms, "Mrs. Crawford, welcome home."

Serena ran over, plunging into his arms.

His kiss fell on her tears.

In the world, there are countless loves, but only you are the direction of my heart and the source of my affection.

At this moment, his kiss upon her tears is the final resonance of love.

You’re waiting for the wind.

I’m waiting for you.

I give myself to you.

-Darlings, ta-da, throw the confetti, the main couple has almost reached the end here, there will be a little wedding scene, and then they’ll officially step back and appear as special guests in other stories, thank you for being here all along, mwah mwah.
