"So, Celine, are you saying that you need Mr. Hampton's heart's blood to save me?" Fiona asked.
Celine nodded. "Yes. Once his blood is taken, Mr. Hampton will die without question. Eclipse venom is one of the most treacherous poisons—anyone afflicted with it is doomed. The only way to defy fate is to trade one life for another. Mr. Hampton, are you willing to sacrifice your life to save Ms. Jakeman?"
Fiona was stunned, unable to comprehend that her survival would come at such a steep price. If this was the only way, then either she or Nigel had to die.
"No!"
"Yes!"
The words came at the same time—Fiona's refusal and Nigel's acceptance.
Fiona stared at Nigel in shock. Nigel, however, spoke with resolve. "Celine, take my heart's blood. I'm willing to give my life for hers."
Fiona gasped in horror. "Nigel, have you lost your mind? If you give your heart's blood, you'll die for sure! I don't want you sacrificing your life for mine! You don't have to do this. I don't want to owe you anything!"
Nigel didn't even look at Fiona. His gaze was locked on Celine. "Let's begin."
Fiona grabbed Nigel's arm. "Nigel, I don't want you to save me! Do you hear me? Celine, don't listen to him—I don't agree to this!"
Celine watched the tense interaction between them, a smirk playing on her lips. "Mr. Hampton, there's no need to rush Ms. Jakeman's treatment. I can use acupuncture to neutralize the poison in her body temporarily.
"But since you've decided to trade your life for hers, I'm sure you have plenty to take care of—your vast business empire, your considerable fortune. Why don't you handle everything first and then come back for the procedure? How does that sound?"
Celine was offering him time to write his will.
Nigel fell quiet for a moment. "Fine. I'll take care of everything first. After that, you can have my heart's blood."
Celine nodded. "That works."
He turned to Fiona. "Rest well. I'll be back soon."
"Nigel, you—"

Now for next I want the two of them to know their daughter is always with them this whole time. Don't go another path now dear Author coz I'm getting tired of seeing Carly's name ruining Celine's life....
All I want is Nigel and Fiona to discover Celine as their daughter and kill that Carly b*tch 😌😌😌...
