No Wife, No Life Chapter 260

At this moment, she seemed a bit lost, like she didn't know what to do next.

She had hacked into Harper's system and knew Harper was troubled by Chloe's situation, which was why she provided the precise code data. She was extending an olive branch to Harper.

But to Harper, it seemed like she was just showing off her skills.

Harper would doubt her intentions in everything she did, never considering that she was genuinely trying to help this time.

She genuinely wanted to aid Harper, albeit partially due to Declan's influence.

But wasn't it natural for a mother to help her child?

"Declan, Harper won't forgive me."

Even when she offered to help Harper's partner, to help Caden walk again, Harper still refused.

Harper had outright rejected her.

She didn't know what else she could do to win Harper back.

"Declan, what should I do?"

Her head rested on the edge of the hospital bed, her voice barely a whisper.

She didn't notice Declan's eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if in response.

...

Majestic City.

The sky was gradually brightening.

From this direction, one could see the distant trees standing tall in the cold wind, looking desolate.

Harper sat silently, smoking a cigarette, the smoke curling around her ears. Perhaps she took too deep a breath and began to cough.

The smoke made her frown, and after just one puff, she stubbed out the cigarette in the crystal ashtray on the table.

On the table was a bottle of red wine, which she had taken out of the fridge last night. It was a bit chilled, so she had left it there.

She poured herself half a glass of wine, slowly swirling the glass, sinking into the soft sofa.

She wanted to ignore Alvina, but she couldn't.

Everyone around her knew Alvina and kept mentioning her.

They praised Alvina as a genius, lauded her for solving numerous national problems, and even talked about the men who pursued her.

Alvina was impressive. But could she really forgive Alvina?

Throughout these years, she had endured immeasurable suffering for Alvina's sake, weathering countless hardships within the Orsini family. How could she just let it go?

But Alvina's negotiation terms were something she cared deeply about.

She admitted she loved Caden. If it had started as a transaction, she now admitted she was deeply involved.

She truly loved him.

Because she loved Caden so much, she wanted to do heal his leg..

She wanted Caden to walk again, but despite hiring numerous medical teams, it had all come to nothing.

But now Alvina told her there was someone who could help Caden walk again.

Someone like Alvina, if she said it could be done, it must be done.

She took a sip of wine.

The wine seemed to relax her a bit.

She thought she might need to lower her guard for Caden's sake.

Harper thought for a long time before finally opening her email and quickly typing in code.

This was a vulnerability Alvina had left in her system, allowing her to find Alvina's overseas email and contact her anytime.

Harper typed and retyped her message several times before deleting it all.

She sent a very brief email, asking for a meeting.

At that moment, Alvina was still by Declan's side. Hearing her phone beep, she checked her email.

She was surprised. The only person who could email her there was Harper.

Her eyes sparkled as she quickly opened the email.

The content was just one sentence, but it was enough. It seemed Harper had figured it out.

She chose to yield for Caden.

A smile appeared on her lips. "Declan, I have good news. Harper finally wants to meet me."

After saying that, Alvina quickly replied with just a set of coordinates and a simple message: [Come here; someone will meet you.]

Seeing the email, Harper put down her wine glass and looked at the rising sun in the distance.

The world outside was gradually brightening, the city waking from its slumber.

It was a new day, and everything would get better.

She thought, Caden would get better.

Once he was better, they could sit here together and watch the sunrise and sunset.

Harper shut down her computer.

She rubbed her sore neck and returned to the master bedroom, her gaze falling on the still-sleeping Caden.

His face looked especially peaceful in sleep, a few strands of hair falling over his forehead, a faint smile on his lips.

She whispered, "Caden, I will make sure you walk again, I promise."

Hearing her voice, Caden slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Harper was already awake, sitting by the bed watching him.

Caden was slightly startled. He took Harper's hand and gently asked, "Why are you up so early? Do you want to sleep a bit more?"

"Okay." She obediently replied.

She took off her slippers, climbed into bed, and found the most comfortable spot in Caden's arms, resting her head on his chest, listening to his familiar heartbeat.

She closed her eyes, feeling his warmth, and held Caden's hand tightly. "Sing me a song."

"Okay." Caden softly sang a love song. His deep, magnetic voice had a soothing effect.

She had barely slept all night, but now listening to his voice, she finally fell into a deep sleep.

As Caden looked at Harper in his arms, he gently stroked her hair, holding her a little tighter.

In that moment, time seemed to stand still.

They listened to each other's heartbeats, their hearts closely connected, leaning on each other.

Unknowingly, she slept until noon.

Harper rubbed her sleepy eyes as she woke up, seeing the table already filled with her favorite dishes.

"Awake?"

Caden asked gently.

Harper nodded, stretching and taking a deep breath.

The delicious aroma made her hungry.

"The food looks great." He handed her a bowl of soup.

She took a sip, feeling the warm soup slide down her throat, awakening her senses.

She put down the bowl, looking at Caden, hesitating a bit. "Caden, I have something to tell you. I might need to go on a business trip in a few days."

Caden frowned slightly, putting down his utensils, looking serious. "Where are you going? FusionX Company doesn't have any business trips scheduled for you."

Recently, he had returned to FusionX Company and was familiar with her work schedule, but she didn't want to tell him she was going to see Alvina.

But then she thought, there was no need to hide it from him.

Harper took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm going to see Alvina."

For a moment, the room's atmosphere became heavy.

They both knew what this meant.

A complex emotion flashed in Caden's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and softly asked, "Why do you need to see her all of a sudden?"
