Chapter 184 Paolo suddenly keeled before lan, his face simaked with tears as he pleaded, “lan, you're the only one who can save Heidi now. Please save her She’s the apple of our family’s eye. Without her, our family would be lost.” lans temper flared to its peak, facing the accusations and Heidis weeping. He'd heard these pleas countless times before. Each time, he had compromised, considering the apport between their families.

But what about Clara? If he gave in to Heidi's requests now, it would be tantamount to publicly acknowledging ssort of bond between him and Heidi.

Just as he hesitated, Heidi accidentally slipped, letting out a scream as she tumbled downstairs.

tan lunged forward and grabbed her wrist, his arm scraping against the rough roof tiles, leaving behind a few scratches on his arm. Grinding his teeth, he said, “You want up, or you want a death wish? I can grant either” Faced with lan’s icy demeanor, Heidi was truly frightened. Still, she gambled with her life on the line, believing it’s now or never Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head, “Without you, lan, Id rather be dead” She attempted to pry lan’s hand off her wrist, but behind lan, the pleas from the Campbell family grew louder, mingled with the crowd’s judgmental whispers.

lan had never found himself in such a dire situation. With a fierce bite of his teeth, he grunted, “I can only treat you like a sister. Get up With that statement, Heidi ceased to struggle. She watched lan, a relieved smile breaking through her tears. “As long as you don’t ignore me, I'm happy to be treated as your sister for life. She extended her other hand to lan Clara witnessing the scene, couldn't help but sneer. She had to admire Heidi's audacity. For the sake of getting close to lan, Heidi was willing to stake her life on it.

A sister for life? Hardly possible. What Haidi had always coveted was the title of Mrs. Hayes.

Clara didn’t want to watch any longer. This whole saga no longer had anything to do with her. Just moments before, she had considered giving lan another chance, moved by Rose's sincere appeal. Now it seemed unnecessary. She no longer wanted to be tangled in a love triangle At the hospital, Sasha was waiting impatiently. Spotting Clara, Sasha immediately clutched her hand. “Clara, you finally came. I thought you'd forgotten about me.” Clara smiled, “How could 1? Traffic was a nightmare. I'm late. Let's go.” Sasha had a sprained ankle and had been in the hospital for a few days. Clara was there to pick her up. Little did Clara expect such a dramatic encounter.

She picked up Sashas luggage and walked out, the hospital buzzing with gossip. Curious, Sasha asked, “I heard someone tried to jump off the roof. Did you see it? Who was it?” “It was Heidi Clara replied calmly.

At the mention of the name, Sasha's frustration surged. “lap, that jerk, did he go to save her again? Clara, I'm telling you, even if that loser begs you on his knees, don’t you dare get back with him. With Heidi in the mix, you can forget about any reconciliation.” Clara gave a nonchalant smile, “No worries, it's over between him and me. Let's get in the car. My dad made ssoup for you.” Sasha’s mood brightened at the mention of food, “Casey always takes such good care of me. I miss his cooking after two months of eating on set.

They drove hwhere Anders was waiting in the yard. He watched Clara with concern filling his eyes. “Did you see what happened at the hospital?” She nodded lightly, “Yeah” Anders stepped closer and tenderly ruffled her hair. “Clara, I won't force you to make any choices, but I want you to know that no matter what happens, whenever you're ready to turn around, 11I be right here waiting for you!”
