Chapter 12
Rebecca never expected this matter to be exposed. She was so frightened that she suddenly knelt down in front of Jason.
“Jason, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to treat my sister like that, but I really like you so much. I didn’t want anyone to take you away from me, so I had no choice but to do that. I know I was wrong, Jason, please don’t be angry, okay…”
Jason’s chest heaved with anger and his hand clenched into a fist at his side. He gritted his teeth and said, “What’s the point of knowing you’re wrong? Karen… she… she can’t come back. I really regret marrying you. Tomorrow morning, I’ll file for a divorce. Don’t come near me again.
Rebecca shook her head in tears, pleading not to be left, but Jason seemed to not hear her. He simply walked past her and left, indifferent to her cries.
Jason took Karen’s artificial heart back home. As soon as he entered, he bumped into his mother, who had just returned as well.!! Halley immediately noticed the artificial heart in his arms, paused for a moment and then asked in confusion, “Why did you bring a heart.
back home?
“This is Karen’s heart, Jason replied coldly
Hearing that it was Karen’s, Halley was immediately stunned. “Did you kill her? Otherwise, why would her heart be in your hands?”
After Karen abandoned them, Halley didn’t harbor much hatred but felt deeply disappointed. She had treated Karen like her own daughter and never expected that the person she had always cared for would abandon her when things got tough. For these years, she had been reluctant to talk about Karen. But upon hearing that the heart in Jason’s hands was Karen’s, her heart ached uncontrollably.
The heart had been removed, so Karen must have died
She hadn’t expected Jason to harbor such deep resentment toward Karen.
Jason noticed his mother’s misunderstanding and explained in a low voice, “How could I have killed her? This is her artificial heart. It stopped working today and she passed away. Her original heart is inside me.“}
Hearing this. Halley was stunned for a moment, then slowly reacted. “You’re saying the kind person who donated you the heart was Karen?”

Jason nodded, his voice choked with emotion as he replied, “And the n Swanson Family, becoming a blood bag for Rebecca in exchange.” These words made Halley freeze. She stared at Jason in disbelief. “Are you saying all of this is true? Then where is Karen now? I want to see her.”
This question pierced Jason’s heart like a thom. The tears he had barely managed to suppress surged up again. His voice was hoarse as he said, “She… is no longer here. Other than this artificial heart, everything of hers has been donated. She signed a confidentiality. agreement during her life and I can’t find her”
These words hit Halley’s head like a heavy hammer. Her face turned pale and the next moment, tears uncontrollably started to fall!! She shakily walked in front of Jason, holding the heart close to her chest. Through her sobs, she said, “Karen, I’m sorry, it’s us who failed you. You gave so much for us and we kept blaming you. Have you been suffering all these years? We never even bothered to visit you. If we had gone to see you sooner, maybe we would have discovered your struggles. I’m so sorry…
The more Halley spoke, the more heartbroken she became and soon she was crying uncontrollably. Although Jason didn’t cry, as he looked at Karen’s heart, his eyes were filled with unshed tears.
That night, neither of the Greene Family members slept. They sat by Karen’s artificial heart all night. As soon as the dawn broke, Jason immediately filed for divorce from Rebecca, then revoked all of the Greene Family’s business deals with the Swanson Familly. It led to severe financial losses for the Swanson Family and nearly caused them to go bankrupt.
When Rowan leamed about this, he blamed all of the responsibility on Rebecca. After beating her, he locked her up, forbidding her from leaving the house without his permission.”
For Rebecca, this was undoubtedly a form of torture. She could only force her father to listen to her through increasingly erratic behavior, but Rowan.completely ignored her frustrations, only increasing her confinement. He vowed that Rebecca would never leave the house again for the rest of her life.
Before long, due to the overwhelming pressure, Rebecca developed mental health issues. Rowan had no choice but to send her to a psychiatric hospital-
On Jason’s side, he carefully preserved Karen’s artificial heart, keeping it as a memento. He then organized a grand funeral for her, inviting everyone who had been part of her life to bid her farewell!!
Additionally, Jason learned that Karen had purchased a plot of land for her grave while she was alive. She had also entrusted a box containing their shared memories to the cemetery keeper. Upon discovering this, he immediately went to retrieve the metal box. When he opened it and saw the necklace that Karen had so carefully protected, his eyes once again filled with tears.
In utter despair, he clutched the necklace to his chest and cried uncontrollably. “Karen, I know I was wrong. Please come back.”
