Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 563 His to Keep

Taylor gently reassured her, "The anesthesia has worn off, so the pain is normal. Just focus on resting for now. I'll stay with you."

But the real concern wasn't the success of the surgery but whether her body would accept the new heart.

The moment Anna entertained the thought of escaping, it completely overtook her mind.

That idea rooted and grew inside her. Every day, she thought about nothing else but running away. Her body wasn't adapting well to the new heart. She was experiencing rejection symptoms, and her condition had worsened.

Taylor often looked at her with deep affection. "Anna, I promise I'll cure you."

But she didn't care about her health. The only thing on her mind was escaping and warning the Sanders.

She endured patiently, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

She had only one chance. She couldn't afford to fail.

For now, Taylor still trusted her. She would lose every ounce of freedom she had left if he ever caught wind of her plans.

She waited for a long time. Her worsening condition and the situation with Wisteria made Taylor more protective than ever.

During that period, he took her across multiple countries, seeking out top-tier specialists to completely cure her. But none of them could offer a permanent solution. Besides taking her medication and resting, there was nothing else to be done.

The best and worst option was another surgery to resolve the issue at its core. But even that wouldn't guarantee success; not every heart was a perfect match. Taylor became obsessed, poring over medical books, advancing his studies, and even diving into holistic medication.

Anna calculated the time. Wisteria was probably about to make her move. She couldn't wait any longer. She had to leave.

Her 18th birthday was approaching. By now, Wisteria was likely already at the Sanders.

Because it was her coming-of-age celebration, Taylor had gone all out.
