Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 1067:

Before this moment, Eric had wielded Joy’s health as a bargaining chip, coercing Hadley into accepting his proposal.

Now that Hadley had found her daughter a matching donor, that leverage had vanished.

A gentle smile graced Hadley’s lips. “Joy is my daughter, and I’ll cherish her always. You needn’t worry.”

Was he really never going to turn his back on Joy?

Hadley’s gaze flickered with surprise. She had entertained the thought before but hadn’t dared stake Joy’s future on it.
