Chapter 1110 - 1119: I’m Afraid

"Anna wouldn’t be so happy receiving the certificate without you."

In the video, there’s not a hint of unhappiness in Anna; her face and eyes are filled with joy.

Serena Sullivan called, still afraid that Anna Morgan would remember everything in the end and blame Carter Lockwood, which would yet again stir up their relationship.

Tired!

Her own love is too exhausting, and she doesn’t want her best friend to become so worn out.

"Carter, hearing you say that, I feel relieved. Please take good care of Anna."

"Okay!"

Carter agreed, "I will!"

After calling Carter Lockwood, Finn Chandler followed closely afterward.

Ultimately, still not assured about Anna.

Finn heard Serena relay Carter’s words and was silent for a while.

"No matter what, there’s no one better for Anna than Carter."

Wanting to manage Anna Morgan and Carter’s matters, but they couldn’t interfere too much.

"By the way, Serena." Finn remembered another matter, "You’re about to give birth, aren’t you?"

"The due date is next month."

"Ethan Grant has returned to Solaria."

"Yes!"

Serena responded, "An important partner needs to see him; he has to go back."

"What’s wrong?"

She sensitively sensed something amiss from Finn’s words.

Finn chuckled, "It’s nothing, just wanted to tell you the partner is a woman, a young, beautiful, capable woman."

"Oh!"

"Serena, are you afraid?"

They are friends who speak openly, and after Finn asked this, there was silence.

"Should I be afraid?"

Serena paused, recalling the twists and turns with Ethan Grant over the years, "Am I afraid he’ll fall for someone else?"

"He won’t!"

Finn said with certainty.

The relationship between Serena and Ethan is more exhausting than anyone else’s; they’ve overcome so many obstacles to be together, Ethan could never betray her.

"I know."

Serena nodded, "It’s just that, Finn, I’m still afraid!"

Truly, she doesn’t know why, but Serena’s tear threshold is noticeably lower than before she was pregnant.

"I’m afraid I can’t give him a child, I’m afraid The Grant Family won’t have an heir."

"Does Ethan Grant still prefer sons over daughters?"

Finn teased with a laugh.

"He wants a daughter, I want a son."

"And maybe my body can’t bear a second one." Serena’s voice softened, she gently stroked her belly with one hand.

Whether a son or daughter, she loves them both.

"Serena, are you hiding something else from us?"

Listening to Serena’s words, Finn had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What else could there be!"

"I’ve just faced life and death three times, I’m scared."

"Afraid I haven’t lived enough, that I might leave before him."

Finn has Julian Ford, Anna Morgan has Carter, but Ethan Grant!

If something happens to her, he would be left alone.

Thus, she’s determined to give him a child, preferably a son, to help him share the burdens.

"Serena." Finn couldn’t bear hearing Serena say such sad things, "Don’t talk like that, it makes people uncomfortable."

"Mordecai saved you from King Yama, so you will be safe and sound, destined for longevity."

"Mm!" Serena smiled and hung up the phone, standing under the big tree at the old Sterling Family residence, gazing at everything beyond the high walls.

Mordecai said she survived, but never mentioned she would live long.

Though this life seems revived, inside it’s scarred and battered.

Serena couldn’t help but redden her eyes, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Ethan Grant.
