RedNovelChapter 1193 Echoes of Sacrifice
"Did you mention your photography skills when you applied?"
"In a few days, you'll capture the official engagement announcement photo for the client and her fiancé at the birthday party. How
does that sound?"
"There's extra payment on the table."
Lucy gave a decisive nod and reached for her phone, switching it off. At that moment, a glimmer of anticipation shone in her eyes,
hinting at the promising opportunities ahead.
Shemitted to the event planning job for threepelling reasons.
Firstly, she feared that Alexis might attempt to gain custody of Lennon without a stable career, leaving her without the means to
fight back.
Secondly, in moments of idle reflection, thoughts of Lennon would inevitably cloud her mind, stirring melancholy that she sought to
deflect through purposeful activity.
And lastly...

She gently placed her hand over her liver, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. The severity of her cirrhosis often inflicts excruciating
pain, a constant reminder of the fragility of her health.
Her condition had forced Lucy to step away from her role as a frontline doctor. The risk of falling ill during surgery posed an
unacceptable danger to her patients’ lives, a reality she couldn't ignore.
Despite the weight of her decision, Lucy suppressed her sorrow and picked up her phone. With a steadying breath, sheposed
her reply. "Okay," she typed, "I'll accept the raise."
Lucy had promised Lennon she would finish planning the event so that she would follow through despite any challenges.
As for Violet's intentions—was she trying to see Lucy upset?
If that was the case, Lucy thought fiercely, Violet could watch all she wanted.
Lucy had already tasted defeat in their relationship, so she faced the prospect of another wound without fear.
Furthermore, how could she possibly anticipate whether Lennon might exploit Alexis as retribution due to a minor disagreement?
Alexis was now her sole pillar of support.
Despite her failing health, Lucy refused to relinquish her determination to protect Alexis.
She entertained the thought that if she couldn't continue, Alexis and Big would grow up side by side.
Handing her child over to Cherise eased her mind, offering a sense of solace.
She hoped this choice would spare Alexis from experiencing the svulnerabilities she had witnessed in her father.
"Tellthe truth..."
Lucy's voice echoed in the quiet bedroom, sending a shiver down her spine.
Wrapped in a blanket, she lifted her head, her eyes dark pools of sorrow. "Lennon, what's going to happen to him in the end? Is he
going to die?"
If he hadn't been determined to die, he wouldn't have taken such decisive actions, right?
Cherise used to believe Lennon's feelings for Lucy were not strong enough to keep her by his side, which influenced his behavior.
However, recent events suggested a different truth altogether.
He deliberately pushed her aside, even facilitating her relationship with another man by removing any hindrances, all to ensure
that Lucy had the opportunity to be with him.

It wasn't a lack of caring; it was a deep and selfless love, willing to make sacrifices and be released when needed.
Cherise also understood that Lennon, like Damien, was fundamentally aggressive.
They were cunning and powerful and believed themselves superior in body and mind.
People like them didn't easily relinquish what they valued—unless they knew their twas short.
Damien poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "This is the worst-case scenario."
He sighed heavily, reaching up to tuck Cherise's hair behind her ear. "It all hinges on how much he truly despises the Belcourt
family."
Tears welled in Cherise's eyes, falling into her glass as she bit her lip. "l don't understand why it has to be like this..."
"Is a blood feud always meant to be avenged?" Cherise questioned with a heavy heart.
"For a man, unfortunately, yes," Damien responded, his tone tinged with reluctance.
Contrary to Cherise's sorrow, Damien remainedposed. "I've known Lenn for nearly twenty years. I'm more hesitant than
anyone."
"But, since he's made this choice, | can see where he'sing from."
