"I asked you to chwithonce-just once-to meet my parents, and you said the Cobb family likes to stay out of outside affairs, that your 'brother' wouldn't approve! What are you, Gavin? A grown man or sboy still taking orders from his big brother?" She turned on Gavin, seething. "I asked you to chwithonce-just once-to meet my parents, and you said the Cobb family likes to stay out of outside affairs, that your 'brother' wouldn't approve! What are you, Gavin? A grown man or sboy still taking orders from his big brother?" Gavin opened his mouth to explain, but his words failed him. "I... I..." Ryan spoke up, coming to Gavin's defense. "That's how the Cobb family operates. If you'd used Gavin's influence, he'd have been kicked out of the family. The Cobb family has always stood apart." "Standing apart? Givea break," Selena spat, looking more disdainful than ever.

Ellie, unable to hold back, snapped, "Who do you think you're talking about? If my father intervened in anyone's business here, who could stop him? The higher you are, the more you have to shoulder the responsibility that comes with it. I've never taken advantage of my father's power for personal gain. Why should my brother have to?" Selena gave a mocking laugh. "So, what good are any of you to me? Gavin was never useful to me! How could there ever be love when he couldn't even help me?" Gavin clenched his jaw. "Selena, I never realized that's what you thought..." "Of course you didn't." She looked at him bitterly. "How could you know? You grew up in comfort, never doubting who you are, protected by the family name. No one ever looked down on you. You couldn't possibly understand what it feels like to be scorned, belittled, left out of what should have been yours." Selena let out a sharp laugh, bitterness still strong in her voice. "I've fought all my life for a place at that table, resented people all my life, and look at what it got me. Cancer. If you'd just toldI had cancer, Gavin..." Gavin looked down. "I didn't want you to go through that fear. The doctors said if I told you, it might... shorten your time." Selena's expression softened for a split second. Then she gave a defeated smile. "But maybe if you'd told me, I'd have made peace with it. Maybe I would have used these last days better. It took this diagnosis to makerealize just how little all those names and titles mattered in the end." She took a step forward and gripped his arm, looking at him with desperate eyes. "I don't want to die, Gavin. Please. You can save me, right?" Gavin blinked, stunned. "What... what could I possibly do?"
Selena turned to Erin, her voice hopeful. "She has something that could helphold on a bit danger! You could takeabroad for treatment, buyjust one more month. Just one month to live like none of this mattered. Please, Gavin...?" Following her gaze, Gavin turned to Erin, his eyes pleading. "Can you help? Can you give us the medicine?" Erin sighed and shook her head.
Selena stumbled over to her, her tone turning frantic. "Why? Why won't you save me? I've confessed everything, every dark thought, every ambition... isn't that enough?" Erin sighed deeply.

Selena turned desperately to Keira, then dropped to her knees before her. O.
"Please, Aunt Keera Undle Lewis. I was wrong-I know I was wrong. I don't want to die. I want to live, please... letlive."
Seeing her like that, Gavin slowly walked over and joined her, bowing deeply to Keira. "MrXHorton, Ms.
