All too late for his love

What had Zayn done in Willow's last moments? He had eviscerated any hope she had in him by telling her to die and rest in peace.

In truth, he hadn't wanted Willow to die or to rest in peace. Love or hate aside, he only wanted her to live the rest of her life somewhere he could see her.

"Willow, wake up..."

For a moment, Zayn thought he might have died himself. He felt hollow inside out, but even so, the pain in his heart was indescribable.NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Excuse me, are you both Ms. Sanford's family?"

Zayn and Kenan were still grieving when two young men opened the creaking front door and entered the apartment.

"If you're both family, we request that you let us take Ms. Sanford's body. She signed the organ donation agreement with us before her death," one of the young men said.

Zayn looked up and glowered at the two men with bloodshot eyes. His feral snarl and his baleful gaze were like those of a struggling beast in its last moments.

The two men backed away when they saw this.

However, at the thought of the 700 thousand dollars their organ procurement center had paid Willow in advance, they stood firm and explained to Zayn, "Ms. Sanford has agreed to donate her organs to our center.

*As she was in desperate need of money to pay for her son's surgical procedure, we made an exception for her out of pity and paid her a large portion of the sum in advance.

"It was stated in our agreement that her corpse must be in good condition at the time of her death.

"We're afraid that with her corpse so badly damaged, you and the rest of her family won't be entitled to the remaining proceeds."

The braver of the two men stepped forward and handed Zayn the organ donation agreement Willow had signed to show that they were indeed entitled to collect her corpse..

A red mist descended upon Zayn when he saw the agreement. He reached out and snatched the agreement from the man before tearing it to shreds.

Tightening his arms around the corpse, he roared, "She's mine! Don't any of you dare take her away from.

mel Don't even think about it!"

"I think... he's Zayn Carter."

One of the men recognized Zayn and gently nudged his companion.

As dismayed as they were about the 700 thousand dollars they had paid out to Willow in advance, what Chapte 260

they needed more was for her corpse to be in good condition.

There was no way they could recoup the 700 thousand dollars now that Willow's corpse wax so badly! OV Burned, but their loss would be more significant if they couldn't take the corpse back to the center at all.

That being said, their fear of Zayn outweighed their fear of making a huge business loss.

Given Zayn's influence in Havenpoint, he could easily turn their organ procurement center into a pig farm if they crossed him.

In hopes of avoiding having their business turned into a pig farm, the two men decided not to provoke Zayn any further.

Just as they were leaving, Zayn shaky, frigid asked in a somewhat How much did you pay manner Wilmer Willow? I'll have the money wired to your account, plus interest."

"Uh... 700 thousand dollars," one of the men answered.

The two men were so intimidated by Zayn that they dared not keep quiet.

Zayn couldn't help laughing at the amount they quoted, though he wore a grimace, and his laughter sounded hollow and forlorn.

Willow had sold her corpse for 700

thousand dollars. It was almost like she had wanted to die She hadm borrowed money from Zayn before, saying she needed a million dollars for Aaron's surgery. At the time, Zayn thought she wanted the money to splurge on fancy things for herself.

He never imagined she was actually in desperate need of a million dollars, so much so that she had signed an organ donation agreement for it.
