The Day the Don’s Heiress Lost Her Womb Chapter 09 A Death in Ravenport

Half a month later, word came from Ravenport.

Three crews that had hated Kane for years had turned on him.

While he was away, and while his mind was still on me, they joined forces with several smaller gangs. took the Eastbank docks, seized three underground casinos, and killed five crew bosses loyal to Kane.

Ravenport’s underworld tore itself apart.

Gunfights broke out every day. Shots and explosions echoed through the streets.

The police blocked off several neighborhoods, but no one dared interfere.

They looked away.

The Elders called Kane day after day.

If he did not return, the Wood family would collapse.

So Kane had to go.

Before leaving, he came to the lab one last time.

They

He was thinner than before. His face was pale, and his cough had not stopped. The night in the snow had clearly damaged him. He still wore that black trench coat, now washed thin and faded.

His personal guard waited by the lab door, one hand near his gun, watching everything.

“Elena,” Kane said across the lab bench, his voice low. “I’m going back to Ravenport.”

I only hummed and kept reading my report.

He stood there for a while before speaking again.

“I’ll take care of the traitors. After that, I’ll hand the business to my men. I won’t touch the family’s affairs anymore. Then I’ll come back. I’ll buy a place in Eastbridge, somewhere close to you. I won’t disturb your work. I’ll just see you from far away every day. Can I?”

I put down the report and looked at him.

“Kane, I already told you. We ended long ago. You don’t need to do anything for me. Don’t come back for me either. Live your life. You are the Godfather of the Wood family. You have responsibilities.”

He went quiet.

The lab was silent except for the soft hum of the centrifuge.

After a long time, he smiled.

It was bitter and empty.

“I understand. I knew you wouldn’t forgive me. I just… still wanted to hope.”

Then he turned and left.

I watched him walk out of the building.

His back was slightly bent.

The untouchable Godfather I remembered was gone.

+5 Free Cams

His men gathered around him at once. Someone put a coat over his shoulders. Someone opened the door of the black armored sedan.

The car pulled away and disappeared around the corner.

I lowered my eyes to the report again.

My heart stayed calm.

I knew I would never see him again.

Three months later, my research broke through.

The new targeted therapy passed its clinical trial.

As the first subject, I completed three full treatment cycles.

The result was better than anyone expected.

At the follow-up, the doctor told me the cancer cells in my body were gone. Every indicator was normal again.

In another six months, my uterus could be repaired through cell-regeneration technology.

I could still have children.

The lab went wild.

Everyone hugged, cheered, and cried. For three months, all of us had pushed ourselves to the edge.

At last, we had won.

Professor Thorne patted my shoulder and smiled.

“I knew you could do it. You’re the best student I’ve ever had.”

I smiled too.

Tears fell before I could stop them.

I had survived.

By my own hands.

Then, just as I thought everything had turned better, Professor Thorne walked into the lab with a

newspaper.

His face was heavy.

He placed it in front of me.

The bold headline on the front page read, “Ravenport Mafia War Ends: Godfather Kane Wood Dead.”

The article said Kane had returned to Ravenport and spent three months fighting the rebel crews.

Both sides took heavy losses. The city’s underworld was reshuffled.

Last night, during the final clash, Kane covered his men’s retreat and was shot five times.

He died there.

Before his death, he left one final order.

“Transfer every asset I own to Elena Winston. Not a cent less.”

I looked at the photo for a long time.

Kane was in black tactical gear.

His eyes were sharp.

In that picture, he still looked arrogant and untouchable.

Professor Thorne sighed.

“His second-in-command is downstairs with the transfer papers. The funeral is in three days. They asked whether you’ll attend.”

I shook my head.

“Send him back. Tell them I don’t want a single dollar from the Wood family. Use the money as a compensation fund for the widows and orphans, and for the injured men’s medical bills.”

“I won’t go to Kane’s funeral either.”

Professor Thorne looked at me for a moment.

Then he nodded and left.

I turned toward the window.

Sunlight fell warm across my body.

Downstairs, the second-in-command left with his men.

His back looked lonely.

Everything was over.

The man I had loved for three years and hated for three years was gone from this world forever

With his death, all the love and resentment between us faded too.
