Chapter 712
"So, Celine, are you saying that you need Mr. Hampton's heart's blood to save me?" Fiona asked.
Celine nodded. "Yes. Once his blood is taken, Mr. Hampton will die without question. Eclipse venom is one of the
most treacherous poisons-anyone afflicted with it is doomed. The only way to defy fate is to trade one life for
another. Mr. Hampton, are you willing to sacrifice your life to save Ms. Jakeman?"
Fiona was stunned, unable to comprehend that her survival would cat such a steep price. If this was the
only way, then either she or Nigel had to die.
"No!"
"Yes!"
The words cat the stime—Fiona's refusal and Nigel's acceptance.
Fiona stared at Nigel in shock. Nigel, however, spoke with resolve. "Celine, take my heart's blood. I'm willing to
give my life for hers."
Fiona gasped in horror. "Nigel, have you lost your mind? If you give your heart's blood, you'll die for sure! | don't
want you sacrificing your life for mine! You don't have to do this. | don't want to owe you anything!"
Nigel didn't even look at Fiona. His gaze was locked on Celine. "Let's begin."
Fiona grabbed Nigel's arm. "Nigel, | don't want you to save me! Do you hear me? Celine, don't listen to him—I
don't agree to this!"
Celine watched the tense interaction between them, a smirk playing on her lips. "Mr. Hampton, there's no need

"But since you've decided to trade your life for hers, I'm sure you have plenty to take care of your vast business

How does that sound?"
Celine was offering him tto write his will.
Nigel fell quiet for a moment. "Fine. I'll take care of everything first. After that, you can have my heart's blood."
Celine nodded. "That works."
He turned to Fiona. "Rest well. I'll be back soon."
"Nigel, you—"
Before she could finish, Nigel turned and walked away, his mind made up.
It was clear-no one could sway him from his choice.
Fiona quickly grabbed Celine's arm. "Celine, thank you for treating me, but | don't
want to be saved at the cost of someone else's life!"
Celine shot her a playful wink. "Ms. Jakeman, | was lying earlier. Taking Mr. Hampton's heart's blood won't
actually kill him."
What?
Fiona froze, her face filled with disbelief. "Celine, why would you lie about something like that?"
"Because | wanted to know the truth about Mr. Hampton's feelings. Ms. Jakeman, you've always believed that Mr.
Hampton only loves his childhood sweetheart, his so-called first love.
"But the moment | mentioned the option of sacrificing himself for you, he agreed without a second thought. A
man willing to give up his life for yours-what does that tell you?"
Fiona fell silent, struggling to find the right words. Maybe he acted
impulsively. Maybe it was just

Celine gently took Fiona's hand. "Ms. Jakeman, why not take this opportunity to test Mr. Hampton's true feelings
for you?"
Fiona blinked, momentarily confused. "What do you mean?"
A playful sparklit up Celine's eyes.

Fiona's hands were still cold, but the warmth from Celine's touch flowed through
her like a comforting embrace.
In that instant, Fiona felt a deep sense of affection for Celine.
She reached out and pulled her into a hug. "Celine, how can you be so amazing?
You must be an angel sent from heaven."
