My son accidentally burns my husband's first love's hand. My husband cruelly breaks my son's hand to teach him a lesson. He's in so much pain that he can't see straight and falls into a lake. Blood dyes the water red. I hold him close as I sob and call my husband, pleading for help. My husband doesn't care, though. "It's just a broken hand—he'll be fine once it's set in a cast. He'll only do worse things in the future if he's not taught a lesson now!" Later, my son drowns in the lake because he's not rescued in time. My husband loses his mind when he sees his body. "How could he have died when he only had a broken hand?"

Broken Hand, Broken Heart Chapter 9
Sue was sentenced to life in prison. When she saw everyone mocking and ridiculing her wrongdoings online, she somehow managed to get her hands on a knife and took her own life.Meanwhile, Zach was rushed to the hospital.His body was badly burned by sulfuric acid, making him unrecognizable. Repairing his appearance would require numerous painful surgeries, and even then, he would never look the same again.After his affair with Sue was exposed, the Sorensen Corporation's stock prices plummeted overnight, putting it on the brink of bankruptcy.Zach was barely holding on during his first surgery. When he finally woke up, Florence said he kept calling out for me and Shawn.She came to me, tears streaming down her face. "Celia, what happened to Shawn is the Sorensens' fault. But Zach is our only son. I'm begging you to please go see him. Otherwise, he might not pull through…"Florence even dropped to her knees and pleaded with me for Zach's sake.I looked at her with a blank express

Zach ended up in the hospital for a week after binge drinking and dealing with some stomach bleeding. Yet, I didn't bother visiting him at all.I heard that while he was there, Sue popped in a few times to cause drama, but his bodyguards tossed her out every time.The day Zach got out of the hospital, he came looking for me again. It had been exactly a month since Shawn had died.I hadn't gone back home. I was staying at a small house I rented a while ago. Shawn and I had been hanging out there a lot ever since Sue returned to the country.Zach opened the door and stood in the doorway, looking totally defeated. His shoulders drooped, and he just seemed so miserable."Celia, why didn't you come to see me?" he whispered.I was just about to respond when someone suddenly barged in. Before I even realized what was happening, Zach pushed me hard, and I went tumbling to the ground.A hissing sound filled the air as a thick liquid splattered all over Zach's face. He screamed in agony.

Zach looked like he'd been through hell and back, completely miserable.He was the heir to Sorensen Corporation, the golden boy who oozed confidence and charm. But it was like all that had disappeared overnight.His cheeks were sunken, his eyes bloodshot, and dark circles were under them. He looked like he'd just crawled out of a nightmare.Zach's voice was rough as he said, "Celia, I-I don't want a divorce." After a brief silence, he struggled to keep going. "I-I'll take responsibility for what happened with Shawn… and also for the unborn baby…"He looked down, trembling all over from the pain. "B-But I've thought it through. I can fix this."I scoffed. "Fix it? How? Can you bring Shawn back to life?""I…" Zach clenched his fists, then relaxed them in defeat. "I can't, but…"He met my gaze, his eyes filled with hope and desperation. "But Celia, we can still have kids. We're still young. We're still in our 30s. We can have as many as you want. I'm ready to start a family with

Shawn's coffin rested on the edge of town, but in the end, Zach managed to find it.During this time, he lost his appetite and desperately tried to find out where Shawn was through me. I stayed tight-lipped, but he still managed to show up at Shawn's funeral.Shawn looked pale and tiny in the coffin. I had specifically asked the mortician to stitch up his severed hand, but the scar was still glaringly obvious."Now that you've seen him, you can go. After all, he's not really your son," I taunted him.To my surprise, Zach went completely limp and collapsed to the ground. He held onto the edge of the coffin so tightly that his fingertips turned white from the strain."He only lost half his hand. How could he die from that?" Zach mumbled in shock.Tears streamed down his cheeks. I had never seen him cry in all the years we were married. But now, his shoulders were shaking as he sobbed uncontrollably.I closed the coffin lid without a second thought, ignoring that Zach's hand was st

"Y-You've got to be kidding me!" Zach's voice wavered. His head was pounding as he asked in a low, tense tone, "How much did Celia pay you to side with her and lie to me?"Taylor was exasperated. "Mr. Sorensen, I promise I'm not lying. That day, Shawn ran out crying to get burn cream, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't see straight."He didn't know where he was going and ended up falling into the lake and drowning. Mrs. Sorensen is with you, right? She was the one who pulled Shawn's body out herself."Zach's breath hitched as he turned to me.I burst out laughing. "Zach, you were too busy comforting Sue when Shawn died. You didn't even have a minute to care about him, did you?"Zach threw his phone down hard, and it smashed against the floor. Then, he grabbed my wrist, panic written all over his face."Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.I stared at him blankly. "Think about it. Didn't I tell you? Or did you just ignore me?"I'd mentioned it many times, but all he could

Zach overlooked my anguish, clearly losing his patience. "Enough with the drama! It's just a drawing."Just a drawing? That was Shawn's greatest wish, the last piece of him I held onto, and now it was gone.Zach didn't seem fazed at all. He tossed the divorce agreement my way. "Let's get to the point."I lifted my head, feeling hopeless. "What do you want from me?"He frowned and sneered. "What now? Did you find someone new? Is that why you're talking about divorce?""Zach, quit talking nonsense," I replied flatly.His face twisted into a mocking grin. "I figured you went off to find a blood pack, but I guess you really had a miscarriage. The kid wasn't mine, right?"My eyes widened in shock. "Zach, you've gone too far!"He scoffed, casually flipping through the divorce agreement, irritation creeping into his voice. "So, who's getting custody of Shawn? His surgery should be done by now, right? Reattaching a hand isn't rocket science."Didn't you tell him I was coming today? Ho

I cleaned up Shawn's severed hand and laid it in the coffin. His body was finally complete.I was drained after struggling to hold it together all day. I couldn't take it anymore and collapsed.Shawn came back to me in my dreams.He cried, his voice heavy with pain. "Mom, why doesn't Dad like me? Does he not love me?"All I could do was hold Shawn's little body tight as tears rolled down my cheeks."Shawn, it's all my fault. Your dad wouldn't have treated you like this if it weren't for me..." I whispered to myself.My marriage to Zach started with a mistake. He got drugged at a dance while I was completely wasted. Back then, I thought it was fate that brought us together, but now I see it was just a disaster waiting to happen.We had a wild night together and went our separate ways. Who would've thought I'd end up pregnant with his kid?Shawn needed a whole family, and since I'd always had a secret crush on Zach, my family, the Swains, went to the Sorensens to come clean abo

Zach paused when he heard me, but his anger grew stronger. He slapped me hard across the face.A wave of discomfort surged through me. I bumped into the corner of the table, and a sharp pain hit me instantly."You're seriously making jokes like that to defend him?" Zach stared down at me with a sneer."Celia, we wouldn't be in this mess if you had even a fraction of Sue's kindness. Aren't you afraid that if you keep babying Shawn, he could end up being a killer one day?"Every word Zach said pierced me like a thousand needles.I shook like a leaf, with sweat running down my hairline. I could smell blood filling the air as it ran down my legs.Zach grabbed Sue's hand and reassured her. "Don't worry, Sue. I'll get you the best doctor. You won't have any scars."I crumpled to the ground like a pile of mush, while Zach was fixated on the little blister on Sue's hand.Sue glanced my way and suddenly yelled, "Oh no! Zach, look! What's wrong with Celia? That's blood. She's bleeding he

I used to have a playful, sweet son, Shawn Sorensen.But now, his skin looked pale and puffy from being underwater for too long. The blood on the severed half of his hand had dried up a long time ago, but it would never heal.People kept telling me to cry and get my pain out, but I didn't. I quietly handled everything for Shawn before placing him in the cold coffin.That was when I got a call from Zach Sorensen."Has he seriously not picked up the burn cream yet? It's obvious he's not just a jerk, but a complete idiot! He can't even handle getting something so simple. What a waste of time."Sue's a painter. Are you going to take the fall if she can't hold a paintbrush anymore?" He sounded impatient and very irritated, with no hint of guilt for Shawn.I stayed silent.Zach's patience was shot. "Get him over here right now to kneel and apologize to Sue! We can't just brush this off!"I gently put my hand on Shawn's half-hand, closed the coffin, and went to look for Zach.He was
