Taking advantage of Theodore loosening his grip, Rosalie shook him off forcefully."It doesn’t matter if I give you time or not. It’s impossible for us to get back together anymore. What do you take me for? When you wanted a divorce, I had no choice but to leave. Now that you want to reconcile, I'm supposed to give up everything for you?" she sneered."Give up everything? Are you referring to Sebastian? Is he your everything?" Theodore spat furiously.Rosalie was tired of arguing with him.After resuscitating Cynthia, the doctor walked out of the ward. "Mr. Spencer, Miss Zeller only has a few days left to live. There's still no news from the organ donation bank, and hope is slim. However, we’ll try our best to minimize Miss Zeller’s pain."Theodore's eyes were empty, as if he was drunk in a faraway dream.Standing at the side, Rosalie was silent. She couldn’t make any sarcastic remarks, nor could she say any comforting words. In truth, she didn’t care whether Cynthia lived or die
"The patient seems to have been attacked. We don't know who he is yet. The police are trying to find his family. If we get the family's consent, we can perform the surgery immediately!"Seeing how excited they were, Rosalie felt a heavy weight on her. From their perspective, they would naturally be happy. On the other hand, the injured person they mentioned would die. After all, it was one person's life for another's. As expected—as long as the one dying wasn’t someone they cared about, it didn’t matter.The doctor continued, "The patient's organs are very healthy. If the family agrees, his corneas and all his organs, even his skin, can be donated. We could save many lives.""You said he was attacked?" Theodore asked.The doctor nodded. "Judging from his injuries, yes. And he had no identification on him. He might have been robbed.""I see. Once you find his family, tell them that if they agree to donating his organs, I’ll agree to any condition," Theodore said.Rosalie felt di
Seeing Rosalie's silence, Theodore gripped her shoulders. "Why aren’t you saying anything? I've told you all my thoughts, but you've never told me yours! So now, tell me—what do you really think?""Enough!" Rosalie pushed him away, hard. "You’re really annoying! Go and take care of your Cynthia, and stop harassing me."She turned, and ran away."Rose!" Theodore shouted. He was about to chase after her, when a weak voice suddenly came from the ward. "Theo, where are you…?"Theodore sighed; he glanced at the ward, then looked in the direction Rosalie had left.It seemed she really didn't want to see him.Forget it. He would give her some time to calm down. He was worried that if he pushed too hard, she would just run further away.Theodore walked into the ward, and sat by the bed. "Cindy."Cynthia saw a beautiful large gift box placed not far away. "Theo, what's that?" However, Theodore changed the subject. "Cindy, I have good news for you. We've found a matching heart.""Wha
Soon, in the doctor's office…"Mrs. Carter, I understand how you feel, but as a doctor, I must explain the situation to you. Mr. Carter suffered severe head trauma and has fallen into a deep coma. He has lost his pupillary light reflex, corneal reflex, swallowing reflex, cough reflex, and tendon reflex."He has no spontaneous breathing, and can only be sustained by medication and medical equipment. Although his heart is still beating, his brain is unresponsive. If the medical equipment is turned off, his heart will stop beating immediately."As Sebastian's wife, Rosalie had the right to make medical decisions on his behalf in emergencies when he couldn't decide for himself. If she signed the consent form, the organ transplant surgery could be performed immediately.However, it would also mean she was giving up on Sebastian.Rosalie's eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Is there any other way? Doesn't he have any chance of waking up? With how advanced technology is nowadays, th
Rosalie had just left the office, when a figure rushed toward her."Rose!" Yvonne had rushed here as fast as she could after receiving Rosalie's call. She arrived to see Rosalie with tears on her face."Vonnie…" Rosalie hugged her tightly.Rosalie then told Yvonne what had happened. They immediately went to Sebastian's room."Seb, can you hear me? Please wake up!" Yvonne wept. "It's all my fault! I didn't look for you hard enough!"She had previously thought Sebastian, being a grown man, wouldn't get into trouble and that Rosalie was over worrying. She never imagined something like this would happen to him. If she had seriously looked for her brother and kept asking, maybe she could have found him and prevented this accident.Rosalie gently patted Yvonne's back. "It's not your fault. Were you able to reach your parents?"After recognizing Sebastian at the hospital, Rosalie immediately called Yvonne and his parents, but only reached Yvonne. Sebastian's parents were unreachable.
Theodore had no choice but to speak to the family himself. To his surprise, the wife of the patient was Rosalie—which meant the injured man was Sebastian!The room fell into a deadly silence.Rosalie stared at Theodore in shock. She suddenly realized that one of the patients in need of an organ was none other than Cynthia.So, she wasn't just ex-spouses with Theodore—they were now opponents!"Rose." Theodore stepped forward, and glanced at the man on the bed. "I didn't expect it would be Sebastian. What happened?"Rosalie wiped her tears away, and shook her head. "I don't know. They said he was attacked.""I see." Theodore looked at Sebastian on the bed, feeling a bit shocked. However, he wasn’t really affected, and he didn’t feel as sorrowful as Rosalie. Sebastian was his rival, after all. Despite not feeling joy over Sebastian's condition, deep down, he was somewhat relieved that Sebastian was dying. This way, there would be no one to compete with him for Rosalie.Humans w
"I’m not forcing you. I'm just trying to reason with you and discuss this amicably," Theodore said."There's nothing to discuss. You want me to use Sebastian's heart to save Cynthia, right? Impossible!"Hearing Rosalie's resolute tone, Theodore had mixed feelings. "Why is it impossible? Are you protecting Sebastian? Or are you angry with me? Is that why you want Cindy to die?"If it was the latter, Theodore, would feel some joy deep down despite his anger. It would mean Rosalie still cared about him, and that she was just jealous and upset—just like he was jealous of Sebastian. If Sebastian died, he wouldn't lose anything."Hey, what are you talking about?" Yvonne snapped. "Don't think I’ll let you use Seb’s heart to save your mistress! I won't agree to it!""It's not up to you!" Theodore snarled to Yvonne. Then, he grabbed Rosalie's shoulders. "It's all up to you, Rose. You're his wife and the primary decision-maker. I promise you, if you sign the consent form, I'll never see Cin
"The chance you're talking about requires Sebastian's life. She doesn't deserve this chance!" Rosalie yelled. Between saving Sebastian and Cynthia, there was no doubt who Rosalie would choose. No matter how slim the hope, she would never give up on Sebastian. Whether Cynthia lived or died had nothing to do with her; she wasn't that noble. Everyone would prioritize protecting the people they cared about in crucial times. Only doctors, when facing two injured strangers, would prioritize the one easiest to save and abandon the one with the slimmest hope. Theodore clenched his fists. "Do you hate Cindy that much? It’s my fault that everything happened. If you want to hate, then hate me." "My decision won't change whether I hate you or not." She would make the same choice, even if the patient in need of an organ wasn't Cynthia. Theodore didn’t believe Rosalie would be this cold. "You've changed! You used to be so kind. You should know it's not just Cindy waiting for a transplant
