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
Why did Sebastian have an accident right when Cynthia needed a heart transplant? And it just so happened that Sebastian's heart was a match for her. Could it be that all of this was Theodore's plan?Most people would have undergone medical checkups, and their data was stored in the system. Did Theodore use his connections to conduct a thorough search for a matching donor to save Cynthia, eventually discovering that Sebastian was suitable?But since Sebastian was still alive, he couldn't become a donor. In order to save Cynthia, did Theodore resort to something as terrifying as this?Theodore might be a scumbag, but he wasn't completely evil. Rosalie didn't want to believe he could be so wicked—but now, the facts made her consider this possibility.All of this was too much of a coincidence. One coincidence might be believable, but multiple coincidences together could be a carefully planned scheme.Even a good person might do something cruel when their interests were at stake. Every
This upset Theodore deeply. "Who's really getting handsy here? I didn't know you had so many male friends and were so close to them, Rose. You're such a good actress! You made me feel guilty, but in reality, you were messing around! How many men do you have?"In his anger, Theodore spoke without restraint. His heart was burning with fury.Yerick mustered the courage to stand in front of Rosalie. "Hey, that's too much! How can you say that about Rose? You're the jerk who hurt her and made her cry. How can you be so awful?"Theodore suddenly laughed. "Rose, how many men have you found to comfort you? It seems like you've been telling our business to every man you meet!"Seeing the mockery in Theodore's eyes, Rosalie's heart was torn in two. So, Theodore thought she was promiscuous and a hypocrite.Rosalie didn’t know how to react anymore; she just found him utterly ridiculous.He couldn't see what kind of person Cynthia was, no matter how much the latter was exposed. And yet, whe
Theodore felt as if he had been struck by lightning. “You think he ended up like this because of me?”“They’re investigating, aren't they? We won't know who did it until we find out. Some people are beasts disguised as humans.” Rosalie emphasized the last four words.Theodore was dumbstruck.The police officers turned to look at Theodore. They noticed he had bruises on his face and hands, indicative of a recent fight.Rosalie's hands were trembling. She didn't want to think Theodore had done this, but she felt like she didn’t know him anymore. Moreover, if he continued staying here, he would only pressure her to sign the consent form. It was best for him to leave.“He’s my ex-husband, and often gets into fights with my husband. They’ve fought more than once. Yesterday, he suddenly came to reconcile with me. I refused, and he got very agitated. That’s when my husband arrived to protect me, and they had a fight,” she went on.“Rose, do you really have to smear my name like this?” T
