"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
In the hospital's resting area, Yvonne found a quiet spot for Rosalie to sit down. Worry was etched on Rosalie’s face.Yvonne sat beside her, and gently patted her shoulder. “Rose, no matter what happens, remember that Seb would want you to be okay.”“Vonnie, are you prepared for the worst?”Yvonne sighed. “Sometimes, we have to face reality.”“If that’s what you think too, should we let Seb save someone else?”Although Rosalie wanted to hold on to this slim hope, deep down, she knew it was as good as nothing.Yvonne shook her head. “I don’t know. If I were you, I’d be very conflicted too. I hope my brother wakes up, but given his condition…”“Vonnie, I hope for a miracle, but right now, I really wish your parents were here. After all, my marriage to Sebastian isn’t real. I feel it's unfair for me to make this decision.”“Rose, don’t think like that,” Yvonne said, holding her hand. “You are legally his wife, and that’s what matters. Besides, my parents aren’t here right now. Yo
“Mrs. Carter, my son is ten years old and urgently needs a kidney transplant! His kidneys are failing, and he has been on dialysis for a long time. It’s sad to see such a young child suffer. Could you take pity on us and sign the consent form?” another said.“Yes, Mrs. Carter. My husband is the provider of our family. Since he fell ill, our whole family has fallen apart!”A group of people had surrounded Rosalie. They all seemed to be family members of the patients. Though they were saying sorrowful words, their demeanor was quite menacing.They surrounded Rosalie, taking turns to emotionally blackmail her.“Move aside! Move aside!” Rosalie tried to leave, but she was blocked by the crowd.“Mrs. Carter, if you were in our position, you would be just as anxious!” they persisted.“Exactly! My son is only ten years old! He still has a bright future, while your husband is on the verge of death.”“Mrs. Carter, please do us a favor and agree! If you sign, your husband could save many
“Look at what you’re saying! Your brother is already dying. Would you rather cremate him than donate his organs? How can your whole family be so vicious?” one of them spat.“Why is there only two women here? Where are your parents? Get a man who can handle this to talk. Women are so petty, they can’t handle major matters!”Yvonne was furious. “I think you’re all stupid and evil! You don’t even know who’s in charge of medical decisions. I’m telling you, even if my parents were here today, they wouldn’t agree to it!”“Hey, how dare you insult us? Who are you calling stupid and evil? You’re ignorant and malicious!”“Both of you are so unreasonable! You obviously can’t see the bigger picture!”The surrounding voices grew louder as the crowd cursed. Rosalie’s head throbbed, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Her emotions were like surging magma, and the pressure was growing unbearable.“All of you, shut up!” she suddenly screamed.The scene fell silent in an instant, a
Christopher’s gaze shifted back to Rosalie. It was obvious she was under immense pressure.“Don’t worry. With me here, no one will harass you. I’ve brought in some top doctors to consult on Sebastian's case and see what can be done,” he said. Rosalie stared at the man in front of her, feeling a strange familiarity and unfamiliarity. She was sure she had never met him before, but this man appeared imposing and authoritative. The police had also shown him great respect, indicating he was no ordinary person.“Rosalie, right?” Christopher asked, having been briefed by Yvonne over the phone before he arrived.“Yes,” Rosalie responded softly.“I’ll make sure that Sebastian’s case is thoroughly investigated, and we find out what happened. As his wife, you have the legal right to make medical decisions for him. So, what are your thoughts on this?”Christopher appeared very calm, almost to the point of indifference.But Rosalie could sense that he was capable, and could remain composed
