Professor Charles Callum sat reclined in an armchair, his hands folded over the cane resting between his knees. Across from him sat David Lawson, his face pale and filled with worry.

“My son needs help, Professor Charles. He was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart condition,” David said, his voice trembling as he leaned forward. “No one else will touch the case. They all say it’s too risky, but I can’t accept that. Henry deserves a chance…he's my only son.”

Prof. Charles sighed, his aged face filled with sympathy. “Mr. Lawson, I understand your plight. But I’m retired. I haven’t held a scalpel in years, let alone kept up with the advancements in modern cardiac surgery. It would be a disservice to your son for me to attempt this.”

"But you’re Charles Callum," David pressed, sounding desperate. "You’re a legend in cardiac surgery. If anyone can do this, it’s you.”

Prof. Charles shook his head, a bittersweet smile crossing his lips. “I can’t take that risk, not with a life as de

    David stood rooted to the spot as he watched Emma walk briskly down the hallway, her white coat fluttering lightly behind her. Something stirred deep within him, a subconscious urge to follow her, but before he could take a step, a nurse approached him. "Sir, Dr. Morgan is still very busy and will see you later. You can’t see her now," the nurse said politely. David furrowed his brow, a look of confusion crossing his face. "I'm here to see Dr. Morgan, not... Emma," he said to the nurse, and also reminded himself of the real reason he was at the City hospital. Emma could wait—for now—but he needed to see Dr. Morgan today.The nurse blinked at him, her polite smile slipping into a momentary look of confusion. She quickly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her cheeks warming slightly as her eyes quickly flickered over his striking features. Regaining her composure, she cleared her throat and said, "Sir, the doctor who just left a few moments ago was Dr. Morgan.”David fro

    Although Emma had rejected David’s request in person, she couldn’t completely ignore the situation. Her conscience and her profession as a doctor made it impossible for her to overlook a case like this. Later that evening, she set up a video call with Dr. Allen, the doctor currently in charge of Henry’s case. As the call connected, Dr. Allen appeared on the screen, his expression serious. “Dr. Morgan, thank you for taking the time. I know you’ve seen the case file, but I wanted to emphasize just how critical Henry’s condition is.” Emma nodded, her professional demeanor masking the turmoil beneath. “Yes, Dr. Allen. I’ve reviewed the file. It’s a complicated case, but not entirely unmanageable. What are the immediate challenges you’re facing?” Dr. Allen adjusted his glasses, his tone firm but concerned. “The primary issue is the rapid progression of his condition. The malformation is pressing against vital areas, and while we’ve managed to stabilize him for now, the current measu

    Allison sat beside Henry’s hospital bed, clutching his small hand. Her eyes were red from crying, tears continuously streaming down her face as she whispered in a soft, broken voice. "You’ll be fine, sunshine. Your father will do everything he can to make sure you’re fine." The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was the only response Allison got as Henry lay motionless, his face pale, his breathing shallow. No matter how many times Allison repeated those words, the fear in her heart refused to go away. How could she endure seeing her son lying helpless on the hospital bed each day, struggling for his life? It was like being stabbed with a sword, yet all she could do was watch in silence as the pain consumed her.Isabel, standing nearby, folded her arms and scoffed. "Where is this expert doctor David promised to bring back? Henry’s life is at risk, and yet, the Lawson family, despite their fame and affluence, still can’t get a competent doctor to treat my grandson?" Her husba

    When the call came a second time, Emma knew something was wrong. It wasn’t work—she’d taken leave, and it wasn’t family because she’d distanced herself from them. That left only one person: Sophie, her best friend, despite today being Emma’s “no disturbance” day. “Sophie?” Emma answered, confused. “Emma, the airport? Seriously?” Sophie teased, laughing. “What are you talking about?” “I’m behind you... wait, you’re not here?” Sophie’s tone immediately shifted. “No, I’m at home.” “Then who’s with David?” Emma’s heart skipped. “What?” “Never mind, it’s your anniversary—” “No, Sophie. Tell me now. Is David there? Who’s he with?” After a pause, Sophie sighed. “Let me send you a picture.” Emma opened the photo. Her breath hitched. It was David, her husband, standing with another woman, her back to the camera, hugging him intimately. The phone rang again. Sophie’s voice was panicked. “Emma, are you okay? I’m so sorry—” “You’ve done nothing,” Emma replied coldly. “

    Emma woke with a start, the soft scent of flowers drifting into her consciousness before her eyes even opened. As she blinked, the first thing she noticed was the large bouquet of white roses sitting beside her bed. Immediately she saw them, a soft sigh escaped her lips. “White roses again,” she thought, her brow furrowing. “Why does he always get white roses?”She had always preferred red roses—deep, passionate, full of life. Red roses reminded her of love, of fire, of everything she had hoped for in her marriage. Yet, time and again, David would always choose to get her the white ones.But then her gaze fell to the card nestled among the blooms. ‘Pure flowers for pure angels, happy second anniversary.’Her heart skipped a beat. It wasn’t the flowers themselves that had touched her, but the words. The tenderness of the message, the love that shone through, made her chest tighten with warmth. The depression that had weighed on her since yesterday’s events vanished in an instant. H

    After David left, Emma felt a sudden strange emptiness in the house. She tried to distract herself by doing something simple—anything to keep her mind from wandering. She began tidying up, folding David’s shirts and placing them neatly in the laundry basket. The simple task gave her something to focus on, but as she picked up a particularly crumpled shirt, something in the air caught her attention.A faint scent lingered in the room, one that wasn’t hers. It was floral, sweet, and unmistakably feminine. ‘Perfume,’ she thought, her pulse quickening. Her mind raced as she turned the shirt over in her hands, inhaling deeply. It wasn’t her perfume; in fact, it didn’t even resemble anything she wore. She froze. What was this? The smell felt foreign, out of place. Her heart hammered in her chest, and an uncomfortable tension settled in her stomach. The perfume was subtle, almost as if it had been transferred to the fabric by accident, but the thought that it was someone else's scent—some

    "Hey, I know this feels crazy, but we’re doing the right thing. You deserve answers," Sophie said, trying to sound reassuring.Emma nodded, but the knot in her stomach only tightened. She took deep breaths, muttering and convincing herself that she indeed was doing the right thing and deserved answers.Sophie parked outside the hotel, her unease growing as she glanced at Emma, who was pale and silent. Inside the lobby, the buzz of activity only made Emma feel more overwhelmed. “Now what?” Emma murmured, her voice barely audible. “We don’t even know his room number.” Sophie shot her a reassuring look. “Leave it to me.” Marching up to the lobby manager, Sophie greeted him with her usual charm. “Hi! It’s Emma’s anniversary today, and she’s here to surprise her husband, David. Could you help us find his room?” “Ms. Evans! Mrs. Lawson! It’s an honor to see you both again," the manager greeted them with a warm smile. When he heard Sophie's request, he hesitated, his polite smile fa

    The moment Emma saw the woman standing in the doorway, her world seemed to shatter. Her legs turned to jelly, and she nearly collapsed to the ground in shock. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from the woman's face — a face she knew all too well. It was the face that haunted her dreams, the face of the woman who had once been the love of David’s life. A breathless, broken whisper escaped Emma’s lips as she called out, “Sister.”Sophie, sensing the growing tension in the room, gave Emma a subtle glance before quietly excusing herself. "Uh, I think I’ll just... give you two some space. Catch you later, Emma," she said, slipping out of the room without another word, leaving Emma standing frozen at the doorway.The air in the room grew thick with awkwardness as Emma and her sister, Allison, stood facing each other. For a moment, neither spoke, the silence hanging heavily between them. Then, finally, Allison took a small step forward, her smile gentle as she opened her arms."Emma," she sa

    "Clamp off," Emma instructed, her voice calm but firm. One of the nurses quickly complied, and the heart began beating on its own."Excellent work, Dr. Morgan," one of the residents said, his tone filled with admiration.Emma didn’t respond immediately. Her focus remained on the patient until she was satisfied with the stability of the vitals. Finally, she stepped back and nodded. “Close him up and monitor his recovery closely. The next 24 hours are critical.”As she stripped off her gloves and gown, the head nurse approached her. “Dr. Morgan, you never cease to amaze us. That was a high-risk procedure, and you handled it like it was routine.”Emma offered a small smile, though her mind was already on her next task. “It’s what we’re trained to do. Let’s hope the patient agrees with us in recovery.”She exited the OR and headed to her office. The walls were lined with certificates, awards, and framed articles praising her groundbreaking work in cardiac surgery. A particularly recent o

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   A decision to leave

    A week had passed since that night in the hospital, but Emma still couldn't shake the image of David's face when he heard that she wanted a divorce. His expression had been so chaotic — disbelief, anger, sadness, and even a touch of grievance. She couldn’t understand why he had shown such a complicated expression.Anyways, she was too tired to try and figure out what went on in his mind anymore. She had made her decision; she was going to divorce him and what he thought didn't matter to her.Moreover, Emma hadn’t seen David since that night. He must have been busy making up for the time lost with Henry, repairing their relationship. As for her, she wasn’t idle either. She had been busy packing up her things, preparing to leave. Once David signed the divorce papers, they would have nothing more to do with each other.But Emma also knew that even if her divorce with David was a foregone conclusion, she still needed to inform David's grandfather. She sighed, remembering that she once

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Making a decision for him

    Emma's chest tightened as she looked at the man she had loved since childhood. For the first time, she couldn't completely understand what was going through his mind. She thought David did not want to divorce her because he was afraid of his grandfather and her father's opposition to such a scandal; at the same time, she also thought David still harbored resentment toward Allison for abandoning him on their wedding day; Lastly, Emma assumed David wanted to protect his reputation and avoid being seen as the one who initiated the divorce, thereby avoiding the blame. In all these, she was sure of one thing—it wasn’t because David loved her or couldn’t bear to let her go.Meanwhile, Allison was filled with anger and hatred. She couldn't let David continue to interfere in her plans anymore. She had to separate them completely today!With tears flowing freely, she clasped her hands together towards Emma. “Please Emma, forgive me. It was never my intention to b

    Emma stood outside the door, her blood running cold as the truth shattered her reality. She had never dreamed that Henry was actually the child of David and Allison!Her mind raced, trying to piece everything together. David’s strange behavior, his nervousness, and his anger about Henry getting hurt now made sense.She thought that as long as she explained the situation clearly, David would believe her, but it was so obvious that he was clearly venting his emotions on her because he loves his son so much, hence her explanation wasn't important to him at all. A pang of sadness and anger immediately surged through Emma. How dare David lie to her and accuse her so sanctimoniously? She clenched her fists, her body trembling with the urge to storm in and slap everyone in that room. But as her hand subconsciously touched her belly, the reality of the situation sank in. What about her child? She didn’t want her baby to grow up without a father. If she told David about the pregnancy, would

    "Mrs. Lawson, after the examination, everything looks fine," the doctor said, looking at Emma with a sharp gaze. "I would advise you to be more cautious in the future. Avoid climbing too high. Even if you don't think about your own safety, consider the child's safety."Emma, wrapped in bandages, looked like she had been through a rough ordeal. Her clothes were worn at the elbows, back, and legs, with the exposed skin showing varying degrees of abrasions. Her appearance was a mess, and she felt really embarrassed.Emma’s guilt weighed heavily on her, and as the doctor spoke, her shame grew even more. She shifted uncomfortably and then, with a trembling voice, asked, “Doctor, how is the child? Is he okay?” The doctor sighed then gave her a kind smile. “The child is fine. Don’t worry. Even though it’s only one month old, the embryo is very strong—” Emma’s head began to spin before he could finish. The words blurred in her mind, and a loud ringing filled her ears.
