However, apart from good-looking men, what primarily attracted Summer was the plot of the TV dramas. Every evening, after finishing her classes and dinner, she would return to her room to watch something. The bedroom on the third floor had become Summer's small world, away from distractions and worldly troubles.As time passed, Summer, who was engrossed in watching the TV drama, gradually grew tired. Her eyelids drooped slightly as she prepared to go to sleep. However, what slightly puzzled her was why James hadn't returned home yet.Normally, he would return by 11:00 pm. It was midnight, and he still hadn't returned.It wasn't unusual for others to return an hour or two late, but for James to be late was strange. After all, as busy as he was, every minute of his time was accounted for. Therefore, he had a strict sense of time. He knew exactly what he should be doing at any given moment.Summer shouted through the door, "Lexi, do you know where James is? Why hasn't he returned
This time, it was really uncertain whether James would be as lucky as last time.Summer looked anxious. She felt really lost. She thought of the possibility of losing James. Lexi led the way. With Caroline's permission, the group left the Quigley residence smoothly. They sat in Connor's sports car and headed to the hospital.Connor was Charlie's brother and one of James' bodyguards. He explained, "The accident this time is quite serious. "The word is that when Mr. Quigley was carried out of the accident scene, his whole body was covered in blood. He wasn't even breathing. There is a high possibility of life-threatening danger."Upon hearing that, Summer covered her mouth in horror. She hadn't expected the car accident this time to be that serious. If James really lost his life because of it, she would be devastated.Lexi knew Summer was worried. She held her hand and comforted the latter. "Mrs. Quigley, don't scare yourself. Mr. Quigley has good fortune. Surely, nothing will ha
Walter knew Summer didn't understand, so he explained, "Our hospital does have spare hearts, but we don't have one suitable for Mr. Quigley. "Mr. Quigley's blood type is special. If an incompatible heart is transplanted, it will lead to immunological rejection. The worst result would be Mr. Quigley's death."The crucial point of organ transplant was compatibility. Each person had a different blood type, and organs also varied. If an organ different from the recipient's was transplanted, the body wouldn't be able to adapt to it. This would eventually lead to organ rejection and death.Summer's mind felt like mush. She didn't know what to do for a moment. If they couldn't find a new heart, didn't that mean James would die? Thinking of the consequences, Summer felt as though she had fallen into an abyss. She felt utterly hopeless.Lexi asked, "Can a living person's heart be used?""What?" Summer stiffened, unable to believe what Lexi had said.According to Lexi, James could be sa
Upon seeing the situation, Summer finally understood why Lexi's calls to Caroline and Norman couldn't get through. They were probably busy explaining the unexpected incident involving James. The news of James' accident must have been difficult to contain. As long as a little bit of information leaked out, those commercial partners cooperating with Quigley Group would definitely call to inquire. Caroline and Norman were probably busy explaining it to them.Besides, there was also significant external pressure. Due to James' special status, any information about him would be extremely valuable news. Now that James had encountered a car accident, those reporters and media would certainly flock in.Summer felt like an ant on a hot pan. She was anxious and uneasy. The air conditioning in the hospital was cold, but she was sweating profusely. Her sweat drenched her clothes.At this moment, an annoying voice said, "Summer, nice to see you."It was Howe! He was dressed casually with
"Then, why did you make such a sinister and creepy expression just now?" Summer retorted.She had asked Howe if he had tried to kill James to seize the position of heir, and Howe hadn't denied it. He had even acted so scary. He had said that Summer already knew the truth.Based on that, Summer naturally believed that Howe was behind the accident.But Howe wasn't the real perpetrator. He explained, "Summer, I was just surprised that you already knew my intentions. Yes, I do want to snatch the position of heir from James, but I wouldn't kill him.""Do you have evidence to prove it? You murderer!" Summer said it firmly. She was now convinced that Howe was the culprit."It's a misunderstanding. I'm as innocent as can be. Although I envy James for being the heir, I'm doing fine now. Why would I risk killing him to seize his position? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Having said that, he added, "Summer, you also don't have evidence against me, right? If you have evidence, then you can call
The Quigley family's power was so immense that they could get rid of matters stipulated in plain terms. Therefore, as long as the resources were available and a successful match was found, the required heart transplant could be performed.As for the most suitable candidate for completing the heart transplant, James' biological brother, Howe, was undoubtedly the best choice. However, Howe was quite cunning. When Summer glanced at him, he immediately shook his head, waved his finger, and said, "Summer, don't even think about it. I won't go for heart typing."Howe was eager for James' death. If James died, he would become the Quigleys' heir. He wouldn't be foolish enough to sacrifice himself to save James.The members next in line would be people related to James by blood, such as Caroline, Norman, and others. However, none of them had shown up. It was unclear what had happened to them.Upon careful consideration, Summer vaguely felt that something was wrong. When she had left hom
It indeed sounded serious, but Summer knew how to deal with it.Normally, if one was entering a sanitized area in the hospital to visit family members, one had to wear a special suit to prevent contaminating the area with bacteria.Summer had noticed some medical isolation suits when she'd entered the operating room. She pointed at them and asked, "As long as I wear that suit, I can see my husband, right?"With the isolation suit, bacterial contamination problems wouldn't be an issue. That way, Walter couldn't argue with her either. However, he seemed unwilling to let Summer see James. He made up an excuse, saying, "No, it's still not possible. Mrs. Quigley, if you have the time to see Mr. Quigley, I suggest you quickly find a suitable heart for the heart transplant. That way, Mr. Quigley can still be saved.""Okay, okay, I understand. I've found a living heart. It's right here." Summer pointed to her chest, making it clear that she wanted to donate her heart to James.As far
Although James was very weak, he was still conscious. Mustering all his strength, he said, "I can't make it anymore. I'm very sorry that I couldn't take good care of you.""No, you can't leave yet." Summer held his hands. Her previous calm composure broke down instantly. She felt sorrow rushing through her body, circulating in her veins. She gradually lost control of her emotions.This wasn't the outcome she had expected. Based on the hints she'd noticed before, she'd already believed that the accident wasn't real when she'd barged into the operating room. She'd thought the so-called accident was someone's malicious prank. However, now that she'd seen James' battered body, she could no longer say that all of it was fake.The sight of James like that shook Summer to her core, especially when she saw a long piece of glass stained with blood next to the operating table. She knew that it was the "murder weapon" that had pierced James' heart.Summer's voice faltered. She felt as i
