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
Choosing a live donor in the present day was a desperate measure. However, even so, the hospital was willing to perform the surgery, all thanks to the Quigley family's influence.One thing special about the situation was that the volunteers were not the only ones who were tested for organ matching; even Summer did the test.Although Lexi said it was unnecessary because there would definitely be at least one successful match out of the 50 volunteers, Summer still insisted on participating.Summer couldn't explain why she did it. In truth, she didn't want to sacrifice anyone if it was possible. James had been kind to her. If a sacrifice was necessary, she felt that it should be hers to bear alone.Besides, she thought it wouldn't be a bad thing if her heart could be useful to James. She also felt that it was quite romantic to have her heart beating in his chest.Usually, it would take a considerable amount of time to match organs. But the rapid matching method at Rosseera City's F
Walter sighed, "Mrs. Quigley, it's really fortunate that Mr. Quigley married you. If he wakes up and finds out that you did this, I fear he might—""It's okay. There's no need to say more. Please help me to donate my heart." Summer interrupted him.Time was of the essence. Every second wasted could worsen James' condition. Since she had decided to donate her heart to save James, there was nothing more to discuss.Subsequently, Summer followed Walter to another operating room. Several doctors and nurses had gathered there, indicating the importance of the surgery. Walter personally took charge. He held the cyanide injection and slowly pumped the white liquid from the syringe to the needle.Before proceeding further, he asked again, "Mrs. Quigley, I'll ask you once more. Have you made your decision? Once this injection is administered, you'll die.""Yes, I've made up my mind." Summer confirmed it.In truth, there was really nothing to hesitate about. The moment she'd laid on the
Summer continued her journey for quite a while. The road was rugged. There were bones all over the place, as well as occasional bloodstains. The sight was very gruesome and terrifying. Summer was unable to suppress the nauseating feeling in her stomach. As the minotaurs and centaurs led her away, she finally came face-to-face with the judge of the afterlife, Lord Hades.Hades was a burly, middle-aged man with a thick black beard. He had an imposing and righteous air about him. "Who is this ghost?" Hades slammed against the gavel. Summer truthfully told him who she was and how she died. After hearing her story, Hades expressed mercifully, "So, you died trying to save your beloved. It's truly pitiable.""No!" Summer retorted. "I wasn't trying to save a lover. Although James is my husband, he isn't my beloved.""If he's not your beloved, then do you dislike him?" Hades questioned in astonishment. His eyes emitted an eerie green glow as he asked the question, making him look
