"That was her mom's dying wish, and today was her mom's birthday! How could you treat her like this?" I asked. "Come on, stop making a scene. Show a little compassion for Lianne, will you?"Irvin was so angry that his face darkened immediately. He had never imagined that I could be this sharp-tongued. Every word I said was like a hook, sinking deep and twisting until he couldn't find a response.It took him a long moment before he finally looked down at Julianne."Emilia's just being childish. Don't take it to heart. Here, take this. I'll have someone get you another one from somewhere else. No matter the cost, I'll make sure you have the latest version today."This was the first time I had won against Julianne in all our countless confrontations.Although this was the first time Irvin ever told her to back down for me, I wasn't happy at all.There were always plenty of ways to solve a problem. No matter how rare or difficult something was, Irvin could get it if he wanted to. Not

Chapter 52

It was John Langley, my classmate from sophomore year, the one who had the car accident.His mother, Victoria Hayes, spoke carefully but with barely contained eagerness. "Lia, I'm so sorry to bother you. I really don't mean to intrude, but I just have to ask. How's your research on that AI chip coming along? The one that could help people walk again… Is there hope?"When John was still in school, he would always come home and talk about you. He said you were the most brilliant person in the world. He believed nothing was too difficult for you. He was certain you'd find a way to develop that chip and help him stand up again."Look, I've been massaging John's legs every single day over the years. His muscles are still in great condition, no signs of atrophy at all. If you need anyone for testing, John is ready anytime."Her face was filled with hope, so earnest and desperate.My hands clenched tightly at my sides without me realizing it.I didn't know how to respond. I didn't know

"Good luck!" Victoria said.…Once we got in the car, Cordelia looked at me with excitement. "Darling, are you thinking about going back to the lab?"She really knew me so well. I hadn't said a word, yet she understood everything, just from the decision I'd made in my heart.When I heard Mr. Holland mentioned that it wasn't too late for me to return to the lab, I couldn't stop thinking about it.I couldn't help but wonder if I could really go back to the lab.Should I go back? Should I return to what I truly want to do?I had always loved what I studied, and I really wanted to continue striving in the field I was passionate about. However, I had been away from academics, away from the lab for so long, and I wasn't sure if I still had what it takes.So, even though I had been thinking about it constantly, I just couldn't make up my mind.When I saw Victoria earlier, something in me clicked. I finally made the decision.I wanted to fight for what I love, for the people who were

Chapter 54

Seeing my expression change, Cordelia instinctively leaned over to check my phone. The moment she read Irvin's message, she burst out cursing."That worthless piece of shit!"I didn't say anything, staring at the screen. I felt a deep ache for my past self and couldn't help but scold that version of me in my head.How could I have been so foolish to love a man like that?Without a word, I blocked his number again and turned off my phone.I didn't care about him anymore and had no intention of wasting energy on his nonsense. Apparently, he wasn't ready to let it go. He showed up with his people, blocking our way.Maybe it was because I hadn't answered his calls or messages, and he'd spent a long time searching for me. His frustration mixed with uncontrollable arrogance fueled his simmering anger.He instinctively wanted to scold me in a cold tone, but when his eyes met my indifferent, impatient gaze, the arrogance and anger he carried suddenly faded."Emi, this is urgent. Please

After whispering a few words in her ear, she stopped insisting.Still, she couldn't help but look at me with worry as I got into the car. She didn't look away until our car had driven off.I was touched.I had such good friends, a passion for my studies, and things I wanted to do. My future was filled with endless possibilities. I had to escape this muddy, miserable life as soon as possible.I wasn't sure if Irvin was trying to make conversation or what, but he asked, "What did you say to her that made her stop following us?"I gave him a sideways glance. "What's it to you?"He clenched his hand that was resting on his lap, as if trying to suppress his anger. It must be difficult for someone who was always so high and mighty.He seemed like he wanted to say more, but I had already turned my attention to the window, clearly not wanting to engage with him anymore.However, he still didn't take the hint. He grabbed my hand and placed it in his, gently caressing it.I was disguste

"Millicent! You've become so cruel! Lianne is in the emergency room fighting for her life, and you still dared to hang up on our calls!"Aside from Irvin's repeated calls, my parents also took turns calling me, but I didn't answer any of them.Before I could step away, Irvin moved in front of me, blocking my mom from hitting me."Mom, don't be angry. Emi is here now."The tall and sturdy Irvin blocked my mom completely, making sure she couldn't reach me at all.If this had been before, I would've been touched to see him protect me like that, but now, I just wanted to let out a cold snort."Irvin, stop protecting her! She clearly wants to kill Lianne! Lianne's in the emergency room, fighting for her life… Her life is clearly hanging by a thread!"My mom was so angry that her whole body was trembling.It seemed like Julianne was really on the brink of death. Being cold-hearted and ruthless, I still wanted to push her over the edge,If she were really dying, how could there still

Chapter 57

Irvin was very furious, wearing a grim expression. He couldn't understand how I, who had always been obedient, considerate, and centered around him, had suddenly become like this.My parents looked like they were about to rush over and scold me, but I shot them a warning glance. It seemed to say, "You don't want me to divorce Irvin, do you?"They got the message instantly. Their steps faltered, and instead of berating me, they turned to Irvin with anxious expressions."Irvin, just agree to the divorce! Lianne doesn't have time to wait!""Yeah, Irvin, please! If you keep stalling, Lianne… she might not make it…"Irvin didn't say a word. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged in a terrifying way.His silence was testing my patience. I couldn't help but push him."Come on, Mr. Sawyer! Hurry up! Lianne's still in the emergency room, barely holding on. She's waiting for you to save her. Do you know that we need to save her life? Don't you forget that she saved you bef

Chapter 58

I knew that no matter how much Irvin didn't want to, he would eventually sign. After all, his precious Lianne was dying, and there was no time to waste.On the other hand, Mom was very anxious when she heard Julianne couldn't wait any longer. She clung to Irvin's arm, begging him desperately to save her. Honestly, she was just one step away from grovelling to his feet.Her performance was so convincing she could've won an award.Sometimes, I really have to hand it to Julianne. She managed to make Mom, who's usually cold and heartless even toward her own daughter, treat her like she was the most precious person in the world.That kind of talent wasn't something just anyone could have.As expected, even though Irvin didn't want to do it, he eventually signed the divorce papers.When he was done, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was enraged. It was a really terrifying sight.I had always been someone who appreciates money, so I could understand the pain he felt. Having to suddenly g

Chapter 59

I looked at him seriously and said, "I'm not playing around. Everything I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check."Irvin met my serious gaze, and at first, it seemed like he couldn't believe I was actually lying so confidently. Then, a surge of intense anger flashed in his eyes."Emilia, you made me sign the divorce papers when Lianne was in danger. I already signed it, and now you're still doing this? Do you want her to die that badly?"He thought I was lying. He believed that after I got him to sign the divorce papers, I was suddenly backing out and refusing to donate blood.He had always thought that the three months I spent in the hospital were just a tantrum, that I hadn't really been hurt.If someone didn't love you, how little must they care about you? We had known each other for eight years, been married for four, and even worked side by side on our careers with such great harmony.Yet, he firmly believed that I, someone who hated going to the hospita

Chapter 60

When Irvin saw my face becoming pale instantly, a bloodthirsty and cold smile formed on his lips. He said, "Emilia, don't think I'm still that fool from back then. I won't let you toy with me like that again!"His words obviously carried another meaning, but at that moment, I had no energy to figure out what he was insinuating. When had I ever treated him like a fool and toyed with him?All I could think about was what to do next.I had anticipated that they wouldn't allow Julianne to use my blood because it was "impure", but I hadn't expected Irvin—ever the shrewd businessman—to go to such lengths.Even though my blood was useless, he insisted on drawing it.As I considered whether to take the gamble to sever this marriage at my mortal peril, Mom spoke up for me unexpectedly. "Irvin, I know you're angry. Trust me, I feel the same way too. But no matter what, I once carried Millicent for ten months in my womb. Since her blood is practically useless, don't force her to draw i
