MasukEmily's POV My eyes slowly fluttered open.Everything was blurry at first and my head throbbed, a deep, pounding ache that made me groan softly. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy.Then I saw a familiar figure walking toward me slowly. I blinked again, forcing my vision to clear, and my heart fluttered when I realized it was Tyler.He sat on the edge of the bed immediately, his face pale, his eyes red and tired. He looked completely exhausted.“Emily,” he said, relief evident in his voice. “You’re awake.”I swallowed, my throat dry. My head hurt so badly, but seeing him there made me happy. I felt stronger than earlier, though still weak.“T-Tyler…” My voice came out barely louder than a whisper.He leaned closer instantly. “Hey, don’t talk. You don’t have to.” His hand hovered over mine, hesitant, like he was scared to touch me. “You scared me. You scared the hell out of me.I tried to smile, but it barely worked. “My… head,” I murmured.“I know,” he said softly. “You’ve got a
Tyler's POV “I don’t care what happens to her,” Emily’s mother said, her voice flat. “And I’m not donating my blood. You’re wasting your time here. Leave.”I just stood there frozen. My stomach twisted so hard it felt like I might be sick. She couldn’t be serious. No mother could be this heartless. I clenched my teeth and stepped forward without saying a word. I walked past Wendy.“Tyler—” Wendy called. But I didn’t answer.I stopped directly in front of Emily’s mother again. Slowly, I lifted my head and met her eyes. “Name your price.”Her brows shot up. “What?”“You heard me,” I said, my voice low. “Name your price. I want you to donate blood to my wife. Now.”She scoffed. “I already said I’m not intere—”“Five hundred thousand dollars.”She froze completely, staring at me with suspicion. “Five… what?”“One million dollars,” I said without hesitation. “I’ll give you one million dollars to donate blood to Emily.”Her eyes widened, greed lighting them up instantly. Then she laughed.
Tyler's POV I ran a hand through my hair, my fingers trembling as I looked at the doctor. “Doctor… why don’t you have any blood in the blood bank?” My voice cracked. “This is a huge hospital. How could you not have blood?”The doctor’s expression softened. “I know, Mr. Miller. I understand how upsetting this is,” he said gently. “But we ran out of O-negative blood just a few hours ago. We still have other blood types, but your wife can’t receive those. O-negative patients can only receive O-negative blood.”My chest tightened. “So what happens now?” I asked, barely breathing.“We’re making calls,” he replied. “We’re reaching out to nearby hospitals and trying to locate an individual donor as quickly as possible. We’re doing everything we can.”I swallowed hard, my hands clenching into fists. “Can I see her?” I asked quietly. “Please. I just need to see my wife.”The doctor hesitated. “I don’t usually—”“Please,” I cut in, my voice breaking. “I just need to see her.”He sighed, then n
Tyler's POV “She needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible.”My heart started racing so loudly I could hear it in my ears. “Doctor…okay,” I said quickly, my voice shaking. “Please. Just… just get it done.”The doctor nodded slowly. “We’ll need to run a blood test first to determine her blood type. We’ll try to be as quick as possible. Please be patient and try to relax.”I nodded. “Okay. Okay.”He turned and went back inside the emergency room, and the doors closed.I started pacing immediately, back and forth, my hands trembling. My mind kept replaying the image of Emily bleeding in my arms, her eyes barely open, her body going limp against mine.“Please…Please be okay.” I kept saying over and over.Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. “Tyler! Tyler!”I looked ahead and saw Wendy rushing toward me, her face filled with fear.“How is Emily?” she asked breathlessly. “Can I see her?”I swallowed hard, shaking my head. “She’s still in the emergency room. I haven’t e
Tyler's POV Everything happened too fast.Before my brain could even process what was going on, Davis grabbed a glass vase from the side table and swung straight at Emily.“Emily!”Glass cracked and she cried out, her hands flying to her head as blood instantly spilled down her forehead. Her body swayed, her knees giving out, and I was there just in time, catching her as she collapsed into my arms.My vision went red as panic filled my chest.“DAVIS!” I roared, my voice shaking the room.He just stood there, looking completely blank.Ethan moved fast, grabbing him and restraining him before he tried to run away. I didn’t care about anything else. I looked down at Emily.Her eyes fluttered, barely staying open. Her body felt too light in my arms.“Emily,” I whispered urgently, panic rising in my throat. “Emily. Baby. Look at me. Speak to me. Please...”Her lips trembled, but no words came out. Fear hit me at once. “Call the fucking doctor, Ethan!” I shouted, my hands shaking as I pres
Emily's POV I held my phone tightly in my hand and ran out of the room. Finally, I had a chance. A chance to tell everyone the truth about Davis, the truth about Vivian, and their stupid scheme. Everything needed to come out.I moved quickly, my heart racing in my chest. When I glanced back, I saw Davis and Vivian rushing after me, Davis in particular, his expression furious. I ran faster, my legs pumping as adrenaline rushed through me.I went up the stairs two at a time, my breath coming in sharp gasps. Davis was going to try to stop me, I just knew it, but I wouldn’t let him. So many emotions filled inside me. Regret that I had treated Tyler the way I did. Joy that Vivian wasn’t pregnant for him. Sadness that Tyler and I had grown apart over something that wasn’t even our fault. My chest ached, my mind raced, but all I could think about was exposing their lies.Finally, I reached Tyler’s door. I grabbed the handle and tried to open it. But it was locked.I panicked instantly and s
