Wilson's body tensed almost imperceptibly.

I read the comment slowly, "SeenItAll commented, 'Mrs. Gunner truly went above and beyond back then. Even with her husband in that state, she never left him. She even personally performed surgery to save him and stabilized the company. She's like a saintess'."

I paused, then chuckled softly. "A saintess, huh? What an interesting title."

Wilson's breathing grew heavier. His fingers instinctively clutched at the bedsheet beneath him.

  • His Doom Comes When He Falls for Her   Chapter 11

    Wilson's body tensed almost imperceptibly.I read the comment slowly, "SeenItAll commented, 'Mrs. Gunner truly went above and beyond back then. Even with her husband in that state, she never left him. She even personally performed surgery to save him and stabilized the company. She's like a saintess'."I paused, then chuckled softly. "A saintess, huh? What an interesting title."Wilson's breathing grew heavier. His fingers instinctively clutched at the bedsheet beneath him.I scrolled down and read another comment aloud, "FadingPast wrote, 'Alas, Mr. Gunner was a man of power back then. Who would've thought he'd end up like this? What a cruel twist of fate. I hear he now relies entirely on his wife. Tsk tsk… That's why people say men need to take responsibility for their families'."Wilson's hand shot out, knocking over the glass on the bedside table.His chest heaved violently. He glared at me, lips trembling, but he couldn't form a single coherent word.Years of confined livin

  • His Doom Comes When He Falls for Her   Chapter 10

    With every word I spoke, Wilson's face grew paler.The anger in his eyes was swallowed by shock and disbelief. He had never imagined that the past he so casually dismissed had left such deep scars in me."I…" He tried to argue, but every word felt powerless against the truth.The violent surge of emotion, combined with the trauma to his body, finally broke him. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out again. The monitor shrieked an urgent alarm.As the medical team rushed in to stabilize him, I stood coldly aside, expressionless, like a detached observer.…A few days later, at Gunner Corp's press conference, I stood under the glaring lights in a sharply tailored black suit. My face showed fatigue, but my gaze was unwavering.Facing the cameras and murmuring media, I bowed deeply."Thank you, everyone, for your concern regarding myself and my husband, Mr. Wilson Gunner."My voice carried a faint rasp of exhaustion. "It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that my husban

  • His Doom Comes When He Falls for Her   Chapter 9

    Wilson stared at me, his eyes wide with shock and the slow, bitter sting of realization.But the anesthesia had fully taken hold. The questions he hadn't voiced and the fear building inside him were all swallowed by darkness.I stopped looking at him. My focus shifted entirely to the surgical site.The scalpel sliced through the blackened, rotting skin, isolating the dead tissue.My movements were calm, swift, and methodical. Each step was executed with textbook precision.The assisting doctors and nurses might have marveled at my skill and composure under pressure.Only I knew the years of sharpened hatred hidden beneath that calm exterior.Since he couldn't control his lower body, I would make sure he had no chance to misuse it.…When Wilson woke again in the ICU, a full day had passed.The anesthesia had worn off, and the searing pain through his body nearly sent him back into unconsciousness.But sharper than the pain was the hollow emptiness he felt below the waist.H

    Watching Wilson thank me with tears in his eyes, completely unaware of the truth, only deepened the frost inside me.He would never realize that the papers he had signed himself were the tools that would bury everything he had.A week later, Wilson suddenly developed a high fever. Severe pain and swelling spread through his lower abdomen.After an emergency examination, the doctor told me with a grave expression that Wilson had developed a rare case of Fournier's gangrene. Immediate surgical debridement was required, or his life would be in danger.The moment Wilson heard the word "gangrene", especially considering where the infection was, he completely broke down.The thing he feared most had finally happened.Fear and humiliation swallowed him whole. He grabbed my arm like a drowning man clinging to the last piece of driftwood.Fear and humiliation swallowed him whole. He grabbed my arm like a drowning man clinging to the last piece of driftwood and began to babble, "Shannon,

  • His Doom Comes When He Falls for Her   Chapter 7

    Wilson closed his eyes briefly, then looked at me in a daze. "In the end, you're the one who loves me most.""We're husband and wife," I said softly.There was a trace of irony in my tone, but Wilson, completely shaken, didn't notice it."No matter what happened before, how could I just stand by when you're in trouble?"Wilson grabbed my hand tightly, so hard it almost crushed my bones.His eyes were red, his voice hoarse. "Shannon, I'm sorry. I've been such a jerk all these years."I gently patted the back of his hand to calm him. "Don't think about that now. Focus on getting better. The doctor said your collapse was sudden. It was caused by a sharp drop in your immune system."You'll need to be very careful from now on. No more stress. You need to focus entirely on resting and recovery."I paused before adding meaningfully, "Especially with… certain possible infection risks. You need to stay alert."Wilson's face turned pale again. He nodded instinctively, completely trustin

  • His Doom Comes When He Falls for Her   Chapter 6

    My words were like a stone plunged into a stagnant pool. But instead of a ripple, they ignited a violent storm in Wilson's eyes.As he lay on the hospital bed, already pale from weakness, he seemed to lose the last trace of color in his skin.His mouth hung open, a rasping sound escaping his throat. His eyes locked onto me, filled with disbelief and horror.For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence. Then, the eruption came."N-No way. You're lying! Shannon, you're fucking lying to me!"Wilson tried to push himself up, but his weakened body failed him. He collapsed back onto the bed.He ignored his condition. Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared with a twisted expression, "She's so pure and innocent. How could she possibly be… a freak?"His reaction was exactly what I expected. Or maybe even more extreme than I imagined.I stood there calmly. Wilson's crude words didn't anger me. If anything, I looked quietly concerned.When he finally ran out of breath and broke in
