Emma's chest tightened as she looked at the man she had loved since childhood. For the first time, she couldn't completely understand what was going through his mind.

She thought David did not want to divorce her because he was afraid of his grandfather and her father's opposition to such a scandal; at the same time, she also thought David still harbored resentment toward Allison for abandoning him on their wedding day; Lastly, Emma assumed David wanted to protect his reputation and avoid being seen as the one who initiated the divorce, thereby avoiding the blame. In all these, she was sure of one thing—it wasn’t because David loved her or couldn’t bear to let her go.

Meanwhile, Allison was filled with anger and hatred. She couldn't let David continue to interfere in her plans anymore. She had to separate them completely today!

With tears flowing freely, she clasped her hands together towards Emma. “Please Emma, forgive me. It was never my intention to b

    A week had passed since that night in the hospital, but Emma still couldn't shake the image of David's face when he heard that she wanted a divorce. His expression had been so chaotic — disbelief, anger, sadness, and even a touch of grievance. She couldn’t understand why he had shown such a complicated expression.Anyways, she was too tired to try and figure out what went on in his mind anymore. She had made her decision; she was going to divorce him and what he thought didn't matter to her.Moreover, Emma hadn’t seen David since that night. He must have been busy making up for the time lost with Henry, repairing their relationship. As for her, she wasn’t idle either. She had been busy packing up her things, preparing to leave. Once David signed the divorce papers, they would have nothing more to do with each other.But Emma also knew that even if her divorce with David was a foregone conclusion, she still needed to inform David's grandfather. She sighed, remembering that she once

    Five years later, Geneva, Switzerland. "Clamp off," Emma instructed, her voice calm but firm. One of the nurses quickly complied, and the heart began beating on its own. "Excellent work, Dr. Morgan," one of the residents said, his tone filled with admiration. Emma didn’t respond immediately. Her focus remained on the patient until she was satisfied with the stability of the vitals. Finally, she stepped back and nodded. “Close him up and monitor his recovery closely. The next 24 hours are critical.” As she stripped off her gloves and gown, the head nurse approached her. “Dr. Morgan, you never cease to amaze us. That was a high-risk procedure, and you handled it like it was routine.” Emma offered a small smile, though her mind was already on her next task. “It’s what we’re trained to do. Let’s hope the patient agrees with us in recovery.” She exited the OR and headed to her office. The walls were lined with certificates, awards, and framed articles praising her groundbreaking wor

    Professor Charles Callum sat reclined in an armchair, his hands folded over the cane resting between his knees. Across from him sat David Lawson, his face pale and filled with worry. “My son needs help, Professor Charles. He was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart condition,” David said, his voice trembling as he leaned forward. “No one else will touch the case. They all say it’s too risky, but I can’t accept that. Henry deserves a chance…he's my only son.” Prof. Charles sighed, his aged face filled with sympathy. “Mr. Lawson, I understand your plight. But I’m retired. I haven’t held a scalpel in years, let alone kept up with the advancements in modern cardiac surgery. It would be a disservice to your son for me to attempt this.” "But you’re Charles Callum," David pressed, sounding desperate. "You’re a legend in cardiac surgery. If anyone can do this, it’s you.”Prof. Charles shook his head, a bittersweet smile crossing his lips. “I can’t take that risk, not with a life as de

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Meeting Dr. Morgan

    David stood in the hospital's waiting area, still staring in the direction Emma had disappeared, his mind struggling to catch up with what his eyes had just seen. Emma—here, in this hospital? The thought sent a jolt through him. He had spent years wondering where she had gone, what had become of her, and now, out of nowhere, she was right in front of him. A flood of questions swirled in his mind. How long had she been here? More than anything, he wanted to ask her everything—how she had been, what had happened after she left, and, most pressing of all, how she had managed to rebuild her life after their divorce. And to crown it all, she looked… stunning. Even after all these years, time had done nothing to dull her beauty. If anything, it had only refined it. Her dark hair, once soft waves, was now neatly pulled back, giving her this elegant, professional look. David swallowed, a strange tightness settling in his chest. He had expected a lot of things when he came to this hospital—

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Flicker of Recognition

    David stared at the picture on the nurse's phone, surprised. He saw a group of doctors walking out of the operating room while talking to each other. Although there were many people, he immediately saw that the focus of the photo was the two people in the center of the crowd. He thought that this was Dr. Morgan and...Emma. Dr. Morgan was just as he thought, a middle-aged woman, serious, calm, and very professional. As for Emma... Seeing Emma leaning close to Dr. Morgan, saying something with a smile on her face, David couldn’t help but frown. Emma seemed to be the same as before, always wanting to stand in the center to attract the attention of others. In such a serious occasion, how could she, an intern, walk in front of everyone and stand with Dr. Morgan? She was still laughing and not serious at all. Emma… again. Why does she keep showing up everywhere I turn? David thought. His mind was spinning as he looked back at the woman standing next to Emma. The middle-aged woman seemed

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Unravelled Identity

    The moment their eyes met, Emma's expression flickered, betraying a storm of emotions—anger, betrayal, and a flash of something far more vulnerable, something that cut deeper than she wanted to admit. For that short moment, she looked exposed, like the walls she had built around herself had cracked. But then, just as quickly, she pulled herself together. Her face hardened, and she sat up straighter, looking calm and in control again. Remembering the photo of Dr. Morgan and Emma he'd just seen earlier, David quickly pieces all the information - it seemed that Emma was Dr. Morgan's student or assistant. Seeing Emma sitting on the chair with no intention of getting up, as if she was the owner of the chair, David sighed helplessly and said, “Emma, now is not the time to play role-playing games, can you please stand up and go find Dr. Morgan, I really have something important to talk to her about!” Realizing that David thought she probably dressed like this on purpose; he had alread

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Unfinished Ties

    David stood frozen, his mind struggling to keep up. Emma. Emma Morgan. Now that he thought about it, It all made sense now—Morgan, Emma's late mother’s surname. Of course. And If there was anyone capable of helping Emma disappear completely and building her career, of creating a new identity so seamlessly that even the best private investigators he'd hired in the past had failed to track her, it had to be his grandfather. His influence, his resources—there was no doubt in David’s mind that his grandfather had orchestrated everything. Afterall, he was the same person who had used every means to make David sign the divorce papers, even to the point of threatening to disown him. And Emma? She had done more than just disappear. She had rebuilt herself from nothing, becoming someone remarkable…becoming Dr. Morgan. Yet, as David stood there, staring at her in stunned silence. A smirk spread across her lips as Emma tilted her head. "Why do you look so surprised, David? Shouldn’t you b

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   The Breaking Point

    David stood frozen, his mind struggling to process Emma’s words. "I won’t be operating on Henry." The relief he had felt moments ago turned into something heavy and unbearable. He had expected anger, maybe even some resistance, but outright refusal? No. Not from Emma—not when she had admitted that Henry’s condition, though delicate, wasn’t impossible to treat. His chest tightened. He couldn’t understand. His voice came out uneven, disbelieving. "You— You’re refusing? Why?" She did hate Alison and David, and she did hope that they would not have an easy life, but Henry was innocent. How could she tell them that the probability of Henry surviving and recovering was very low? How could she say such cruel words? "I don’t owe you an explanation, David," she said. "I have the right to refuse any case, and I’m exercising that right now." David’s breath hitched. "The right to refuse?" He let out a dry, humorless laugh, rubbing a hand over his jaw. "You mean to tell me that after eve

    (Flashback continues…)Early the next morning, Dr. Allen came to the ward to check up on David.“All signs show he’s on the road to recovery,” he said, glancing at the readings. “He should regain consciousness soon… probably in a few hours’ time.”Allison, seated by David’s bedside, clasped her hands together tightly. Her eyes glistened with relief. “Thank goodness… Thank you, Doctor Allen,” she said in a sincere tone.“You're welcome, Mrs. Lawson. Dr. Morgan should be given all the accolades for Mr. David's fast recovery. She'll soon be here to check up on him.”Allison's smile faltered when she heard Emma's name, but said nothing.Dr. Allen excused himself after making sure everything was in order, and the ward returned to a quiet stillness.About an hour later, the door creaked open gently. Emma stepped inside, a clipboard in one hand.She noticed that Allison was not in the room, and her eyes automatically sought David’s face. Seeing his resting form—the soft rise and fall of his

    David’s low groans of pain pierced the hospital room like sharp needles, each sound tugging at Allison’s nerves. She stood at the edge of the bed, her hands trembling as she watched him writhe in discomfort. His body tensed, his fingers curling tightly around the hospital blanket. Sweat dotted his forehead, his breathing ragged.Doctor Allen had warned her earlier that such episodes were expected. Post-operative pain, especially after major abdominal surgery, often came in waves. David had undergone multiple incisions, internal stitching, and extensive suturing. Nerve endings disrupted by the trauma often sent confused pain signals as the body tried to heal. This was a normal part of the recovery phase—unpleasant, but manageable.Still, seeing him like this unsettled her."Nurse!" Allison shouted, pressing the emergency bell frantically as David let out another cry, clutching his side.Within seconds, Nurse Gina appeared at the door. She was calm and experienced, a woman in her late t

    "Mom, I'm so tired!" Allison groaned, pacing back and forth around the hospital garden in angry strides as she spoke into her phone. "Can you imagine? I’ve been tending to him for days now, and it’s like nothing I do even matters. He just stares past me. He complains that I disturb him. He won’t talk to me. And when he does, it’s like I’m some stranger! Cold. Indifferent. Why can’t he just show me a bit of gratitude?"Isabel’s voice came through the line, gentle yet firm. "Allison, take it easy on him. The accident might have hit him harder than you think. You can’t expect him to just bounce back like nothing happened."Allison let out a loud, bitter hiss. She turned away from the flowerbed, wrapping one arm around herself as she paced. "Hit him hard? Oh please. How then does he still remember Emma's name? Explain how he can still manage to call out her name in his sleep every damn night. Every. Single. Night, Mom!"There was a short pause on the other end of the call."Emma?" Isabe

    The hospital room, over time, became too boring for David's liking.Visitors had come and gone since his accident. Too many of them. With each face that walked through the door, he felt more irritated and exhausted.The visits were starting to feel like noise. Everyone had something to say, and yet none of it mattered to him.Everyone except Henry.His seven-year-old son and Grandfather were the only people David didn’t mind seeing. Henry had come by after getting better from his own little accident. When he walked into the room, David’s chest had softened for the first time in days.“Daddy,” Henry had said quietly, his big eyes looking unsure.David had managed a weak smile. “Hey, champ.”Henry tiptoed closer and gently placed a small toy car on the edge of the bed. “I brought this for you. It's my favorite, but... you can borrow it till you get better.”David reached for the toy, his fingers brushing the smooth plastic. “Thanks, buddy. That means a lot.”Henry didn’t ask a lot of qu

    David felt like he was floating. Somewhere far away, he heard voices. They sounded blurry, like someone speaking underwater. But one voice stood out—it was soft and feminine. And the scent… it was familiar, comforting. His heart stirred.Emma.That was the first person that came to his mind. It had to be her. She was here, by his side. He could almost feel her presence. Excited by the thought, David tried to open his eyes. But the moment he did, a sharp light hit his vision, making him squint and shut them quickly. It was too bright.He waited a few seconds, then tried again. Slowly, the light became bearable. His vision cleared a little, and the voice he had heard earlier came again—this time louder and full of emotion.“He’s awake! Doctor, he’s awake!”David blinked a few more times, now able to focus on the face leaning over him.It wasn’t Emma.It was Allison.He didn’t know what to feel about that moment. A small wave of disappointment washed over him, but he pushed it down. Righ

    David broke into a run, weaving through the chaos. Some drivers cursed at him, others simply ignored him, but he didn't care. He started running towards the hospital, not even thinking about his injuries, not thinking about the blood that still stained his face and clothes.Passers-by froze mid-step, gasping and turning to stare."Is he hurt?!" a woman whispered, clutching her umbrella tighter."Somebody stop him!" another man shouted, backing away as David barreled past.Ahead, a group of policemen stationed ahead, at the roadblock spotted him instantly. Their faces hardened with alarm."Hey! You there!" one officer barked, stepping forward with his hand raised. "Stop! Stop right now!"But David didn’t even glance at them. Another officer lunged toward him, grabbing at his arm. "Sir, stop! You need medical attention—!""Get off me!" David growled, yanking his arm free without breaking stride."He's bleeding like crazy!" one officer muttered under his breath, chasing after him

    “Dammit!” David slammed his hands hard against the steering wheel, his voice rough with anger and frustration.The rain continued to pour heavily outside, the sky dark and angry. The road ahead, which had already been bad, had become even worse. Car horns blared from every direction as drivers, growing impatient, pressed down aggressively on their horns. People tried to cut each other off, swerving and pushing their way forward, causing more confusion.David gritted his teeth as he watched the cars barely move an inch. The downpour made visibility almost zero, but it didn't stop reckless drivers from pushing their way ahead. Every second wasted felt like a knife twisting in his heart. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his bloodied fingers trembling slightly. He wished he had his phone with him right now. At least he would have tried to call Emma and find out how she was doing.“Dammit!” he cursed out loudly again, silently blaming himself for being in such a hurry that

    Suddenly, in front of him, a huge screen materialized in the air.David stared at it, confused about where it had appeared from. Then images and videos started to play on the screen.At first, the screen showed Emma’s face — glowing, full of joy and love. She was wearing a beautiful white dress, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. David could almost feel the warmth of her smile, the way it used to light up a whole room. He saw himself standing across from her, sliding a ring onto her finger. Emma’s hands were trembling slightly, but her smile never faded. When it was her turn, she slipped the ring onto his hand, her fingers brushing against his with a gentleness that made his chest tighten.The crowd around them cheered, but David only heard Emma’s soft laughter as they leaned in and kissed- a deep, passionate kiss, full of promises and dreams. It felt so real that David almost reached out to hold her, to pull her back into his arms.The images shifted, and he saw her curled

    The rain was falling heavily, beating against David’s windshield and making it hard to see. The wipers moved quickly, but they couldn't clear away the water fast enough. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he pressed harder on the gas pedal.His heartbeat was racing.The road was almost empty except for his car. The rain made everything look blurry, and the tires slipped slightly every now and then. Still, he didn’t slow down. He had to find Emma, make sure she was alright.Suddenly, a flash of bright lights appeared right in front of him. Before David could react, a huge truck swerved into his lane. The truck’s big wheels were sliding on the wet road, throwing up sprays of water. Heavy crates were stacked high on the back, covered with a torn tarp that flapped wildly in the wind. Some of the crates looked like they were about to fall off.The truck driver was yelling something, waving his arms out the window, but David couldn’t hear anything. The sound of the rain poun
