Chapter 7

Author: Amber Fleck
Benjamin gripped Hailey's wrist so tightly that the veins in his temples bulged. "You even had to take Edith's engagement ring?! When did you ask her for it?

"When we pretended to have a wedding, I bought you a 10-carat diamond ring. Wasn't that enough for you?! Do you even have a heart?"

Hailey's face flushed red, and she burst into tears. "I didn't steal it! The last time I visited your house, the ring was sitting on the coffee table, covered in dust!

"Edith must have decided she was too go

    "Let's leave my name off the invitation for now. I want to see Benjamin's expression when he arrives at the wedding," I said.Benedict's smile deepened. He held out his hand to me. "I'm not disappointed in the person I saved. You certainly don't waste any time making decisions."I gently shook his hand. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."…On the day of the wedding, the venue was even more lavishly decorated than I'd imagined.Benedict had invited every prominent figure in the city, including many influential people Benjamin had worked so hard to curry favor with.After putting on my wedding dress, I stood before the mirror and stared at my reflection for a long time, barely able to believe what I was seeing."There's still time to change your mind." Benedict strolled up behind me and folded his arms across his chest. "You look beautiful. Benjamin's already here. Have you made up your mind?"I turned around and took his arm. "I've chosen to marry you. It has nothing to

    Edith's POVI opened my eyes, my throat so dry that I could barely speak. "Am I dead?"A man chuckled softly beside me.I struggled to turn my head toward him.To my utter surprise, I found myself staring at a face I never expected to see.It was Benedict Olsen, Benjamin's younger brother, who had been raised overseas by the Olsen family. He was Benjamin's archenemy and the person most likely to threaten his position within the family.Benedict placed a glass of lemon water on the bedside table. He courteously helped me sit up before handing me the glass."Can you drink by yourself?" he asked."Yes…" I silently took the glass, my mind reeling with shock.After finishing the water, I began to feel a little better and glanced around. "Were you the one who saved me?"Benedict regarded me with interest. "You were the one who called me. Actually, I should be asking you why you listed me as your emergency contact."I was in a meeting at the office that day when my phone suddenly r

    Benjamin gripped Hailey's wrist so tightly that the veins in his temples bulged. "You even had to take Edith's engagement ring?! When did you ask her for it?"When we pretended to have a wedding, I bought you a 10-carat diamond ring. Wasn't that enough for you?! Do you even have a heart?"Hailey's face flushed red, and she burst into tears. "I didn't steal it! The last time I visited your house, the ring was sitting on the coffee table, covered in dust!"Edith must have decided she was too good for you and that your engagement ring was too cheap to wear in public, so she took it off and tossed it aside!"I know you had no money when you proposed to her. You spent more than half a year saving up just to buy that 3,000-dollar ring."I felt sorry for you. I couldn't bear to see such a sincere expression of your love gathering dust, so I put it on myself!"How could you say something like that about me? I'm heartbroken!"With that, Hailey ran out of the house in tears.Benjamin did

    Benjamin hurried out of the bedroom. "Edith? Is that you? Are you back?"When he opened the door, he found Hailey standing in the living room. She was holding the bouquet of sweet pink roses he'd just bought for Edith and was about to leave with it.Benjamin grabbed her wrist, his brows furrowed so deeply they could have crushed a fly. "What are you doing here? Who said you could take those flowers?"Hailey clearly hadn't expected him to be home.After a moment of surprise, she put on her usual sweet smile. "Benjamin, you're home!"Mom keeps saying she wants to go outside for some fresh air now that she's been discharged from the hospital. But she's still weak and hasn't fully recovered, so I thought I'd buy some flowers and plants to brighten up the house for her."I was going to ask you to come shopping with me, but you didn't answer your phone. When I came looking for you, I saw this bouquet in the living room and thought I'd take it for now."For some reason, although Hailey

    Benjamin froze, nearly dropping his phone. His lips trembled as he asked, "What did you say? Edith has acute cardiomyopathy? How is that possible?"His ears rang, and he suddenly recalled the last time he'd seen Edith, when she'd completely lost control of herself.By the time he came to his senses, he'd already rushed to his car.…After running five red lights, Benjamin stumbled into the hospital. He snatched the computer from the reception desk and typed in Edith's name.The moment he saw the countless examination records on the screen, his legs gave way. He collapsed to the floor, utterly distraught."Edith... She really has cardiomyopathy?"He couldn't bear to imagine Edith spending the entire month he'd devoted to helping Hailey prepare for their wedding alone in the hospital, with no one by her side as she underwent treatment.She used to be so afraid of pain that even a routine blood draw terrified her. She'd always begged him to cover her eyes before she dared let the

    My heart clenched. "What do you mean? Why can't you perform the surgery?"Although I'd been taking the best medication available, cardiomyopathy was a dangerous condition that could turn fatal at any moment.While waiting for my surgery, I'd suffered at least three attacks. The worst had nearly killed me. I'd spent twelve whole hours in the emergency resuscitation room. Only through sheer determination to survive had I managed to pull through. My body couldn't afford to wait any longer.David looked troubled. "The donor heart matched to you has just been transferred to another patient."I clutched my chest. "Transferred? Who transferred it? Did someone offer you more money? Whatever they paid, I'll double it!"David didn't dare answer. He put on his mask and tried to flee.I climbed off the operating table and hurried after him, on the verge of a complete breakdown."You know my condition! I can't afford to wait any longer. How could you just give my donor heart to someone else?
