Chapter 2

"He's right, Sonia. Your son needs the complete love of his parents. Henry is petty and extreme in nature. I'm really worried that he'll hurt your baby."

Sonia did not respond, but clenched her fingers before looking up at Robert to ask, "Have you sent the text? What did he reply?"

That was when Sonia's phone rang. Her eyes lit up, thinking that it was a call from me, and she answered the call haughtily, "Henry, you're finally…"

However, the voice on the other end took her by surprise. "Hello, are you Henry Jacobs' wife? We're calling for you to pick up a guardian angel pendant from Serenity Chapel."

Sonia asked, "What guardian angel pendant?"

The person on the phone answered with a sigh. "A year ago, Mr. Jacobs visited our chapel and prayed the entire day for his sick wife to be safe and sound. After that, he returned to give a prayer of thanks, saying that his wife had recuperated and was pregnant.

"Our chaplain said it was a blessing from heaven, and he blessed the pendant and prayed that his baby would grow up safe and healthy. However, we haven't been able to contact him for several months."

Sonia was diagnosed with advanced heart failure, and I did everything I could to seek treatment for her. I even begged the heavens to show pity on her and knelt in prayer until my knees bled. I was overjoyed when she got well, and I returned to the chapel to give a prayer of thanks, thinking that the worst was over and good days would follow.

However, I lost everything in the end.

I clutched my chest as a sharp pain shot through my heart, then I laughed to myself. I had no idea that an artificial heart could hurt so badly.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard about the pendant. "I had no idea that Henry was such a sentimental man. When you were suffering from your heart problems, we thought he ran off because he was afraid of taking responsibility for you. It looks like we were wrong about Henry…"

Sonia suddenly clutched her chest and bit her rosy lip. After the aching passed, she said through clenched teeth, "That's the difference between Henry and Eddie. Henry only takes superficial action, but Eddie risked his life to save me. I would have died if Eddie hadn't given me his heart in that transplant.

"Eddie doesn't have long to live, yet all Henry does is get jealous about Eddie. He even asked for a divorce over a small matter."

There was a bitter taste in my mouth. I was the one who gave my heart to Sonia. The doctors informed me that I could only live two years at most, even if I paid handsomely for an artificial heart to be transplanted inside me and took pills every day to maintain my condition.

I did not regret my decision, and even felt lucky that I still had time, but when I woke up from my coma, I saw Sonia thanking Eddie tearfully for his sacrifice. I had no idea how to explain the situation, and I was accused of copying Eddie.

Our relationship improved slightly when Sonia found out that she was pregnant, but when Eddie came to visit her, he clutched his chest and said dejectedly, "It’s too bad I don't have long to live. I will never have a child of my own and I won't be able to meet your baby, Sonia."

Sonia did not even hesitate to give Eddie a baby, which resulted in tragedy.

The atmosphere became tense as everyone listened to Sonia's accusation, and they gave each other looks. They tried to cut the tension by joking around, so they turned on the television. "You shouldn't get so worked up after just giving birth, Sonia. You should relax."

That was when a news report was heard on television. "While patrolling, the drone discovered the skeleton of a man on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. The drone's technology…"

Sonia's head jerked up, and her eyes widened. "Which island is that?"

Someone replied weakly, "I heard that it's the island you visited with Henry, Sonia. I think it's around those coordinates…"
