Chapter 1

"Ms. Lacroix, are you sure you want to schedule the euthanasia program for next month? Are you sure you'd like to donate all your organs too?""I'm sure," Cadence Lacroix replied, her tone bitter as she looked down at the test report filled with alarming results. "Given my condition, I'm just living on borrowed time."All of her organs were failing with no hope of recovery. At most, she had only one year left to live.Rather than dragging things out in bed during her remaining days, she would rather leave with dignity and make a small contribution to society.Under the doctor's mournful gaze, Cadence stood up and left the hospital.When she returned home and opened the door, she immediately heard amorous noises coming from the bedroom.Her already pale face turned a shade whiter. She quickly hid her health report and leaned against the bedroom door. As she listened to the sounds of intense lovemaking inside, her nails dug deep into her palm without her realizing it.She had long

Cadence's silence only fueled Zayn's anger. Fury blazed even more ardently in his eyes.He flung her off and wiped the hand that had touched her with a tissue in disgust. "What are you standing there for? Cassidy is still waiting for you to get her some water."Cadence's steps toward the kitchen were slightly panicked. She poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table. Her hand couldn't help but tremble slightly."Thank you." Cassidy's voice was hoarse after a round of intense lovemaking. "I'll be in your care after this. Zayn said I can move in after this. We're all family. You don't mind, do you?"Cadence froze for a moment before asking through gritted teeth, "He's lost his mind. Have you lost your mind too?"Her slightly mocking tone provoked Cassidy, whose voice suddenly turned shrill. "That's right. I have indeed lost my mind! You've always been better than me. Everyone always loves you more. No one in our family ever cared about me!" The bedsheets became

Chapter 3

That night, Zayn and Cassidy seemed to be intent on paying back Cadence for earlier. Once again, they made love obnoxiously and made a ruckus."Cassidy, I love you so much…""Zayn, I love you too. Ah!"Cadence was resting in the room right next door. She bit her lip hard and pulled the blanket over her head to drown out the sounds.She, too, had once been like this with Zayn. They had once been entangled in each other's arms on the same bed, and his voice was just as tender back then.They had once held each other tightly as they dreamed of a future where they grew old together, surrounded by their offspring.However, times had changed. In the end, those dreams turned into illusions that popped easily like soap bubbles.As Cadence thought of this, a wave of deep sorrow surged in her heart. Tears slid down her cheeks soundlessly.Cadence barely slept that night. Early the next morning, she got out of bed with faint, dark shadows beneath her eyes.At the breakfast table, she qui

Seeing the look of disgust in his eyes, Cadence flashed him a wistful half-smile. "You'll get what you wish for."Cassidy quickly latched onto Zayn's arm and said sweetly, "Zayn, there's no point getting angry over her. You'll just upset yourself. Look, the weather outside is so nice today. Why don't we go out shopping?"Zayn turned to look at Cassidy, and his expression immediately softened."Alright, I'll go to the garage and get the car. Wait for me," he said gently, wrapping his arm around her waist.With that, he turned on his heel and walked out, slamming the door shut with a resounding bang. The loud crash shattered the last bit of calm Cadence had managed to hold onto.Cassidy strolled over casually and dropped her considerate act completely. "I know you don't want him to know about your illness, so no need to thank me. That's just something a sister should do."She winked proudly at Cadence and sashayed out of the dining hall.Hearing the roar of the sports car fading

Chapter 5

Those few words instantly shattered the hardened shell Zayn had formed over the years. He held Cadence in his arms tightly and rushed to the car at top speed.Inside the enclosed space, the small sparks of desire turned into a blazing inferno of passion. They only had eyes for each other—nothing else in the world mattered."Take it easy…" Cadence winced from the pain.Zayn paused slightly, then his movements became incredibly gentle. "Alright. Don't be afraid. Leave everything to me."...Cadence had no idea how long their lovemaking had lasted. When she woke up, she found herself back home, lying on the same bed with Zayn.Both of them were completely naked, and Zayn's arm was still wrapped around her waist. His body was pressed closely against her back.Countless women had also slept in this bed. Those women had awoken in his arms just as she did now.Following that realization, a bitter ache filled Cadence's heart. She felt a sharp cramp in her stomach. Then only she remembe

Chapter 6

The two of them tumbled down the stairs and ended up lying at the bottom.As they landed, Cassidy deliberately fell on top of Cadence.Zayn rushed over in a panic and ran straight to Cassidy's side."Cassidy, are you okay?" he asked anxiously, his face filled with worry."Zayn, it hurts so much… " Cassidy cried with tears streaming down her face. She looked broken and very pitiful.Immediately, Zayn turned to look at Cadence with murderous rage. "What are you doing? You knew Cassidy was pregnant, and you still pushed her! Were you trying to kill her and the baby?"I'm warning you! If anything happens to Cassidy or the baby in her belly, I won't forgive you!"After spitting those harsh words, Zayn quickly lifted Cassidy into his arms. "I'll take you to see the doctor. Our baby will be fine!"He walked away without so much as a backward glance. Therefore, he didn't see the patch of red that was slowly spreading beneath Cadence.As Cadence felt the sharp pain in her lower abdomen

Chapter 7

Zayn and Cassidy's wedding finally happened amid great anticipation.Fate seemed to be playing a joke on Cadence. The day of their grand celebration happened to be the day she had chosen to leave this world.Early that morning, Zayn and Cassidy joyfully headed to the church with a crowd of merry guests.Before leaving, Zayn looked at Cadence with a complicated expression and asked coldly, "Today is my and Cassidy's big day. Don't you have anything to say?"Cadence looked at Zayn. However, his face had become blurry due to her failing eyesight.She responded in a calm tone, "I wish you both will live long and enjoy a lifetime of happiness."At the end of the day, one was the man she loved, and the other was her younger sister. Cadence's wish was genuine—it came straight from her heart.But Zayn only found her demeanor unbearably irritating. He sneered coldly, "How hypocritical!"With that, he left the villa without looking back and left Cadence alone.That was just what she wan

Inside the church, the wedding ended.Zayn still had not received a call from Cadence. His chest felt tight with pain. He wanted to take a few wedding photos and send them to Cadence, but he found that his phone had been shut off.Thinking of the call he received earlier, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He turned his phone back on.His message notification went off instantly.A message from one hour ago read, "Mr. Ulrich, your wife, Ms. Cadence Lacroix, needs your signature for the full-body organ donation consent form. Please reply as soon as possible!"Then, a message from half an hour ago read, "Mr. Ulrich, the euthanasia procedure is about to begin. Are you able to come and sign?"Finally, the last text from ten minutes ago read, "Sorry to bother you. Ms. Lacroix has presented a divorce certificate. We no longer need your signature."Zayn's heart skipped a beat. Then, overwhelming panic swept over him.He kept telling himself that this couldn't be true. Ca

The doors to the operating room slammed shut.Once outside, the security guards instinctively loosened their grip.Zayn broke free from their restraint and rushed forward. He pounded on the door with all his strength. "Open up! Cadence is my wife! I won't allow you to take her organs! I won't allow it! Do you hear me?"Zayn cried and shouted without regard for his image, until he was completely exhausted and hoarse.Passing patients looked at him with sympathy."He's so young. His wife must've been young too… How sad.""This is truly heartbreaking…"Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side. "Mr. Ulrich, please calm down."Zayn turned around and saw a female doctor wearing glasses standing not far away."You… You're that doctor from before," Zayn murmured with recognition.Not long ago, it was this very doctor who had performed Cadence's medical examination. He vaguely recalled that her expression at the time had been very grave. It seemed as if she had something very importa

Chapter 10

Penny handed a thick file to Zayn. "All of Ms. Lacroix's medical records are in here."Zayn held the file and flipped through it, his expression growing heavier with each page he read.According to the records, the last time Cadence visited the hospital for treatment was the very day Cassidy found out she was pregnant.Scenes from that day flooded Zayn's mind. After Cadence and Cassidy fell down the stairs, she had lain on the ground like she had the wind knocked out of her. But he had ignored that completely and cruelly threatened her in defense of Cassidy.As Zayn recalled everything, he wished he could kill his past self.According to Penny's notes, there was even a record that Cadence had suffered a miscarriage."That fetus had already begun to take shape. It was a baby girl," Penny informed solemnly.After taking in Zayn's somber expression, all the things she had wanted to say were reduced to one single sentence. As a doctor, she had no right to judge anyone. Even if Zayn
