Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 761 - Bab 770

"If my mother wanted to live, she would have returned to the Hendersons in Ravenwell. There are more important things than staying alive, be it dignity, morals, or conscience. Let me go, Evan."I'd rather die than have Cindy's heart transplanted into me. It's a sin, and it makes me sick…" Beverly said.Evan stared at her, his gaze obsessive and stubborn. How could he let Beverly go? He could barely sleep a wink at night, knowing that there might be a day Beverly closed her eyes and never woke up again."Fine, I'll let you leave." Evan scanned the messy makeshift operating room as storm clouds gathered in his eyes. He needed time to straighten up the room.Delight flickered across Beverly's face, but she dared not say a word or move."Your wound's torn open. I'll have the doctor bandage it up for you, then send you home after." Having said this, Evan pulled Beverly out of the room.A row of bodyguards stood at the door, and across from them was a row of doctors."Go ahead," Eva

The police officer took the document from Cindy and read it carefully.Evan grabbed Cindy's arm and hissed, "What the hell are you doing?"Cindy shrugged off his grip, retorting venomously, "Did you really think I'd throw my life away for your so-called love? What am I doing, you ask? I'm taking back everything that belongs to Emmeline and me, of course! "Not to mention, I'm saving my own life!"Turning to the officer, she said, "Officer, the makeshift operating room is right inside that villa."Having read the agreement, the officer sent his men to scope the villa's interior. After they verified Cindy's statement, they turned to James and Evan. "Please follow me to the precinct so we can take your statements, gentlemen."James moved forward, and upon sensing his powerful presence, the police officer holding him in place subconsciously loosened his grip."Chief Bronson!" The prosecutor who'd tagged along with the officers warned in a low voice, "Please don't make this any harder

James' eyes darkened. His gaze slid away from Carly's face, and he left the hospital room.Seated on the couch outside Carly's room, James listened to Wendell's report while going through documents. Wendell informed him, "Chief Bronson, the prosecutor couldn't find any evidence that you coerced Cindy into giving up her heart for a transplant. The case has been closed. Neither you nor Mrs. Bronson need to go into the precinct for questioning."James simply hummed in response as he opened another folder. After reading its contents and signing off on it, he reached for another. Nolan also gave his report without hesitation.Trudy, on the other hand, paced around and gave instructions to the other members of staff. She was also simultaneously keeping in contact with those outside the hospital.Meanwhile, Carly lay in the ICU, staring at James through the glass window. He looked so elegant and regal as he sat there, as if he were watching over her.Countless emotions coursed through

"It is." James gripped Beverly's hand and massaged it.Beverly was overcome with emotions. If the transplant were successful, she could keep her baby.However, she dared not get her hopes up, nor could she allow herself to feel joy at the expense of the donor's tragedy. She asked softly, "What happened to the donor?""Brain haemorrhage," James answered."Is it very serious?" Beverly pressed."Yes.""Can I see her?""You can." James caressed her palm. "But I hope you won't.""Why?" Beverly probed.James explained, "We should respect the donor's wishes. She's had to shave her head for the craniotomy, and she's lost a lot of weight. Her face is gaunt and sallow… She doesn't wish to see anyone."Beverly considered this. "Well, if I end up looking like that, I wouldn't want to see anyone, either.""You won't." James cupped her face.She grinned. "Does this mean I get to keep the baby, honey?""Yes, of course, but only if the surgery goes well." James grazed her cheek with his t

Beverly pulled away from James' embrace, stood up, and immediately pressed the call button.The doctor and nurses rushed into the room. After assessing Carly, the doctor concluded, "Chief Bronson, Mrs. Bronson, Ms. Henderson is brain-dead."As if on cue, the monitor emitted a long, flat beep.All the blood drained from Beverly's face. She stepped forward in disbelief and pried open Carly's eyelids to check her pupils. They'd begun to dilate.Her hand fell from Carly's face and hung limply at her side.James hugged Beverly from behind and dragged her away from the bed.As he watched the doctor hook Carly up to a ventilator, he murmured in Beverly's ear, "She married me just like she wanted. There's a price for that, babe, and she's paying with her heart. Be good and take the heart. Think of the baby."Beverly burrowed into his arms as her tears slid down her face uncontrollably. She nodded.James left the hospital room with Beverly tucked close to him.The night before, after J
