All Chapters of Ruin Me, Ruin Himself: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Walnut shards dug into my flesh, and sharp pain shot through all ten of my fingers. Galen Shaw's eyes were cold as he clamped my chin, forcing me to look up. "Sabrina, you belong to me! If you dare reach out to him again, don't blame me for what happens! And from now on, you're not allowed to set foot in a hospital!"The moment I heard that, my mind, which was hazy from shock, snapped back to reality. "No!"Galen's face darkened, and his grip nearly crushed my bones. Celine Baker watched with glee, though her voice carried fake concern. "Sabrina, you're way out of line. You just ruined a perfect wedding. The ceremony isn't even over, and look at you already making a scene. How shameful for Galen."Her words almost made me laugh through the pain. My fingers were broken, and I was being publicly humiliated. Yet, somehow, I was the one being accused of causing trouble. She made it seem like I had ruined everything on purpose because I wanted to escape this marriage.Galen pulled a

Five years of clinical experience had forged these hands that could hold a scalpel for 27 hours without trembling. Only such hands could perform the craniotomy to remove the hematoma pressing against Galen's cranial nerves.Cold sweat ran down my forehead as I glared at Albert. "Galen's condition can only be treated by me. Take me to the hospital now, and I'll forget everything you've done!"Albert smirked. "Celine told me you only went to medical school to seduce some guy! You don't deserve to hold a scalpel."Then he barked at the bodyguards, "Destroy her hands! Let's see how much more arrogance she can show!"Before I could protest, the sticks rained down on my fingers like hail. The pain drilled into my bones, and I nearly fainted. By the time they stopped, my hands were mangled beyond recognition. White bones jutted through torn flesh, and I crawled desperately toward the door.Jacob Butterfield, my senior, who was a genius in orthopedics, could save my hands if I reached a

Celine turned pale with fright. She even forgot to call an ambulance as she continued berating me.Just as she was about to strike, the front door burst open. Nearly frozen solid, I was finally swept into a warm embrace. Jacob looked at me, battered and bruised, and a flicker of pain crossed his eyes. "I'm sorry I'm late."The ambulance rushed both me and Galen to the hospital. Under the doctors' careful treatment, my fingers were painstakingly reattached. Looking at my hands that were wrapped tightly like little bundles, Jacob's voice became cold. "Your bones are reconnected, but… you probably won't be able to hold a scalpel again."I felt a pang of sorrow, but I had prepared myself mentally. After years in surgery, I knew exactly how severe my injuries were. I paused and spoke like I was talking to myself. "If I can't operate, I can still save lives in other ways."I had studied medicine for years. Even if I couldn't perform surgery, I could still use my knowledge to help p

Celine dabbed at her tears again. Her voice trembled. "You've already ruined Galen's life, and now you're cursing my son too! "That night, he saw his dad collapse in front of him. He was terrified, and he's been having a slight fever for the past two days."My heart skipped a beat. A high fever was often an early sign of disease onset. The boy was only two. He was too young, too fragile. I warned her as gently as I could. "You should take him to the hospital immediately for a full checkup. Early intervention might make a difference…"Before I could finish, Galen cut me off with a cold laugh. "Are you talking about the hereditary disease again? Sabrina, how long are you planning to keep up this act?"Are you not satisfied with tormenting me? Do you have to meddle with my son too?"His gaze was filled with contempt. "I can't believe I never realized what a cruel woman you are!"When I mentioned her grandson, Jenny nearly lost her mind. She started screaming and threatening to ca

Warmth spread through me. Even though Jacob rarely spoke, he had quietly helped me countless times since I began studying medicine. I felt lucky to have a mentor like him. Just as I was thinking of how to repay him, the door suddenly burst open."So you're still going to pretend nothing's happening between you two? You were almost holding hands! While I've been abroad, you've been enjoying your little world, huh?" Galen stormed in. His pale, gaunt face was twisted with resentment.I flinched at his appearance. Less than a month had passed since his illness first manifested, yet he looked like a completely different person – emaciated, clothes hanging loosely, and deep shadows carved under his eyes. It seemed that even abroad, he hadn't found a cure.Before he could hurl more insults, Jenny stepped forward to block him. Reluctantly, she bowed her head and spoke in a soft, pleading tone. "Sabrina, only you can save him now. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Y
