Chapter 31

Isabella stood and waved toward the approaching ambulance as soon as she finished speaking.Within moments, it stopped, and the medical staff rushed out carrying a stretcher.Dominic clutched his chest and moved to step forward, but Isabella shouted, "Over here! The injured person is here! Hurry!""Wasn't it supposed to be a car accident?" one of the medics murmured, frowning at the sight of Alexander lying on the ground. Still, her hands moved fast. In seconds, they had lifted Alexander onto the stretcher.Just then, a passerby stepped forward. "Hey, this man was in the accident too! Maybe check him as well."He pointed at Dominic. Isabella's pupils contracted, and she turned sharply toward him. After scanning Dominic from head to toe, she gave a cold laugh. "You must be joking. Him? As if he'd be hurt. Don't listen to him."The passerby hesitated. "But I saw him—""Can you please move aside?" Isabella snapped.The man shook his head helplessly. He had seen it clearly—the impa

Chapter 32

Dominic picked up the phone and saw Isabella's name flash across the screen. His eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he hung up. Less than two seconds later, the phone rang again.He answered, and Isabella's furious voice came through the receiver. "Dom, I just talked to Alex! You only lost your balance and got brushed by the car, yet you took it out on him and beat him so badly!" "He pushed me," Dominic said coolly. "I almost died because of him."Silence stretched on the other end.Then Isabella spoke again, her tone heavy with disappointment. "This joke of yours isn't funny. You're perfectly fine, while Alex is covered in bruises. Saying something like that just means you're avoiding responsibility."A trace of resignation flickered in his eyes. 'Covered in bruises? They are just a few scratches.'Dominic could see now that Isabella believed her sworn brother over her husband. "What? Nothing to say?" Isabella sneered. "Fine. I won't waste my breath. Where are you? Com

Chapter 33

'Apologize? Me, apologize to that piece of trash? Impossible.'Dominic shook his head, his expression steady. "I will not apologize. If he's upset, he can call the police."Isabella's fury erupted upon hearing that. She jabbed a finger at him and shouted, "You're shameless! You beat someone up and still refuse to apologize. Are you trying to drive me mad?"You're completely hopeless! How could Lily have a father like you? I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to apologize or not?"Her voice trembled with anger and heartbreak. Inside, she was drowning in disappointment, unable to understand when her husband had become this kind of man.Dominic narrowed his eyes, and his tone turned cold. "There's no need to drag Lily into our problems.""Bella, let's just drop it." Alexander's quiet voice broke the tension. "I believe Dom didn't mean it. Maybe I provoked him by accident. Next time, I'll apologize first so he won't hit me again."His words were gentle, his tone full of self-bl

Chapter 34

The nurse called the doctor over, and they saw Dominic collapse weakly to the floor. Blood trickled from his mouth and nose.The doctor's expression changed at once. After a quick examination, he shouted, "Prepare the operating room! Emergency surgery—now!"The nurse froze."Is it that serious?" she whispered.The doctor shot her a glare. "The patient's internal organs are bleeding heavily! Why wasn't a full examination done when he fainted earlier?"Her face went pale. "I thought it was just heatstroke... I didn't think much of it."He clenched his jaw in anger, but there was no time to scold her. He ordered the staff to lift Dominic onto a stretcher and rushed him into the operating room.Soon, several doctors and nurses surrounded the table and began surgery together....No one knew how much time had passed. When Dominic regained consciousness, he was stunned."Am I... dead?" He stared blankly at his body lying on the operating table and at the busy doctors working over h

Chapter 35

"Ah!" Isabella gasped as the fruit knife slipped and sliced her finger. Blood welled up instantly, bright and vivid against her skin."Bella!" Alexander's voice was sharp with concern. He caught her hand, his face tightening with distress, and instinctively lifted her finger toward his mouth.Isabella's eyes widened in alarm. She snatched her hand back before he could touch her.Alexander froze, momentarily embarrassed by his own impulse.Unbothered by his reaction, Isabella rose quickly. "I'll go bandage it."A few minutes later, she returned with her finger wrapped neatly in gauze.Alexander cleared his throat to mask his awkwardness. His tone softened with concern. "Are you alright, Bella?"Isabella smiled, her heart warming at his care. "Thank you, Alex.""That's good." Alexander's expression turned serious. "About your husband… I can understand him. He just misunderstood. I'll forgive him this time. I won't call the police."Standing nearby, Dominic let out a cold laugh.

Chapter 36

Isabella seemed lost in thought for a brief moment. Just as Alexander's arms were about to close around her, she came to her senses and raised her hand to stop him.Frowning, she blocked him. "What are you doing, Alex?""Bella! I... I just couldn't hold it in anymore," Alexander stammered, staring at her flawless face, his emotions overtaking him.He blurted, "Actually, I like you... Bella, can I—""Stop it! Do you even know what you're saying?" Isabella's eyes widened in shock. "I see you as a sibling! How could you say something like that?"Her words shattered what little restraint Alexander had left."Bella, we're not real siblings!" he cried. "Don't you have feelings for me too?"Isabella's expression hardened. "Enough! Alex, we're sworn siblings, and that's all we'll ever be. Do you understand? I don't want to hear this again. I will never betray Dom!"Her response was nothing like what Alexander had expected. He had assumed that after she'd agreed to pose as his girlfrien

Chapter 37

Isabella admitted she had made a mistake, but she didn't think it was serious. She hadn't cheated or done anything that truly betrayed her husband. Once they talked it through, she believed they could return to the way they had been before.Soon, Katherine answered the call. "Hello, Bella.""Kathy, did Dominic pick up Lily yet?" Isabella asked anxiously."Lily's still with me. He isn't with you?"Isabella froze. "N-No… He didn't come home?""No."The certainty in Katherine's voice made Isabella's heart sink. If her husband hadn't gone home, then where could he be?She stood up anxiously.Alexander's heart skipped a beat, and he called out, "Where are you going, Bella?""To find Dominic.""I'll go with you!" Panic flashed in Alexander's eyes as he grabbed his crutch and hurried after her.Dominic followed behind them quietly. He wanted to see what expression Isabella would have when she saw his body.Her face was grim as she walked straight toward his ward without saying a w

"Alright. Since you're here and his family member, go claim it." The nurse spoke coldly, then turned away.Isabella's whole body trembled, her eyes wide with fear. She grabbed the nurse's arm and stammered, "C-Claim what? Don't go! I'm not going!"Her thoughts were in chaos, her words barely coherent.Without looking back, the nurse replied flatly, "Claim the body."Those three words struck Isabella like thunder on a clear day. She shook violently, disbelief clouding her face. "No, I don't believe you. You must be lying. My husband isn't dead! He's healthy! How could he be dead?"A flicker of satisfaction passed through Alexander's eyes. He coughed lightly and reached out to place a hand on her shoulder. "Bella, actually—"The instant his fingers brushed her, Isabella recoiled as if shocked by electricity and let out a piercing scream. "Don't touch me!"Alexander flinched and hurried to say, "I'm sorry, Bella! This must be a mistake. Dominic was fine this afternoon… How could so

Chapter 39

Things had come to this point, and Dominic's only concern now was Lilith. He hoped that after his death Isabella would take good care of their daughter.Victor stepped forward to offer comfort. "Please accept our condolences." Isabella, her mind blank, sprang up, pointed at Victor, and shouted, "You incompetent doctor! My husband came here earlier. Why did you let him die? I will bury you with him!"Victor's face darkened. He shot the nurse a sharp look and opened his mouth to explain.The nurse refused to be cowed. She rushed forward two steps and spat through clenched teeth, "You expect us to have let him die without trying to save him? The ambulance went out because of a car accident, and they brought back a patient with only external injuries."Do you expect us to be clairvoyant because he was in a traffic accident? It was you who came from the scene and only cared about that other patient."If you had told the hospital your husband had been in a car accident, we would not h

Chapter 40

Alexander covered his cheek, completely stunned and a little frightened. For months, he had known Isabella's reputation in the company—cold, ruthless, and untouchable. Yet her demeanor toward him had always been gentle.Now, the woman standing before him shattered that image. Her icy composure sent a chill straight through him.Isabella ignored him. She turned, lifted the surgical drape, and brushed her fingers over Dominic's pale face.Her voice softened to a whisper. "Don't worry, my love. Everyone who hurt you will pay for it. Including… me."Dominic stood beside her, frowning slightly at her words. He wanted to tell her that it was pointless, that nothing she did now would change anything, that she should focus on Lilith instead. But he could no longer reach her—not in this world.Isabella pulled a chair close and sat beside him. Her eyes were dark with grief. She leaned forward, pressing her ear to his chest, but heard no heartbeat. Silent tears slid down her pale cheeks.Al
