My Wife Was Camping While Her Brother Died のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I had just arrived at the office when I received a call from one of my wife's colleagues."Mr. Brooks, we haven't been able to reach Dr. Lawson at all," he said urgently. "Her younger brother has suffered a sudden heart attack and needs immediate cardiac surgery. Can you get in touch with her?"The moment I heard something had happened to my brother-in-law, I forgot all about work and rushed straight to the hospital. On the way, I kept calling my wife again and again, but she never answered.By the time I arrived, I heard Dr. Derek Parker sigh and shake his head."This surgery can only be performed by Dr. Lawson," he said. "Hurry and get her back here."My brother-in-law was born with a heart condition. My wife had chosen to study medicine for his sake. As a chief cardiac surgeon, she had spent years researching and refining surgical techniques for complex heart operations.Seeing how critical his condition was, I tried once more to reach her.After dozens of calls, the line fin

"Ryan!"Ryan's fiancée had already collapsed in grief. She fainted from crying and was helped away by the nurses.Dr. Parker and several nurses came in to comfort me, offering their condolences.I sat alone in the ward, helpless and broken, completely submerged in sorrow.Just yesterday, Ryan had been telling me how nervous he was about the engagement party. We had even made plans to take the whole family on a trip this weekend.I couldn't bring myself to accept that he was gone.It was only after a long while, when a nurse called my name, that I forced myself to pull together what little strength I had left.I had meant to call Rebecca to discuss Ryan's funeral arrangements. But instead, I saw a post Chase had made on social media half an hour earlier.In the photo, the two of them were leaning close together, admiring the scenery. They looked intimate and carefree.At that moment, my heart turned completely cold toward Rebecca.I stood there numbly, watching as the nurses w

Rebecca froze for a moment, then slowly stopped what she was doing.Frowning, she asked, "Dr. Parker, what do you mean by that?"Dr. Parker shook his head again and again, sighing heavily. "You know your brother's condition. When he suddenly suffered a heart attack, only you could perform that surgery. Yesterday, we couldn't reach you no matter what. He missed the best window for surgery… and passed away."Rebecca immediately denied it, staring at him with a stern expression. "That's impossible! Ryan was perfectly fine yesterday morning. Dr. Parker, don't join them in this ridiculous act. Today, we're still celebrating Ryan's engagement. I even brought candies for everyone."Noticing a crowd of colleagues gathered at the door, she reached into her bag and took out the candies, handing them out.Everyone exchanged awkward looks, unsure whether to accept them. After all, everyone present had witnessed Ryan's death the day before.Only then did Rebecca sense that something was wrong

Rebecca, who had been half-kneeling and holding the body, suddenly sprang up and charged at me.Caught completely off guard, I was slammed into the row of metal drawers beside the corpse.She grabbed my collar with both hands and clawed at my face, leaving several deep scratches."Noah, did you do this on purpose? Did you kill my brother?"As if she had finally found an excuse to absolve herself, her eyes burned with fury."So you deliberately dragged things out and made me misunderstand! And now you're in such a hurry to have him cremated!"Her self-deception made me laugh in anger. I no longer tried to restrain myself and screamed back at her."What misunderstanding did I make you have? Didn't I tell you? Didn't I beg you?"You're the one who made excuses for yourself. You cut off Ryan's way to live with your own hands! He could have survived—because of you! You insisted on going camping with Chase instead of coming back to operate on Ryan!"I grabbed her collar in return an

Ryan's heart attack was triggered by a confrontation with hotel staff.On the morning of the incident, he had gone to check how the engagement party venue was being prepared. Before leaving, he overheard several party staff chatting about Rebecca and Chase.They joked that this was the wedding venue for the future boss's brother-in-law and that they should be extra attentive.Hearing his sister being mocked, Ryan went over to argue with them.That was when he unexpectedly learned about the relationship between Chase and Rebecca.Rebecca had appeared at the hotel many times, and everyone there assumed she was the boss's girlfriend.Ryan urgently denied it. In the midst of the argument, he suddenly suffered a heart attack.The recording showed that after the staff discovered Ryan had collapsed, they immediately called their supervisor to ask how to handle it. The instruction they received was to distance the hotel from the incident and disguise it as Ryan's own heart attack.The
