The Surgeon Who Killed Her Mother의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 8

Mike Reed stood right beside Ivy Traynor now, the two of them so close and intimate they looked more like a perfectly matched couple.Ivy pressed her lips together and avoided my gaze, her voice hoarse."Three years ago, during a free medical clinic, there was a landslide. It was Mike and his mother who risked their lives to dig me out. They never asked for anything in return… Now that his mother is sick, I can't just stand by and do nothing."She paused for a while, then added casually, "Your mother is already old anyway. She wouldn't have lived much longer. It's better to let her make her final contribution."I looked at her in utter disbelief.The woman I had shared a bed with for five years now felt completely like a stranger—cold, alien, unrecognizable.A doctor… actually said something so heartless.Since my mother-in-law's accident, Ivy hadn't even come to see her mother once. And yet, she had cut out her mother's heart and given it to Mike's mother.All this time, I tho

Ivy stepped in front of me and took the hits.For just a second, a flicker of disgust flashed across her eyes—but her face quickly settled back into that same loving, devoted mask."I know everyone's furious, and I'm not going to make excuses for my husband," she said calmly. "But I hope you can give him one more chance to make things right. Tomorrow, in the town square, we're holding a public apology."She dragged me back home.I pulled my arm free, my voice like ice. "A public apology? What the hell are you talking about?"Ivy didn't get mad. She just smiled faintly."All of this happened because of you. You're the one who wronged Mike. Tomorrow's apology event—I set it up for you. I've already talked it over with Mike. As long as you apologize, this whole thing is over."I stared at her face and felt nothing but disgust.She was the one who threw me into this nightmare—and now she wanted me to stand up there and beg for forgiveness?"I'm not apologizing," I said coldly.Iv

After digging Ivy out, I was completely drained. I could barely stand. I had no choice but to beg Mike and his mother—who just happened to be passing by—to take us to the hospital.They even squeezed a huge amount of money out of me.After I transferred it, I finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.I never expected Mike and his mother would have the nerve to falsely claim credit for saving her life.And it was exactly that ridiculous "life-saving favor" that led to my mother-in-law's death.I glanced at Ivy lying on the ground."You're the one who killed your mother."With that, I turned and left with my mother.…After we got home, both my parents insisted on taking me to the hospital for a full check-up.I couldn't say no, so I went along.The doctor said nothing was seriously wrong—just emotional distress and acute stress reactions from everything that had happened—and recommended a few days of hospitalization for observation.In the hospital room, my father

"Even if Thomas doesn't divorce you today, we as his parents will make sure it happens."My mother took my hand and turned to leave.Behind us, Ivy tried to chase after me, but Mike grabbed her tightly by the legs."Ivy, you have to believe me. You really have to believe me. You're all I have left.""Mike, when you found out the person on the operating table was my mother… did you feel any regret?""I… I…" His voice trembled. "Ivy, I only have my mother. I couldn't just sit back and let her die."I followed my mother home and pushed everything else out of my mind.For days after that, my parents stayed with me at home.They took turns cooking for me, insisting on fattening me back up.In that quiet life, everything about Ivy's drama felt like it belonged to another world—irrelevant, distant, slipping further and further away from me.I thought that was how it would stay.But one day, when my mother asked me to go buy soy sauce, I ran into Ivy at the front door.She stood th
