All Chapters of My Husband Gave The Sole Antidote To His First Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

There was silence on the other end of the phone.A moment later, I heard Gary take a deep breath.Then, he spoke in a voice that sounded like he was suppressing his emotions. He asked me slowly, “Are you sure?”I closed my eyes for a moment.I was sure.Of course, I was sure.Gary just signed the consent form authorizing my amputation.At that time, he stood beside the doctor. His white coat was stained with blood from Cindy’s wound. His handsome, composed profile remained as cold and aloof as ever.It was as if the woman about to lose a leg right in front of him was not his wife at all, but simply another patient whose case he had a professional duty to handle.I had once turned my back on my family for Gary.Five years ago, he was nothing more than an unknown resident at an affiliated hospital. I, on the other hand, was the sole heiress to Oakley Group.That year, Gary’s mother had fallen seriously ill. As a result, they racked up an enormous amount of medical debt.Witho

The operating theater doors slowly swung open. I stopped at the entrance for one final check.The doctor looked at me. He seemed hesitant to say something.“Ms. Oakley, the anesthesiologist is ready.“But…”“But what?”“Your blood test report shows that the venom has already caused severe clotting problems and kidney damage. This is a high-risk surgery, and you’ll need dialysis for an extended period afterward.“If we can’t get the infection under control, you may also need a second debridement.”I nodded calmly.“I understand.”The doctor looked surprised.“Would you like to wait a little longer for your family?”“No.”I took the pen and signed my name on the surgical consent form.The nurse pushed my bed farther inside.The operating room doors slowly closed behind me.Just before the anesthesia took effect, I vaguely heard my phone vibrating.The nurse brought it over to me.It was a message from Tommy.[The helicopter has taken off. It should be there in about for

Someone swung open the door to the ward.My brother, Tommy Oakley, wore a black trench coat. There were several lawyers and assistants behind him. His face was cold, as if it were covered in a layer of frost.He walked to my bedside and instantly looked down at my empty right side beneath the blankets.In that moment, the anger he had suppressed for so long finally surfaced in his gaze.“Diana.”His voice was soft, as though he were afraid even the slightest sound might shatter something.I smiled at him.“Tommy, you’re here.“I’m sorry.”The moment I muttered the words, Tommy’s eyes turned red.He leaned down and pulled me into his arms while carefully avoiding the tubes attached to me.“What are you apologizing to me for?“We’re the ones who failed to protect you back then. That’s how you ended up being deceived by this piece of trash.”“I chose him myself.”I rested against his chest and breathed in the familiar scent of cedar. The tension I had carried for five years

I was still figuring the whole thing out when someone abruptly swung open the door to the ward.Cindy walked in on a crutch.She wore a loose white dress. Her face was pale, and she wore a diamond bracelet that Gary had given her.“Diana.”She stood at the doorway as if she had summoned every ounce of courage to come here.“Can I talk to you?”Tommy answered coldly, “No.”Her eyes instantly reddened from tears.“Tommy, I just want to apologize to her.”“You don’t get to call me that,” Tommy said, cutting her off without hesitation. “Get out!”Cindy bit her lip as tears silently rolled down her cheeks.“I know you hate me because of what happened with the antidote, but I truly never thought things would end up like this.“Gary told me you were in great physical condition and would definitely make it until the rescue team arrived.“If I had known you would end up losing your leg, I never would have…”“Wouldn’t have what?”I stared at her.“Wouldn’t have taken the antidote

Just then, the sound of sirens was heard outside the hospital.Several police officers walked into the ward.“Cindy Pepper, you’ve been reported for allegedly and deliberately damaging emergency communication equipment, falsifying medical information, and causing intentional harm.“Please come with us.”The color drained from Cindy’s face.She turned to Gary as if he were the last person who could save her.“Gary, please help me. You said you’d protect me no matter what happened.”Gary stood there motionless.After a long silence, he said quietly, “Cindy, stop lying to me.”As the police led Cindy away, she passed by my bed.She stopped. Then, she lowered her voice to a mocking laugh.“Diana, do you seriously think getting a divorce means you’ve won? Gary still loves me more than anyone. Even if I go to prison, he’ll never forget me.”I looked at her and answered softly, “Then, I hope the two of you stay in love forever—one of you behind bars, the other trapped in regret.”
