All Chapters of He Saved Me to Steal My Marrow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ashley's POV"But Zack, do you think that Ashley will end up hating me if she finds out that you deliberately set the fire that killed her child? " asked my sister, Avril Holden.She looked up at my husband, Zack Burton."You know how much she's suffered since she was a kid. Our whole family has been trying our best to make it up to her, and I've always wanted us to mend my relationship with her."If I weren't dying, I wouldn't ever have wanted to take her bone marrow for my treatment."She leaned against his chest, her head bowed. A coy smile curled her lips."You're so kind-hearted, Avril. You're still thinking of others even in your condition," Zack said. "But if it weren't for Ashley, you wouldn't even be sick in the first place. She brought all of this on herself!"Besides, she'll never find out. The doctors are all completely loyal to me. Once your surgery is over, no one will ever know what happened."I love you, Avril."With that, Zack planted a tender, affectionate ki

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Avril appeared before me, full of life and energy.Zack didn't even bother to hide the joy on his face and explained, "The hospital developed a new, highly effective treatment for leukemia. Avril is completely cured now."I sneered inwardly but said nothing in response.While Zack was away handling the discharge paperwork, Avril took the opportunity to provoke me. She tossed her phone into my hands. When I looked at the screen, I saw hundreds of TikTok-style videos of a couple showing off their intimate relationship. The man in the videos was someone I knew very well.It was none other than Zack, my husband.The account had over a hundred thousand followers, and the comments beneath each video were filled with fans gushing over them."What a perfect match! I'm totally shipping this couple.""I really hope my favorite internet couple stays together forever!""You've made me believe in love again."Besides that, there were thousan

Avril sobbed, "I'm sorry… I ruined this wedding. It's all my fault for wearing the wedding dress that was meant for Ashley… Seeing me in it must have upset her, which is why she—"Zack flew into a rage and turned to roar at me. "Avril only agreed to stand in for you at the wedding because she cared about you! She wanted to make amends and put the past behind you. And instead of being grateful, you actually tried to kill your own sister?"When did you become so vicious, Ashley Holden? Or were you always this malicious to begin with?" he hollered at me.Avril whined, "No, Zackie, please don't blame Ashley… I know she didn't mean it. I just lost my footing…"The crowd erupted instantly with everyone hurling curses at me. Even Mom and Dad rushed over and slapped me across the face."You good-for-nothing wretch! You just can't stand to see Avril doing well! If we'd known you'd turn out this wicked, we never should have given birth to you! We should have strangled you the moment you wer

At that moment, Zack was as furious as a beast, wanting nothing more than to tear Avril apart. He seized her by the throat, staring at her with an icy, piercing gaze. He roared through gritted teeth, "Even now, you're still trying to deceive me!"A murmur rippled through the guests."Good heavens, who would have expected such a twist? Has Avril been this vicious since she was a child? How could she have done such a thing to her own sister?""Poor Ashley. She was sold off by her parents when she was young, and now they're exploiting her again—that whole family is nothing but trash.""Zack is a ruthless jerk as well. He hurt his own wife for the sake of another woman! Tsk.""Anyone caught in a situation like this would be absolutely shattered!"As the crowd's murmurs grew, Zack's expression darkened further.Even Ashley's biological parents who loathed her to the bone, Calvin Holden and Patricia Cox, stared incredulously at Avril. They were completely stunned and at a loss for w

Nathan kept glancing toward the door every now and then. After hesitating for a long moment, he finally asked, "That man has been hanging around here for days, just watching you from outside. Do you know him?"I followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure standing outside.It was Zack.His eyes were rimmed red, and he looked at me with profound heartache. But I had no energy to deal with him now, and I certainly didn't want to look at him for even a second longer."I don't," I said indifferently.With that, I had Nathan shut the door on him.However, Zack refused to give up and continued to keep watch every single day. He took over the nurse's duties, bringing my meals in and offering to wipe me down. He kept a solicitous eye on my wounds, and the moment I frowned, he would panic and call for a nurse.He brought me my favorite flowers and carefully cut apples into bite-size pieces for me. He even cooked me some stew and other nutritious meals himself.Still, I ignored it all.
