Shipwrecked: She Let Grandpa Die for Him のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Bryce's POVThe boat trip had been Lauren's birthday gift to me.I'd told her not to go to so much trouble, especially since she was already busy with her work at the hospital.But she'd looked me straight in the eyes and said sincerely, "Frank's heart has never been in good shape. While he's still able to get around, I want to take him to see every natural wonder on earth. Just the other day, he said he wanted to see what the northern lights looked like over the ocean."I'd been so excited for my birthday, never imagining it would be the day I lost Grandpa.I collapsed to my knees, biting down hard on my lip to keep myself from crying out.On the deck, Lauren draped her jacket over Desmond's shoulders and stood beside him, watching the northern lights flicker faintly across the night sky above the ocean.Unfortunately, Grandpa would never get to see them.As Desmond leaned over the railing to retrieve some floating supplies, an unknown fish suddenly bit his forearm. Blood imme

Bryce's POVBefore I could process what he meant, Desmond grinned wickedly and grabbed the wheel, turning it hard. The boat lurched sideways and slammed into the reef.With a deafening crash, the battered boat broke apart.Flying pieces of wood slashed across my thigh, and the saltwater stung the cuts, sending sharp pain through my body.Ignoring my injuries, I frantically searched through the wreckage for Grandpa's body, but the waves churned relentlessly around me, and a thick mist had risen over the ocean. I couldn't see a thing."Grandpa…" I cried out helplessly.Tears mixed with the salty seawater, blurring my vision and stinging my eyes so badly I could barely keep them open.Grandpa was already gone, but I couldn't let his body sink to the bottom of the ocean and disappear without a trace.As I thrashed through the water, I spotted Lauren swimming toward me, shouting above the roar of the waves, "Bryce, where did Frank fall in? Which direction did he go?"I struggled to

Third-Person POVLauren had often told patients' families the same thing at the hospital, and over time, the words had become routine. But hearing them from the rescue workers now brought fresh tears to her eyes."What do you mean, you did everything you could? You haven't even found him yet! How can you give up now?"She shoved past them and plunged into the ocean, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Bryce! Where are you? Stop playing hide-and-seek with me! This isn't funny! Come out already!"Lauren dove underwater again and again, desperately hoping to find Bryce in the freezing water. But the vast ocean remained eerily silent.The people aboard the boat tried to reason with her."Dr. Raleigh, you need to face reality. You have to take care of yourself. You should also prepare for the possibility that your husband may have sunk to the bottom of the ocean…"Lauren slapped the water furiously as she cut them off, "No! Bryce can swim! There's no way he drowned! No… That's imposs

Bryce's POVAfter swimming to shore, I ended up on a small island.An elderly woman named Jane Guthry took me in, saying I reminded her of her grandson, who had just passed away.Her words made me think of Grandpa, and the pain in my chest became unbearable. I finally broke down and sobbed my heart out.I had never imagined Lauren could be so heartless. She had actually snatched away Grandpa's life-saving medicine just to help her childhood friend, who was faking heart palpitations.Grandpa used to tell me that marrying Lauren was the best thing that had ever happened to me. But if that meant losing him, I would rather have never entered this sham of a marriage.The day we were stranded on the boat, I had considered jumping into the sea and leaving Lauren forever. Yet I couldn't bring myself to abandon Grandpa's body and let him sink to the ocean floor.I just hadn't anticipated that Desmond's sheer malice would rob me of my last chance to bring Grandpa home.Life on the island

Bryce's POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the hospital where Lauren worked.Both Lauren and Mary were waiting in my hospital room for me to wake up."Bryce!"Lauren rushed over as soon as she saw me open my eyes, but Mary stepped in front of me and shoved her aside. She leaned toward me with a smile and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?"I shook my head. "Much better. I just got seasick."Annoyed at being ignored, Lauren stepped between us. "Who are you? Bryce is my husband. You—""I'm not your husband anymore," I cut her off coldly. "Stop calling me that."Lauren turned back to me and said softly, "How can you say that? Bryce, you are my husband."Before she could say more, Mary impatiently pulled her away. "He doesn't love you anymore. Stop clinging to him!"Lauren grabbed Mary by the arm in anger and shoved her to the floor. "Whether my husband loves me or not is none of your business!"I climbed out of bed to check whether Mary w
