Chapter 65
In my past life, I trusted him too much.
Our son, Cody, was hospitalized with kidney inflammation at the best hospital in the city.
What I didn’t know was that the doctor Lucas found for him, Nancy, was his first lover from years ago.
Kidney inflammation wasn’t usually fatal.
But the night I left the hospital, Cody’s condition suddenly worsened, and he ended up in the ER.
By the time I rushed back to the hospital, Nancy announced that Cody’s o***ns had failed.
Before I could even process the shock, Lucas was already dragging me to sign the o***n donation forms.
“Cody was always so kind,” Lucas said. “Now his life can save others. I know he’d want that.”
I was crying so hard, I could barely breathe.
Half forcing, half coaxing, Lucas made me sign my name on that agreement.
What I didn’t know was that as soon as they took Cody off life support,his heart was rushed to Nancy’s daughter, who had been born with a heart defect.
For months, I couldn’t recover from the pain of losing my son.
Meanwhile, Lucas quickly got back to his normal life.
One day, by chance, I spotted Lucas at an amusement park in a neighboring city.
A little girl I didn’t recognize was sitting on his shoulders, and Nancy was cozied up next to him, arm in arm.
I followed them, demanding answers, but they pushed me off a building instead.
As I lay in a pool of blood, I clutched Cody’s hair locket.
I had wanted to die so many times before. At that moment, staring at their smug
faces.
pure hatred burned away my weakness.
Being reborn in this moment was a blessing from above.
It was time to avenge my son!
I wished I could slap Lucas right then and there.
“I’m transferring Cody to another hospital for a second opinion! There’s no way I’m signing that paper!”
Seeing the anger in my eyes, Lucas frowned.
“Lola, stop making a scene.”
“I stayed here all night while you went home. I saw the whole resuscitation process.”
“I know you’re in pain, but this is the reality. Can’t you control your emotions for a minute?” cold laugh.
“Control my emotions? You want a mother, standing over her dying child, to keep her emotions in check?”
“I went home last night because your mother claimed she was having heart problems and needed me to take care of her!”
Lucas’s face darkened.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Don’t blame my mom or me. It’s just bad luck for Cody.”
“And what’s with this sudden change of heart? You agreed to sign the papers earlier. Don’t you think you’re being irrational?”
Seeing how indifferent he was, I didn’t even want to argue anymore.
The only thing that mattered now was transferring Cody and getting a proper diagnosis and treatment.
The Lucas I saw in front of me wasn’t the same man who used to splash around barefoot in the tiny apartment with our son.
I pushed the office door open hard and headed straight back to the ICU.
As I dialed a familiar number on my phone, my hand shook slightly.
Lucas and I had been married for seven years. For all that time, I’d been cut off from my family.
My parents and brother had begged me not to marry him, but I had stubbornly turned my back on my wealthy family to struggle alongside Lucas in a different city.
Now, the only people who could help me were the ones who had never abandoned me.
When my dad picked up, I could barely get the words out through my sobs.
“Dad, please… save my son. He needs to be transferred to the best hospital in the state…”
My parents didn’t hold a grudge. They immediately contacted the top medical team in the state.
After hanging up, I glanced at the clock on the wall.
