Everyone knew that Lucas Ryan only married me out of spite because he couldn't have the one he truly loved.
For five years of marriage, he was the perfect husband in public—a renowned cardiologist adored by many. But behind closed doors, he was cold, distant, and had asked for a divorce more times than I could count.
Then his first love, Evelyn Snow, returned to the country due to illness. Lucas devoted himself to her care, never leaving her side. He even warned me repeatedly: "Eve's heart condition is delicate. If you dare show up and stress her out, we're done for good."
Finally, during his hundredth demand for a divorce, I agreed.
What Lucas didn't know, however, was that I was already carrying his child.
On the way to the courthouse to finalize the divorce, I was in a car accident. Both my life and my unborn child were lost in an instant.
Lucas didn't get the divorce papers that day, but he did get the news that Evelyn had found a perfect heart donor match.
Excited, he rushed back to the hospital and performed the surgery himself, taking the heart from my lifeless body and placing it into hers.
It wasn't until later that he remembered our divorce—but by then, my phone would never ring again.

My Husband Gave My Heart to His First Love

And so, the days passed, and Lucas Ryan returned to work at the hospital.


Everything seemed to go back to normal—except for the fact that I was really, truly dead.


I often sat in the hospital's small garden, lost in thought, unable to understand why I couldn't leave Lucas Ryan's side.


Before I knew it, it was the day Evelyn Snow was discharged.


As her attending physician, Lucas was called up to the sixteenth floor to perform her final checkup.


I followed him into the room and was greeted by the sight of Evelyn, dressed to the nines. Without her hospital gown, she looked as though she had never been sick a day in her life.


"You're here?" she said casually, glancing at Lucas with a bright smile. "Finally, I get to leave this place."


"I won't have to worry about anything going wrong with me again," she added, running a hand over her chest as she laughed lightly.


Lucas didn't respond. He silently walked over and began the usual procedures for her discharge examination.
