Chapter 9

The doctor told me before the heart transplant that even if the surgery was successful, without finding a suitable replacement heart, this heart full of shrapnel wouldn't last more than a few years.

Fortunately, the surgery was a success. After waking up, I chose to leave. After all, I was the one who didn't choose to save our son. I was the one who caused his death. How could I have the face to live on? How could I continue to be his wife?

It's just a few years. It'll pass quickly.

After learning the truth, Damien immediately called off the wedding and began searching for me all over the world.

Perhaps weathered by his travels, Damien's once handsome face now bore the marks of time and hardship, gaunt and sallow.

"Faye, I was such a fool. I had heard the truth many times, but I didn't believe it..."

"Faye, can you forgive me? Let me take you for treatment, please? Trust me, I'll definitely cure your illness!"

"I'll search the whole world to find you a suitable heart!"
