Save First Love, Give Up Son And Wife

The commotion attracted the security guard from inside.

"Miss, please calm down. There's a surgery going on inside."

Ignoring him, I repeatedly called Rick's phone.

But each time, all I heard was the busy tone till a sense of coldness washed over me, and I slumped to the ground.

"How dare he? That's Alex's life-saving spot," I murmured through tears, feeling helpless and defeated.

Since Alex fell ill, I had never let my guard down and was always on edge.

I even pleaded with Rick, with a hint of desperation, to give me another child. I wanted umbilical cord blood. I was willing to try any method to get it.

All my efforts seemed to crumble at that moment.

The operating room door slowly creaked open, and Rick, in surgical attire, emerged.

"The surgery was successful," Rick announced.

As he saw me in disarray on the ground, Rick's face clouded with displeasure.

"Why are you here instead of looking after Alex?"

"Lisa might have known about Mia's surgery and felt uneasy, so she came. It's fine. I understand her distress," Jenny interjected, covering her face with a sympathetic look.

At the sight of Jenny's face, Rick's expression turned stony, his brows furrowed.

"Did she hit you?" Rick asked, removing Jenny's hand covering her face.

Jenny quickly held onto his hand, looking pitiful.

"Rick, I'm fine. As long as it calms Lisa down, I don't mind," Jenny assured, wearing a facade of understanding.

Faced with Jenny's hypocritical display, I erupted in a loud yell.

"Then why don't you just die? Why don't you just die?"

Rick shielded Jenny behind him immediately.

"Lisa, what's gotten into you? This is a hospital. Why are you behaving so maliciously and irrationally?"

Pointing towards the operating room, I questioned loudly, "Irrational? Why did you give the life-saving spot to her when it's meant for my son?

"If you want to be with Jenny, just say it. I'll give her Mrs. Jones' position. Why use my son's life-saving spot to win her over?"

Frowning, Rick stared at me and said impatiently, "You should know Mia needs this spot more urgently than Alex. Mia can't wait any longer.

"Lisa, you're already pregnant. Alex can wait a bit longer for the cord blood that can save him. Why are you losing your mind here?"

Rick's words pierced through me like an invisible knife, causing my heart to bleed as I touched my slightly bulging belly.

"Rick, do you only consider Jenny's child to be worth saving? Does my child not matter to you?" I asked with a cold stare at the man I had loved throughout my youth.

Rick's eyes still showed disdain and impatience.

"Lisa, are you the doctor or am I? I've already told you, Mia's condition has worsened and can't wait any longer. Alex's overall health is stronger than Mia's, he can wait a bit longer."

Before I could retort, a nurse rushed towards us from a distance, shouting at Rick.

"Dr. Jones, it's not good. Alex suddenly developed a high fever, his heart rate is dropping rapidly, he's showing signs of shock."

Hearing that, I felt the world spinning around me, and I collapsed against the wall.
