Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 186

ATHENA

I make the incision.

It's clean and deep enough to expose the heart's edge, but not enough to cause trauma.

The nurses around me monitor the vitals, their faces masked but tense. No one dares to breathe louder than me.

I carefully expose the heart that's still beating. Barely, but still holding on.

The regeneration serum is ready. My parents had been testing and perfecting it because of certain unstable reactions and near-fatal consequences. It wasn't safe for regular people. But Alex isn't regular.

He's never been.

"Dose?" I ask.

"0.8 ml, as calculated based on his weight and cardiac rhythm.”

I take the needle and steady my breath as I insert it directly into the myocardium.

A split second of silence follows.

My heart pounds louder and louder, and we wait for a reaction.

Beep.

Веер. Веер.

The beat quickens.

I exhale in relief.

"Looks good. Let's-" Before I can get the words out of my mouth,

His heart rate spikes violently, pounding too fast and too hard. His blood pressure drops like an elevator cut from its cables.

"Code red! BP is falling! He's seizing!"

"No, no, no!" I tighten my grip on the syringe and step back as his chest rises unnaturally.

He begins to jerk.

I grab the paddles.
