The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The day Alexander Morgan received the Global Humanitarian Award.

I had just been given a death sentence by my doctors – I couldn’t afford another artificial heart replacement.

On TV, the host asked Alexander to call the person he regretted losing most. Without hesitation, he dialed my number.

When I answered, I heard him ask: “Do you regret leaving me for money back then?”

Looking at the astronomical bill for my artificial heart replacement, I let out a soft laugh. “Since you’re swimming in billions now, Alexander, any chance you could spot me $200K?”

Fresh from the awards ceremony, still in his formal wear, he had rushed to the hospital. His girlfriend Emily had a slight stomach ache. I watched as he held her lovingly in his arms.

I lowered my head, attempting to quietly close the door without being noticed. Alexander yanked it open. Startled, I looked up, meeting his gaze.
