The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1010:

When Corey’s thoughts turned to Alicia for a heart transplant, it wasn’t just Caden’s wrath that gave him pause. Deep down, Corey couldn’t bear the thought of Alicia dying. That hesitation was why he had delayed until now, clinging to hope until there were no more options. Now, standing in front of Alicia, he decided with a heavy heart to choose Gemma over her.

Corey waited patiently, his gaze steady as the anesthetic began to take effect. His extensive knowledge of the human body was not just a skill – it was a necessity, honed for Gemma’s sake. Heart extraction was his specialty, disturbingly precise and practiced.
