Chapter 9 On the day of the kidney transplant surgery , Dominic arrived at the hospital early in the morning . He sat on the bench outside the operating room , his fingers unconsciously tapping his knee . The nurse came to ask for the third time : " Mr. Cross , Miss Stone still hasn't arrived ? " He glanced at his watch - it was only 7 AM . 'Wait a bit longer . She should be here soon . " rime passed minute by minute . The corridor clock pointed to noon , but the operating room doors remained closed . He suddenly stood up and rushed to the doctor's office . ' What's going on ? " 'Mia hasn't arrived yet . Shouldn't your hospital contact the patient ? What if we miss the kidney window ? " The attending physician was organizing medical records . Seeing him enter , his expression was puzzled . ' Mr. Cross , wasn't your wife's kidney transplant cancelled ? " ' Didn't you know ? " Dominic grabbed the doctor's collar . What cancellation ? " Who authorized you to cancel it ! " The doctor was startled and quickly explained : Your wife signed a waiver for the kidney several days ago . She said it was your joint decision . " I was confused at the time too . After all , you'd been searching for a kidney for three years , and we finally found a match . I tried to ersuade her , but she was adamant , so I had to ... " Impossible ! " Dominic roared : " Show me the waiver ! I need to verify it myself ! " The doctor tremblingly retrieved a document from the drawer . Dominic snatched it away . The familiar signature made his eyes burn with pain . It was indeed Mia's handwriting . But he couldn't believe it ! He threw the document on the desk , his right hand trembling uncontrollably . " I want to see the surveillance footage from that day ! " 01:20 My ' Dead ' Husband Chose His Mistress Over His Duing Mom ? 1 Made Chapter 9 The doctor quickly had a nurse pull up the security video . In it , Mia's face was pale but calm . When signing her name in the waiver section , she showed not even a moment's hesitation . She had calmly signed her own death warrant . Without even informing him . Dominic stared at the screen , his voice hoarse and trembling . " How much time did she ... have left then ? " The doctor checked Mia's medical records , his face filled with deep regret . " Based on her physical condition when she signed , your wife had about a month left . " " But I checked her treatment records at other hospitals . She recently suffered severe injuries , which was the final blow . Her bodily functions deteriorated rapidly - she probably only had three days left at most .. " Three days ? Dominic was thunderstruck . When he and Letty encountered her at the hospital , she only had three days left to live . And three days later , he had forced her onto the boat , compelling her to jump into the sea to retrieve the urn . " No ... IMPOSSIBLE ! " He staggered to his feet , disbelievingly retracing the timeline . " She'll be fine ! She will be ! " No wonder she had jumped into the sea so calmly ! No wonder she no longer cared about anything ! Dominic crouched on the ground , his head pounding as if it might explode , yet he still refused to believe it ! How could Mia bear to leave him like this ! His phone suddenly rang - an unknown number . He answered numbly , the voice on the other end serious and solemn . Is this Mr. Dominic Cross ? " This is Seattle Funeral Home . Regarding your wife's funeral arrangements and her belongings , you need to come in person to receive them . " The phone slipped from his fingers , crashing heavily to the floor . He didn't know how he got to the funeral home . Along the way , his mind was filled with images of Mia . Her smiling face when she married him in her wedding dress , her thoughtfulness when she stayed up late with him at work and made him loving breakfast , and her happiness when she curled up in his arms , fantasizing about traveling the world together after the kidney surgery . 01:20 طمييلة المعم . I Made Him Lose Both ! 11.6 Chapter 9 So many memories - so many that Dominic hadn't even realized how much they had shared . He clearly didn't love her . But at this moment , why did his heart hurt so much ? Until a staff member handed him a bracelet with their wedding rings as pendants . From the day he put it on her finger , she had never taken it off . " We received notification from Miss Stone three days ago to collect her body from the northernmost part of Coast , but the waves were too strong . According to professional assessment , the body may have been swept away by the current . " " After several days of search and recovery , we only found this necklace with the rings . Because it has both Miss Stone's and your initials , and it's a custom piece unique in the country , we were able to contact you . " Dominic clutched the necklace tightly , as if seeing her happy smile on their wedding day when he put the ring on her finger by the sea . She had hugged him and shouted to the ocean : " Dominic , marrying you is the happiest thing in my life . " " I want to be with you for life , to grow old together , forever united in heart . " Dominic's legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees. He finally understood - from the beginning , she had chosen to end her life there . His chest hurt so much he couldn't breathe . Tears fell on the bracelet , accompanied only by his helpless gasping and bitter regret . He remembered the apology conference , when he used the kidney as leverage to force her to bow to Letty . But by then , she had already signed the waiver . He thought he held her life in his hands , that he could make her obedient and compliant . Even yesterday , he still believed she would wim ashore , that she couldn't possibly give up the kidney . t turned out she no longer cared . She wanted nothing anymore , not even him . He couldn't understand ! WHY ! They had been so happy together - how could she bear to leave ? The staff member asked with concern : ' Mr. Cross , are you alright ? " But Dominic collapsed to the floor . His vision went black , and before losing consciousness , he seemed to see Mia in a white dress , standing in sunlight and smiling at him . This time , he reached out his hand , but could never catch her again . 01:20
