"Wouldn't it be perfect if he lost the ability to have children?" Vivian said coolly and indifferently. "The death of our daughter proves Ethan is unfit to be a father. Removing his kidney will also kill any delusion he has about me ever bearing him another child. A shallow, useless husband like him was clinging to power and willing to do anything he's told, as long as he's guaranteed a lifetime of food and comfort."

Hearing the door open, I quietly closed my eyes.

My cheek felt a slight tickle. It was Vivian brushing the messy hair from my forehead.

"Ethan, as long as you obediently cooperate and get this little surgery done, I can give whatever you want."

After all these years of marriage, it was the first time she had ever spoken to me so gently. But I completely ignored her and calmly looked straight at Jenna:

"Dr. Deale, please proceed with the surgery as soon as possible. I have things to take care of later."

"Something to take care? What could a married man possibly have to do this late at night?"

With her red lips slightly parted and her expression cold, Vivian seemed like she had more to say, but her phone rang at that very moment.

It was Jason’s custom ringtone.
