Broken Marriage: The Destructive Power of First Love Chapter 1

My sister-in-law, Leah Morgan, worked non-stop for forty-eight hours, overburdening her heart, leading to impending cardiac arrest.

The doctor said she needed immediate heart surgery, and only my husband, Xavier Morgan, could perform this surgery in the country.

The situation was critical, and they couldn't reach Xavier, so they called me.

When I finally reached him, a sweet and sticky voice came from the other end.

It was Xavier's first love, Eden Gray!

"Clara, do you need something? Xavier is helping me with the claw machine! Oh, he got it... Xavier is amazing!"

I had no time to deal with her provocation.

"It's a matter of life. Leah has an impending cardiac arrest and needs immediate surgery. Get him back to the hospital now!"

Before the call ended, I heard Xavier's indifferent words. "Ignore her."

When I called back, his phone was already turned off.

In the end, he didn't come, and Leah died due to the delay in the best rescue time.

I was completely heartbroken, looking at Leah's cold body, and sent him a message.

"Xavier, you can keep playing with your first love from now on. We're getting a divorce."

The next afternoon, his reply finally came.

"It's up to you."

——

"Mrs. Morgan, we can't reach Dr. Morgan. His sister has an impending cardiac arrest and needs immediate surgery. Can you contact him?"

I had just found a used condom on the sofa.

Before I could react, I received a call from William.

"Leah has impending cardiac arrest?!"

I was instantly shocked and hurriedly grabbed my coat and rushed to the hospital.

When I arrived, William and his team were frowning and shaking their heads.

"Mrs. Morgan, Dr. Morgan is the only one in the country who can perform this heart surgery.

"He took a day off today. We've tried many times but can't reach him."

Hearing that Leah was in serious trouble, I became anxious and panicked.

Impending cardiac arrest is no small matter; it is a matter of life and death.

As the lead cardiac surgeon, Xavier had handled several similar emergency cases before. He had rushed from home to the hospital at two in the morning to perform surgery and saved people from the brink of death.

The surgery was difficult and time-sensitive; any delay could be fatal.

I quickly took out my phone and dialed Xavier's number.

The first call rang several times, but no one answered.

I was frantic and dialed again. Someone answered this time.

"Xavier! Something's happened. Come to the hospital now!"

The person who answered wasn't Xavier, but his first love.

Her voice was sweet, coming through the phone.

"Clara, do you need something? Xavier is helping me with the claw machine."

I had no time to deal with her intentional provocation and pretense.

"It's a matter of life. Leah has an impending cardiac arrest and needs immediate surgery. Get him back to the hospital now!"

I had just finished speaking when the call was hung up.

I was stunned and quickly dialed again.

The call was answered again, and Eden's sweet voice was whining.

"Xavier, she's calling again. Is she trying to take you away because you're with me?"

"I don't have time to fight over a man with you! Get Xavier on the phone!"

Xavier seemed to be patiently comforting Eden.

Before the call ended, Xavier casually said, "Ignore her."

I was about to go crazy with anger.

When I called back, the phone was already turned off.
