Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 6

“Yes, I have signed all the surgical consent forms. Ophelia’s kidney is a match for Kim. Kim is suffering from acute renal failure; nothing can go wrong with her.”

“But if we remove a kidney, Madam will find out.”

“Then make sure she never finds out. If she asks about the surgical scar, just say it was left by a car accident.”

Ophelia wanted to move, but she had no strength left in her body, not even enough to open her

eyes.

She could feel her skin being cut open, feel her kidney being removed.

Then she felt the sutures.

Ophelia’s mind was filled with memories of when she was pregnant with Julian.

Augustus would crouch down, kissing her belly over and over again.

His deep voice was full of love.

“Lia, I really can’t bear the thought of a stretch mark appearing on your belly. I’ll rub pregnancy oil on you every day. I swear, I will protect your belly no matter what.”

Back then, Ophelia looked at Augustus, her eyes brimming with love.

Watching him caress her belly again and again, as if it was more important than his research.

But now, her belly had been cut open by someone on his orders, leaving a long, hideous scar.

It wasn’t until much later.

The door to the operating room was opened.

Ophelia heard the sound of someone running in.

Augustus spoke a few steps away from her.

“How is Kim?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Reynolds, the surgery was a success. Ms. Monroe had acute renal failure. If

anything else had happened, Ms. Monroe would have needed another kidney transplant.”

“Ophelia has two kidneys. It’s fine.”

Ophelia lay on the operating table, tears streaming down her face.

She slipped into an even deeper unconsciousness.

So, what Kimberly wanted was her life, and she had to give it!

When Ophelia woke up, seven days had already passed.

Her son’s fever had subsided, and his small body was curled up beside her.

The moment he saw her awake, his big dark eyes lit up.

“Mommy, Mommy, you’re finally awake! Daddy said you got into a car accident while buying food for me. It’s all my fault…”

Julian burst into tears, lying on top of Ophelia, full of guilt.

Not far away, Augustus walked over.

His voice was magnetic: “It’s good that you’re awake. It’s nothing serious, you were just hit in the abdomen by a car, and there’s a large wound on your stomach.”

Ophelia heard this but did not respond.

She said, “Augustus, the password to my lab is your birthday. Go get the computer from there for me. I’ve reworked some data and I have to revise it before tonight.”

A trace of emotion flickered across Augustus’s face.

“Yes, I set it to the day of our first time together.”

Ophelia’s trembling hands held her son tightly.

That was the night Julian was conceived.

Augustus thought it was important–a day that meant a lot to the three of them as a family.

But now, none of it mattered anymore.

She wanted Augustus to hand her that computer himself.

Augustus said, “Get some rest. The doctor said you just lost a lot of blood. You’ll recover with

some rest. I’ll go get the computer and be right back.”

Augustus left.

Ophelia held Julian in her arms.

“Jules, we can finally leave.”

Ophelia used Julian’s watch to send a message.

“In two hours, the helicopter will leave from the roof of X Hospital.”

An hour later, Julian brought her the computer.

He also bought food that both he and Ophelia liked.

Augustus wanted to feed her himself.

Ophelia turned her head away.

“It’s fine, I’ll work first.”

“Tell me, I’ll make the changes.”

Augustus wanted to help.

But Ophelia shook her head. “No need, you never got involved in this experiment. I’ll do it myself.”

Augustus stayed with the mother and son the whole time.

But Ophelia didn’t actually make any changes; she was just biding her time.

She was also thinking of a way to get Augustus to leave.

Just then, Augustus received a phone call.

She heard everything clearly.

“Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Monroe is awake and looking everywhere for you. She was crying terribly when she couldn’t find you. Please come quickly.”

Augustus hung up, a trace of panic appearing on his face.

“Lia, something happened at the company. I have to go, but I’ll be back soon.”

As Augustus left, he paused at the door.

He turned back and said, “Lia, you and Jules will always be the most important people to me. Divorce is impossible between us. Wait for me.”

Wait? Never again.

After Augustus left.

Not long after, the sound of a helicopter came from outside the window.

It was very loud.

The little one was very

excited.

“Mommy, we can finally leave!”

Ophelia looked up at the sky outside the window. At last, it was clear.

She got out of bed, the pain in her waist sharp and obvious, but she endured it.

One hand holding Julian, the other carrying her laptop.

She headed straight outside.

She and Julian boarded the helicopter.

Her superior who came to pick her up asked, “Ophelia, is there anything else you need to arrange?”

“Just those two things: give my friend 15 million dollars, and divorce Augustus for me.”

“Alright, no problem. The organization will take care of everything for

you.”

“And one last thing, please have the organization blow up the Reynolds Group’s research lab for me.”

All those patents she and Augustus had created together would cease to exist. She was cutting ties with him completely.

Ten years ago, when she met Augustus.

She was all alone.

Now, as she left, she had Julian and her dreams.
