Heart Stolen by A Heartless Man

"Don't worry, if you don't like him, I won't force you to do something you don't want to," Rowan's mother said, "My dear Rowan, men will line up just to chase you!"

"I know, mom, don't worry," Rowan held her mother's hand and smiled, "He's a very good man; I'm marrying him out of my own will. Besides... right now, no one is a match for me, other than him."

"Is he that good?" Rowan's mother asked with doubt, "I know his family is powerful, but this young master..."

"Mom, you will like him, you'll see." Rowan said.

"OK, OK, mom won't ask you anymore. As long as our Rowan likes him, everything will be fine." Rowan's mother smiled and clapped her hands, "OK, let's continue, our Rowan is going to be the most beautiful bride ever."

Jensen held lunch in one hand and was about to push open the door of the hospital ward with the other, until he heard a muffled sound from inside the room.

Jensen became alarmed and quickly pushed open the door, only to see Hattie curled up in bed in pain.

In a hurry, he took a few quick strides, placed the lunch somewhere, rang the service button with one hand, and touched her forehead with his other hand. Her forehead wasn't hot, but it was cold and dripping with sweat.

Jensen was anxious, "Hattie, are you alright? Are you in pain? Hold on a bit, help is coming!"

Jensen comforted Hattie as he held onto her; she didn't even have enough strength to speak and could only mutter and grunt in pain.

Seeing that no doctor or nurse arrived yet, Jensen went out into the hallway and shouted, "Someone help! The patient in room 325 needs help!"

In a second, a handful of doctors and nurses rushed over; a doctor quickly checked Hattie's status, looked distressed, then immediately ordered the nurse beside him, "Get ready for surgery." This came out of nowhere.

Before Jensen could even react, the nurses were already pushing Hattie to the operation room.

Jensen knew that, even if he asked, he wouldn't get any clear answers now; he mustn't delay any time they need to treat Hattie, so he could only follow them up the stairs.

No matter what, he had to stay by Hattie's side.

Hattie quickly arrived in the operation room; the red light at the entrance of the room lit up.

It was glaring red.

...

Hattie was in a daze, and began to see illusions before her.

She seemed to see... Greyson getting married with another woman.

It was that pretty, elegant lady that she saw last time.

Hattie forced out a smile, but in the next second, a sharp, intense pain made her unable to continue smiling.

What can she do, Greyson?

Even in such pain, she could only think about him!

She's completely hopeless, right?

Hopelessly in love with him.

She couldn't even tell where she felt pain; it seemed to come from her heart, and then it seemed to come from her entire body.

What was Greyson doing now?

Maybe he was at a concert with that elegant lady? Or maybe they were at an art exhibition? Or maybe they were travelling leisurely somewhere? Oh, how jealous she felt towards that woman.

She was the one to dedicate everything to him, yet it was that woman who did nothing and easily won over his love.

She felt unwilling...

But...

He gave her all these pain on her body, and she was willing to accept it.

She couldn't blame anyone.

Nor did she want to blame anyone.

Besides, she knew she was not worthy to be with him.

And that lady, just from looking at her, she seemed rich and classy. And as for herself? Her family was from an average background, and her father was even a gambling addict.

It was not a difficult choice to make between these two girls.

If she were Greyson, she would definitely choose that lady as well.

Hattie laughed at herself, her face turned pale from the pain.

"Lady, hold on a bit, we're giving you anesthesia now." The anesthesia physicist said.

"Do I have to take anesthesia?" Hattie asked in a trembling tone.

"No... but we're afraid you can't take it..." The physicist replied.

"Don't worry, I can take it," Her face was pale, "Don't apply anesthesia, go ahead with the operation."

She wanted to clearly remember this pain.

The more painful the better, because... it was the only way to make her forget Greyson faster.

In the future, if she should ever think of him again, she would remember this pain.

This pain would serve as a deterrent to tell her to stop daydreaming.

The physician was shocked, "Lady, you..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Hattie's lips were white, "ask the doctor to go ahead with the operation."

The physician asked multiple times, but got the same answer. She had no choice but to tell the head doctor to head in and begin the operation.

"Are you sure you don't want anesthetics? Your body won't be able to withstand the pain," the head doctor asked.

"I'm not afraid." Hattie replied, "Please, go ahead."

The doctor sighed, but she couldn't make light of the patient's situation either. She only asked the anesthesia physician to wait outside, as she and her assistant began the operation. The icy cold disinfectant rubbing alcohol applied onto Hattie's skin and stung like a needle.

Hattie was unable to stop trembling, as she slowly shut her eyes.☐☐☐☐☐☐
