Chapter 2 As You Wish , My Heart Is Dead Chapter 2 As You Wish , My Heart Is Dead $ 20 Free Cord Millie stared at the photo of the two of them . Her face was getting paler , her fingertips turning ice - cold . When Vera , the caregiver , came in with a bottle of warm water , she saw Millie lying there with her eyes shut . Her phone was facedown on the blanket , her knuckles tight and white from , clutching it . On Vera's very first day , Millie had wired her 100,000 , told her to buy what she needed for the hospital , and said the rest was payment . Vera had never worked for someone that generous , so she took her job extra seriously . But after a week of caring for Millic , she couldn't help but feel bad . Millie was about her daughter's age , yet she lay there in the hospital with no one around . Not a single friend or family member came by . Not even a call . She just seemed so pitiful . Vera grabbed a warm towel and began placing it on Millie's right leg . The doctor had warned her that Millie's right leg had clotting problems , and heat would help . But as Vera rolled up Millie's hospital pants , she gasped in shock . Millie slowly came back to her senses . " What's wrong , Vera ? " The towel slipped onto the bed . Vera pointed at Millie's exposed calf . " Ms. Jackman , your leg ... It's swollen so badly ! " Millie looked down . Her once slender leg was nearly double in size , and the skin marked with purple veins . Next door , the head nurse overheard the noise and rushed in . " This is a clot ! Hurry , call Dr. Reed ! If we're late , she could lose the whole leg !" Raymond was the surgeon who had operated on her the day Millie was admitted . Vera bolted out of the ward and ran straight to his office . 1/5 Chapter 2 As You Wish , My Heart Is Dead She opened the door and found him squatting , checking a beautiful woman's ankle . That woman had long , straight hair and wore a pretty white dress with just the right touch of lace . Sitting there , she looked like a fairy from another world . A tall man stood beside her . In a white shirt and black pants , he gave off power without saying a word . Vera thought of Millie's condition and hurried forward , knocking hard on the door . " Dr. Reed , Ms. Jackman has a blood clot ! It's serious - please go see her now ! " Raymond stood up quickly and glanced at the man nearby . That man was the CEO of Pearson Group , also one of the hospital's shareholders . " Mr. Pearson , Ms. Smith's ankle is only a sprain . Anyone can handle it . I have a critical patient , and I need to get there ." When Callum heard the last name Jackman , he paused for a moment . Not many in Northspire shared that surname . He thought of Millie . She had called days ago , saying she'd been in a car crash . He ignored her , assuming it was just another tantrum . This past year , she always fought with him about Freya . Callum was tired of it . At first , her moods seemed cute . But after so long , he had to admit his patience was running out . Maybe that happened to every guy . His girlfriend stayed gorgeous . But once the thrill was gone , even strong love began to fade into boredom . He used to love Millie crazily . If she cried , he'd want to hand her the whole world . He still loved her , but he wanted her to be calm , sweet , and not pick fights . After wrapping up work today , Callum even told his assistant to book a candlelit dinner , 2/5 Chapter 2 As You Wish , My Heart Is Dead hoping to smooth things over with Millie . But Freya had shown up at his office . She said softly , " Callum , don't push yourself so hard . If you get sick , I'll be worried . " Her gentle words warmed him , so he changed his mind and took her out instead . He figured Millie should keep reflecting on her behavior . At the restaurant earlier , Freya had twisted her ankle on the stairs . Since Evergrace Medical Center was nearby , he brought her here . When she heard Raymond's reply , Freya pouted , biting her lip . Tears welled in her eyes as she tugged Callum's sleeve . " Callum , look , my ankle is still red . It truly hurts .... She lifted her dress a little , showing her long , fair leg and her freshly polished pink toenails . Callum's eyes flicked to her sexy , bare leg before he looked away . He told Raymond , " You're the best here . Treat Freya first before anyone else . " Raymond frowned . Freya's sprain was minor , but Millie's clot could cost her a leg . She needed immediate care . But with Callum standing there , Raymond didn't dare argue . Vera paced anxiously by the door and interrupted once more . " Dr. Reed , Ms. Jackman can't wait ! Please , go to her ! " Freya shot Vera a sharp look , then turned to Callum with teary eyes . Her voice came out soft and drawn out , almost like a whine . " Callum , it hurts so bad .... Her tone melted him , and he snapped , " Dr. Reed , hurry and treat Freya . " Raymond had no choice but to fix up Freya's ankle before checking on Millie . Freya couldn't be happier . She loved soaking up the attention , especially with Callum right there . It made her feel untouchable , like she was above everyone else . 3/5 Chapter 2 As You Wish , My Heart Is Dead As for anyone else's life ? She didn't care . 品 120 Free Comm Back in the ward , Vera came in with slumped shoulders , looking drained . The nurse asked anxiously , " Where's Dr. Reed ? " Vera was furious . Even she could see that Freya's sprain was nothing serious . Any random doctor could've handled it . But Freya was dating the Pearson Group CEO , who was powerful and privileged . Millie , on the other hand , was just a nobody . Vera looked at Millie lying weak on the bed , her chest tight with worry . " Dr. Reed is busy treating the Pearson Group CEO's girlfriend's sprained ankle . He'll come afterward . " In Northspire , there was only one Pearson Group CEO - Callum . Millie heard that from her bed , her half - shut lashes trembling . The harsh white hospital lights made her pale face look even more lifeless . Half an hour later , Raymond finally burst into the ward . Everyone finally relaxed . It took him three hours to remove the clot in Millie's leg . After tossing his bloody gloves in the bin , he reminded the nurses again and again to keep a close watch on her . Once Millie was stable , Vera wiped her down and couldn't stop venting . " Ms. Jackman , you should've seen it ! Mr. Pearson is unbelievable ! I told him ye were critical , but he still made Dr. Reed handle his girlfriend first ! " Her ankle was just a little red , yet she acted like it was a big deal . If I were her , I'd think I was the luckiest woman alive , having a man spoil me like that . But seriously , this is a hospital . How can she show off their love while someone's fighting for their life ? Don't other people matter ? " 4/5 21:20 Mon , Sep 29 Chapter 2 As You Wish . My Heart Is Dead Halfway through her rant , Vera noticed the emptiness in Millie's eyes and realized she'd said too much . " Ms. Jackman , did I cross the line ? " Millic shut her eyes , whispering faintly , " No. " Her heart was already dead . That was it . She picked up her phone and sent Callum a message . " Callum , as you wished , my heart is dead . We're done . The wedding is off . " Then , she erased every way he could ever reach her .
