Love can give happiness, but love is also the deadliest killer. No joke, what is paralyzed is not your body, but your soul that becomes empty.'

"Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell, it's time for surgery. Mrs. Caldwell must be transferred to the operating room immediately."
With a heavy heart, Elvano let go of his embrace from his wife. He looked at the face of the woman he loved so much, "I will wait for you, fight, so that we can raise this child together." He kissed his wife's forehead for a moment. After that, for the first time, he gently stroked his wife's belly. He also left a warm kiss there.
Anna was very happy. Finally, one of his dreams came true. She could feel that her husband also loved their baby very much.
"I know you'll be a great father to our child later. You will surely love our child so much."
"Anna, stop those ambiguous words! If anything happens to you, I won't forgive him! The only way for me to love him is, you have to be with us. We have to be together in raising him, okay? Promise me!"
Anna smiled sweetly, "Elvano, I love you! The choice I made when I married you was the most appropriate choice I've ever had. Do not let me down."
After saying that, the nurse took her to the cold operating room.
When the doctor in charge of his wife's surgery was about to step in, Elvano held them for a while.
"If something bad happens in that operating room, no matter how, you guys have to save my wife!"
An obstetrician replied, "Mr. El, calm down, we will do our best to save both of them, even if it's impossible. Your baby… he's very healthy-"
"I know he is very healthy, all I want is my wife!" he insisted.
"W-okay!" The cardiologist who had been treating his wife's illness answered with trepidation.
In the operating room~
The two specialists looked at the beautiful woman with a pale face. Right now her appearance was no different from a corpse, extremely pale.
"We will start now. Inject the anesthetic!" said one of them.
"Wait!"
The voice stopped the action of the nurse who was ready to stick a small needle into her flesh.
"Doctor, you are a woman, so you know how painful it is when a woman cannot give offspring to her husband. Please... save my child. I just want him to live!"
"Mrs. Caldwell, we've talked about this over and over again, I'm not God who can decide a person's fate. Your pregnancy has been opposed from the start, why-" she couldn't continue his words.
"I'm sorry, right, I have disappointed you. You have been treating me for a long time. You also always remind me not to get pregnant first, but ... this has been going on for a very long time. I will also die even without giving birth. Can't I leave a child for my husband before I leave? My illness has nothing to do with my child, I-"
An obstetrician interrupted him, "Mrs. Caldwell, please don't make things difficult for us anymore. We are doctors, it is our duty to save the lives of our patients. If we can save both, why should we choose one of them? We are not God, who can determine one's destiny, who can take lives or give additional lives to other people. What you should know is we will definitely do our best to save you!"
Inside the cold operating room, the two doctors did everything they could. The best they did. Meanwhile outside, in the waiting room, a husband who was also soon to become a father, was waiting with anxious feelings. He was scared to death if he lost his wife. Deep inside his heart, he did also really hoped that the child would be okay, but the conditions required him not to be greedy, so he could only choose one of the two people he loved.
However... man could only hope, God's decided all. Moreover, the mother's determination was very strong, as she expected, God chose to save her son and pick her up.
After hours of struggling in that scary room, the medics came out looking exhausted and full of regret.
"Mr. Elvano Caldwell, sorry, we've tried our best, but your wife couldn't be saved."
Boom.....
Those few words were able to overthrow the man who had been known to have the most influential power in the city of Ankassar. His soul instantly seemed to be lost in the wind that passed when it blew.
He was a strong, influential man who had built a prominent business empire that had spread to 32 countries. He was feared, respected and adored by public.
Everyone knew him, a fearless human! However, who would have guessed, now the man actually fell down weak, helpless, as if ... his soul was reluctant to inhabit his fragile body.
"Your son is not in a good condition either because he was born prematurely."
Instantly, a flash of anger appeared on the frail man's face. He immediately stood up in one fell swoop. "Didn't I tell you, I don't need the child! I just want my wife! Only my wife!!!! Why don't you do your job well?"
"Mr. Elvano, you are free to say whatever you want, we won't mind it, but what you need to know, even if we could choose between the two lives, we would definitely save Mrs. Caldwell. However, your wife chose her own path. As soon as your child was born, she ... she breathed her last, before we even had a chance to help her.
Your wife's health condition is very complicated. She was bleeding a lot. We know how you feel, but please watch your word! We are doctors. Life is not something we should play with. You tell us to choose, obviously we can't do that, neither Mrs. Anna nor the baby, and both are lives for us.
