Ava replied instantly.
[You already know? Well, if you agree to divorce Irwin, I’ll tell you.]
Sue didn’t hesitate.
[Fine.]
[It’s in Irwin’s office. Behind the bookshelf, there’s a hidden space. You’ll find what you’re looking for there.]
Without a second thought, Sue hailed a cab straight to B. Global.
Just as Ava said, there was a secret basement behind the bookshelf in his office.
The moment Sue stepped in, a chilling air enveloped her.
Her skin prickled with goosebumps.
A giant whiteboard hung on the wall, filled with countless plans.
[Plan 1: Backup Heart Donor]
[Plan 2: Artificial Heart]
[Plan 3: Conservative Treatment]
Every single plan—a path Irwin paved for Ava’s survival.
Sue finally understood.
Five years ago, Irwin had already collected multiple backup hearts for Ava.
But he couldn’t wait for a donor to arrive by air.
So instead, he forcibly took Sue’s mom’s heart—and gave it to Ava.
For the past five years, Ava had gone through countless artificial hearts.
Each heart’s data, every rejection her body experienced—meticulously recorded.
All for the sake of giving Ava more time.
And her mom’s heart?
It had been preserved.
Sealed in this dark, hidden basement.
For five whole years!
