NovelEnglishChapter 1093:
Alicia glanced toward the hospital room door, her tone mocking. “Yet, she’s in this state because of you. Who
knows when she’ll overcher grief?”
Gemma'’s heartache was different from Corey's past encounters. He had never truly invested in relationships, but
Pierre was the first man Gemma had genuinely loved. The emotional burden would be profound.
Caden broke the tense silence. “Alicia, let's go home. We need srest. We'll return later to see Gemma.”

tender promise from Pierre, assenting to her request.
Gemma felt as if her heart was being ripped apart, the pain so intense that it almost convulsed her body. For a
fleeting moment, she contemplated ending her life. But she resisted. Her life had been preserved by Corey, who
had committed numerous acts to protect her. Her death would only bring him unbearable grief, compelling her to
endure the agony, burdened by the weight of his deeds.
Another winter settled in. Warrington was blanketed in snow.
Alicia, concerned that Gemma might harm herself, made daily visits to the hospital. Gemma, not wanting to
cause further concern, diligently followed her treatment plan, though she never smiled again.
Gemma'’s ongoing despair strained her artificial heart, causing its chip to deplete faster than anticipated—
