Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1013

Maeve had foreseen that Benjamin would face a life-threatening crisis shortly after the new year, she just hadn't expected it to happen this quickly.

Back when she had Andres arrange that dinner party, she had openly mentioned she had a very special gift prepared for Benjamin.

That gift was this exact, custom-engineered heart.

Dr. Evans couldn't hide his professional excitement.

Opening Benjamin up again for a second transplant was incredibly risky.

But he had consulted with Maeve prior to this. She had promised that this newly advanced experimental heart would not only last a staggering fifty years, but it would also allow Benjamin to live a completely normal, active life.

It was poised to be a monumental miracle in modern medicine, and Dr. Evans was thrilled to assist her in the OR.

His absolute faith in Maeve stemmed from the undeniable fact that she was the sole reason Benjamin had survived this long in the first place.

"Maeve, I've prepped the operating room exactly as Zane requested," Dr. Evans assured her. "The entire surgical team is scrubbed in and ready."

Maeve slipped off her coat and handed it to Andres.

"This will take roughly five hours," she told him softly. "If you're tired, go get some rest. Don't wait up for me."

Taking her coat, Andres gently wrapped his fingers around her wrist.

"I'm not leaving," he said firmly. "I'll be right out here until you're done."

Maeve gave him a silent nod. Pausing for a second, she added one last reassurance.

"Don't worry. A minor procedure like this is a walk in the park for me."

Without waiting to see his reaction, she turned and strode briskly toward the OR with Dr. Evans and the medical staff.

Daisy and Zane were already pacing anxiously outside the double doors.

Seeing Maeve approach, a wave of intense guilt washed over Daisy's face.

"I'm so sorry," she choked out. "I couldn't protect him."

What terrified them was whether her body could withstand the grueling endurance test.

Pregnancy was exhausting enough, and she was still in her first trimester—the most fragile window.

If whoever was behind this had used Benjamin's life to deliberately push Maeve past her limits, they had played a brilliant, sickening hand.

Andres was already ten steps ahead of Murray's theory.

The glacial fury radiating from him was precisely because he knew the hit on Benjamin was just a smokescreen. The real target was Maeve.

And as for who she had recently crossed? The answer was painfully obvious. The Grover family.

The animosity was violently mutual. They were locked in a blood feud that wouldn't end until one side was completely annihilated.

Griffin had warned them before his hibernation that the bitter rivalry between Maeve and Nancy Grover was a karmic curse carrying over from their past lives.

Knowing that Nancy's life was mystically tethered to his own unborn children felt like a suffocating weight crushing his chest, leaving him gasping for air.
