Chapter 10
Benjamin is now consumed with remorse, bordering on madness.
But regrets were now futile.
No matter how much he regrets, I can’t come back to life.
He leaves the house as if fleeing, as if pretending he never set foot here will erase the fact of my death.
Men are always like this, preferring to evade rather than face the pain they’ve caused.
At times like this, only Sylvia can bring him some solace.

But now, even that solace will be no more!
In the past, Benjamin would always contact Sylvia before coming over.
But this time, he was so desperate for Sylvia’s comfort that he hurriedly rushed over.
The soundproofing in Sylvia’s neighborhood wasn’t great; occasionally, voices from
neighboring apartments could be heard clearly in the hallway.
Before he knocked, Benjamin heard faint voices from inside.
He paused, recognizing a voice other than Sylvia’s, one very familiar!

It was Dr. Hartwell!
But the topic of their conversation sent a chill down his spine!
“Benjamin knows… Yes, I couldn’t keep it hidden anymore!”
“Mirabelle’s death was just bad luck for her! What’s it to me!”
“It’s not like I begged Benjamin to give me the heart, he did it willingly!”
Dr. Hartwell was also grumbling.
“We’ve kept this secret for so long, who knows what got into him?”
“And you, clearly not seriously ill, yet you had to

compete with Mirabelle. Pay me half a million,
or else I’ll tell Benjamin!”
Sylvia screamed, “Half a million! That’s a ridiculously high price!”
Dr. Hartwell and Sylvia knew each other! They conspired to deceive Benjamin and obtain the heart.
Once everything settled, they even dared to hide the fact of my death!
The argument between the two grew louder, and Benjamin’s eyes slowly reddened.
He muttered to himself, “It’s all their fault… Otherwise, Mirabelle wouldn’t have died!”
He kicked the door of the room open and, as

Sylvia screamed, rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
Dr. Hartwell shielded mother and daughter Sylvia behind him and stared warily at Benjamin.
“Benjamin, let’s talk this over, don’t do that!”
“You signed the voluntary waiver yourself; you can’t blame us!”
But at this time, Benjamin could no longer listen to these words.
He rushed towards Dr. Hartwell.
Human beings are still more alert to danger, Dr. Hartwell reflexively pushed Ellie towards Benjamin’s face.

And he himself desperately ran for the door.
Even then, he didn’t get away!
Benjamin pushed Ellie to the side and Sylvia lunged right in.
No matter what kind of woman, she would always put her children first!
Without the others to stop him, Benjamin grabbed Dr. Hartwell straight away.
He stabbed the knife into Dr. Hartwell’s
abdomen.
One blow after another.
Benjamin’s eyes were red, blood splattering

onto his face.
“It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t kept it from me, Mirabelle wouldn’t have died!”
Frustrated, he stormed away from the barely conscious Dr. Hartwell and turned his glare towards Sylvia, who was holding Ellie.
“You bitch! If it wasn’t for you Mirabelle wouldn’t be dead!”
Benjamin’s strength was so strong that Sylvia rolled her eyes as she was choked. And her face gradually turned blue.
Ellie cried out in fear, she cowered in the corner and cried out for her mom.
Benjamin snapped his head back, he stared at

Ellie and wouldn’t let go.
“And you! It’s because of you that Nora isn’t close to me anymore!”
He was completely mad!
Seeing that Benjamin was about to hit his daughter, Sylvia’s body exploded with power.
She rushed forward and copied the nearby bench and smashed it hard on Benjamin’s head.
Unfortunately, Sylvia wasn’t very strong, so even though Benjamin was dizzy from being hit, he could easily knock Sylvia to the ground.
It was really a scene of dogfight!
The whole house was a mess, the neighbors
