Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 196

Luka used his connections to track Maeve down. Under the guise of "making up for lost family," he strong-armed her into going to the hospital for a DNA test.

He even promised that as long as the results proved Maeve was a daughter of the Morales family, they'd give her a financial settlement so huge it was "beyond imagination."

What Maeve hadn't expected was that when it came time for the blood draw, a crooked doctor slipped something into her IV. She was sedated, wheeled straight into an operating room, and they tried to take one of her kidneys.

The moment Maeve got to that part of the story, the livestream exploded.

TaroBall566: You just made that up on the spot, didn't you? That's pure evil.

Red Wine: Even TV dramas wouldn't dare write something like this.

Can't Quit Soda: Anything for sympathy, huh? You'll use any excuse.

Comment after comment accused Maeve of exaggerating—of spinning a sob story.

Even if Maeve's mother had been Luka's first wife, people argued, Isla's wrongdoing was "only" a moral issue at worst.

Now her son was sick. What he needed was family help.

Not someone taking two hundred million from the Morales family and then turning around and refusing to lift a finger.

No one knew whether it was paid trolls steering the narrative or whether the internet had simply lost its sense of right and wrong. But even with the truth this far along, a huge chunk of viewers were still condemning Maeve for "letting someone die."

A smaller group sympathized.

For over twenty years, the Morales family hadn't cared whether she lived or died.

So why, the moment her half-brother got sick, was she supposed to be dragged to a hospital and treated like an organ bank?

Those comments were quickly drowned out by a barrage of pushback.

Dumpling: Taking her kidney is wrong, sure—but don't forget she took two hundred million from them.

Hans was already at his laptop. "Understood. Not one of them gets away."

Spreading that kind of filth about an innocent girl was the sort of thing that deserved hell.

In the room Maeve was in, she ignored the comment section entirely. Without blinking, she pulled up a split-screen clip and hit play.

The video showed what happened when she'd been "knocked out" in the hospital—the conversation between the two doctors preparing to cut her open.

The male doctor said, "Morales family's young lady has a rough life. Comes in from the middle of nowhere to meet her family, and her own dad sends her to the table to lose a kidney. Shame, too—she's got a face like that."

The female doctor snapped, "Lower your voice. She doesn't know they're taking one."

He scoffed. "So what? They dosed her with enough anesthetic to keep her out until it's over. The match results come back?"

"They did," she said. "Close enough for transplant. Mr. Morales is getting worse—we can't wait. Surgery's set for seven tonight…"
