Right after Harper completed her tenth high-stakes neurosurgery, Victor immediately shoved Chloe into sterile scrubs to face the media, claiming the miracle as his mistress's achievement. His text buzzed on Harper's phone: "Endure this last time for the group's stock price." Instead of replying, Harper left a signed divorce agreement in her locker and walked out the back door. She chose to permanently sever their five-year bond, knowing the agonizing cost: she must finally abandon the safety of her hidden lab and confront the terrifying public spotlight her Asperger's made her dread. Taking only the raw surgical footage embedded with her unique biometric code, Harper left. Meanwhile, Victor confidently froze her lab access, convinced his socially anxious wife would soon crawl back to save Chloe during next week's nationwide live surgery.
