He left his dying wife by refusing to pay for the surgery, planned her funeral, then went on vacation with his mistress.
In a private clinic, Élise struggled for every breath. Her pale, frozen face contrasted with the humming machines around her. The diagnosis was clear: a risky operation could save her life… or end it. And yet, her husband, Laurent, flatly refused. Without emotion.
“It’s pointless, doctor. Unplug everything. She would’ve wanted to go with dignity.”
But he was lying.
Behind his silk suit and dry stare, Laurent was already planning what came next. He bought a burial plot, approved quotes for white roses… all while booking a getaway to Rome with his mistress.
Élise’s fate seemed sealed.

“Élise, Between Shadow and Light”
In a private clinic, Élise struggled for every breath. Her pale, frozen face contrasted with the humming machines around her. The diagnosis was clear: a risky operation could save her life… or end it. And yet, her husband, Laurent, flatly refused. Without emotion.
“It’s pointless, doctor. Unplug everything. She would’ve wanted to go with dignity.”
But he was lying.
Behind his silk suit and dry stare, Laurent was already planning what came next. He bought a burial plot, approved quotes for white roses… all while booking a getaway to Rome with his mistress.
Élise’s fate seemed sealed.
But then a man entered the scene: Mr. Dubois, a retired literature teacher. When he learned that Élise — a former brilliant student — was about to die for no good reason, he was outraged. With help from Dr. Martin, an honest surgeon, and a high-ranking official he had once taught, he put pressure on the system.
That very evening, the operation was authorized.
Against all odds, Élise survived.
When she opened her eyes, the world had changed. Laurent had vanished, her company had been stolen. Worse: Dr. Martin, the man who saved her, had been fired.
But Élise was no longer the same. Fragile yesterday, she became fire.
With the help of Martin and Dubois, she took back control of her life… and her empire. Laurent was cast out, the complicit doctors were exposed, and a new clinic was born — an ethical and humane place, led by Dr. Martin himself.
And in that restored light, love blossomed. A kiss shared beneath the magnolias. A quiet wedding. And then, one last surprise: a child on the way.
Élise had brushed against death.
Today, she was giving life.
