About When the Heart Breaks Twice
Jack Schulz was the biological son of Jennifer Lynn, a respected surgeon. Due to a misunderstanding with his father, Jennifer resented Jack but favored her adopted son, Matthew Zane—the child of her former lover. After Matthew hit Jack with a car, Jack suffered internal bleeding and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors repeatedly called Jennifer for consent to operate, but she refused to believe the situation.Losing hope, Jack gave up on survival. Matthew found Jack's kidney donation form and secretly changed it to authorize full organ donation. Meanwhile, Jennifer was desperately seeking a heart for Matthew. Unaware of the truth, she ended up dissecting her own son and transplanting his organs into Matthew. Though the body looked familiar, she believed Matthew—until a DNA report confirmed the donor was her real son. Only then did she realize the devastating truth.
