Chapter 5

Penulis: Pork Chops
Before Charles could answer, several of his colleagues, drawn by the commotion, came over and pulled him away.

I even heard them reprimanding him, but Charles just retorted self-righteously, "I know her case is complicated, but we can't deny new doctors the chance to gain experience. It's all part of the teaching process. I can't help it either!"

One of the doctors said, "I don't see you putting as much effort into the other PhD students you're mentoring. How could you let a student practice on such an important case? The patient is your own wife! If you're really that generous, let's see you make the same choice next time. Maybe then we'll stop questioning you!"

Charles stormed off without answering.

Hadrian grabbed my arm and reinserted the IV, deliberately jabbing a little harder than necessary.

I frowned but didn't make any sound.

When he saw my frown, his movements quickly softened.

It hadn't hurt that much, really.

"I can't believe you rejected me for that asshole. You're

  • Abandoned on the Operating Table   Chapter 10

    I raised my hand. The delivery man approached.The bouquet was huge, so he was drenched in sweat from the effort of just carrying it.He smiled. "A gentleman sent these to you. He said he's currently busy with surgery, so he can't pick you up in person. These 99 roses are his message to you. He asked you to let him know your decision."There was no signature on the card, but I knew who had sent them.Charles and Yvonne, seeing this, assumed that this was all an act that I had staged myself.Yvonne laughed out loud. "I hope you didn't pay this guy to deliver you some flowers just because you heard that Charles and I got engaged, Rachel. Did you buy these roses for yourself?"Charles laughed as well. "Are you really that desperate for love? It must have been painful for you to get a divorce from me!"I smiled serenely at him. "It was painful enough being married to you. For the record, I don't regret it one bit. The both of you had better stay together forever. Don't hurt anyone e

    Slowly, I tilted my hand. The bracelet slipped off my wrist and fell to the ground with a clang, the sound a mockery of all the years of our relationship.Charles froze for a moment before picking it up. With a laugh, he said, "You've been sick for years. Of course, you've lost weight. I should've thought of that.""No, you didn't think of that. You just made a random guess before buying it," I said.Charles refused to admit that.He continued reminiscing about our past, trying to paint a picture of how great things once were between us."When we first got together, we were separated in different cities. We started out in a long-distance relationship, remember? You kept coming to visit me," he said.He reached for something, as if trying to show me some evidence of this, but froze instead when he remembered something.I laughed at his flustered expression. "You and Yvonne tore apart everything I kept from that period. Yvonne burned what's left of the pieces.""You…" Charles spl

    Yvonne had the audacity to upload an intimate photo of her and Charles right before apologizing to me.She had put on a good show, acting remorseful when she came to me.Gathering evidence and reporting her and Charles the moment I woke up was the smartest decision I had ever made. The fried chicken tasted so much better after watching them being taken away for investigation.After I finished eating, Hadrian said with a smile, "You're recovering well. You just have to take extra care of yourself from now on."I nodded."Did you report them?" he asked."Yeah. They almost killed me. Of course, I reported them."Hadrian tidied up his things quietly for a moment, deep in thought. Then, he asked, "What's your plan with Charles now?""Divorce. I've filed the papers already."He looked at me in surprise.He was probably shocked that I would initiate divorce, given my past history of being hopelessly infatuated with Charles."Are you sure? Have you thought this through?"I nodded

    I didn't know what Charles and Yvonne spoke about in the corridor, but it turned out that Charles asked Yvonne to apologize to me. When she came back in, she was holding several bags of stuff.She placed them in front of me. "I'm sorry about what happened in the past, Rachel. Please accept my most sincere apologies."Then, she quickly added, "But I've used your case as an example in my thesis. Charles has already spoken to the hospital, and I will be credited as the lead surgeon in your surgery. You'll need to sign off on that. Could you… just turn a blind eye this once?"It was still all about her own interests.When our eyes met, her gaze flickered uneasily."No."As soon as the word escaped my mouth, Yvonne suddenly dropped to her knees.This entire thing felt so ridiculous to me.On her knees, she began crying. "I worked so hard to get to where I am now, Rachel. You know how hard it is to get a PhD in medicine. I'm just one step away. Please help me. I'm begging you!"Char

    When Yvonne lunged at me and grabbed my phone, it happened to play the part where she and Charles were hugging and kissing each other.I had been playing the video on mute to leave them a shred of dignity, but in Yvonne's haste to snatch the phone, she accidentally turned on the sound.The sounds that played from the video were incredibly inappropriate to the point of unbearable.When Yvonne heard it, she lost it. She burst into tears and flung herself at Charles.Charles took the phone and took a look himself. His hands shook. "Rachel, when did you install surveillance cameras in the house? Why didn't I know about this?""Because it's my house. You moved in later. It came with surveillance cameras," I told him.Charles had nothing to say to that. Back when we first got married, he was the one who refused to buy a house himself, saying that we could just live in the one my parents had left me when they died.I agreed to it, and I even used my own money to renovate the house.Th
