Chapter 2

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Stella and Drake turned pale at the same time, and the crowd of reporters and onlookers immediately sensed something fishy.

"Wait, if the crazy guy is so confident about it, don't tell me that he really is Dr. Watson's husband after all!"

"Exactly! Look, Dr. Watson's face is turning pale. Could it be that this man has been telling the truth after all?"

The murmurs in the hospital corridor grew louder and louder, making Stella feel increasingly worried.

Just then, a loud, crisp slap was heard.

Drake had just slapped himself in the face.

"I'm sorry! Since you think that I'm the one impersonating you, then I don't deserve to be a doctor anymore! I will resign immediately!"

Drake continued to weep as he kept slapping himself in the face again and again.

"Both of us are the ones who have wronged you. All you want is just money, isn't it? We'll give it to you! Just please, stop acting up all crazy in public like this again!

"We'll sell all of our belongings and scrape together all of our assets to make it up to you, alright?"

Drake's frantic, supposedly heartbreaking actions sent everyone into a daze, including me.

Before I could react, however, Stella immediately went over to him and helped him up. Then, she gritted her teeth as she glared at me.

"You madman! Just because I turned you away from surgery, you used all sorts of underhanded tactics to drive away all my other doctors at the hospital! Now, you're driving my husband away too?

"You just want money, don't you? I'll give it to you! There! Is that enough?"

Stella then grabbed a handful of money and slapped it in my face, cash flying everywhere and fluttering onto the ground.

"Take the money and get out of my sight! If you keep acting up again, I swear that you'll never get another penny from me!"

The cash hit my face hard, but my dignity felt as though it had just been trampled all over by her.

Was this really the same person whom I'd always thought was a good wife to me? To think that she was now humiliating me in public by throwing my money in my face!

And I was the dignified heir to the Greene family! I did not need any pity handouts from her!

Seeing that I was going to speak again, Stella immediately cut in before I could get a word out.

"I see now that you're not just trying to get your surgery done for free but also trying to extort more money from me, aren't you? Over my dead body!

"That 80-something year-old woman in there is much purer than you are after that hymenoplasty!"

An 80-something year-old woman? Grandma?

I was completely struck dumb.

I didn't know where my strength came from, but I pushed my way through security and stumbled into the operating room.

There, lying completely naked under a thin blue sheet with all of the livestreaming gear pointed at her, was my grandmother.

My breath caught in my throat. At once, a surge of deep hatred welled up within me.

Just a week ago, Stella had told me that she was bringing Grandma on a trip around the world. But as it turned out, she ended up using Grandma as a clinical model for her inaugural hymenoplasty surgery at the hospital!

She was such a beast! How dare she do such a thing to Grandma and humiliate the dignified matriarch of the Greene family like this?

Tears immediately sprang from my eyes. This time, I turned and glared at Stella with fierce hatred.

"Stella Watson! How dare you use Grandma as your clinical model? I will never forgive you for this!"

Every word erupted from my throat in great fury. However, Drake told the security guards to forcibly drag me away before he burst into uncontrollable tears.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who's going to believe a madman like you?

"This is my grandmother! And she willingly became the live clinical model for the hospital! Don't you dare meddle in this and twist our words!"

What did Drake mean by Grandma "willingly" being a live clinical model?

I couldn't listen to another word he said. My eyes blazed with fury as I yelled, "Stella Watson! I'm telling you that my father is on the way here right now!

"How dare you do this to Grandma? He's going to make sure that your entire Watson family pays for this!"
