Blood on His Hands, Vengeance in Mine

..."Herman is the attending doctor. He said I can wear nail art during the surgery. What right do you, as an assistant doctor, have to tell me what to do?"I opened my eyes to a familiar voice. Without thinking, I glanced around and saw Giselle Atkins' smug face.I quickly took in my surroundings. This was the operating room where a heart transplant surgery was being performed.Everyone was suited up, ensuring a sterile environment. But Giselle was different. Not only were her hands adorned with diamonds, but she wasn't even wearing a mask.That was when I realized something shocking. I had been sent back to the day the mayor was having surgery in our hospital.In my previous life, Herman Fisher had insisted on letting Giselle assist during the heart transplant. She made mistakes with the instruments, and ignored basic surgical protocol, even almost letting a piece of her nail art fall into the patient's body.I couldn't hold back my frustration and scolded her.She left the o

...As soon as the phone connected, I spoke urgently. "Where are you? Hurry back. We're still waiting for you to perform the surgery."Herman's voice was filled with anger. "Giselle is upset. Can you not urge me now? The surgery is on hold. I'll take care of Giselle and then come back to do it."The line then went dead.Everyone in the room exchanged glances, and the anesthesiologist couldn't hold back his frustration."This is such an important surgery. If we wait for him, the patient might not make it.""Try calling him again. We need him here right away. If something happens to the patient, we're all responsible."I sighed and called Herman again. "The patient's condition is deteriorating. You need to come back right now."Herman answered impatiently, "The heart transplant is risky from the start. If he's going to die, then it's just his bad luck."I didn't expect him to say something so irresponsible. I questioned him sharply, "What if something happens to the patient? Whe

...I smiled, feeling relieved.Herman's biggest reliance was on his identity as a doctor. Without that title, he was nothing.On the same day, his medical license was revoked, and the hospital sent him a termination notice.Giselle was fired, too.By the time they received the news and arrived at the hospital, I was setting up my new office.I had originally expected it would take another six months for a promotion, but since I had saved the mayor and covered for Herman, the hospital authorities made an exception and promoted me earlier. This office used to be Herman's.When Herman saw the badge with my name on the desk, his face turned red with fury."It was you who caused all this trouble!" he snarled. "You had my medical license revoked and got me fired from the hospital!"I shrugged. "We've been married for three years. Do you think I have the power to make all this happen?""Who else could it be?" he snorted. "I never thought you could be so malicious. You ruined me jus

...I had heard that Giselle came from an extraordinary family, but I never expected her background to be not just remarkable but vast and far-reaching. Her grandmother was a pioneer in the domestic medical field, and her entire family consisted of top-tier doctors. Her grandfather was the dean of the country's most prestigious medical school.What shocked me even more was her educational background. She wasn't a medical student but was majoring in painting.On the surface, she was a medical doctor, but in reality, she had only studied medicine for four years, and even her thesis was plagiarized. In an instant, many things that I had once been confused about clicked into place.That explained why Herman flattered her so much despite her average looks. He must have figured out her identity.A few days later, he asked me for a divorce.My guess was confirmed when I saw how eager he was to marry Giselle.Suddenly, I felt a deep, overwhelming sense of helplessness.Giselle's ba
