...I cursed Herman and Giselle in my heart, furious at their shamelessness."On the day your father had surgery, I was performing surgery on other patients," I explained. "How could I have harmed your father?"Giselle sneered, "Stop trying to deny it. You insisted on switching surgeries that day, borrowing the mayor's plume to threaten him. He had to agree."Herman chimed in, "Admit it. You killed him."Their nerves made me feel disgusted.The man glanced between me, Herman, and Giselle. "You're all suspects. You're going down with him. Her first and you two next."He advanced toward me with his knife.The onlookers quickly scattered, avoiding the confrontation. I had nowhere to retreat; behind me was a wall.Just when I thought my life was over, the patient I had operated on the other day walked over with support."Young man, don't act impulsively," he said. "I can testify for Dr. Morrow. She was performing surgery on me that day."The attacker paused and began to calm dow
...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
...Giselle's words made Cesare frown.I could tell he was beginning to suspect me, but I remained composed."The patient's information can only be seen by the attending physician," I explained. "If even the main surgeon was clueless, how could I possibly know?"Cesare's status was special, and for this surgery, he used his chauffeur's identity. If it weren't for my memories from a past life, I wouldn't have recognized him as the mayor either.Speechless, Herman turned to Cesare. "Sir, I was totally in the dark. Beatrice drove Giselle away on purpose, and I had to chase after her."Cesare frowned, his tone cutting. "Even if I were just an ordinary person, you shouldn't have left me on the operating table. You treat patients as if they come in ranks. You don't deserve to be a doctor."Herman trembled, looking at the dean for help. "I swear it was all a scheme by Beatrice. Please, you must believe me."The dean hesitated, eager to plead for him, when the anesthesiologist and othe
...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
...In the hospital room, I was performing a post-operative check on the mayor. Once I confirmed the heart transplant was a success, I let out a heavy sigh of relief.Cesare Cain smiled at me. "I heard you performed my surgery. Thank you for your hard work, but I remember my attending physician was Dr. Fisher. Where is he? Did something happen to him?"Before I could respond, Herman's call came.Cesare glanced at the phone. "Dr. Fisher? You can answer it here."I pressed the speakerphone button without hesitation, and his voice came through. "Where are you? Come to Giselle's house now.""I'm performing post-op checks. The heart transplant was a success." I replied.Herman paused. "You did the surgery? I didn't expect this patient to be so tough. His chest was open on the operating table for 40 minutes, and he's still alive. What a waste. I was hoping we could use his body for research."I caught a glimpse of Cesare's pale face and quickly reminded Herman, "Watch your words. We
...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
