The joint statement sent shock waves across the internet.Insurance fraud?A criminal investigation?How had Quentin Lowe, the crying "victim" from before, suddenly become a criminal suspect?Everyone was stunned.While the internet was still reeling in shock and confusion, I finally made my move after staying silent for days.I posted a video on the school forum and major social media platforms using accounts bearing my real name.It was first-person footage taken with the tiny hidden camera on Quentin's chest.The video began with Quentin and Hugo talking in secret."Quentin, are you really going through with this? That's a steep cliff. What if you fall and get seriously hurt?" Hugo asked."What are you afraid of?" Quentin replied. "I've checked it out. From this height, I'll break a bone at most! I've already paid off a few thugs. "They'll pretend to be hikers and pressure that idiot Max into helping me!"In the video, Quentin's arrogant voice came through loud and clea

Three days later, news of Quentin's amputation spread across the school forum.People shared several exaggerated versions of what had happened, but they all blamed Hugo's recklessness and my so-called "heartless indifference".Hugo's parents stepped in at once. Their family had some influence in town and owned several midsize businesses. They refused to let Hugo take all the blame.In response, the Judd family sued Quentin.They claimed he had deliberately set a trap near the cliff and misled Hugo. As a result, Hugo had tried to "save a life" without knowing all the facts and had made a mistake while giving aid.The two families had become bitter enemies.When Quentin's parents realized they couldn't push the Judd family around, they set their sights on me again, assuming I would be an easy target.They went to my dorm and scrawled "Cold-Blooded Killer Max Carter" and "A Life for a Life" all over the walls in red paint.They even put up huge posters portraying me as a heartle

Since I was injured, too, I was flown by rescue helicopter to the hospital at the foot of the mountain.The wound on my palm was deep, the doctor debrided it and gave me five stitches. I also had a severe soft tissue contusion on my knee.After my wounds were bandaged, I limped out of the ER and saw what was happening in the hospital lobby.A dozen or so people stood in the middle, looking furious as they held up a white banner with black writing on it.The banner read, "Heartless Medical Student Refuses to Save a Life! Give My Son His Leg Back!"I recognized the middle-aged couple at the front right away. They were Quentin's parents. I had seen their photos on his social media.They had clearly planned this in advance.They had been waiting for me to come down the mountain so they could confront me and extort money from me.Their malicious plan wiped out the last bit of sympathy I had for them.They hadn't heard that Quentin would need an amputation. They thought everything h
Break A Leg Chapter 5
The senior doctor's furious shout stunned everyone into silence.Can't save his leg?Those words hit everyone hard.The smug smile on Hugo's face froze.All color drained from his face. His lips trembled, and his knees gave out. He fell to the ground."No… No, that can't be. I was trying to save Quentin."The senior doctor ignored Hugo and pointed at Quentin's broken leg, which was already showing signs of tissue death. His expression was hard with anger."His leg was shattered, and you recklessly tried to set the bone right here. The bone pierced a major artery! Is this saving someone? You're endangering his life!"His voice was thick with a doctor's anger and grief.The remaining hikers who had praised Hugo as a hero now backed away in fear, desperate to avoid any connection to him.The livestream chat had gone from endless praise to a flood of curses and horrified comments."Oh my God! He needs an amputation?""Is Hugo an idiot? He acted like he knew what he was doing an

Hugo looked at me with a mocking grin and shouted at the camera, "Did you all hear that? He said we should call for a helicopter? "Max is just afraid of taking responsibility, so he's making things up and trying to scare everyone!"He's making a simple fracture sound life-threatening. Isn't he just looking for an excuse to stand by and do nothing?"Hugo turned the crowd against me again."Exactly! What's wrong with using a splint? Isn't that what they do on TV?""The kid's worrying for nothing. He's just afraid of getting into trouble.""Just help him already! Stop listening to that kid's nonsense. If we wait any longer, that guy could lose his leg!"I looked at the ignorant crowd, feeling helpless. There was no way to make them understand.I was trying to save Quentin, but they thought I was trying to hurt him.Meanwhile, Hugo, who was truly putting Quentin's life at risk, had become their hero.Hugo shoved me aside and reached for the aluminum splint and bandages attached
