I gasped and sprang to my feet.The restaurant staff came out of nowhere. They removed all the chairs and replaced them with two huge tables. One stood in the middle of the restaurant, which had now been turned into a mini hall, and the other stood in the front. A huge cake was brought out, followed by many more confectionery. While the staff busied around, my eyes frantically searched for the source of those voices. “Happy Birthday, Best!” Bonnie hugged me, laughing happily. “Of course, I didn’t forget what special date it is today. None of us has forgotten.”“Happy Birthday, Olivia.”“Happy Birthday, Dear.”“Dr. Olivia, happy birthday. Oh my gosh, you look so gorgeous!”“Ms. Barton, surprise!”People started coming inside one by one, holding gift boxes in their hands. First, it was Maya and Grandpa Victor, then Mike and Tania.Alisha walked in next with some of my colleagues from the hospital, including Dr. Davison, and then Ethan walked in with Cora by his side. The next people
Once again, the internet was on fire. Netizens came out in full rage, expressing their opinions. “Where are those champions of justice who kept on chanting; kill Dr. Olivia, boycott the Wellington Group, and burn down the hospital!? Why’re you all silent!?”“The words are true; never judge a book by its cover! Jessica’s manipulation skills are on a different level! She killed that doctor!”“This drama all comes down to one thing! A dangerous love triangle. Who else remembers that Theo Wellington almost married that witch several months ago?”“But I thought she later announced that they were secretly married.”“Married my foot! Didn’t you realize that it was taken down immediately? It’s a sign that Jessica lied about it!”“We’ve all been blaming the wrong people. Dr. Olivia is truly pitiful. With such a dangerous rival like Jessica, that witch can go to any lengths to get what she wants!”“It’s not even a question that Jessica killed that doctor! Find her immediately! Kill the heartle
Jessica’s involvement in Dr. Natasha’s death was a huge plot twist. From the authorities’ explanation, it turned out that the victim’s phone hadn’t been found by accident. In fact, the person who found it at a dump site was a normal citizen. Seeing that the phone was intact, he thought he’d made a fortune and decided to sell it through an illegal way. The Cops, having been suspecting and tracking the shop owners’ activities including the purchase of stolen phones, raided his shop and seized all the devices. All the phones’ memories had been erased, and to locate the real sources of the phones, the Cops hacked into all the devices and recovered their deleted contents. That was how Dr. Natasha’s phone was found among the others. Most of her recent conversations before she died were with Jessica’s number, which was tracked to her address in L.A. The suspicious conversations caught the Cops’ attention, who investigated further and realized it was tied to the current huge scandal in t
The living room sank into silence, and then Theo’s mother and sister sighed at the same time. “I hope Dave is alright. Heard the servants gossiping that he got bullied at school,” Tania blurted out. My heart sank and I jolted up from the couch. “When did it happen? Where’s he?”Normally, Dave would visit me in Theo’s mother’s quarters every morning before going to school. Strangely, he hadn’t come today yet and it’s not the weekend. “You! Tania!” Maya glared at her. “Do I have to cut your lips first before you learn to listen to me? Didn’t I warn you not to say this to Olivia?”“Urgh! I’m sorry, Mom! I’m just sad about it, that’s why I couldn’t control myself. It’s insulting to have those wretched kids call my nephew a murderer’s son!”“You!” Maya gave her a helpless look. She stood up and held my hand. “Don’t listen to her. That’s not exactly what happened. You know my grandson couldn’t be bullied so easily. Although those kids called him names, he gave them a piece of his mind. T
The news about Dr. Natasha jumping off the rooftop shook me to the core. Her death caused a huge storm.For many weeks, the whole city echoed with the news, and the netizens got involved. At the scene, someone found a letter written in Dr. Natasha’s handwriting. The letter was specifically addressed to me. [Dear, Dr. Olivia. Thank you for turning the whole hospital management against me. Congratulations, I’ve finally lost my job, the source of my livelihood because of you. I know you’ll go scot-free because you have the support of powerful people like Theo Wellington and the hospital director, Dr. Davison. But karma won’t let you go unpunished.]Her letter not only implicated me, but also Theo and the hospital management. It circulated online within one night, and the netizens’ comments were harsh and unforgiving. “Another victim of an unfair system. Shame on those heartless people.”“Who would ever think that the best hospital with the highest reputation in the state would harbor
“Is she the intern you told me about?” Bonnie whispered to me. “Why do I feel like she resembles you a bit?”Cora doesn’t look a bit like me. Bonnie was only exaggerating. Wish I could turn away and pretend not to notice them, but they seemed to be coming towards us.What now? “I think it’s fate that we meet again,” Ethan said, stopping in front of us. “Olivia, I need to tell you something.”“There’s nothing left for us to discuss.” I folded my hands, struggling to remain calm. “You’ve already made your choice, Ethan.”“We can’t part ways like this.” Eyes masked with hopelessness, he gave me a pleading look. “Please listen to me.”Honestly, whatever he discusses will be useless. He’d clearly drawn the line between us right from the hospital. If Cora’s life hadn’t fallen into danger, he would never have come to L.A. and would have kept on ignoring my messages. Wasn’t that cold and heartless?“I think you should listen to him, Olivia,” Bonnie murmured. “I’m right here, watching you gu
