Chapter 8 The Truth Changes Nothing

Author: Simon Vale
By the time I arrived at the hospital where my son was staying, he was already asleep.

I gently placed his favorite stuffed toy on the nightstand beside his bed.

Then, I told my parents everything that had happened at the hospital. When they heard the whole story, they were shaken to their very core.

My father slammed his fist against the wall. "Monsters! They're nothing but monsters."

My mother's eyes filled with tears. "Thank goodness we listened to you and transferred Leo. Otherwise, my p

  • He Died On Her Table   Chapter 10 A Clear and Brighter Future

    I didn't hesitate to act, even for a second. I raised my arm high and waved at the two men before pointing at Grace.The moment they spotted her, they rushed over and yanked her up roughly by the arms.As she was dragged away, she twisted around to look at me, her eyes blazing with hatred as she screamed, "You bastard! You'll die a horrible death! You're all the same!"My face stayed impassive as she was shoved into an unmarked van that sped away, vanishing before me just like that.Not long after, the news reported that Grace had died in the psychiatric institution due to illness.After her death, Kyle inherited part of her estate and her shares in the hospital. Then, he did something no one expected.Apparently, he had been secretly gathering extensive evidence of the hospital's misconduct over the years. The dirt he had on the hospital included falsified clinical drug trials, questionable organ procurement channels, cover-ups of major medical incidents, financial irregularit

  • He Died On Her Table   Chapter 9 The Devil She Chose

    The next day, Grace looked noticeably relieved the second our divorce certificates were in our hands.The tension that had weighed on her for months seemed to disappear. Alas, that condescending aura of superiority she had when she talked to me returned full force.She casually brushed her hair back and gave me a mocking smile. "From now on, Kyle will be running the hospital, and I'll be moving up too."Her gaze swept over me from head to toe, full of disdain."As for you… You should lower your standards when you're looking for your next woman. Stop dreaming about marrying up. You're not young anymore. How many rich women would even want you? Besides, can you still perform in bed?"Then, she sauntered away triumphantly in her brand-new sedan, her high heels clicking against the pavement.I didn't argue, nor did I get angry.I simply watched her leave with cold eyes. 'Grace, you still don't understand men.'…Not long afterward, news of her marriage to Kyle spread like wildfire

"Thank goodness we listened to you and transferred Leo. Otherwise, my poor grandson…"Later, they asked what I planned to do next. I told them I was getting a divorce. They immediately supported my decision, but concern soon appeared on their faces."We completely support your decision," my father said. "But what about Leo? How are you going to explain it to him?"I was still trying to think of the gentlest way to tell him when a small voice came from the hospital bed. "Daddy, you should get the divorce."I turned around in shock.Leo was wide awake. "Daddy,

    When Marvin saw me looking at him, his face turned ghostly pale.He instinctively grabbed Grace's arm. "Dr. Harper, what… what does he mean by that? It was an accident! None of us wanted this to happen. Is Mr. Sterling biased against us or something?"The others quickly jumped in to defend themselves."It was an accident. Surgeries have always been risky. We did everything we could to save him.""Exactly. You weren't even in the operating room. Do you have any idea how hard we worked?"Grace's expression darkened. She stepped between the interns and me, her voice sharp and authoritative. "Are you done? This matter has nothing to do with you. The family involved has already accepted that this was an accident. Why are you still here, stirring things up?"I know you're angry, but don't take it out on innocent people. Marvin and the others are victims, too. Do you have any idea how much psychological pressure they're under right now?"I ignored Grace and fixed Marvin with a hard s

  • He Died On Her Table   Chapter 6 Someone Must Answer for This

    Grace suddenly grabbed me, her eyes red with rage. "You did this on purpose. You sent Xavier to that operating table, didn't you? You're a murderer!"I shook her off and sneered. "Grace, you really are good at framing people."So, I swiftly pulled out my phone and played another crucial video to everyone.The footage came from a portable camera set up by the family of the patient in the neighboring bed.The recording clearly showed Xavier walking past the room and noticing Leo's stuffed toy left on the bed. He had a curious glint in his eye, clearly interested in the toy. So, he picked it up and started playing with it.After a while, he started to flag. He hugged the stuffed toy, curled up on Leo's bed, and fell asleep.Shortly after, Marvin rushed in with the interns and quickly wheeled him away.When the video ended, silence fell over the crowd. It had all been a tragic mistake.One of the waiting parents could no longer stop themselves from adding in their two cents. "I don

    Grace's lips trembled, but she still forced herself to speak. "What, you hired someone to scare me? He's already dead. Why would you use something like this to get back at me? Why won't you just let him rest in peace?"When she refused to believe me, I opened the video and showed it to everyone.The footage started playing, showing my son lying in a hospital bed. His face was pale and his breath weak, but he looked alert and in good spirits.Once they got a clear look at him, I turned the phone around and spoke softly. "Buddy, I'm almost done here. As soon as I finish taking care of a few things, I'll bring your favorite stuffed toy to you. Be a good boy and listen to Grandpa and Grandma, okay?"My son obediently nodded and agreed.I immediately ended the call. I didn't want him to hear any more of the filth around us.Grace stood frozen, her entire body shaking, her eyes vacant with shock. "This… This can't be right. What's going on?"She stumbled backward before suddenly snapp

    The moment Marvin made the suggestion, the other interns' eyes lit up."That's right. Marvin's mistake happened because he wasn't familiar enough with a child's heart anatomy. If we study the case properly, he'll be much better prepared next time.""Mr. Sterling already signed the settlement agree

    I wanted to step forward and get a better look at the child's face, but a hand suddenly shoved me hard to the ground."This is all your fault. You kept making noise outside and ruined my first surgery. You destroyed my perfect record. Now, your son is dead. Are you happy?"There was not a shred of
