The operating room doors slid open slowly.

A sharp hiss of air escaped into the hallway.

Lilian stepped out.

She didn’t collapse.

She didn’t cry.

She didn’t smile.

Her white coat was stained. Her hair was damp with sweat. Her eyes looked hollow — like someone who had stared death in the face and dragged it back by force.

She walked like a woman whose soul had been wrung dry.

Her voice came out flat. Emotionless.

“He’s stable.”

For a second, no one breathed.

Then whispers rippled through the hallway. Nurses sagged against the wall. One doctor closed his eyes in silent relief.

But before the relief could settle—

A sharp, suffocating presence cut through the air.

Alexandra Lawson stepped forward.

The cruel heir.

His tailored suit was immaculate. His gaze was cold, cutting, merciless — the eyes of a man used to fear and obedience.

He stood directly in front of her, towering.

“You will stay,” he said coldly. “Until m

    The banquet hall glowed like a dream.Crystal chandeliers shimmered above silk-draped tables. Soft music floated through the air. Cameras flashed endlessly as the city’s elite gathered to celebrate the miracle doctor.Lilian stood at the center of it all.Dressed in an elegant midnight-blue gown, her hair pinned neatly back, she looked calm.But inside—She was unraveling.Every smile felt forced. Every compliment felt like a countdown.This banquet wasn’t an honor.It was an execution stage.She lifted her glass politely as doctors toasted her brilliance.“To Doctor Lilian Brook!” “A hero!” “A future legend!”Applause thundered.Her fingers tightened around the glass.I shouldn’t be here. I should be gone.Then—The temperature in the room shifted.Not physically.Emotionally.The chatter softened. Heads turned. Whispers rippled.Someone important had arrived.Lilian felt it before she saw him.Her spine stiffened.Her breath caught.Her heart screamed—No.Slowly… she turned.And th

    The moment Lilian stepped back into the hospital, she felt it.Eyes.Whispers.Paused footsteps.Every nurse she passed leaned closer to another. Doctors stopped mid-conversation. Phones were raised discreetly. Screens flashed with her face.She had become news.TV screens mounted on the walls replayed the same headline over and over:“MYSTERY INTERN SAVES LAWSON PATRIARCH — A MIRACLE IN MODERN MEDICINE.”Her chest tightened.This wasn’t victory.This was a cage.“Doctor Brook,” a nurse called politely, yet excited. “You’ve been requested at the conference hall.”Her heart sank.She followed the long corridor, every step heavier than the last. The doors to the conference hall opened——and applause erupted.Lilian froze.All the head doctors were seated. Senior surgeons. Executives. Administrators. Faces filled with admiration and curiosity.“Doctor Lilian Brook,” the head doctor announced proudly, “please come forward.”She walked in slowly, her pulse racing.“Congratulations!”“You w

    Lilian ran.Her footsteps echoed loudly against the sterile hospital floors, each sound striking her nerves like a warning bell. Every corridor she turned into felt wrong. Every shadow looked alive.Men in black suits appeared at every turn.Ethan’s men.Checking rooms. Blocking exits. Speaking into earpieces.Her chest tightened.He’s locked the hospital.Her lungs burned as she slipped through a side corridor meant only for staff. Her vision blurred from exhaustion, sweat soaking into her collar. She had stood for hours in the operating room, fought death with shaking hands, and now her body was finally demanding rest.But rest was a luxury she didn’t have.If Ethan caught her now, there would be no explanations. No mercy.She spotted a narrow sign ahead:— UNDERGROUND PARKING —Hope flared briefly.She turned sharply and descended the ramp, her legs trembling with every step. The smell of oil and metal filled the air. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears.Just get out. Just disappea

    The blood wouldn’t stop. It sprayed. Poured. Rushed like a broken dam. Lilian’s vision blurred. Her head spun. Her chest tightened. Her breath caught in her throat— It’s over, she thought. Voices echoed from somewhere far away: “Dr. Lilian!” “Do something!” “Pressure! Pressure now!” But she no longer heard them. Her mind slipped into darkness, swallowed by panic, fatigue, and the overwhelming smell of iron. Until— A soft whisper pierced the chaos. “You are a champion, Mom… I vote for you.” Aiden’s voice. Clear. Strong. Innocent. Then another—gentle, brave: “You are not an ordinary doctor, Mum. You’re a fighter… you fight for life.” Aria. Her little girl. Her heartbeat. Her children. Her world. Her reason for surviving. Another flash—Aiden again: “No doctor is as brave as you. You’re the best, Mom.” And then— A memory. She saw herself kissing their foreheads that morning, whispering, “I’ll come home safe.” Something ignited inside her. Hope. Fire. A mother

  • Her Return, His Regret   EPISODE 15 — BLOOD ON HER HANDS

    Lilian’s mind went blank. A thousand voices rushed past her but none reached her. Nurses shouted. A stretcher rolled. Footsteps echoed. Alarms screamed through the corridor. But she heard nothing. She felt nothing. Her body moved on instinct, pushing Chairman Lawson toward the operating room with trembling hands. The world around her shifted like a blurry fog, as though she was walking underwater. Lord… help me. Her soft whisper dissolved in the chaos. Just as she reached the OR doors, two shadows stepped in front of her. Lawson’s wife—icy eyes, flawless diamonds, a woman who looked like she had never been told “no” in her life. And beside her… Her son. The cruel one. The one people feared more than his father. The one whose name alone could make a city tremble.He stepped closer, lowering his voice so only she could hear. “If my father dies…” His breath touched her ear. “Then forget about leaving this hospital alive.” Lilian didn’t flinch. Not because she was fearless
