Husband’s Childhood Sweetheart Humiliated Me, He Begged Me Back Chapter 10
On the livestream, Donald and Patricia were propping up a weeping Scarlett, holding up the body of an infant for the camera.Donald jabbed his finger at the screen, bellowing."Plastic surgeon Vivian Hale -- during what was supposed to be a routine cosmetic procedure -- she sewed my daughter-in-law’s virgina shut on purpose.""My grandson... my grandson never even took a breath. What kind of monster does that?"Patricia, still wearing a back brace, collapsed to the floor, rocking back and forth, wailing."My grandson! My poor, poor grandson... killed before he ever drew breath!"Scarlett played her part to perfection -- trembling, tears streaming, the picture of devastated fragility."Dr. Hale... Garrett and I grew up together. You took him from me -- fine, I made my peace with that. But why did you have to go after my baby?""If you hate me, come after me. The baby was innocent..."She wept beautifully, a woman transformed from the crass bully she'd always been.The comments section w

Garrett started reaching out constantly -- calls, messages, always circling back to the same thing: the good old days.But those once-sweet memories felt like a slap in the face now.Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I called him, gave him an earful, and blocked his number for good.Almost immediately, an unknown number rang through.Scarlett's voice came shrieking down the line."Vivian Hale, you pathetic little leech! You're divorced and you still can't leave Garrett alone!""Let me tell you something -- he got bored of you a long time ago--""Scarlett." I cut through her tirade. "How do you think Garrett's parents would react if they found out about your little procedure?"Dead silence on the other end.Then her voice came back, louder and shriller than before."You wouldn't dare! That's patient confidentiality -- I'll sue you into the ground!""This is my last warning. Stop leading him on!"The line went dead. I exhaled slowly.I had my professional ethics. I had my boundaries.

With Mrs. Bennet handling things at home, I threw myself back into work.Ethan’s father old Dr. Aldridge adjusted my schedule and surgical roster personally, giving me flexible hours so I could take care of Sophie.I buried myself at the operating table, using my skills to give people a second chance -- patients scarred by birth defects, accidents, trauma. I rebuilt what life had broken.Thank-you letters and commendations came pouring in. In the industry, people started calling me "The Scalpel" -- the surgeon who got it right the first time, every time.It felt good to be useful again.Then one afternoon, shouting erupted from old Dr. Aldridge's office.Through the walls I caught fragments -- "affair," "compensation," "partnership" -- before Ethan stormed out, his face like stone, and slammed the door behind him.He told me what had happened. Donald and Patricia had marched into old Dr. Aldridge's office, pounding the desk, declaring that I was a tramp who'd run out on her family and

The new apartment was small -- one bedroom, one living room -- but the sunlight was good. There was a children's playground downstairs, and the hospital was just a short drive away.Ethan pushed the last suitcase through the door, sweat beading on his forehead."That should be everything. If you need anything else, just let me know -- I'll bring it over."I handed him a bottle of water."You already found me the apartment and helped me move. You've done enough -- really. Whatever else I need, I'll get it myself."He took a sip, smiling. "Come on, don't worry about it. Consider it a signing bonus from Aldridge Medical."I knew he was trying to spare my pride. No hospital perk came with this level of detail -- the soundproofing had been checked, the crib was a specific brand, and there was even a bottle warmer already set up in the kitchen.He followed my gaze and saw it too. He rubbed the back of his neck, sheepish."That was my parents, actually.""When they heard about the divorce, th

Garrett went still.Confusion first, then recognition -- his face darkened by slow, sickening degrees."You were at the hospital too?"His throat was dry. "What were you doing there?"Scarlett shot off the couch, jabbing her finger at me, her voice shrill."It was you! You and that Dr. Aldridge -- you two ganged up on me!""No wonder I went to the ER for a scratch and got chewed out in front of everyone -- and then they called the cops on us!"That was how I learned what Ethan had done that afternoon. It wasn't just a quiet word in someone's ear.He'd dressed down Garrett and Scarlett in front of every doctor, nurse, and patient in the building -- loudly, publicly, mercilessly. Wasting medical resources. Disrupting hospital operations. Then he'd called the police.In the end, Garrett had to grovel and swear it would never happen again just to avoid being detained."Ethan Aldridge..." Garrett chewed on the name, his expression black as a storm cloud."Your old classmate? The one from yo

The bang of the door echoed through the room. Every face inside swiveled toward me, their expressions priceless.They all stared at me, frozen.I didn't spare them a glance. I crossed the room in quick strides.In the crib, Sophie lay limp, too hungry to cry anymore. Her whimpers were barely audible, like a kitten mewing.I closed the bedroom door, gently lifted my daughter, and held her against my chest.Outside, a few seconds of dead silence -- then the muffled explosion of panicked whispers."Did she... did she hear?"Patricia's voice trembled. "She's not actually going to file for divorce, is she?"Donald hissed through clenched teeth. "Of course she heard -- you kicked that door in! And it's your fault, woman -- that mouth of yours!""My fault? Like any of you were being quiet?"Scarlett's voice slithered in. "Mr. Monroe, Mrs. Monroe... the way Vivian looked at me just now -- it was scary. What if she does something to my baby..."At the mention of the baby, Donald slammed his pal
