Chapter 4

Author: Leaf of Fall
I slowly placed my fork down.

“Since Jack wants my spot and my research, just take them.”

The few of them were momentarily stunned, but they were quickly replaced by pleased looks.

Zoe cocked an eyebrow smugly.

“Good that you know your place. From now on, we’re a family.”

I took out the document that I had prepared from my bag and tossed it on the dining table.

“This is my resignation letter as well as the withdrawal application for my research.”

Peter and Bonnie were both stunned.

Zoe’s expression froze before she yelled anxiously, “Ethan, you’re insane! Why are you ruining your own future?”

I ridiculed, “Jack’s not afraid of killing himself with a scalpel. Why does he need someone else to do his job?

“Let him handle all these complex cardiovascular surgeries. His achievements would be well-deserved.”

Jack looked anxious. His eyes darted around frantically.

He desperately pleaded, “Dr. Scott, I shouldn’t have asked for that. Please, don’t resign!”

Actually, he was afraid that no one would help him write his thesis and do his surgery for him.

Zoe protected Jack as she roared at me.

“Ethan, I’m warning you, without the Anderson family’s connection, you will never survive in the healthcare industry!”

I sneered and interrupted her fiercely.

“You’re not the only woman who can be my bride.”

After I said that, I left the suffocating Anderson family house without any hesitation.

It was chaos after I slammed the doors shut. Inside, they cursed and yelled.

At 9 a.m. the next day, the sun was shining brightly on the city hall.

I arrived there on time. Lily was wearing a white dress as she stood on the stairs with loving eyes.

She was holding her ID tightly while shaking in excitement.

“Ethan, I’ve waited for so long for you,” she said through tears.

After our marriage certificate was stamped, we were married.

I left the hall with our new marriage certificate and I finally felt a little relieved.

Ten minutes later, Lily sent a photo of our marriage certificate into the hospital group chat that had two thousand employees.

She added a smug caption: First day of marriage with Dr. Scott.

Everyone was shocked by the news. The group chat kept buzzing.

[Oh my God! Dr. Scott’s married, and the bride isn’t Dr. Anderson!]

[You’re awesome, Dr. Johnson! Happy marriage to you!]

Within two minutes, my phone was buzzing violently.

Zoe broke down as she kept sending me angry voice messages.

[Ethan, how dare you marry someone else?! Get back here!]

  • I Tossed Away My Doctor Wife   Chapter 10

    One year later, Lily and I had a wedding in a garden with all of our friends and relatives. The breeze blew through Lily’s veil. The wedding was warm and romantic. All of my ex-colleagues showed up to congratulate me. Everyone was toasting at the dinner table, and they were chatting among themselves. “It’s great that Ethan left the Anderson family. He’s living such a good life now.” “That’s right. Now, the Anderson family is struggling to sustain their basic needs.”The colleagues looked at me as I smiled on the face, and all of them felt happy for me. I held a mic and stood on the stage. My speech was simple. With teary eyes, I turned to look at Lily. “When I was treated like trash by others, you held my hand without any hesitation.“I will give you a good life till death do us part.” The applause was thundering. Lily covered her mouth as tears trickled down her cheeks. At the same time, on the street outside of our wedding venue, Zoe passed by the hotel after a

    The rain was extremely heavy. Zoe held the letter with the two-million-dollar demand as she sat in the puddle and sobbed loudly. Rain mixed with tears and trickled into her mouth. It tasted extremely bitter. She finally understood that she no longer deserved me. She was overwhelmed with despair, and she did not even have the strength to stand up. In order to pay the huge compensation fees to me and the patient’s family members, the Anderson family was at their wits’ end. They had no choice but to sell their mansion located in the city center at a lower price. They had also pawned all of their branded bags and jewelry. The three of them defeatedly moved into a dark, damp, old apartment. The paint was peeling off and the apartment smelled of mold. The living conditions were hell compared to their previous mansion. Bonnie could not stand the sudden drop in prestige. One moment, she was the wife of a hospital CEO, the next moment, she was doing house chores. In just a

    Two days later, the health department’s report was officially published. Zoe was openly criticized as the barrage of evidence was laid out.Her medical license was immediately revoked, and she would never pursue a career in healthcare again. The security guards threw her personal items out of the hospital and got rid of her. The other doctors in her department were delighted. No one took sympathy on her. “I didn’t like her for a very long time. She always took Dr. Scott’s work as her own.”Jack’s license was revoked too as he had participated in the forgery and had attempted to flee. He was blacklisted by the entire industry. Not even a rural clinic dared to take him in. They both got endings that they deserved. Peter was dismissed from the hospital because of his involvement in Zoe’s forgery. His retirement benefits were taken away, and his lifelong achievements went down the drain. Shouts could be heard from within the Anderson family house. After losing everyth

    “Get out of my way!” I shouted coldly. I strode toward the operating table and pushed Zoe, who was still in a daze, aside. Zoe stumbled backward before falling onto the floor. I took over the lead surgeon position with brute force and stared intently at the patient’s open chest.“Equipment! Suture!” I started barking out fierce instructions. Lily passed me the suture needle immediately. My hands worked quickly from my muscle memory and my excellent skills. The motion was so quick that no one could follow what I was doing. There was not a movement that did not serve any purpose. Within three minutes, I managed to locate the bleeding spot and successfully stitched it back. The hemostat was placed at the right spot, and the blood was immediately stopped. The loud beeping sound from the vital sign machine finally stopped. The blood pressure slowly rose and I managed to save the patient. The nurses surrounding me gasped as they looked stunned. “Dr. Scott’s surgical

  • I Tossed Away My Doctor Wife   Chapter 6

    It was a sunny morning at Wellness Hospital. I peacefully put on my brand-new coat as the chief physician. When I was making my rounds, a few experienced experts nodded at my diagnosis and treatment plan. “Dr. Scott’s model in post-surgical treatment is great. It’s basically worth being in the textbooks.”“He handles all these complicated illnesses so perfectly. Indeed, he’s a rising star.”My new colleagues were not stingy with their praises as they agreed in unison. I was over the moon. I no longer needed to be used by the Anderson family anymore, and I no longer had to endure Zoe’s bossy instructions.However, it was immensely tense in the neighboring hospital’s operating room.Zoe forced herself to walk to the lead surgeon position as her breathing raced. Blood drained out of her face as she looked at the complicated condition that the patient had under the surgical lights. Her hand that was holding the scalpel was trembling violently, causing the blade to shake.

  • I Tossed Away My Doctor Wife   Chapter 5

    I read the group chat indifferently in my car as I ignored Zoe’s fruitless rants. I scrolled and blocked everyone from the Anderson family. In the meantime, I deleted all of their contacts too. The past ten years were tossed away like they were trash. I felt very happy. Lily slammed on the gas pedal and brought me to the best hospital in the city, Wellness Hospital. It was ranked number one of all hospitals in the state, and it was a lot more prestigious than the hospital that Peter used to work at. The human resource director, Louie Spiegel, waited personally at the lobby for me with a fawning smile on his face. “Dr. Scott, we’ve completed all necessary onboarding processes, and all approvals have been obtained without any difficulties.” They managed to transfer my research too. In the hospital CEO’s office, Ted Johnson poured a cup of hot tea for me personally and patted my shoulder. “The Anderson family is a bunch of idiots. Why did they make such a talented su
