Love Left on the Operating Table Chapter 9
[I felt sorry for him back then and tipped him so much money during his livestream.][How can a man be this shameless? Get a job like everyone else! Scamming people for money is disgusting.][The university was right to expel him. Someone like that has no place in grad school.]Plenty of people who thought they were doing justice took things offline, too.They found where Thomas lived and showed up every day with rotten eggs.His landlord couldn't take it anymore and kicked him out, even if it meant giving up the security deposit.After Evelyn resigned, she sold the apartment that had once been our home and transferred every cent to my account."Arthur, I lost my job. I gave you all the money, too. Everyone online is tearing me apart now. Does that make you feel better?"The Evelyn standing in front of me no longer had that bright, confident air she used to carry. The dark circles under her eyes made her look more than ten years older."You got what you deserved," I said coldl

After that, Evelyn seemed to have lost her mind.Every day, she showed up downstairs at Dad's home and waited from morning until night.When she brought breakfast, I didn't waste it. I handed it to the sanitation worker nearby.The flowers went to the neighbors.As for the luxury goods and gold jewelry, I didn't pretend to be above it. I accepted every last thing and still refused to speak to her.When Evelyn realized I wasn't going to soften, she tried everything else she could think of.Gifts. Long letters. Even mutual friends sent in as messengers.During that time, she didn't let Thomas off either.Thomas's written test scores hadn't been especially high back then, but he had been clever. For months before the interviews, he kept finding reasons to appear in front of Evelyn.He played the poor small-town boy fighting for an education. He fed stray cats where she could see him. He created one chance encounter after another.After enough of those moments, Evelyn developed a

Evelyn hung up, then called the second number. Then the third.The answers were all the same.Same setup. Same excuse. Same ruined families left behind.Evelyn looked at the boy she had once been so determined to protect, and nausea twisted through her stomach.For a man who had lied with every breath, she had walked out while her husband's life hung by a thread.Worse, she had pushed him even deeper into pain with her own hands."Get out."She forced the words through clenched teeth.Evelyn threw Thomas out while he cried and made a scene. After that, she got in her car and drove straight to Dad's apartment complex.She bought a pile of vitamins and supplements and stacked them outside the door until they looked like a small mountain. Then, she rang the doorbell.Dad opened the door. The moment he saw her, his face turned cold, and he moved to shut the door."What are you doing here? You're not welcome.""Wait."Evelyn blocked the door with one hand, her voice tight and p

"Did you settle everything with her?" he asked. I gave a quiet hum and took the broom from Dad's hand."Dad, I might need to stay with you for a while."Dad gave me a look. "You're my son. You don't need permission to come home."He came back with a bowl of warm chicken soup and pressed it into my hands."And you need this. You've lost too much weight after surgery. Eat more and get some strength back."My eyes burned. I almost cried, but I only lowered my head and murmured an answer.-Meanwhile, Evelyn and Thomas were in the middle of a blowout.Evelyn yanked her arm out of his grip in disgust. She used so much force that Thomas stumbled back and hit the door.A neighbor opened her door at the noise.Thinking Evelyn had gotten physical with her husband, she hurried over to help Thomas up."Couples fight. That's normal. Still, you can't let it get physical."When she turned and saw Thomas's face, the rest of her lecture died in her throat. She awkwardly pulled her hand b

I looked at Evelyn coldly and waited for her to pick up the file.Thomas panicked first and reached for it."Don't touch it!" Evelyn snapped, then picked up the file and started reading.The farther she got, the more her anger drained away. Shock took its place first, then a pale, stunned disbelief."You faked this, didn't you?" Evelyn's voice shook. "Technology is so advanced now. Photos can be altered."Then she met my half-smiling gaze and fell silent.Maybe she had finally remembered how quickly she had blamed me when Thomas claimed people were messaging him and calling him a homewrecker.Why hadn't she wondered if that might be fake, too?Under Evelyn's wavering trust, the color slowly returned to Thomas's face."Professor, Mr. Wells has never liked me. It's all fake. Please don't let him fool you."He clung to Evelyn's arm, his voice growing softer and weaker.I let out a cold laugh at the sight."I have evidence. Does he?"Evelyn, that innocent student you felt so s

The lock clicked, and Thomas walked in with his arm around Evelyn.The happiness on both their faces froze the second they saw me."What are you doing here?" Evelyn asked.I held the suitcase by my side. "It's my home. Am I not allowed back?"Her face cooled at once. "You couldn't call first? And now you're standing there taking shots at me?"Her gaze dropped to the suitcase. "What, are you running away from home? You're almost 30. Aren't you a little old for this?"I gave a short laugh. "You saw the divorce papers. You cheated first, so the car and the apartment stay with me."Evelyn didn't react. Thomas, however, went pale."Mr. Wells, how could you do that? Professor Pritchard and I are innocent. You're the one I saw a few days ago..."He clapped a hand over his mouth. "I didn't mean to say that. I just..."The way he trailed off made Evelyn's face go cold."What did you see?" she asked."I saw Mr. Wells at a bar, playing some kind of kissing game with a few women. M
