My Wife's a Doctor and a Killer

As soon as I sent my location, a bodyguard slapped my phone out of my hand.

A man and a woman stood at the hotel entrance, staring at me with mocking smiles.

"Well, well. If it isn't the famous Finn Kirkland. What's wrong? Money can't save your mother now?"

Wendy Lowell is the only person in the world who can perform my mom's surgery.

Money has lost its value.

She hated my mom now. No amount of money could change that.

I clenched my fists. "You're the one who cheated, Wendy. My mom was just protecting me. Are you really going to stand by and watch her die?"

The hotel belonged to the Lowell family.

Within seconds, dozens of bodyguards surrounded me.

Several employees stood off to the side as they laughed at my miserable state.

"Dr. Lowell, aren't you the heir to the Lowell family? Since when do people like him get to beg you for treatment?"

"Seriously. He even laid a hand on your assistant. He got what he deserved."

I stared at Wendy as she nestled in Hayden Sterling's arms.

The sight took me back to the past. Wendy used to hold me the same way.

She promised that I would never have to worry about sickness, old age, or death. She was a miracle doctor. She would protect my entire family.

Yet now, my mom was fighting for her life on an operating table, and Wendy couldn't care less.

With every passing second, my mom was a step closer to death.

I was about to beg her to let me return to the hospital when my mom's attending physician came running over.

"Mr. Kirkland, please. Just apologize to Dr. Lowell. Your mother is about to suffocate!"

Wendy smirked.

I silently closed my eyes, then opened them again.

I took a deep breath before saying, "Wendy, I'm—"

"Don't apologize to me. The person you owe an apology to is Hayden," she spat, cutting me off before I could finish.

I stared at her in disbelief.

"What? You want me to apologize to the homewrecker?"

My mind went blank.

I treated Wendy with the utmost respect and pampered her beyond reason for five years.

After all, she was the one who stood by me when my career was at its lowest point ten years ago.

I still remember how her eyes sparkled as she looked at me that night. "Finn, I want to grow old with you."

Back then, I was building my business from nothing. She wasn't the world-famous doctor she was today, either.

We had struggled through some hard years together. That was why I'd always felt like I owed her.

"Apologize to Hayden, and I'll let your mother live."

I slowly lifted my head when I heard her words.

My lips trembled. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that about you."

Hayden finally laughed.

"People like you never learn until someone teaches you a lesson," he said, turning to Wendy. "Are you really going to let him off that easily? It makes sense, though. You gave me 30 million to invest back then. You probably stopped loving him a long time ago."

I widened my eyes. "30 million?"
