Chapter 2

The assistants and nurses couldn't help laughing when they heard me, exchanging looks of helpless disbelief before they wheeled David and Roxanne into the operating room.

I then brought in a surgical camera and instructed one of the nurses to take photos from every angle.

Lying on the bed, David turned at the sound. "What are you doing? Why are you taking photos in here? This is an invasion of privacy! I'll sue you, you hear me?"

A cold laugh stirred in my chest, though my expression stayed calm. "Everything on the operating table needs to be documented. It helps when consulting with my superior for the best surgical plan. But if you don't want that, then forget about it."

I made a show of putting the camera away and turned to leave.

Seeing that I was leaving, Roxanne called out anxiously, "Wait! We're fine with it!"

Sprawling across David in an absurdly awkward position, she lowered her head and urged him, "David, we need to get ourselves out of this position as soon as possible! If Scarlett, that miserable woman, walks in tomorrow and catches us like this, it'll be a disaster!"

David tried to keep up his bravado act. "Disaster? What disaster? All the properties are under my name. When the time comes, I'll just divorce Scarlett and leave her with nothing! But you… Why does your voice sound so much like hers?"

He turned his head toward me, his body still pinned and unable to move, yet his mouth refused to stay shut. A flicker of suspicion danced in his eyes.

A jolt ran through me. I had gone to great lengths to disguise myself, biting a cotton ball to sound different, wearing a mask, and even layering several lab coats to alter my figure.

Could he have really recognized me?

Before I could think of a response, David grinned smugly. "But judging by your reaction, you're definitely not Scarlett. That woman's a lovesick fool. If she saw me with another woman, she'd throw a fit and start a fight. Seeing me like this? She probably would've passed out by now!"

Roxanne immediately let out a tinkling laugh. "Exactly, David! Remember last time I left that piece of lingerie in your car on purpose? Scarlett completely lost it. She called me that night, crying and pouring her heart out. She never realized you were with me all along!"

David chuckled, but the sudden movement tore at his trapped flesh, and he screamed in pain again.

One of the nurses rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "They're cheating and still this proud. What a disgusting pair! I feel so sorry for his wife…"

The nurses had been brought in from other departments, so none of them knew that I was the miserable woman Roxanne and David were making fun of.

David's face flushed red as he tried to defend himself through the pain.

"What do you people know? Roxanne and I are in love! Otherwise, how else would we have ended up like this? A man only gets aroused by a woman he truly loves! That's why I have no interest in getting intimate with that miserable woman I married!"

A chill ran down my spine. If I hadn't regained my memories from my previous life, I would never have guessed that the man who once claimed I was the love of his life had been scheming to steal my assets all along!

And that piece of lingerie? David had told me it belonged to his mother! Obviously, that had been a lie too. The two of them were utterly disgusting.

The hatred coursing through me burned hotter. I drew in a deep breath before saying to them, "Please lie still. I've figured out the best surgical approach."

With that, I picked up the scalpel and aimed it at the spot where their bodies were still tangled together.
