Chapter 6

Author: Song of the Past
Mike assured them, “Don’t worry, ma’am. The hospital director is a friend of my mother’s. I promise you’ll be safe. Just tell the truth, and I’ll make sure the director takes good care of you.”

“Really? Well, in that case, I’ll tell you everything.”

The two elderly women began describing what they’d seen that day.

When Derrick’s mother suffered post-surgical complications and needed urgent care, Serena was the first to rush over.

However, the moment Derrick’s mom saw her, she refused to let Serena treat her. She couldn’t speak clearly, but she kept trying to call my name.

Serena snapped, “Old lady, what’s so great about that barren woman? You like her that much?”

Derrick’s mom glared at her with hatred and forced out, “Get… out…”

Furious, Serena deliberately inserted the tube backward. The nurse, alarmed, reminded her several times. However, Serena only cursed at her.

“Are you a doctor, or am I? I’ll put it in backwards if I want to! Mind your own business!”

“Dr. Moore, what’s

    His actions in the earthquake zone had been witnessed by many, especially the two young rescue team members who spoke up for me. They reported everything they saw to our hospital leadership and the reporters.The hospital issued a public reprimand and dismissed both him and Serena.Soon, word spread through the entire medical community, and no one was willing to hire him.He became completely broken, but in my heart, there wasn’t the slightest ripple of emotion.Listening to him talk about all this, I only felt it was noise. So, I had Mike help me sell my house and car, and I moved to a rehab center overseas.My recovery went well.…Half a year later, Mike was pushing me across the lawn of the rehab center when a ragged-looking woman suddenly appeared.Her hair was matted, and she laughed uncontrollably as soon as she saw me. It was only after she spoke that I realized it was Serena.“Gwen, you didn’t expect this, did you? It was fated for me to smuggle myself here. Even he

    A few days later, Derrick returned from the disaster zone.Melissa had just brought in the divorce papers I’d asked her to prepare when Derrick walked in right after her, holding a bouquet of flowers.I noticed he had even gotten a haircut and changed into the same casual outfit he’d worn the day he confessed to me.“Sweetheart, I came to see you. I also told the director that once you recover, I’ll voluntarily step down and give you back the department director position.“From now on, I’ll be your right-hand man. Do you remember this outfit? That time, I stood inside a heart made of candles and sang to you. You were so moved that tears streamed down your face.“These flowers are also the same kind I gave you when I confessed. You told me back then you didn’t know what flowers you liked, but because I gave you these, you fell in love with them. So every anniversary, I’ve given you a big bouquet.“And remember that pasta restaurant we used to go to? You said you hoped it would sta

    “Smack!”The slap was so loud that it made my own cheek sting just hearing it.Derrick shoved the recorder into Serena’s hands and hit play. Her sobbing stopped instantly.“Serena! Why did you send a letter to the provincial hospital to report me? If you truly wanted to be with me, wouldn’t you want me to do better?!”“I was wrong. I was just scared that if you left, I wouldn’t be able to see you every day. Everything I did was because I love you!”“Smack!”Another slap.“You killed my mother out of love, too?!”“Of course. Even though her surgery was successful, at her age, she’d be stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. I was just helping her find an early release.”“Serena, your sense of morality is beyond disgusting!“Let me tell you. I’m not only not divorcing my wife, I’m sending you to prison!”Serena panicked, clutching at him in tears. “You said you loved me! You said you’d love our baby. Are you really going to let your child be born in prison?”At the

    When I opened my eyes, Derrick’s face lit up with relief. “Sweetheart, you’re awake! Thank God!”I pulled my hand out of his grip.“Don’t call me sweetheart anymore. I told you that if I survived, we’d get a divorce. You cheated, so you leave with nothing.”Tears streamed down his face as he grabbed my hand again. “I was wrong. I was so wrong!” He said, slapping himself repeatedly.“I was a fool for believing someone else. I know the truth now. We’ve been together for so many years. I can’t just let go. I’ve always loved you. Please forgive me just this once?”I frowned. “Derrick, apart from the divorce, I don’t want to talk about anything else. Get out. I’ll let you know when the papers are ready.”However, he refused to let go. “Just let me explain, please.”“You’re having a child with her. What’s left to explain?”“It’s not what you think. I always knew she had feelings for me, but I kept my distance. That day, after we argued about her, I went out to drink. I ran into h

    Serena panicked. She hadn’t expected me to still be alive, having almost succeeded just now.All she needed to do was keep Derrick from letting me get surgery, and I’d be dead for sure. Even if I somehow survived, I’d be bedridden for life.She never imagined that the best neurosurgeon from the top-tier state hospital would be here.My lead surgeon wasn’t just anyone. It was my mentor, Melissa Levine.Melissa had been my family’s neighbor for as long as I could remember. She was the reason I’d fallen in love with medicine. Back in middle school, she would take me along to the hospital where she worked. During college, she made an exception to let me observe countless surgeries.My surgical skills were already solid by the time I graduated, far beyond anything Derrick could match.Seeing Derrick frozen in place, tears welled up in Serena’s eyes, and she hurried forward. “Mr. Nelson, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t been here, she wouldn’t have tried to hurt me an
