Chapter 8

Author: Mini Phoenix
Andrea used her connections to drop all charges against Natalie and get her released from the police station.

On the morning of the third day, Natalie went straight to Andrea's office at the hospital. She was carrying a grimy burlap sack that was greasy and filthy. It was the kind used to collect old plastic bottles.

"Dr. Cohen, I've brought Colin's things." Natalie walked up to the mahogany desk, her face devoid of emotion.

Gripping the bottom of the sack, she flipped it over and dumped ever

  • She Pretended She Couldn't See Me Die   Chapter 11

    Eugene was truly backed into a corner now.The night before the police were due to question him, he attacked the guard watching him and broke out, slipping into the hospital. He abducted me while I was fast asleep.He dragged me to the underground construction site behind the hospital, where they were expanding the basement. When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by the smell of wet cement and rebar."Hey, blind bat. Since I'm going to prison anyway, I'm taking you down with me!"Eugene had an 80-pound sledgehammer used on the site thrown over his shoulder. He knew Andrea was on her way and wanted us all to die together.He started swinging the sledgehammer, slamming it into a load-bearing column that hadn't fully set. The building work wasn't finished, so taking out just a few columns triggered a chain reaction. The ground shook violently, and overhead came the horrifying sound of concrete cracking apart.Steel and concrete started crashing down. The floor beneath us rolled l

  • She Pretended She Couldn't See Me Die   Chapter 10

    After being chased out of the hospital ward, Eugene found himself on the brink of ruin. He faced accusations of attempted murder and the loss of his medical license.Backed into a corner, he snapped. In desperation, he secretly contacted over a dozen shady media outlets and planned a revenge stunt.It all happened at an annual medical forum press conference hosted by Andrea. In the audience sat hundreds of media outlets and top figures from the medical community, while Andrea was up on stage, giving a speech.Right then, Eugene suddenly burst in from the side door, ramming a wheelchair straight onto the stage. I was strapped into that wheelchair."Everyone, look closely!" Eugene pointed at Andrea and started slandering her. "Andrea Cohen pretends to be some saintly doctor, but in private, she illegally imprisoned a disabled man! This is her ex-husband. She tortured him until he turned into a fool, just so she could steal his assets!"The reporters in the audience went wild. Endles

  • She Pretended She Couldn't See Me Die   Chapter 9

    Andrea went into a kind of frantic overdrive trying to make things up to me.She gave the hospital a hard order to buy the best equipment for every department, just so they could treat my hands and legs. She even paid an outrageous amount to hire a top private chef to customize my meals.At lunchtime, she personally brought in a plate of sliced, top-grade beef to my bedside. It was cooked to a perfect medium, tender and dripping with juice."Colin, time to eat," she said.She crouched beside the bed almost humbly and picked up a fork. Then, she speared a piece of beef and held it up to my lips. "Come on, open up. You used to love this beef."I smelled raw meat. In the past, the only time I smelled meat like this was when it was rotting in the trash. I jerked my hand up and slapped the plate away."I don't want it! It's not cooked! I'll get an upset tummy if I eat that!"I covered my nose in disgust. Then, like I was a thief, I reached into the pocket of my hospital gown and pull

Natalie walked up to the mahogany desk, her face devoid of emotion.Gripping the bottom of the sack, she flipped it over and dumped everything out onto the desk. A harsh clatter echoed through the room.Several reeking plastic bottles tumbled across the surface. Mixed in with them was an old tape recorder, so beat-up its outer casing was about to fall apart, and a few pieces of thick cardboard, punctured all over with ballpoint pen holes.Andrea's lip curled in disgust. Natalie sneered, picked up the busted tape recorder, and pressed play. A burst of cheap, staticky noise came out of the speaker. Then, my childish, stutterin

    The impact led to a severe intracranial infection. By that night, my fever had shot up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and I slipped into a half-conscious state.I lay on the hospital bed, burning up like a furnace. My dreams were filled with scenes from the earthquake years ago."Watch out for the rocks! Run!" My eyes remained shut as my hands flailed in the air, trying to shove away those crushing hallucinations.It was late, and the hallway outside was dead quiet. Then, slowly and silently, the door to my hospital ward was pushed open.Eugene slipped in, dressed in a nurse's uniform. In his hand was a syringe filled with a clear liquid. It was a high-concentration potassium chloride solution.Once pushed into a vein, it would trigger instant cardiac arrest. He wanted to make it look like there'd been a medical accident."Why won't you just die, you blind freak?" He ground out the words as he leaned over my bed. "Andrea's eyes will always be fixed on you for as long as you're alive.

  • She Pretended She Couldn't See Me Die   Chapter 6

    Andrea completely lost it. She refused to accept that I, the once brilliant prodigy, had really turned into a useless idiot.Using her authority as hospital director, she forced my transfer into the top-tier VIP rehab ward. The room was padded everywhere, but to me, it still felt like a cage.One day, she came to me with a pile of medical-grade silicone pads and suture threads already threaded through needles."Colin, get up." She yanked me up from the bed.She grabbed my right hand, which was still in a thick cast, and forcefully shoved a thin suture needle between my fingers, which were left exposed."You're a genius, aren't you? Your muscle memory still exists." Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled. "Do the sutures. Sew them together! You can hold a scalpel steady—you have to be able to!"She was trying to use this forced, almost violent method to drag that surgical genius back out of me. But I couldn't see, and my fingers were useless.The needle was slippery. I jabbed
