Chapter 3

The nurse who wheeled Isabella out began tearing up. "I can testify that Dr. Robinson made the wrong judgment and didn't carry out the procedure properly…

"At that time, we saw the readings and realized something was wrong. We did try to stop her, but Dr. Robinson stubbornly went ahead…"

Isabella's sobs grew louder. "My baby… My poor baby! I went through so much to keep this baby safe for all these months, just so I could meet him. I didn't expect my best friend to kill him!"

Dr. Miller, the assistant surgeon, was also dressed in surgical scrubs and said, "As a medical professional, I can testify that Dr. Robinson made a mistake during the procedure, leading to this tragedy.

"I failed to stop her, so I share the blame as well. I'm willing to accept the punishment I deserve."

Isabella immediately tugged at Dr. Miller's sleeve. "No, Dr. Miller. If you hadn't stood your ground in the end, it might not have been just my baby. I might even…"

Isabella didn't finish her sentence and continued sobbing.

Her words immediately sent the crowd into an uproar.

"Not only did she kill the baby, but she almost killed the mother too?"

"How is she any different from a murderer?"

"Kayla Robinson is a quack! She's a monster!"

"She's a murderer! We'll make her pay for it!"

"That's right! We should make her pay for it!"

Magnus held Isabella's hand, which was trembling from her sobs. He said, "Isabella, this isn't your fault. You just need to focus on recovering. As for Kayla, I'll make sure she pays for what she did."

"Kill her! Kill her!" The crowd's voices pierced my heart like knives.

The nurse wheeling me was so startled that she fell to the floor.

"Isn't that Kayla Robinson? She's sitting right there!"

More than ten people turned to look at me.

I sat in the wheelchair, my head wrapped in gauze. My right leg was in a cast, and my white coat was still stained with mud from the maintenance hole and streaked with blood.

Magnus strode toward me and instantly grabbed me by the neck. "You were the one who killed my baby! I'm going to make you pay for it!"

He instantly tightened his grip, making it hard for me to breathe. I pounded at his hand and managed to pull free.

"I didn't even go into the operating room. It wasn't me!" I quickly explained.

But Isabella started sobbing. "At this point, why are you still lying to everyone? I trusted you so much! Why did you kill my baby?"

Her words pushed the crowd's rage over the edge.

"Kayla's still trying to deny it!"

"We have to teach this murderer a lesson!"

Two men rushed over. One seized my arm, and the other yanked me down from the wheelchair by the hair. My right leg, still in a cast, slammed hard against the tiled floor.

"Ah!" I let out a scream.

A searing pain shot through my fractured leg, and tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. Someone brought their foot down on my cast, and it cracked loudly. The pain was so unbearable that my vision started going black.

"Go on! Keep pretending!"

"You killed someone's baby, and now you're acting like you're the victim?"

Someone grabbed me by the hair on the back of my head and smashed my face into the tiled floor. The stitched wound on my forehead struck the floor, and blood streamed down my nose bridge.

Things were about to escalate when we heard a stern voice ring out. The police officer who had just taken my statement hurried over to intervene.

"Stop that! This is a hospital!"

Isabella was stunned. She clearly hadn't expected to see a police officer at the hospital. But very quickly, she came to her senses and immediately broke down, complaining to the officer.

"Officer, you're finally here. This quack made a mistake during the procedure, causing me to lose my baby! Seize her and lock her up!"

The accusations started again. One by one, everyone told the officer that I was the culprit responsible for the medical incident.

Hearing that, the officer looked perplexed. "Are you saying Dr. Robinson made a mistake during the surgery earlier, causing Ms. White to lose her baby?"

"That's right!"

Hearing that, the police officer snorted. "That's absurd. The real murderer couldn't have been Dr. Robinson at all!"

He then pulled out his phone and showed it to everyone. "Take a good look. Do you see that?"

After seeing what was on the screen, everyone's expressions changed at once, and the entire place fell silent.

I lowered my head, a faint smile slowly forming on my lips.

The scrolling text popped up one last time.

[Once the truth is out, Isabella's affair will be exposed.]

[I can't wait to see her husband's reaction when he finds out the truth.]

[The show has only just begun.]
