Chapter 10

Lindsey's words pushed the man over the edge.

"None of my business? I'll show you what my business is! I'll kill you both today, you sick pair!" he roared, grabbing the sturdy broom handle and charging straight at Michael.

The strike was sudden and brutal, landing squarely on Michael's abdomen. Michael hadn't expected it and let out a muffled groan, bending over from the impact.

Lindsey screamed in terror. The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't stop. It was as if he were pouring out all his pent‑up rage at once.

He yanked the broom handle free and brought it down on Lindsey again and again. "How dare you fool around with another man and humiliate me! Both of you, die!"

It all happened in a blur. People screamed and scattered in panic. By the time I snapped out of it, I was already on my phone, calling the police and an ambulance. Supermarket security rushed over, and it took several of them working together to finally pin the man down.

I rushed forward, crouching to check

  • The Day the Hospital Made a Killer   Chapter 9

    Maybe most couples in this world were like Michael and me. We could face hardship together, but we could never share success.After saying that, I didn't bother looking at whether his face held regret or embarrassment. I turned, swiped my keycard, and walked into the neighborhood.…It was an ordinary weekend afternoon when I ran into someone I knew all too well. I was pushing a shopping cart through the supermarket when my eyes happened to land on Lindsey, not far ahead.She had lost a lot of weight. The deliberately cute, flirtatious air she once carried was completely gone. Her face held the weariness and bitterness life had worn into her, and her clothes were plain.Next to her stood a stocky man in a tight T-shirt, giving off a rough, intimidating air. They seemed to be quietly arguing over what groceries to buy.Lindsey saw me too. Her eyes first widened in surprise, then quickly hardened into unmasked jealousy and resentment.Her gaze swept over my outfit before she yan

    My colleague hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that when he had nothing to do, he completely fell apart, drowning his days in alcohol. Somehow, he later found out about you and even bragged that the two of you were so in love, he was certain you'd come back."I only gave a faint smile and didn't respond. In love? What a ridiculous joke.A while later, I ran into Michael at my apartment building after work.He looked far more haggard than before. The confidence he used to carry was gone. His clothes were sloppy, and he carried a bag that seemed to have some fruit in it."Gwen!" His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he hurried over, forcing a familiarity that felt a little too forced."I came to see your mom. I heard she's recovering well. I brought some fruit for her…"I stepped back to avoid the bag and looked at him coldly. "Mr. Jones, are we that close? You really don't need to bother."Michael froze. A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, but it was quickly re

    Lindsey grabbed Michael's hand, sobbing uncontrollably. "You promised you'd always protect me! You said no matter what trouble I got into, you'd cover for me! How can you just deny it now? Say something, Michael!"At that moment, all Michael wanted was to shake her off. His eyes were icy, filled with disgust. "You're insane. I can't believe I ever trusted you."Lindsey snapped back, refusing to be cowed. "No, I'm the one who was blind! You used me, and now that things have gone wrong, you're trying to shove all the blame on me! Michael, you're not even human!"In front of everyone, they went at each other like bitter rivals, shouting and pointing fingers. The fragile illusion of their past closeness fell away, leaving only selfishness and scheming exposed.Jeremy's expression darkened as he watched the chaos unfold.The lead officer waved his hand and yelled, "Enough! Stop yelling!"Several officers stepped forward and pulled the two apart. "Dr. Michael Jones, Ms. Lindsey Clark,

    Mom turned to Michael and looked at him with clear disappointment. "Michael, do you even remember how you proposed to Gwen?"Michael stiffened. He didn't dare meet her gaze.However, she didn't let him off. "You sword you'd protect Gwen, no matter what. And now? You're here cheating with this…"She paused, searching for the right word to describe Lindsey, then continued, "Cheating alone would have been bad enough, but you went even further. You worked together with her to frame Gwen for murder. Where's your conscience?"As she stood there to defend me, emotion pricked at my senses. Michael might have overlooked such steadfast loyalty, but Mom remembered it all on my behalf.Michael was left speechless. His face shifted from pale to sallow, and he averted his eyes, too guilty to face Mom, let alone me.Lindsey finally lost control. "You're lying! You're her mother, of course you'd cover for her! You two are teaming up to fool everyone!"As Jeremy took in the chaos, his gaze moved

    I calmly turned to Lindsey and asked, "Lindsey, was it really me who told you to get the medication? Are you sure?"Lindsey nodded firmly. "I swear on my integrity! I didn't lie. You were the one who told me to get it! You're the one who killed Mr. Lockman Senior!"I let out a soft sigh. "It looks like you don't have much integrity after all.""Gwen!" Michael cut in sharply. "What do you mean by that? At a time like this, are you seriously trying to push all the blame onto an intern? Where are your professional ethics?"Lindsey immediately echoed him, crying even harder. "Dr. Monroe, I know you're jealous that I'm close to Dr. Jones, and you're still bitter about it. But you're already divorced! No matter how angry you are or how much you hate me, you can't mess with someone's life!"I watched them echo each other and calmly said, "Lindsey, you're absolutely right. As medical professionals, we must always hold life in the highest regard."Then I turned to Jeremy, who was still tr
