Chapter 107

Author: Hello Spring
His words were both a reminder and a warning. Without sparing Victoria another glance, Jack turned and walked away.

Victoria bit her lip as she watched his retreating back, her heart filled with relief. Thankfully, she had agreed to work with Xena earlier. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do now.

With that problem resolved, the heavy weight pressing on her chest finally lifted, and her mood brightened. But when she thought back to the restaurant earlier, when Liz had clearly seen her yet deliberately ignored her, irritation flickered in her eyes.

If Liz wanted to make her uncomfortable, then Liz shouldn’t expect things to go smoothly for herself either.

Victoria pulled out her phone and dialed a number, her voice sharp with arrogance. “I didn’t give you all that money just for some worthless online post. You have three days. I want Liz completely ruined!”

She ended the call and glanced back toward the restaurant, the corner of her lips curling into a cold smile.

    After hanging up the call, Liz set her phone aside, went to the bathroom to wash up, and soon fell asleep.The next morning, not long after she arrived at the hospital room, the family from the day before came by to thank her.“Ms. Smith, it’s all thanks to you,” the woman said earnestly. “We went to apologize to Dr. Sanders this morning, and he agreed to do my father’s surgery. It’s scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.”Surprise flickered across Liz’s eyes before she smiled. “Dr. Sanders just likes to act tough, but he has a soft heart. This time you need to make sure your father fasts. No food, no water. And don’t ever lie to the doctors or nurses again.”“We know,” the woman said quickly. “We wouldn’t dare now. We had no idea eating before anesthesia could be so dangerous. Just thinking about it scares us.”After chatting a little longer, they left. Liz walked them out, closed the door, and went back to sit beside Mrs. Smith Sr.’s bed.Mrs. Smith Sr. studied her with amused inter

    William lifted a brow. “People tell me that a lot.”Liz stared at him, speechless. The way he said it almost sounded like he was proud of it.He caught the look on her face, and a flicker of amusement crossed his eyes, gone so quickly she didn’t notice.“Dr. Sanders,” Liz said, steadying her voice, “when I spoke with that family, I learned they came all the way from a small town just to get an appointment with you. They spent everything they had to be here. They don’t have the money to transfer hospitals, and they don’t trust anyone else to do the surgery. That’s why the husband lost control and pulled a knife.”She drew in a breath, her tone softening. “I don’t think they’re bad people. They just didn’t understand how dangerous it was to eat before anesthesia. If they’d known, they never would have done it. If they came to you with a sincere apology, would you give the patient another chance?”His answer was immediate. “No.”Liz frowned. “Are your principles really so important?

    “Alright.”The woman hurried toward William’s office, with Liz following close behind.When they reached the doorway, they saw her husband inside, his face twisted with fury as he waved a knife at William. The woman went pale.“Honey! Put the knife down!”At the sound of her voice, the man spun around. When he saw her, his expression darkened. “Who told you to come out here? Get back inside!”She shook her head frantically. “Please, put the knife down. Dad sent me. You’re breaking the law threatening a doctor like this.”“I don’t care about the law!” he snapped, his grip tightening on the handle. “All I care about is him agreeing to operate on Dad!”Her voice cracked as she pleaded. “And what about Dad, if you end up in prison? This whole situation is already our fault. And listen—this attorney is here to help us. She promised to talk to Dr. Sanders for us. Waving that knife won’t get you anywhere.”The man’s eyes flicked toward Liz, cold and sharp. “What attorney? She’s in thi

    Seeing that someone inside had finally responded, Liz kept her tone calm. “The moment he pulled out that knife, he already broke the law. If things get worse, it could even become a criminal offense. There are many ways to resolve this. Resorting to something this extreme is not the answer.”Her words fell into silence again. For a long moment, there was nothing. Then the same voice spoke once more, sharper this time. “How do we even know you’re really a lawyer? And how do we know you’re here to help us and not siding with that doctor?”Liz paused, then replied evenly, “Plenty of people saw him storm into the office with that knife. The police have already been called. If you don’t talk him down now, it will be too late by the time they arrive. He’s your family. Think about that.”She didn’t add anything more. If they were determined to go down this path, there was little she could do. Even then, she felt a tightness in her chest. Inside that office, William was sitting across f

    Liz’s chest tightened. “Did you call the police?”“We did, but the station is a little far from here. It’ll probably take them at least ten minutes to get here.”“So you’re just letting Dr. Sanders face that man alone for ten minutes?”“Well… at first the man didn’t have the knife out. It was only when Dr. Sanders refused again to operate on his father that he pulled it. The moment Dr. Sanders saw the knife, he locked the office door from the inside.”Liz’s worry deepened. The man was clearly unstable, and the longer William stayed in there with him, the greater the danger. But with the door locked, she had no way of getting inside to help. Barging in might even set the man off further and make things worse.She drew a deep breath. “What about the patient’s other family? Does this man have a wife or children?”“He does, but they’re all hiding in the patient’s room. They clearly approve of what he’s doing. When we tried to get them to come out and calm him down, they refused to sa

    That evening, Michael finally returned to the villa. The moment he stepped through the door, he saw Kimberly sitting rigidly on the sofa, her face dark and stormy.He paused mid-step as he changed his shoes, already guessing that her talk with Liz had gone badly.Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Kimberly snapped, “Liz refused to drop the lawsuit. I argued with her, and I didn’t even give her the bank card. You can take it yourself.”Michael glanced at the card on the table, his voice low. “The company’s swamped. I don’t have time. You can go again tomorrow. If she still won’t agree, we’ll deal with it then.”Kimberly let out a bitter laugh. “I’m not going. Why should I be the one humiliating myself while she freezes me out? And you—always busy, always buried in work. When has the company ever not been busy? Maybe when it finally collapses, you’ll have all the free time you want.”“Shut up!” Michael snapped, his face red with anger. “All you do is shop and complain. If the comp
