I knew what would happen next, so I went straight to retrieve the correct medication for my mother.

By the time I reached her, Hugo "Insanely Incompetent Intern" Spencer was about to hand her a lethal dose of warfarin.

"Stop, Hugo! I don't recall assigning you to dispense medication," I called out.

His eyes avoided mine. "D-Dr. Benfort! I was just trying to help the nurses. They seemed so busy, so I thought… But isn't helping a good thing?"

I checked the drug and slammed it onto the table.

"You call this help? Administering warfarin to this patient would interact adversely with her other medication. And at this dosage? It's lethal," I snapped. "What will you do if you kill someone because of your recklessness? Can you handle the consequences at all?"

Hugo blinked, wide-eyed. "I thought a blood thinner was required after a surgery like this. I just wanted to help…"

I let out a sharp, sarcastic laugh and turned to Alex, who worked at the dispensary. "My mother just had surgery, and you didn't think to stop him from administering warfarin? Are you prepared to take responsibility if someone is harmed?"

Alex paled. "Oh God, I'm sorry! I promise I won't let anyone who shouldn't be handling our medications do our job again."

Hugo's eyes filled with tears. "B-But I was just trying to take some of the load off your back, Alex. Why are you pretending I wasn't? It's not right to gang up with a superior to bully me at work, is it?

"It's not easy to be an intern. Everyone treats us like scapegoats and cheap labor. Bullying me because I'm an intern is the worst."

A crowd began to gather, prompting Hugo to cry more openly.

Victoria arrived from the upper floor. She noticed the crowd and frowned. "Excuse me? Albert, what did this young novice do to warrant a public inquisition from someone in your position?"

My mother brightened at the sight of her. "Vivi, I'm glad to see you. This young man started it by giving me the wrong drug. That's dangerous, especially for someone as frail as I am."

"But did you actually take it, or was this just an honest mistake?" Victoria scoffed. "I don't see why anyone needs to act as if he caused irreparable damage when nothing happened. Live and let live."

Hugo raised his voice, making his sobs more pronounced. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have offended you, Dr. Benfort. Please forgive me. I'll do anything to make it up to you."

His tears quickly swayed the crowd.

"Damn. I didn't think what people say online about interns being targets of bullying was real."

"Look at him. He's genuinely upset. If you ask me, he should be let off. He's learned his lesson."

"I trust the director's judgment. She wouldn't side with him if he were actually problematic."

I smirked. "Oh, you're on his side, Victoria? Fine. Then you can supervise him from now on. If anything happens, it's on you."

"Sure, I'll take him. What's the issue?" she replied, unfazed. "Meanwhile, you should apologize for bullying him."

I rolled my eyes and ignored them.

    "Oh, that's the truth, huh? You and that bitch are going down!"The woman raised the broom and swung at them with all her strength, striking wildly without regard for where the blows landed.In the chaos, she jabbed straight into Victoria's waist. The impact forced a pained whimper from her, and she doubled over, clutching herself.Hugo screamed. The woman did not stop. She continued to rain blows on him, driven as if by years of pent-up resentment. "You cheated on me! You think I'm just going to let you get away with that, you little bitch?!"Everything happened in an instant.The crowd shouted and scattered.I forced myself out of my shock, pulled out my phone, and called the police and an ambulance.Supermarket security rushed in to subdue the woman. It took several men to pin her to the ground.I stepped forward and assessed Hugo and Victoria.Victoria's abdomen bled heavily, and she was losing consciousness. By contrast, Hugo remained fully alert. He had sustained multipl

    With that, I turned away from her and entered the apartment, swiping my keycard.Victoria might have worn a look of regret or shame. It was impossible to tell, and it was no longer my concern. I simply did not care."The world is full of couples like us, isn't it? People who can face adversity together yet cannot stay together when everything should be in their favor," I muttered.…The next time I ran into Hugo by chance, it was an ordinary weekend afternoon. I was buying groceries for the week when I spotted that incompetent bum across the aisle.He looked far more gaunt than before. He no longer seemed to care about grooming himself into a polished image, and his clothes were plain. He looked tired and embittered, like a man worn down by life who had come to resent the world.He was arguing in a low voice with a woman in a skintight dress over the price of vegetables. Something about her felt overtly worldly.When he looked up, his eyes locked onto mine.He froze. Then his e

    He paused, then added, "I heard that after she left her position, she started acting more and more like a stereotypical unemployed bum. She spends her days drinking now."Then she somehow heard about how well you've been doing and began telling everyone how close the two of you were back then. She says you'll definitely come back to her one day."I smirked and said nothing. Now that was a joke.…A few days later, on my way back to my apartment, I found Victoria lingering near the lobby. She looked frailer and more worn than before. The proud, self-assured aura she once projected had vanished. Even her clothes looked dowdy. She held a grocery bag.Her eyes brightened when she saw me."Albert!" she called, hurrying over with feigned warmth. "I've come to visit your mother. I heard she's been recovering well. How is she? I brought some fruit."I stepped away and did not reach for the bag. "Are we friends, Miss Gideon? You shouldn't have."She froze mid-motion, a flicker of embarr

    Hugo grabbed Victoria and burst into hysterical sobs. "You told me you'd love me forever! You said you'd protect me no matter what happened! But you're not doing any of that now. You're cutting me off. How could you? Why?"Disgust filled Victoria's eyes. She slapped his hands away. "Get off me, you madman! How did I even fall for someone like you? I must have been blind.""That makes two of us. You used me, and now you're trying to use me one last time to get yourself out of jail. You piece of shit," Hugo shot back.The crowd watched in pained silence as the two launched into a loud, grating public spat. They shouted over each other, screeching as though the world were their stage, laying bare each other's schemes and selfish motives.Marcus' expression darkened.At last, one of the officers snapped, "Break them up. Now!"Several officers stepped in and pulled them apart, then cuffed them both. "Victoria Gideon, Hugo Spencer, you are both detained on suspicion of involvement in a

    My mother turned to face Victoria."Do you still remember what you said when you and Albert got married?" she asked, her voice heavy with disappointment.Victoria froze. She looked away, her eyes avoiding my mother's gaze.My mother was not the type to let that pass."You said you would always be his first line of defense… and his last, his eternal sanctuary," she continued. "But you're cheating with this… This…"She trailed off. She could not find the right word for Hugo, so she gave up. "It's bad enough that you cheated, but you're working with him to hurt the man you swore to defend and care for. You're lying to protect this… jerk, even if it sends Albert to jail on a murder charge."A lump formed in my throat. Victoria might have changed her heart and forgotten her vows, but my mother had not. She still remembered what my ex-wife had promised me.Victoria said nothing. She looked away, her face pale with guilt. She avoided my gaze.Hugo, however, did not back down. "How dar

    "You swear that I was the one who instructed you to prescribe that drug to Mr. Blackadder?" I asked Hugo carefully.He nodded firmly and replied loudly, "I swear it on my medical credentials. I did not lie about this at all. You told me to do it. You approved it when I asked for confirmation."I sighed. "Oh God. Swearing on your nonexistent medical credentials cannot be good.""How dare you?!" Victoria snapped. "What is that supposed to mean? You are trying to turn an intern into your fall guy? That is low. How could any medical professional be this low?"Hugo cried harder. "I knew it! You have it out for me. You always have. You are jealous of my relationship with your ex-wife, so you set me up. When are you finally going to let us go? And how could you just kill someone over a personal vendetta against me? Where is your heart?"I nodded. "I agree. No one who practices medicine should ever forget how much power they wield over other people's lives. Our work demands that we respec
