Lahat ng Kabanata ng Leg Broken, Love Awoken: My Husband's Betrayal: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

"Nora Vale, why are you just standing there? My leg is broken! Get me to the hospital where Kimberly interns now!"Joseph Coleman's bark cleared the haze from my mind, and I realized I was standing in the living room while he lay motionless on the ground, having fallen from the third floor.He ground his teeth through the pain of two shattered legs and still managed to glare at me with disgust and suspicion."Nora, if you take me to the nearest hospital again and make me lose Kimberly, I swear you'll suffer a death worse than you had the last time!"Those words cleared away the last of my doubt. I had come back to life, and at that same moment, Joseph came back too.In my previous life, Joseph was one of my admirers. He once saved me from a fire, and I married him out of gratitude.I poured my parents' inheritance into his start-up and supported his dream until he became the CEO everyone praised.When he clocked out, I stayed at the office drafting deck after deck until midnight

Another hour crawled by before Kimberly finally sashayed in while wearing stilettos, a full set of acrylic nails, and makeup caked on like she was headed to a photo shoot.Diane had been pacing herself into a fury. The second she saw Kimberly, she grabbed the gurney to wheel Joseph toward the operating room. "Good! She's here! Let's get him in now!"Kimberly yanked the gurney to a stop and blinked, all innocence. "Wait, I thought I was supposed to operate on him?"Diane fought the urge to roll her eyes and gave Kimberly a once-over. "How are you going to operate dressed like that? You don't even have a license. You're just an intern who got here through connections. If anything goes wrong with Joseph, can you take the responsibility?"The attending, who had been trying to talk sense into Joseph, couldn't hold back. "Dr. Parker hasn't performed a single case here. Letting her take the lead is extremely risky. It could cost him more than his legs!"I chimed in, pretending to persuad

The room fell into silence at the news.Joseph's swagger drained away, and he stared at the nurse as if he'd misheard. "What did you just say? You're telling me you have to amputate my legs?"David skimmed the labs and scans, his brow tightening before he answered, "Yes, and we need to move fast. If we wait, the infection will spread, and it won't just be your legs at risk!"Joseph shook his head like he could rattle the words loose. "No! That's impossible! Last time, I was fine..."I almost laughed. The only reason he kept his legs last time was because I got him to the nearest hospital immediately.Even then, the surgeons said that if they'd come in just a bit later, they might not have been able to save his legs.He'd fallen so hard it even affected his manhood. But I'd kept that to myself, so he wouldn't fall apart."I don't buy this!" he snapped. "You're a bunch of hacks trying to pad the bill! It was only a fall! How could it be this bad? I trust Kimberly! She said it was

Joseph stared at Kimberly like he couldn't process the words. "Kimberly, you mean you had no real experience and still dared to operate on me?"Right then, a nurse stepped forward. "I can testify! Kimberly doesn't know how to operate! The patient's legs could have been saved, but she cut blindly, punctured a vessel, and caused a severe bloodstream infection. That's why the amputation is now necessary."Another nurse added, "I'll testify too. She mishandled the patient's leg, threatened us to keep quiet, and then tried to pin it on Ms. Vale!"Joseph's eyes went bloodshot as he glared at Kimberly.Diane finally lost it. She lunged and started swinging at Kimberly in a flurry of fists and kicks.Kimberly couldn't hold her off. She snatched a scalpel from a tray and jabbed it toward Diane, but someone nearby grabbed her wrist in time.Diane was about to unleash her fury, but Kimberly suddenly burst into frantic laughter. Then, she blurted out, "You're the idiots here! You knew I wasn
