All Chapters of The Day the Hospital Made a Killer: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I knew something was going to happen today, so I hurried to the pharmacy counter.Just as I arrived, I saw Lindsey Clark handing a packet of potassium supplements to my mom. I stopped her sharply. "Lindsey, if I remember correctly, compounding medication isn't part of your responsibilities."When Lindsey saw me, a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes. "Dr. Monroe, I just saw how busy things were and came over to help. I didn't think I'd mess anything up."I took the packet, checked it carefully, then tossed it back in front of her. "Why didn't you follow the prescription? Can you take responsibility if the wrong medication is given?"Lindsey blinked innocently, giving the same excuse as before. "I was just trying to help. Potassium is healthy, isn't it?"I scoffed and ignored her, then turned to Leah Collins behind the counter. "My mother just had surgery. If she took these potassium supplements today and something went wrong, would you be the one taking responsibility? Do you unders

Unexpectedly, Michael pulled out a divorce agreement as if he'd been waiting for this moment. "I was about to bring this up myself. Before Lindsey came into my life, I thought being with anyone was the same. But after she appeared, I've realized true love is different."Michael and I had started dating back in medical school. After seven years of marriage, how could he tell me he had found his true love?When I looked over the terms, it felt like I was losing it all. Even so, I signed without a second thought.Liam leaned over and whispered, "Dr. Monroe, you're really taking a hit here."I smiled faintly. Who was really losing out? That was anyone's guess.In the end, Michael used my year-end bonus to cover the portion of Liam's docked performance pay. After that, everyone in the department avoided Lindsey like she was a walking disaster.I assumed she would keep her head down for a while. But the very next day, the head of radiology stormed into my office."Dr. Monroe! What's g

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

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,

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
