All Chapters of Framed as a Quack: I Crushed My Hands in Rage: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"How did Dr. Goodwin suddenly injure his hand?""Who knows? Maybe he's afraid that if the surgery fails tomorrow, he won't be able to save face as the newly promoted deputy director of the hospital."I chose to ignore the gossip and speculation of my colleagues passing by.Calmly, I continued walking toward Jamaal Monroe's office. He was the director.My phone screen lit up with a message from Megan."Donovan, I'm leaving Pierre's surgery in your hands tomorrow. I trust you'll cure him. Love you, mwah."It was the exact same message as in my previous life.Back then, a simple "love you" from Megan would excite me. Now, nothing but a chill spread within me.Mr. Monroe's face tightened into a deep frown as he looked at my bandaged right hand."How could you be so careless? Of all times to get injured, you choose now? I was counting on tomorrow morning's surgery to help you establish your authority within the hospital."I was hoping tomorrow’s surgery would help you build your a

Hiding behind the security guard, I glared at Megan and shouted, "I didn't kill Pierre! Megan, you'd better have proof for what you're saying!"Megan showed no trace of panic. Instead, she put on an expression of deep distress."Donovan, I may be your wife, but I am also a person with a conscience. I cannot turn a blind eye to your crimes, so don't blame me for doing this."Before justice and the law, I must uphold righteousness to bring justice for the deceased, even if it means exposing my own husband!"Just then, Mr. Monroe, having received word, hurried over."I am Jamaal Monroe, the hospital director. What exactly is going on here? If you are deliberately causing trouble outside the operating room, I will have to call the police."Megan spoke up before I could even get a word in. "Mr. Monroe, you came just in time. Donovan abused his position to intentionally cause a patient's death during surgery, so this hospital owes the family an explanation."Mr. Monroe gave Megan a st

Dr. Reese wasn't surprised to see Megan in the slightest."Megan, I knew you'd be here. Don't worry, I performed Pierre's surgery myself. He's out of danger now."But instead of feeling relieved, Megan felt her face drained of color entirely."Dad, why were you the one operating on Pierre? Wasn't Donovan his attending physician? And why didn't you tell me Donovan injured his hand?""Didn't he say he'd tell you himself? Unless—"At this point, Dr. Reese seemed to finally realize something and immediately turned to look at me.I simply gave him an innocent smile. "Dr. Reese, I just didn't want Megan to worry."Yesterday, when Dr. Reese was about to tell Megan about my injured hand and the change of surgeon for Pierre, I stopped him just in time and told him I'd personally explain everything to Megan.Dr. Reese knew how well I treated Megan and that I never hid things from her, so he easily believed what I said.To be honest, I didn't have concrete proof that Dr. Reese was involv

Mom pointed at Maya and shouted, "You’re talking nonsense! Don’t you know perfectly well how my son has treated your daughter and both of you? What one does in the dark always comes to light. One day, karma will catch up to you for all this!"At Mom's accusation, an unreadable emotion flickered in Maya's eyes. But in the end, she retorted with self-righteous certainty, "These reports clearly document Donovan's wrongdoing."You're right—what one does in the dark always comes to light. So, Donovan will indeed face retribution for committing such heartless acts."Mom flipped through the stack of injury assessment reports, still refusing to believe Maya's claims."These reports are fake. With your family's influence, obtaining such medical records would be all too easy. So, they can't be treated as evidence!"Just as the two of them were locked in a stalemate, the head of the criminal investigation team, Scott Floyd, pushed the door open and entered.His gaze was probing and full of

Under the pressure of public opinion, Mr. Monroe had no choice but to revoke my position as deputy director and place me on indefinite suspension.Meanwhile, Megan's boss, Robby Holt, paid her a personal visit at home with a bunch of health supplements while she was recovering."I never would've guessed Donovan, who always seemed so refined, could be an abuser. But then again, maybe it's not so surprising he would do something like this."Megan immediately caught the hidden implication, her eyes lighting up sharply."Robby, what do you mean by that?""Oh, you didn't know? Before marrying you, Donovan once caused a patient's death. Back then, he didn't want to pay up, and it also happened to be a critical time for his promotion to attending physician."So, he secretly hired a bunch of thugs to threaten the patient's family, and only then was he able to bury the whole thing."If domestic violence were just a moral issue, then causing a patient's death—once proven—would be enough t
