Chapter 1

Laura Johnson clicked her tongue impatiently.“Are you refusing to do it? Be grateful. If you won’t provide an affidavit of non-prosecution, what are you planning to do instead? Cause a scene at the hospital?”Anthony Stilton slowly lifted his head from Laura’s shoulder, looking weak and pitiful.“Ms. Laurie, please don’t be angry with Felix. His mom just died, after all. It’s normal for him to feel upset…” As he spoke, he began pounding his chest in anguish. “It’s my fault the patient couldn’t be saved. I’m useless. If my medical skills were better, then no one would have died…”Laura looked heartbroken. There was a softness in her eyes that I had never seen before.“Anthony, you’re too kind. Don’t blame yourself for everything. With his mother’s condition, no matter who operated, she couldn’t have been saved. How could this possibly be your fault?”Then, she turned toward me, her gaze cold.“Felix, do you have to push the kid so far? Come on, provide an affidavit of non-prosec

I picked it up and took a look. It was an organ donation consent form. Even though my mother-in-law wasn’t my biological mother, my expression turned cold.“Mom was religious. Didn’t you know that? She believed in being returned to earth. I won’t agree to the donation.”Suddenly, Laura burst out laughing.“Oh, wow. It’s the twenty-first century. How can someone remain so superstitious? If you ask me, your mom must have done many terrible things in her life. That’s why she died from cancer. Otherwise, why would she be the one to get cancer while everyone else is fine?”Anthony chuckled and chimed in without the slightest trace of guilt. “Felix, why don’t you let your mom do one last good deed while she’s still useful? Maybe that way she’ll go to heaven. It’s the same principle as slaughtering a pig. Right after it dies, everything’s the freshest. If you wait too long, it’ll be too late.”The dead deserved respect. Even if the person lying there wasn’t his own mother, how could a do

Laura rushed over from the staff lounge the moment she heard.“Felix, have you lost your mind? Doctors aren’t gods. Your mom died, and you want to blame me for it?”I answered calmly, “I’m not blaming you. I just don’t want to stay married to you anymore.”Laura frowned deeply, forcing down the anger rising in her chest.“Anthony and I both did everything we could during your mom’s surgery. I know you can’t accept it right now, but don’t joke about divorce, okay?”Beside her, Anthony finally seemed to understand what was happening. He let out a startled yelp and then pointed at his own nose blankly.“Felix, if you’re not blaming Ms. Laurie, then are you blaming me for this?”His eyes reddened, and he bent down, his hand covering his face.“I’m useless. I couldn’t save Mrs. Hampton. It’s my fault. Felix, if you want to let it out on someone, let it out on me, but don’t divorce Ms. Laurie. Ms. Laurie is innocent!”Laura quickly pulled him up and snapped at me, “Anthony is alread

Even if the deceased wasn’t my own relative, the dead should be treated with dignity. Whoever it was, they didn’t deserve to be humiliated like this.I stared straight at Laura, my voice trembling as I suppressed my anger. “How are you… laughing?”Laura looked completely calm. She even chuckled as she replied, “This is supposed to be a celebration of life. Do we really need a bunch of people crying their eyes out for it to count as respect? Besides, your mom loved lively gatherings when she was alive. I’m just respecting her wishes.”“A celebration of life?” I stepped closer and questioned, “This is a funeral. It’s a place for people to mourn, yet you turned it into this mess. You even defaced the memorial portrait so badly that no one can recognize who the deceased is anymore… and you call that respect?”My voice kept rising until I was almost shouting. “You’re not comforting the dead. You’re insulting them!”Anthony was stunned for a moment after being scolded, but soon enough,

Laura stared at my parents in a daze as his eyes widened. “Your mom… your mom is alive? How is that possible?”I smiled faintly.“Thanks for the concern. My mom is doing just fine.”Laura struggled as she asked, “Then who… died?”I bent down and picked up the lid of the urn that had been kicked away earlier. Then, I held it out in front of her. On the front of the lid were two small, almost unnoticeable words engraved into the surface—Suzie Johnson.Laura staggered, nearly losing her balance. Anthony stepped forward, completely unconcerned.“Felix, no matter how sad you are, you can’t just get someone to pretend to be your mom and attend your mom’s funeral. Isn’t that a bit ridiculous–”Before he could finish his sentence, he met Laura’s eyes, which were filled with shock and despair. Suddenly, Laura shoved Anthony aside. She rushed a few steps toward the damaged memorial photo and name on the placard, which had been ruined beyond recognition. Using her sleeve, she frantical

Laura’s vision went black, and she nearly lost her footing. She suddenly jumped to her feet and rushed at Anthony, grabbing him by the throat.“It was you!”Anthony struggled, his eyes rolling back as he gasped, “Ms. Laurie, I… I had no idea who your mother was. You said the patient was Felix’s mother, so of course I believed what you told me… You can’t blame me for that…”What Anthony said was technically the truth, but Laura had completely lost her mind.She roared at him in fury, “It’s all your fault! You damaged my mom’s body, so I couldn’t even recognize her! I didn’t even get to see her one last time! You even ruined my mom’s funeral! I can’t even gather all of her ashes now, and this is all because of you!!”Under her tightened grip, Anthony’s lips were already turning purple.Amid the chaos, someone called the police. The officers arrived quickly and forced the two apart. Laura collapsed to her knees on the ground, her face twisted with rage.“I’d like to file a report!

My heartbeat raced, and the worst possible thought flashed through my mind. What was Laura planning to do by kidnapping my mother?Unlike her hysterical voice over the phone, the moment she saw me, her eyes reddened.“Felix, why haven’t you called me even once in the last few days? You have no idea… how much I missed you…”If not for the surgical blade pressed against my unconscious mother’s neck, her words might have sounded almost affectionate.In just a few days, Laura’s dark circles were deeply sunken and almost frightening to look at. It seemed the investigation into the surgery had taken a toll on her.I raised my voice, trying to stay calm. “Laura, whatever it is, we can talk it through. Just let my mom go first!”However, as if she hadn’t heard me at all, she continued speaking to herself, “Now I finally see that you’re the only one who’s ever been good to me. Anthony, that b*st*rd, dumped everything on me the moment something went wrong! The patient died in his hands! Le

Police immediately rushed forward and restrained Laura.“What about my mom?”The doctor quickly began checking on my mom.“She’s fine. She was only given a sedative. She’ll wake up once the drug wears off.”Only then did I finally breathe out in relief. My entire body went numb, and I collapsed onto the floor. Laura, on the other hand, was pinned down and struggling violently.“Felix! You lied to me! You never planned to start over with me! You promised that you’d provide me with an affidavit of non-prosecution! You even smiled at me!” she screamed, her voice hoarse. “You’re just toying with me!”Something inside me snapped. I forced myself up and rushed over, slapping her hard across the face.“Laura, you’re nothing but a monster! If you hadn’t held a knife to my mom’s neck, do you think I would’ve written that?”The moment the slap landed, Laura froze. The cheek swelled quickly.Tears streamed down her face as she screamed, “I’ve apologized! I said I love you! Why can’t you

Chapter 9

Laura’s crimes were quickly uncovered.During surgery, she had deliberately neglected her duties. Knowing full well that Anthony was unqualified, she insisted on placing him on the operating table. She treated human life as a joke, and in the end, the patient died on the table. She was also implicated in multiple other charges, including kidnapping, illegal drug administration, and intentional bodily harm. The police submitted a full set of evidence to the prosecutor’s office, and the prosecution immediately filed charges, requesting cumulative sentencing for all offenses.At the same time, Anthony’s background was exposed. In fact, he didn’t even have a medical background; he wasn’t a medical graduate at all. He had only studied management abroad for a few years, and after returning home, he was forcibly inserted into the hospital as an intern, purely through Laura’s connections.Online, in the media, and even within the hospital, everyone was talking about it.“The hospital’s h
