Chapter 1

From head to toe, Elaine Foster was draped in designer brands. Her arm linked through Karl Claflin’s as they waited for their test results.They had both been suffering from frequent headaches lately, so they had come to the hospital together for a check-up.As they passed the ward, Elaine immediately spotted me.I had just come out of a six-hour surgery and changed out of my scrubs, ready to go home, when I noticed something off about a patient.Ignoring my exhaustion, I stepped in and handled it myself. I induced vomiting and stayed with him until his condition stabilized.The nurses were completely overwhelmed, so I ended up crouching down and cleaning up the mess myself.In Elaine’s eyes, she only saw me in a sorry state, working as a janitor. She strode straight toward me. Her expression was a mix of disgust and ridicule as she said, “Michael Messner, look at where you’ve ended up. You’ve sunk so low that you are working as a janitor in a hospital. Without me, you’re nothi

The security guards did not hesitate. They stepped forward and reached out to throw me out.I shook them off and said coldly, “Don’t touch me. I’m the hospital’s specially appointed chief neurosurgeon, Brandon Messner.”I had changed my name while studying abroad. Brandon Messner was my current name.Karl cackled and said, “Dr. Messner is one of the top neurosurgeons in the world. His surgeries have never failed. People would pay a fortune just to get on his schedule. The only thing you have in common with him is your last name. You’re just a janitor pretending to be him. That’s honestly pathetic. But since we went to the same school, maybe one day, Elaine and I can hire you as a nanny for our kid.”I shot back. “That depends on whether you can even have children. And what exactly do you do for a living other than living off a rich woman?”That hit its mark. Karl’s expression twisted. He had tried more than once to get Elaine pregnant, but every time, it had failed. The truth

Elaine knew exactly how much weight Brandon Messner’s name carried. A few years ago, an elder in her family had suffered from the same disease.However, they had not been able to get on Brandon’s surgical schedule at all. They had been forced to find another surgeon. The operation had failed, and the elder had died.It was a hereditary condition in her family. There was a thirty percent chance of developing it. She had never imagined being part of that thirty percent.On the other hand, Karl could not understand why he had fallen ill with the same disease at such a young age.Panic gripped them. Their minds raced, desperately trying to think of any way to convince Brandon to operate on them.They did not know that the man who could save their lives was standing right in front of them.I was a doctor, but I was not the kind who would help anyone without reason. I turned and walked away.Seeing that I was about to leave, a cunning gleam flashed in Karl’s eyes. He quickly stepped f

A flicker of guilt crossed Karl’s face, but he quickly denied it.“Shut your mouth! I’ve only ever liked Elaine. She’s always known of my feelings. Don’t try to drive a wedge between us. Your fake, lying nature was exposed to everyone back in school.”Elaine immediately defended him.“Michael, I won’t let you talk about Karl like that. He’s not like you. He really loves me. When I pretended to be seriously ill, he was willing to donate a kidney for me. I trust him.”I snorted. “Ha. Elaine, I honestly don’t know whether to call you naive or just a fool. Karl knew exactly who you were and what family you came from long before he ever set his sights on you. That’s the only reason he seduced you in the first place. Why don’t you take a look at every other woman he has ever dated? Not one of them is anything less than beautiful, young, and dripping with old money. Do you really believe there’s something so special about you that made him break his usual pattern? You are beyond hope.”A

Elaine’s mind went blank. For a moment, she could not process what she was hearing. She stammered, “Director Cooper, this man is an impostor. His name is Michael Messner, not Dr. Brandon Messner. You must’ve misunderstood something.”Karl added, “That’s right. We caught Michael pretending to be Dr. Messner, so we brought him here for Dr. Messner to deal with personally. We’ve been diagnosed with brain gliomas. We were hoping to ask Dr. Messner to schedule our surgeries as soon as possible.”Charlie looked at them for a long moment. When he finally spoke, their blood ran cold.“Michael was Brandon’s former name. He’s the only person who could have saved your lives. And you just broke his hands.”Charlie immediately summoned the emergency medical team. They rushed me away on a stretcher as I teetered on the edge of unconsciousness. He contacted the best orthopedic surgeons in the region and gave them a direct order. No matter the cost, my hands had to be saved.Karl felt a chill run

Chapter 6

I found her words completely nonsensical. “I’m married, and you’re with Karl. What are you even talking about?”Elaine rushed to explain. “Karl and I haven’t registered our marriage. All these years, a part of me has always held a place for you. I was waiting for you to come back and explain everything to me. To be honest, if you had just apologized to me, I would’ve given you another chance. I know you still love me too. Just operate on me and cure me. You can divorce your wife, and then you and I will get married.”By this point, I had lost count of how many times Elaine had left me speechless in a single day. I sneered and said, “If you had said all of this before you knew I was the doctor who could save your life, maybe it would’ve sounded somewhat believable. But hearing it now, all I see is your hypocrisy and your cold heart. You wanted to test my love by faking illness. But you forgot that you never offered any love of your own. All you were ever going to offer was deception.

Chapter 7

Elaine screamed as she clutched her broken right hand. Trembling, she fumbled for her phone to call her family.Just then, she saw the completed investigation report from her assistant.The document detailed everything. In university, Karl had made a habit of chasing after wealthy women. There had even been scandals about him dating multiple women at the same time.He had once followed Elaine home. After learning her background, he immediately broke up with his then-girlfriend to pursue her.To drive me away from her, Karl constantly drove a wedge between us. He pushed me away until I had no choice but to leave.The phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor. She finally realized that she had been fooled by this liar for years. In the process, she had lost the only man who had ever really loved her.She sat on the cold hospital floor with tears streaming down her face. She could no longer tell whether the pain came from her broken hand or her heart.She looked at Karl with a

Chapter 8

The evidence against Karl for assault and theft was irrefutable. He was sentenced to three years in prison.Every day, he lived in fear and dread, never knowing when death would come to claim him.The glioma in his brain had already begun pressing against the surrounding tissue. He gradually lost his vision and became partially paralyzed.Even so, he refused surgery from other doctors. He was terrified of dying on the operating table.He could only wait for death to arrive.The Foster family quickly went bankrupt. It was not just the Gormican family’s doing. Other families were involved as well.Several patients who had been waiting for my surgeries were forced to switch doctors after my hands were injured. When some of those operations failed, their families placed the blame on the Foster family.Their retaliation was relentless. Within a short time, the Foster family collapsed completely.I did not expect Elaine to show up again.She stood firmly in the middle of the road an
