Chapter 1

Anger and panic surged through me before I could even process what was happening."You bought junk food? Are you trying to kill the woman in the back?"I gripped the steering wheel so hard that my knuckles turned white.The hospital director, Corey Johnston, nonchalantly tossed two huge bags of chips and jelly onto the passenger seat.He even sneered at the dust on the car seat and gave me a sideways glance."Don't raise your voice at me, you brat. My daughter has loved these handmade chips since she was a kid. If I'm late, they'll sell out."Behind us, the pregnant woman on the stretcher let out a gut-wrenching scream.Teresa Kennedy, the intern nurse, sounded like she was on the verge of tears. "Dr. Johnston, the patient's blood pressure is crashing, and the amniotic fluid has already drained."Her hands were covered in blood as she desperately pressed down on the gauze."We have to get to the hospital in ten minutes, or we're going to lose both of them…"Corey just scoffed

Back in the cabin, Teresa finally snapped. "Dr. Johnston, the patient doesn't have 15 minutes! She won't even last for five! She's hemorrhaging! This is a severe placental abruption!"Corey whipped around and glared at her. "What does a fresh-off-the-boat intern like you know? I've spent 30 years in medicine. I've forgotten more than you'll ever learn. I said she's fine, so she isn't going to die."He turned back to me, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Matthew, if you don't do what I say today, you can pack your bags tomorrow. And it won't just be you. I'll have your mother kicked out of the ICU immediately."The threat against Mom's life made my heart sink.I gritted my teeth, my eyes burning. "Corey Johnston, you're literally murdering this woman."He let out a cold laugh. "Murder? That's a heavy word. In this hospital, I am God. My word is the law. I'll ask you one last time. Which way are you turning?"The emergency dispatch radio suddenly erupted with noise.As I reached for

Corey pulled out his phone and rapidly dialed a number. "James? It's Corey. Get security down to the ER entrance immediately. I've got a rogue driver here who nearly ran us into a ditch. We need to handle this strictly."After hanging up, he gave me a triumphant look. "Matthew, your career is over."I didn't even look at him. My eyes were locked on the road ahead.As long as I got the patient to the hospital, I didn't care if I lost my job.Right then, Teresa's hysterical sobbing drifted from the back. "Matthew… She's stopped breathing…""Get the adrenaline ready! Start CPR! Now!" I roared at the rearview mirror. My foot was practically snapping the gas pedal in half.Teresa's hands shook as she tore open the medical kit. Her tears splashed onto the woman's pale face."It's no use, Matthew! I can't stop the bleeding. The gauze is soaked through!"Corey sat in the passenger seat. His brow was furrowed but not out of concern for the patient. He was busy using a tissue to meticulo

Teresa looked down, unable to meet my eyes.James waved dismissively. "What are you standing around for? Get the patient into surgery now!"The gurney's wheels screeched against the floor as they rushed the patient down the hall. The woman wore an oxygen mask, her life hanging by a thread.Corey brushed the dust off his sleeves and turned toward his car. "Alright, James. She's all yours. My daughter is waiting for these snacks in Brackford. I need to get moving."The red light above the operating room flashed frantically. The air in the hallway was thick with a suffocating tension.Two security guards kept their hands clamped on my shoulders, forcing me onto a bench just outside the doors.Suddenly, a nurse rushed out with blood all over her hands. Her voice was frantic as she yelled, "Dr. Walker! The patient is hemorrhaging! She's gone into DIC! She's type O-negative, but we exhausted our supply of Rh-negative blood yesterday!"James broke into a cold sweat, pacing the floor in

As Corey stared at the phone I held in his face, he was stunned for a split second.Then a sneer of disbelief crossed his face.With a violent swipe of his hand, he slapped the phone out of my grip. It hit the tiled floor, and the screen went completely dark."Matthew, have you lost your mind?"Corey pulled out a handkerchief, wiping the fingers that had touched the phone in disgust."You find some smashed piece of junk, pull up some edited photo, and think you can fool me? My daughter is resting in a private clinic in Brackford, listening to prenatal music! How could you invent a sick lie like that just to avoid responsibility?"He pointed at my nose, his finger trembling with rage. "James! Call the police! Right now! I want him charged with disorderly conduct!"James barked at the guards, who closed in on me once again."Matthew, you're really stubborn. You're facing ruin, and you still have the nerve to pull a stunt like this on Dr. Johnston?"The bystanders shook their hea

Calvin continued yelling, "Now go in there and see for yourself! Go see whose life you've been wasting for 40 minutes while she bleeds out!"Corey slid down against the wall until he hit the floor.He was hyperventilating, his gaze hollow and vacant. "That's impossible… Selena is in Brackford… She messaged me yesterday, saying she wanted strawberry mousse…" he muttered to himself while shaking his head violently, desperate to reject reality.Calvin grabbed him by the hair to force his head up."She set those as scheduled messages so you wouldn't worry! She was lying to you! She never went to a private clinic! We couldn't even scrape together the deposit for a room!"Her water broke today, so I had no choice but to call for an ambulance. And of all the people to show up, it had to be you! You monster who's more worried about your damn snacks!"Every single word out of Calvin's mouth was a sledgehammer to Corey's chest.The truth finally clawed its way into his brain. He shoved Ca

Corey shouted, "What the hell are you doing? How dare you stop me from saving my daughter!"Teresa was shaking like a leaf, but she gritted her teeth and screamed, "Dr. Johnston, have you forgotten? That strawberry mousse you bought at the service station has a rum filling!"You ate more than half of it in the ambulance. Your blood alcohol level is elevated. You cannot give a direct transfusion to a patient in critical hemorrhagic shock!"As soon as Teresa's words hit the air, the operating room fell into a dead silence.The only sound was the piercing beep of the heart monitor, sounding like a countdown to the end.Corey froze in place, his expression instantly stiffening. His lips trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with endless despair and fear."Rum… filling…"He looked down at his blood-stained hands and let out a hideous laugh."I went out of my way to buy her a cake with liquor… and ended up destroying the only way to save her…"Calvin, hearing everything from

Corey begged. "Matthew! Mr. Brock, I'm begging you. They can't take my blood, so let them take yours! Take yours! If you give her your blood, I'll promote you! I'll make you the head of the ambulance fleet!"I kicked him away. My gaze at him was so cold that it was devoid of any warmth. "Head of the fleet? Corey, have you really forgotten who I was three years ago?"Corey collapsed on the floor, clutching his chest. A look of profound shock flickered in his eyes.He seemed to finally remember something, and his face turned several shades paler than before."Y-You're…"I crouched, grabbed his collar, and pulled his withered face inches from mine."Three years ago, I was the youngest attending neurosurgeon at this hospital. It was you who stole my core thesis to pave the way for your talentless nephew. It was you who conspired with the board to commit perjury, framing me for medical malpractice and stripping me of my license!"I spoke through gritted teeth. "When my mother fell il

As soon as the recording finished, I sent the video to the Department of Health's disciplinary committee and every major media outlet.Then, I turned toward the operating room."Prep an 800-ml draw," I commanded the stunned medical staff as I rolled up my sleeves. "Notify Anesthesia. Set up for extracorporeal circulation. I'm taking over this surgery."Warm blood flowed from my arm through the catheter, streaming into Selena's hollowed-out body.I donned the sterile scrubs and stepped up to the operating table for the first time in three years.The glare of the surgical lights made my eyes sting, but my hands remained steady as a rock."Her blood pressure is climbing! Heart rate is at 60!" the anesthesiologist called out, his voice thick with excitement."Scalpel." I held out my hand, and the scrub nurse slapped the cold steel into my palm.Incising, stanching, ligating, dissecting.My movements were a blur of precision. The surrounding doctors and nurses held their breath, wa

Calvin pulled a specialized black smartphone from his pocket and dialed a number. "Mr. Walter, freeze every asset under Corey's name immediately. Execute the acquisition plan. By dawn tomorrow, I want Ashvale Hospital under new ownership!"Corey looked up blankly at the son-in-law he had spent years grinding under his heel."W-What nonsense are you talking about?"Calvin gave a cold snort and thrust the screen in front of Corey's face.The display showed the encrypted internal interface of Petersen Corp, one of Ashvale's most powerful conglomerates."You always thought I was just some broke delivery guy."Calvin's voice was laced with a bone-chilling frost. "I hid my identity only to prove to my family that I could make Selena happy without the family fortune."But I never imagined my restraint would give a monster like you the license to be so reckless! You didn't just push us into a corner. You killed my child!"Corey was utterly speechless. His mouth hung open, but he couldn
