Chapter 1

I turned and left without a word.No one at the bar dared to make a sound.Someone tried to talk to Mia and said, "Maybe we should let it go and not let this get out of hand?"Mia's sneer came from behind me. "If someone's willing to take my fiancé, why shouldn't I give him away? He doesn't even care, so why are you worried?"My heart ached like it was being stabbed. When I walked out of the bar, everyone around me simply looked at me with contempt and disgust."Isn't that the pervert looking for group sex online only with people who have STDs? That's so disgusting!""Stay away from him. Who knows how many diseases he has?"When I returned to the hospital, even my colleague looked at me and sighed with mixed feelings. "Ryan, Mia has pressured the hospital. She wants your medical license revoked, and she wants you to pay three hundred thousand dollars in compensation."He sounded furious on my behalf. "Mia bought shares in the hospital just to protect you back then. She even alm

Someone wrapped their arms around me in my sleep. I startled awake and shoved the person away, only to see Mia. The moment I smelled Afton's cigarette scent on her, my whole body went rigid.Mia did not notice as she frowned. "It was just a joke. Did you really have to take it so seriously and throw a tantrum over it? Stop being so dramatic. Everyone in Oceanton knows you're going to be my husband. Who would actually bid on you?"I could not say a word as she took my hand herself. "Does your hand still hurt? I'll massage it for you. It'll heal in two or three days at most. It won't affect your future. You should apologize now, right?"Her tone was gentle, but it only made my heart ache even more."Mia, I think we should break up." After I said that, she did not respond for a long time.When I turned my head, I saw her smiling at her phone. After a while, she waved me off dismissively. "What did you say? Just tell my secretary what you want and have him buy it for you. Afton said h

"You've misunderstood. That was..." My colleague still tried to defend me, but Mia raised her hand, and the bodyguard who was with her immediately punched him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, unable to say anything more.I tried to check on him, but Mia kicked my injured spine instead. The pain was enough to make my face turn as pale as a ghost, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.Mia dug her heel deep into my injury as she said, "Ryan Hathaway, you're really quite the actor. I pursued you for two years, and you pretended to be aloof, like no woman could ever touch you. I never thought your private life would be this filthy. Even beggars are cleaner than you! "You were jealous that Afton was healthy, so you deliberately used your own contaminated instruments on him. Now, you've even ruined his face! How can you be this vicious?!"I gasped through the pain and struggled to speak. "No. That report was..."Before I could say it was Afton's report, Mia cut me off in a

When Mia kicked open the door to the room next door, she found it in complete disarray, but empty. She rushed to the window.The bloodied, mangled figure underneath made her scream in an instant.Afton quickly walked over and pulled Mia away from the window. "Mia, don't look! A dead person's face is too frightening. You'll get scared! I've already called the police. They'll handle it."He then held Mia tightly and consoled her. "Don't worry. Why would Ryan kill himself? He's probably just trying to fool you. He wants to use this to make you soften your heart and save him."Mia suddenly turned her head, took out her phone with trembling hands, and called her secretary. "Have Ryan come see me right now! What exactly is he doing? Even if he's angry, he can't joke about something like this!"After hanging up, Mia muttered to herself as if trying to convince herself. "Why would Ryan kill himself? He loves me so much. We're about to get married..."Ten minutes later, the secretary call

The moment I regained consciousness, I could feel the pain enveloping my entire being. Before I passed out, I remembered hearing a woman's panicked voice. "Quick! Get him to the emergency room!"Was it Mia?Then, the ward door was kicked open with a bang.Mia stormed in. "Ryan! You're really something! How could you put on this whole debacle just to fool me!"She immediately raised her hand and slapped me. "You had to do this to Afton and me for something minor? Do you know that Afton thought you were really dead when he saw that body! He felt so guilty he almost killed himself to make it up to you!"I slowly turned my head and spoke hoarsely. "Breaking my hand was minor? Putting me up for auction on the black market was minor? Letting people treat me like a toy was minor, too?"Mia seemed hurt by the dead look in my eyes, but she quickly hardened again. "You brought all of that on yourself! You hurt Afton first!"She grabbed my arm in a fury and dragged me off the bed. "Come ba

Chapter 6

From that day on, I moved into a private rehabilitation center in the countryside.Vivian hired the best therapists money could hire to set up a detailed recovery plan for me.I did six hours of rehab every day. The pain was constant, but I gritted my teeth and endured it all.I had to recover. I had to pick up a scalpel again.At the same time, I began creating a treatment plan for Vivian's grandmother.Every morning, I would wheel myself to her ward and chat with her while examining her personally.Gradually, she started holding my hand, calling me "Ryan", and even sharing the candy she had secretly hidden with me."Ryan, you're so handsome. Do you have a girlfriend already?" Vivian's grandmother winked at me. "I think Vivian is a good fit. You would no doubt look well with her once the two of you can stand next to each other."I felt a little awkward and was about to explain when I heard a soft cough from the doorway. Vivian was at the door, holding a container. "Grandma, wh

Chapter 7

Vivian's expression turned dark quickly, and she rushed back to the ward after hearing the nurse's report.Every machine was shrieking inside the ward.Madam Lawson lay on the hospital bed, her face almost blue and her breathing so faint it was barely detectable.All the doctors were already doing their best, fighting to keep her alive.However, there was no miracle.When Vivian saw her grandmother's body, she rushed over with red eyes and grabbed my collar. "Didn't you promise you would save her? Didn't you say she was already getting better? Then, what is this?"She lost control and punched me in the chest before collapsing on the floor, shaking as she covered her face.I did not dodge nor defend myself. "I'll find out the truth. I will."For the next three days and nights, I barely closed my eyes.I pulled up all the rehabilitation center's surveillance footage and checked it frame by frame.But every camera on the floor where Madam Lawson's ward was located had been damag

Mia glared at Vivian as she barged in with her men. "You can't just do whatever you want here! What right do you have to take him?!"Vivian smiled coldly as she took a tiny recorder from her pocket and pressed play. Afton's low whisper from moments earlier came through the recording clearly.Mia's eyes widened as she turned to Afton, her eyes filled with disbelief.Afton's face went pale as he stammered, trying to make up an explanation. "Mia, that recording is fake! I just wanted to see whether Ryan had treated the wrong patient. He's just a charlatan, after all, and I was worried he would make a mistake and hurt the old woman… How could I ever hurt anyone? You know me! I'm someone who feels bad when I see an injured cat."Mia's heart softened again, and she looked at Vivian. "Did you hear that? Afton meant well..."Vivian scoffed. "Are you still going to lie to yourself? It doesn't matter. I've already called the police. Once they arrive, everything will come to light."After t

Chapter 9

Mia looked at the hideous man in front of her and suddenly felt sick. Was this the Afton she had always protected and trusted?In the end, Afton was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.As Afton was escorted out, he slammed hard into me. "Ryan, don't get too happy just yet! I'll be out soon! Mia will definitely save me!"I sneered. "She can barely protect herself. Besides, do you really think you're going to have an easy time in there?"Afton's expression changed. "What do you mean?"I did not answer as I turned and left.Vivian quietly said something to the prison guard escorting Afton.Afton understood at once and cursed wildly."Vivian! You witch! Just try touching me! I'll never forgive you!"But his empty threats meant nothing.That night, news came from the prison.The leader of a gang in the same prison as Afton had "taken good care" of the newcomer, and Afton was said to be badly injured.More news about Afton kept coming out over the next few days. All kinds of go
