Chapter 1

"Dr. Westcott, the patient is in critical condition. She's already been taken into the operating room. You need to operate right away!"As I listened to the nurse urging me, I couldn't stop thinking about the comments I had just seen.I had talked to my wife only 20 minutes ago.She had just finished her yoga class and was getting ready for bed. How could she suddenly be bleeding so badly?But just as I was about to head to the operating room, the comments appeared again."After the male lead finishes the surgery, an empty liquor bottle with his fingerprints will magically appear in his desk drawer. That will frame him for operating while drunk and cause a medical malpractice scandal!""He'll be sentenced to 15 years in prison. After he's finally released, his wife will run him over with her car and kill him!"I froze for a second before walking back to my desk.When I pulled open the drawer, it was completely empty.But the nonstop comments were impossible to ignore. I immediately tur

"George, she's your wife! You're a doctor! How can you be so heartless? Your wife is eight months pregnant, and you're refusing to save her!"Malcolm's angry shouting caught the attention of the doctors and nurses in the nearby offices, and they all came over to see what was happening.A nurse hurried to my side and quietly said, "Dr. Westcott, the pregnant woman with the severe bleeding really does have the same name as Mrs. Westcott. Do you want to go to the operating room and take a look?"Although she spoke softly, Malcolm still heard her. He quickly turned to me."You believe me now, don't you? Stop wasting time and go save Cindy!"Malcolm looked anxious, but I also caught the smugness and satisfaction hidden in his eyes.He was so desperate to get me into that operating room because he wanted to frame me.If that was his plan, then I would use it against him.I quietly glanced at the computer that was recording everything before nodding."Fine. I'll go take a look."After I chang

"Damn! Has George figured everything out? I think he's about to turn this around!"Then I headed straight to the large staff lounge.Two surgeries had just finished, so many of my coworkers were sitting around, taking a break while waiting for their takeout.Nurses on duty were constantly walking through the room as well. I didn't believe Malcolm would dare attack me in a place like this.I casually found a seat in the corner. Before long, Malcolm's furious voice came from the doorway."Where's George? Get out here! You selfishly refused to save your own wife. A heartless person like you doesn't deserve to be a doctor!"Malcolm stormed into the lounge with more than a dozen people, throwing the entire room into chaos."The side dude finally showed up with the death certificate to make a scene!""But George was prepared. He should be okay, right?"I raised an eyebrow when I saw the comments.A death certificate?I let out a mocking laugh. I had never issued a death certificate.Besides,

"I started treating the patient the moment she arrived last night. I used every possible method to save her, and the operating room cameras recorded the entire procedure! You're not going to slander us!"Malcolm looked as if he had expected this all along, so he wasn't surprised.He ignored the issue and stopped talking about the death certificate.Instead, he pointed at me and shouted."It doesn't matter! The treatment was delayed because George refused to save the patient when the nurse called him last night! I begged him in his office for a long time, but he still refused to help. The nurse can testify for me! Two people are dead now. Can any of you honestly guarantee that George didn't deliberately refuse to save them?"The doctors in the lounge immediately fell silent.This involved two lives, so no doctor dared to guarantee anything for me.Seeing that, Malcolm smiled smugly. He put on a grieving expression and said to the people behind him, "He killed Cindy! He has to take respo

Chapter 5

My words shocked everyone once again.Gavin's face turned pale, and breathed rapidly.Seeing his condition, Amelia immediately rushed over, pointed at me, and yelled. "George, you've gone too far! You killed Cindy and the baby, and now you're trying to hurt Gavin too?"Malcolm, who was also Amelia's godson, quickly stepped over to comfort her."Amelia, please calm down. Don't make yourself sick because of him. The police are here, and I'm sure they'll handle this fairly."Then he turned to me."George, what evidence do you have that Gavin and I framed you?"A new comment suddenly appeared."Haha! He's still so confident. He has no idea George already gathered the evidence. Trash like him belongs in prison!"After reading the comment, I glanced at the confident Malcolm."Then what evidence do you have that I performed surgery while drunk?"Malcolm pointed at the empty liquor bottle sealed inside the evidence bag."That's the strongest evidence."I sneered. "Or maybe someone slipped thos

Chapter 6

I didn't know what had made them so determined to frame me.But at this point, the reason no longer mattered.Since they had made their choice, they couldn't blame me for showing them no mercy.I turned to the police officer beside me."Officer, I'll fully cooperate with your investigation."The police took me away for a blood test.While we waited for the results, Amelia suddenly walked over and sat beside me.The sharp, mocking tone she had used that morning was gone. Instead, she sounded unusually gentle and sincere."George, listen to me. Before the test results come back, you should confess. I know you didn't mean for Cindy and the baby to die. Don't worry. As long as you admit your guilt, Gavin and I will write a letter asking the court to show you leniency."Looking into Amelia's caring eyes, I almost let my guard down. Then another comment appeared."Damn it, George! Don't sign anything! That letter can end up being used as evidence to prove you're guilty!"After reading the co

As soon as the news was released, Malcolm secretly leaked the story online.Because it involved sensitive topics like a doctor-patient dispute, murdering a wife, and performing medical procedures while drunk, I quickly became the target of public outrage.Wave after wave of insults and accusations flooded the internet.Under the pressure of public opinion, the police decided to hold a press conference about the case.I wasn't surprised at all. In fact, I stayed completely calm.The officers handling the case thought I was either heartless or mentally unstable because I showed no reaction.But they had no idea this was the moment I had been waiting for.Before the press conference began, I saw Malcolm, Gavin, and Amelia.They would also attend as the victim's family.When Malcolm saw me wearing a prison uniform, he sighed dramatically."Dr. Westcott, if you'd confessed earlier, maybe this wouldn't have ended up all over the internet. At the press conference, you should sincerely repent.

Chapter 8

I had already finished the energy drink, but I dug the bottle out of the trash. Luckily, there was still a small amount left at the bottom.I gave the bottle to Andrew and asked him to send it to a certified lab for testing.Andrew began, "This energy drink was specially prepared for Dr. Westcott by Cindy Westcott. Laboratory testing confirmed that alcohol had been deliberately added to the drink."Before he could continue, Gavin jumped to his feet and argued angrily,"Are you saying Cindy deliberately framed her own husband? Why would she ever do that? I could just as easily say George added the alcohol himself to avoid punishment and then blamed Cindy. After all, the dead can't defend themselves. They can only be slandered by the living!"I let out a small laugh."Gavin, don't get so worked up. You can ask your questions after my attorney finishes presenting all the evidence."Andrew wasn't affected in the slightest. He brought out the second piece of evidence calmly.It was security

Chapter 9

They had started their affair the day after Cindy and I got married.One video clearly captured a conversation between Cindy and Malcolm."Malcolm, do you think our plan will really work?""Baby, don't worry. It'll work for sure. You'll just have to put up with things a little longer.""That's fine. I never wanted this baby anyway. Every time I'm around George, I feel sick. If it weren't for his money, I wouldn't stay by his side for even a second."The shocking twist at the press conference kept the "drunk doctor case" at the top of the trending searches for an entire week."I can't believe this. Those two are monsters.""Those elderly people are just as evil. How could they do something like this?""She's a disgrace to the word 'mother' and doesn't deserve any sympathy.""I hope that whole family gets what they deserve."Amid the public's outrage, the judge handed down a harsh sentence. Malcolm was sentenced to five years in prison for deliberately framing an innocent person.As for
