Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mom Will Pay for Dad's Death: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

The woman looked stunned, unable to believe what she had heard. "What did you just say? My husband is in critical condition, and you're the best surgeon in the country. Why can't you save him?!"I turned to look at the patient lying in bed.The man was deathly pale, and he breathed weakly. His eyes, nose, and even the small mole beneath one eye looked exactly like that person.I looked away from the patient and flipped the roster list in my hand. "A burn victim was admitted before you arrived, and is waiting in the surgery room right now. I will have to operate on him first."My department head, Leroy Gibbs, rushed in through the door, and he smiled and nodded at the woman before he came quickly to my side and whispered, "Do you know who that person in front of you is? She is the heiress of a renowned pharmaceutical company in the city that does a lot of business with this hospital."Her husband is the son of Dr. Patricia Shaw, who had been in medicine for 50 years, and had many a

Not long after, David Ranch, who was the hospital director, came over to me with a solemn look on his face. He stopped right in front of me and said in a commanding tone, "This is the last time I am warning you, Dr. Corvin. Operate on Dr. Shaw's son right now."I was busy reading the important notes on a medical record and did not even look up at him. "The hospital has its rules. You should not set a bad example by violating them when you are the hospital director."When I refused to budge, David became frustrated. "Do you have any idea who Dr. Shaw is? She is a titan among surgeons in the country and has four decades of experience behind her. She has saved hundreds and thousands of lives and is a highly respected veteran of the medical field."With her current status and connections, she does not need to lift a finger for others within the field to ostracize you on her behalf. You are not only destroying your future by being stubborn, but you will bring the hospital down with you a

A flustered look appeared on Patricia's face, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. She immediately put up a righteous farce as she spoke sharply at me. "What nonsense are you talking about, Dr. Corbin?!"The reporters exchanged looks and started talking amongst themselves."Dr. Shaw always maintained a good reputation. Not only that, Joshua Carver and Dr. Shaw were married for decades, and were known as a loving couple in the industry. What late husband is Dr. Corbin talking about?""That's right. I never heard any cheating rumors about Dr. Shaw. Has Dr. Corbin gone crazy? Why is he saying such ridiculous things here?"I calmly took out a yellowed photo from my pocket. It curled slightly around the edges from age. It was a photo of a gentle‑looking Patricia in her twenties with a brightly smiling young man standing next to her."The man you called Joshua Carver was nothing but a third party in their relationship. Patricia Shaw's first husband was the man in this photo."

I raised my eyes to look right at Patricia, who froze and turned pale as I continued to crucify her with my words."You were in a hurry to help Joshua Carver with his physical therapy massage 40 years ago, and you were careless with the wounds on Dad and me when you were sewing us up. You never planned to save our lives. You wanted to kill us by faking a failed surgery."You were overconfident and in a hurry, which was why you failed to kill me and left behind evidence of your crime instead. I survived, and I returned for payback."Patricia was in shock as her face turned deathly pale. All of the words she prepared to retaliate against me were stuck in her throat.All of the reporters lowered their heads as they got busy making notes of what happened. Their cameras locked onto my scar, making sure none of the details were left out."You claim that you never had a failed surgery, then how do you explain the surgery scar from your unique one‑of‑a‑kind technique that was never replic

However, I was not about to let her get away with this. I took a step forward and spoke loud enough to cover the scattered discussions around the room."Merit should be given where it is due, and the same could be said for crimes to be paid. The act of murder is already an unforgivable crime. Moreover, Patricia Shaw's crime does not stop at a simple adultery."As I was speaking, I clicked on my phone, which was connected to the projector in the hospital room. A file immediately grabbed everyone's attention."Patricia Shaw enjoyed 40 years of honor in the medical field, but most of her work was stolen." I looked sharply at Patricia and Evan, whose faces had turned pale."The numerous important medical papers that you were so proud of, that highlighted various innovative surgical technologies, were not the results of your research work, but the stolen work of juniors and new doctors who poured their heart and soul into those studies."Several original drafts of those theses appeared
