Chapter 1

I stared at Zoe Anderson expressionlessly. “Of course, I’m very understanding.” I turned around and left the hospital. Then, I called the number that I had not answered for many times. On the other end of the call, the daughter of the hospital CEO, Lily Johnson, questioned me with a shaking voice. She had been pursuing me for the past five years. “What’s up? Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for your wedding?” I took a deep breath and answered softly.“I’m no longer marrying Zoe.“Lily, if you’re still willing to marry me, bring your ID tomorrow and meet me at the city hall.” ...Lily did not answer for a few seconds. Then, her shock immediately turned into excitement as she stammered. “Ethan, is this a joke? Are you really not going to marry Zoe?” Her voice sounded hoarse as she kept questioning me, as if she was afraid that I would go against my words in the next second. “I’ll get a wedding dress immediately! Tomorrow at nine in the morning, let’s get married a

Jack’s eyes teared up pitifully. “Dr. Scott, please don’t be mad at me. I can’t help my feelings for Zoe. I can apologize to you!” He lifted his hand as though he wanted to slap himself, but he was secretly sizing me up. I said coldly, “You didn’t manage to kill yourself with the scalpel earlier, so are you looking for a good angle to hit yourself?“If you’re planning to slap yourself, do it loudly to make that apology count!” After I said that, blood immediately drained out of Jack’s face as he froze. Zoe was furious. She shielded Jack behind her. She yelled angrily, “Ethan, you’re insane! Jack’s severely depressed! Do you really want an orphan to die before you’re happy about it?” I was stunned by her nonsense. Zoe lifted her chin arrogantly as she shouted at me. “Every successful doctor has affairs outside of their marriages!“I’m already making you my lawful husband. What else do you want from me?” She was absurd as she spoke arrogantly. “Since you’ve made J

The lab was completely silent as I collapsed on my chair. My stomach was twisting in pain, and I recalled the sadness I had endured over the past ten years. In order to help Zoe get her promotion to chief physician, I gave up the opportunities to further my studies overseas. I even suffered from gastritis from exhaustion. Every surgery that I did back-to-back, and every paper that I wrote had her name on them. I finally came to a realization. She only loved me for my papers and my capabilities. I had been wasting my effort on an ingrate. My phone suddenly buzzed and snapped me out of my thoughts. Lily sent me a photo of her in a wedding dress. She also attached a very detailed guide on marriage registration. I could feel her love in between the lines. I had been a little upset, but I finally relaxed a little. After I thanked her for her hard work, I had completely let Zoe go. When I was just about to stand up, Zoe’s father, Peter Anderson, called me. He was the

I slowly placed my fork down. “Since Jack wants my spot and my research, just take them.”The few of them were momentarily stunned, but they were quickly replaced by pleased looks. Zoe cocked an eyebrow smugly. “Good that you know your place. From now on, we’re a family.” I took out the document that I had prepared from my bag and tossed it on the dining table. “This is my resignation letter as well as the withdrawal application for my research.” Peter and Bonnie were both stunned. Zoe’s expression froze before she yelled anxiously, “Ethan, you’re insane! Why are you ruining your own future?”I ridiculed, “Jack’s not afraid of killing himself with a scalpel. Why does he need someone else to do his job? “Let him handle all these complex cardiovascular surgeries. His achievements would be well-deserved.” Jack looked anxious. His eyes darted around frantically. He desperately pleaded, “Dr. Scott, I shouldn’t have asked for that. Please, don’t resign!”Actually, he w

I read the group chat indifferently in my car as I ignored Zoe’s fruitless rants. I scrolled and blocked everyone from the Anderson family. In the meantime, I deleted all of their contacts too. The past ten years were tossed away like they were trash. I felt very happy. Lily slammed on the gas pedal and brought me to the best hospital in the city, Wellness Hospital. It was ranked number one of all hospitals in the state, and it was a lot more prestigious than the hospital that Peter used to work at. The human resource director, Louie Spiegel, waited personally at the lobby for me with a fawning smile on his face. “Dr. Scott, we’ve completed all necessary onboarding processes, and all approvals have been obtained without any difficulties.” They managed to transfer my research too. In the hospital CEO’s office, Ted Johnson poured a cup of hot tea for me personally and patted my shoulder. “The Anderson family is a bunch of idiots. Why did they make such a talented su

It was a sunny morning at Wellness Hospital. I peacefully put on my brand-new coat as the chief physician. When I was making my rounds, a few experienced experts nodded at my diagnosis and treatment plan. “Dr. Scott’s model in post-surgical treatment is great. It’s basically worth being in the textbooks.”“He handles all these complicated illnesses so perfectly. Indeed, he’s a rising star.”My new colleagues were not stingy with their praises as they agreed in unison. I was over the moon. I no longer needed to be used by the Anderson family anymore, and I no longer had to endure Zoe’s bossy instructions.However, it was immensely tense in the neighboring hospital’s operating room.Zoe forced herself to walk to the lead surgeon position as her breathing raced. Blood drained out of her face as she looked at the complicated condition that the patient had under the surgical lights. Her hand that was holding the scalpel was trembling violently, causing the blade to shake.

“Get out of my way!” I shouted coldly. I strode toward the operating table and pushed Zoe, who was still in a daze, aside. Zoe stumbled backward before falling onto the floor. I took over the lead surgeon position with brute force and stared intently at the patient’s open chest.“Equipment! Suture!” I started barking out fierce instructions. Lily passed me the suture needle immediately. My hands worked quickly from my muscle memory and my excellent skills. The motion was so quick that no one could follow what I was doing. There was not a movement that did not serve any purpose. Within three minutes, I managed to locate the bleeding spot and successfully stitched it back. The hemostat was placed at the right spot, and the blood was immediately stopped. The loud beeping sound from the vital sign machine finally stopped. The blood pressure slowly rose and I managed to save the patient. The nurses surrounding me gasped as they looked stunned. “Dr. Scott’s surgical

Two days later, the health department’s report was officially published. Zoe was openly criticized as the barrage of evidence was laid out.Her medical license was immediately revoked, and she would never pursue a career in healthcare again. The security guards threw her personal items out of the hospital and got rid of her. The other doctors in her department were delighted. No one took sympathy on her. “I didn’t like her for a very long time. She always took Dr. Scott’s work as her own.”Jack’s license was revoked too as he had participated in the forgery and had attempted to flee. He was blacklisted by the entire industry. Not even a rural clinic dared to take him in. They both got endings that they deserved. Peter was dismissed from the hospital because of his involvement in Zoe’s forgery. His retirement benefits were taken away, and his lifelong achievements went down the drain. Shouts could be heard from within the Anderson family house. After losing everyth

The rain was extremely heavy. Zoe held the letter with the two-million-dollar demand as she sat in the puddle and sobbed loudly. Rain mixed with tears and trickled into her mouth. It tasted extremely bitter. She finally understood that she no longer deserved me. She was overwhelmed with despair, and she did not even have the strength to stand up. In order to pay the huge compensation fees to me and the patient’s family members, the Anderson family was at their wits’ end. They had no choice but to sell their mansion located in the city center at a lower price. They had also pawned all of their branded bags and jewelry. The three of them defeatedly moved into a dark, damp, old apartment. The paint was peeling off and the apartment smelled of mold. The living conditions were hell compared to their previous mansion. Bonnie could not stand the sudden drop in prestige. One moment, she was the wife of a hospital CEO, the next moment, she was doing house chores. In just a

One year later, Lily and I had a wedding in a garden with all of our friends and relatives. The breeze blew through Lily’s veil. The wedding was warm and romantic. All of my ex-colleagues showed up to congratulate me. Everyone was toasting at the dinner table, and they were chatting among themselves. “It’s great that Ethan left the Anderson family. He’s living such a good life now.” “That’s right. Now, the Anderson family is struggling to sustain their basic needs.”The colleagues looked at me as I smiled on the face, and all of them felt happy for me. I held a mic and stood on the stage. My speech was simple. With teary eyes, I turned to look at Lily. “When I was treated like trash by others, you held my hand without any hesitation.“I will give you a good life till death do us part.” The applause was thundering. Lily covered her mouth as tears trickled down her cheeks. At the same time, on the street outside of our wedding venue, Zoe passed by the hotel after a
