Chapter 4
I opened my phone to find a video posted from Ethan’s personal account.
He was dressed in a suit, with Sophie standing beside him.
His face was serious as he spoke.
“Although Valerie is my wife, I can’t condone her descent into madness.”
“Since the children’s surgery failed, she’s been accusing me of causing their deaths, even dragging in my anesthesiologist intern-my student Sophie-defaming her with baseless rumors. Doctors at.the hospital have been forced to explain themselves, and now, she’s punishing them by sending them to the Caribbean branch, demanding outrageous compensation from those who refuse to go.”
“Because this is affecting our careers, I’ve teamed up with the doctors who’ve been wronged to announce a strike. We’re not performing any surgeries until Valerie Greene apologizes to us and compensates us for the mental distress, especially
Sophie. She has to apologize to her in person!”
Sophie’s voice shook as she spoke.
“Mrs. Greene, stop the lies. Please don’t send me to the Caribbean. I’m the only child my parents have.”
The comments section exploded with patients’ families begging me to apologize.
“My father’s surgery can’t wait any longer. If he doesn’t get treated, he’ll die.”
“Please, Ms. Greene, just apologize. My daughter can only be saved by Dr. Blackwood.”
1 gripped my phone tightly, my once steady heart now torn to pieces.
Ethan’s call came through, laced with threats.
“Valerie, you don’t want to ruin your own reputation, do you? You’ve already destroyed the hospital.”
I screamed, heartbroken, “Bastard! Ethan, you’re a bastard!”
“Didn’t I give them a choice? The contract said they either go to the branch for three years or pay the penalty! They agreed to this willingly! Why are they going on strike just because they won’t honor the contract? You killed my children, and now you want to kill more innocent people? What kind of doctor are you, what kind of person are you!”
For the first time, I lashed out at him with such fury, leaving Ethan speechless for a moment.
But soon, his impatience returned.
“You’re insane! I’ve told you, the kids died from congenital defects! No one killed them! You’ve delusional!”
“Apologize now! Say you imagined everything! Withdraw the transfer list!”
“Then admit you’re mentally ill-transfer hospital control to me…”
I spat out, “Go to hell! Ethan!”

“Everything I did was legal! Why should I apologize? Did I force you and Sophie to go to Disneyland? Did I make
her or touch her?!”

“She killed my kids with wrong anesthesia dosage, and you’re covering for her. You deleted the surgery footage. Go to hell and atone for what you did to my children!”
Ethan gasped, clearly shaken. “You’ve lost your mind… I can’t explain this to you anymore.”
“ROT IN HELL!” I screamed, slamming my phone onto the floor and stomping on it.
A loud banging came from the door.
Next, a group of people burst in.
“You bitch! You’ve ruined those doctors, ruined so many patients! Die!”
They tore at my clothes, slapped my face, and kicked my stomach.
I held my children’s urn tightly.
But someone ripped it from my hands.
“Don’t!” I screamed, rushing to grab it back.
I could only watch helplessly as the urn was smashed on the floor, and my children’s ashes spilled everywhere.
“Stupid bitch! Care about your brats? I’ll scatter their ashes! Suffer like you make others suffer!”
I lunged forward in blind fury, but they yanked me back.
Ethan and Sophie entered the room. The first thing Ethan did was protect Sophie.
He looked at me, drenched in blood, his expression a mix of complexity and urgency.
“Valerie, stop being so stubborn! Just apologize, everything will go back to normal! They’re doctors, and they’re patients’ families. If you just do as I say, everything will calm down!”
I screamed through clenched teeth, blood staining my mouth, “NEVER! I won’t let you get away with this! I will make you regret this!”
The sound of sirens erupted, and a group of police rushed into the room.
“Breaking and entering, assault-everyone, to the station!”
The group of people began crying out for help.
“Dr. Blackwood, save us!”
Ethan immediately stepped forward. “It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I’m the homeowner; she’s my wife. This is just a family dispute.”
“P..
huchand! We’re divorced!”
