Chapter 4
I opened my phone to see a video posted from Caspian’s personal account.
He stood in a suit with Quinn beside him.
His expression grave: “Although Luna Carter is my wife, I can’t watch her continue this madness.”
“Ever since our children’s surgery failed, she’s been obsessively convinced I killed our kids. She’s even dragged down the anesthesiologist who assisted me-my student Quinn Frost-spreading malicious rumors about her. When hospital doctors tried to explain and defend us, she took her anger out on them too, forcing these physicians to transfer to Africa or pay outrageous buyout fees.”
Since this affects all our futures as doctors, I’m joining with the victimized physicians to announce a strike. We won’t perform any more surgeries until Luna Carter publicly apologizes and compensates everyone for emotional damages. Especially my student Quinn-she must personally kneel and apologize to her!”
Quinn’s eyes were red as she choked out: “Ms. Carter, please stop slandering me and don’t send me to Africa. My parents only have one daughter.”
he comments flooded with patients’ families begging me to apologize.
My dad’s surgery can’t be delayed any longer-he’ll die without it.”
Please, Ms. Carter, just apologize! I’m begging you-only Dr. Williams can save my daughter!”
gripped my phone tight, my calm finally shattering.
aspian called, his voice threatening: “Luna Carter, you don’t want to be completely disgraced with your hospital ruined, do you?”
screamed with everything in me: “Bastard! Caspian Williams, you bastard!”
Didn’t I give them choices?! The contract clearly stated-either support the branch for three years or pay breach fees! They willingly agreed to this! Why should hey get to strike just because they won’t honor their contracts? Isn’t it enough that you killed my children-now you want to kill more people?! How dare you all yourself a doctor? How dare you call yourself human?!”
ly first time truly raging at him left Caspian stunned for seconds.
ut then he replied impatiently.
You really have lost it! I told you-the kids died because they were unlucky! No one hurt them! You’re having delusions!”
If you don’t want to watch those patients die, get on your knees and apologize with compensation! Just say you were delusional, that you misunderstood Quinn
nd me, that everything about us was your lies. Withdraw the Africa assignment list, and we’ll start doing surgeries again.”
Also, you need to say you’re mentally ill and going to a psychiatric facility, transferring hospital authority to me…”
snarled viciously: “In your dreams! Caspian Williams! Go to hell and have your fantasies there!”
Everything I did was legitimate-why should I apologize? Did I force you to go to Disney with Quinn? Did I make you kiss her, grope her?!”
She used the wrong anesthesia dosage and killed my son, you covered for her, deleted the surgery footage-you two pieces of shit can go to hell and atone to ny children!”
Caspian sucked in a breath: “You’re completely insane… I can’t reason with you.”
‘Go die!” I smashed my phone on the floor, stomping on it viciously.
Pounding came from outside-then a crowd burst through my door.
“Fucking bitch, you’re the one screwing over doctors and hurting patients! Whore, just die already!”
They tore at my clothes, slapped my face, kicked my stomach.
I desperately protected my children’s urns.
But someone ripped them from my arms.
“No!!” I screamed, lunging forward.
Chapter
I could only watch helplessly as the urns smashed on the floor, my children’s ashes scattering everywhere.
“Stinking bitch! You care so much about these unlucky brats, I’ll scatter their ashes! That’s what you get for hurting people-now you know what pain feels like!”
I saw red, throwing myself forward, but they dragged me back.
Caspian walked in with Quinn, and seeing the chaos, his first instinct was shielding her.
Looking at me covered in blood, his expression was complicated, voice somewhat frantic.
“Luna Carter, stop being stubborn! Just apologize and this all goes away! These are doctors, patients’ families-just do what I said and everything calms down!”
I spat blood, roaring: “In your dreams! Ill never forgive you! I’ll make you regret this!”
Sirens suddenly wailed as police stormed in.
“Breaking and entering, assault-everyone to the station!”
The crowd cried for help: “Dr. Williams, save us!”
Caspian immediately stepped forward: “Misunderstanding! I’m the homeowner, she’s my wife… just a domestic dispute.”
I struggled to my feet against the wall, screaming to correct him: “He’s not my husband! We’re divorced!”
“I’m formally pressing charges! He deliberately sent people to break into my home and assault me!”
I’ll make them all pay!”
