"Let's begin," Chloe said, wheeling herself over to the bedside.After stopping, Chloe shot Martin a glance and said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Wyance.""You're welcome. Now, let's get started." Martin nodded at Chloe, appearing sincerely concerned about her.Then, Chloe bit her lip and laid down on the operating table with the help of the nurse.In fact, her original plan was all an act. If Nicole had not suddenly arranged for Martin to come in, she would not even have had to participate in the surgery at all. She could have just left when the time was right. But now, Chloe had to endure the entire surgical process no matter what. She was on the verge of erupting from anger, as she was forced to suffer even more for no reason.The surgery started smoothly. After the anesthesia had been administered, Chloe gradually lost consciousness...When Chloe woke up again, she was already in the ward. Upon opening her eyes, she saw a room full of people, and she felt like she was in a
Hearing that, Chloe immediately understood what he meant. He could not allow anyone to lob a grenade at Nicole and get away with it."Stop uttering nonsense, how could I harm Nicole in any way?" Ghost Hand argued after he got accused."Just because you didn't want to hurt her doesn't mean that you can't or won't," Martin retorted."Dr. Wyance, we had paid quite an amount of money for Chloe's treatment. Even if this guy, Ghost Hand, can't cure Chloe completely, I'm sure he won't cause her any sort of harm," Miley butted in."What I meant here is that this person, 'Ghost Hand,' or whatever has been found to demonstrate little to no skill in regard to operating a human being. And yet, here you are, taking a gander with it using Chloe's life," Martin reprimanded.Miley's face blanched as she listened on. She unconsciously stared at Chloe, crestfallen, as her face scrunched up in anxiety.Meanwhile, Chloe gritted her teeth. 'I planted this guy here. Of course I knew he was good for no
Chloe's heart raced, and deep within, she realized that this was only the beginning of Nicole's entire show."Do you know why I assigned Martin to be the assistant surgeon?" Nicole continued."Of course, you did it to slander Chloe," Miley spat as Chloe kept her silence.Nicole's laughter filled the room, sending chills down everyone's spine. She turned to look Chloe in the eye as she scrutinized her expression. There, she noticed Chloe's breathing was labored, as if she was nervous about something.After that, Nicole spoke again, "Ghost Hand, as they are aptly named, has a unique hand technique when he's performing his operations, but for you guys to say that they are not quite comfortable operating while others are present is a little...'Nicole paused for a moment, and that was when she noticed that everyone was looking at her.Smirking, she stated, "Ghost Hand only uses their own surgical equipment."Hearing that, everyone around the operation theater was stunned. "What?!"
Upon catching a glimpse of Miley's expression, Nicole immediately understood what Miley had conveyed. 'I would be stupid to use this diabolical mother and daughter duo.'"Even if you do know about miracle doctors, how did you manage to find out about the Ghost Hand's signature habits?" Chloe frowned, feeling that Nicole was doing all of this to ruin her."Why would you suspect me?" Nicole asked, pretending as if she was oblivious to her questions.Choking with anger, Chloe yelled, "You...!'She gritted her teeth, knowing that there was no way she could refute the claim. "Why is my life in such a sorry state?! I thought I had finally found the Ghost Hand, and yet, all I've gotten is an imposter!"Miley then joined in on the crying as she saw her daughter's bloodshot eyes welling up. "Don't worry, Chloe. We won't give up, even if we've been cheated this time."Nicole, who was far from done with them, turned to them and said, "Hold up. I think you haven't finished what you started."
Nicole's calmness took Chloe aback, surprising her."Yeah, if you weren't the one who submitted the information, how did it get there? Did it submit itself?" Karen smirked, the resentment in her heart causing her to make things worse for both Miley and Chloe.In the context of registering their own company and getting treatment for a chronic illness, neither of these were issues in of themselves. However, they had chosen to enlist a fake doctor to help them with the registration process, and that was a different story altogether."Dad, I think there must've been some sort of misunderstanding between us. Can't we go through this together. After all, we can't just listen to one side of the story," Miley begged."Miley, are you saying that Nicole is framing both you and your daughter? I mean I don't even listen to the one-sided stories of others, so why should I listen to yours?" Karen sneered."Everyone, shut the f*ck up!" Damien shouted, startling Karen.Then, Karen shot back, "Wh
Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses who were stationed outside the operation theater heard the commotion and busted inside."She suddenly vomited blood and then fainted. Her vitals are stable, we might need a further examination to find out the cause...," Martin instructed from his deductions following the examination.As Martin had no proper equipment in his disposal, he had no choice but to diagnose her based on his experiences and leave the rest to the hospital for more accurate results."Okay," the doctor replied as he and his nurses rushed to push Chloe to the Emergency Room.Miley followed closely from behind, and the operation theater soon fell silent once more."Dad, what should we do with this person?" Karen asked, as she pointed at, 'Ghost Hand,' the imposter."Leave him to the police. We'll wait until Chloe wakes up before we proceed with anything else." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.Dillion knew that it was useless to refute, instead he soothed Mr. Riddle Sr., "Why don't you
"How can we allow her to weasel her way out of this so easily, Miss Riddle? Especially now that we have compiled so much evidence to use against her...," Patricia complained with a frown on her face.'Perhaps she wouldn't have to explain herself if she never regained consciousness,' Patricia thought.After a moment of consideration, Nicole furrowed her brows. "I think she's doing this to stall for some time for herself."'What else could she hope to do? Her fake doctor was caught red handed, and the investigation has been handed over to the police. Everyone knows about the registration of her company now, so what more does she think she could do?'Noticing that Nicole was deep in thought, Martin asked, "What are you thinking about?"Nicole shook her head. "It's nothing."She did not want to trouble Martin anymore as he had been of great help in today's affairs.And as Martin noticed that Nicole was unwilling to share, he decided to leave it and stop pressing her with more questi
It was common knowledge that the collaboration was definitely going to happen, but it left her questioning if there really was a need for a ribbon-cutting ceremony."Should we attend?" Patricia hesitantly asked.It was evident that Nicole disliked attending such events, but since Harvey had already spread the news and invited a multitude of business magnates from all over San Joto, they had no choice but to go."Let's go," Nicole's gaze darkened slightly.At this point, they had little choice but to show up."Then I'll get ready," Patricia replied.Nicole nodded in agreement, and then, Patricia strode out of the office.Leaning back against his chair, Nicole looked at the documents Harvey had sent her as she became lost in thought.Soon after, night fell, and the city lights began to glow.As usual, everyone in the Riddle residence gathered together for dinner at the dining hall.Everyone had already heard about Chloe's situation, but they were neither worried nor curious abo
