Kate Horton tries to comfort a depressed patient with suicidal tendencies to make herself look good. However, all she does is aggravate the patient so much that he jumps off the building. Kate cries and says, "I only wanted him to know how much his mother loved him…" To help her get away with it, my boyfriend and professor conspire to make me her scapegoat. I'm cyberbullied, fired, and betrayed by everyone I know. In the end, the patient's family even push me off the balcony. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day when Kate tries to save the patient. I'm going to stop her—she's the one who deserves to die, not innocent others!

Just as I stepped onto the rooftop, the iron door behind me snapped shut with a loud click.A shiver ran down my spine. I looked back to see Luke and Mr. Preston looking at me sinisterly.In front of me, sitting casually by the railing, was Kate, her face alight with mockery. "I can't believe you really came."Smiling in triumph, she waved a stack of papers at me. "I have your file here, Amanda. Who would've thought that you had a family history of mental illness?"I stiffened, panic flickering on the inside. "That's private information," I said. "Besides, it hasn't affected my work.""Don't be nervous, Amanda," Luke said from behind me. "I know your history. If I didn't care about you, I would've made this public and forced you to resign. As you know, I've always been fond of you."I grimaced. "So, you put up this whole charade to lure me here and threaten me?""Hardly a threat, Dr. Seville." Mr. Preston strolled over and patted my shoulder.I shuddered.Seeing my unease, Kat

That evening, Luke called me.As soon as I answered the call, his cold, cutting voice came through, "How long are you planning to target Kate? Do you really need this case in your records that badly, or are you just jealous that she could use the case to publish a paper?"I've been mentoring you for seven years. Is this how you repay me?"I was cleaning up my apartment when he called. Brandon had trashed my apartment when moving out, probably in retaliation for humiliating him in front of the entire hospital staff.I had spent the last few sleepless nights with my patient in the hospital. When I finally returned home and saw my house in this state, I actually thought I had been robbed at first."I've known you for ten years. In that time, I've published 16 papers, all with your name on them," I told him impatiently as I pulled open the drawer of the overturned bedside table.Just as I expected, it was empty.I had spent two years collecting various case studies and follow-up int

From that day onward, Kate lost all credibility.Before this, as Mr. Preston's niece and Luke's youngest student, she was admired for her good looks and soft-spoken demeanor. Colleagues who rarely interacted with her often viewed her through rose-tinted glasses.However, after the incident that was witnessed by many firsthand, the truth was exposed. Soon, all the times she shirked responsibility to maintain her kind facade were soon exposed, too. Rumors began running rampant."She has a PhD? Even the nurses know the basic protocol for calming patients. How could she not know that?""She felt sorry for his mother… Ugh, gross! His mother is the reason why the patient is severely depressed. How could she say that? How cruel!""Oh, but she's so kind-hearted. You wouldn't understand."As the deputy head of the department, I should be trying to curb the gossip, but the rumors were largely true. Therefore, I didn't bother since it had nothing to do with me.Besides, I needed to focus o

"Damn! If Dr. Seville hadn't saved the patient, our hospital would be in huge trouble!""Kate Horton has a PhD, too, right? How could she not know the basics of patient care?""She got in by nepotism. She doesn't actually know anything, yet she still keeps stirring up trouble!"The murmurs around us grew louder and louder. Kate reddened with shame. Tears began spilling out of her eyes again.Luke couldn't take it anymore. Sternly, he said loudly, "What are you all talking about? Kate earned her PhD legitimately!"James scoffed. "You call this legitimate? This crap?"Luke, being a renowned guest professor at a famous medical school, had never been insulted like this before. "You're just a freeloading rich kid who got some fake credentials abroad. You have no right to question me!"I smiled and joined the fray. "Dr. Spencer, James graduated from Kalolin University in Ruiden."Kalolin University had one of the best medical programs in the world. I had spent a year there as an exch

"James?" Luke and Mr. Preston exclaimed at the same time.The newcomer was James Brennan, my junior, who had joined the hospital as an intern at the same time as Kate."James Brennan, is this how you speak to the dean?" Luke chided with a frown. "Has studying abroad made you forget your manners?"James had studied abroad and was one of the few doctors in this hospital that wasn't under Luke's mentorship. Because of this, Luke had never liked James. He always saw the latter as a privileged rich kid who managed to worm his way into a medical career overseas.James raised his eyebrow, his handsome face outlined with mockery. "You're not a doctor in this hospital, Luke Spencer, and I'm not one of your students. You have no right to tell me off. Is this how hospitals here work, then? Does being a mentor allow you to criticize anyone you want?"Luke turned pale as he choked on his anger.James ignored him and waved the tablet he was holding, showing us footage from the hospital room of

I had been expecting Mr. Preston to show favoritism, but I hadn't expected it to be so blatant. "So, you already know that people think of her as a joke?"Brandon couldn't take it anymore. He cut me off before I could continue, "Even though this is Kate's first time trying to reassure the patient, he's been under her care all this time. She was just too nervous and felt sorry for his mother, so she misspoke. "This was an accident. Dr. Seville used this to target Kate!"Before I could say anything, Luke added, "Kate was wrong. I can't deny that. As her mentor, I'll make sure to review her knowledge of patient care. "But Amanda tried to take Kate's patient away from her, making all her efforts for the past two months meaningless. That's just too much!"Hearing this, Mr. Preston's expression darkened. He turned to glare at me.He had specially assigned the patient to Kate because of the unique nature of his case. Kate would benefit greatly from it, as he would be an excellent reso

I stood tall in all the glory of righteousness, staring down everyone at the scene.My other colleagues did not dare to intervene."Kate Horton, go back and copy the entire chapter on calming patients by hand ten times. I want you to recite all of it tomorrow at the office. You still remember the chapter from our undergraduate textbooks, right? Useless shit." I turned to leave but paused. "The patient is now under my care. For the next six months, you're not allowed to see any patients alone!""Stop right there!" Luke snapped, his voice regaining its usual authoritative tone. "The patient has been under Kate's care for two months. You have no right to take over. You're stealing her hard work!"I raised my eyebrows, sneering as I turned to point at Kate, who was still crying in Brandon's arms. "Two months, and she still doesn't know what triggers her patient? She almost killed him. You call that hard work?""I didn't—I said I was sorry," Kate sobbed."Sorry? What's the use of th
