Chapter 1

The conference room was packed with doctors from every department, each one poised for the case review.I cleared my throat, started up the prepared PowerPoint, and began. "This case is for Jason Hamilton, male, five years old. He was first diagnosed at age three and has been on dialysis for two years now..."As I spoke, murmurs started among the crowd. I turned to the large screen behind me, realizing something was wrong.To my horror, my patient report was swapped out for a presentation called "Confession of an Affair”. Shock rooted me to the spot.Suddenly, the doors flew open with a bang. Emily Brown barged in, clutching her young child tightly. She grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked me off the stage. “You homewrecker! You’ve been after my husband and now you’re after my son’s life? I’m giving you what you deserve!” Before I could react, she picked up my laptop and smashed it down. I covered my head and quickly explained, “Ms. Brown, you’re mistaken. We can discuss

Chapter 2

Mark had once told me about Emily. He’d said she was the girlfriend of a former medical student he’d mentored, who tragically died in a car accident. Emily was already pregnant at the time, and eventually, her son, Jason, was diagnosed with kidney failure. Mark went out of his way to transfer Jason to our hospital, urging me to take special care of Emily and her son.Recently, though, testing had shown that Emily wasn’t a compatible kidney donor for Jason and that news seemed to have taken a toll on her mental state.Reminded of this, I spoke sincerely, “Look, I understand how desperate you are about Jason’s condition. Waiting for a kidney donor is a long process. But accusing me of being a homewrecker isn’t going to get him priority in the system.“Emily, you need to face reality. Mark and I have been married since graduation. I’m his legal family.”One of the senior leaders in the hospital nodded in agreement. “I supervised Mark when he first joined the hospital. I even appro

When Emily spoke, the whole room fell silent.The woman in charge hadn’t expected her to make such a demand and looked at her, awkwardly pursing her lips.All this effort to paint me as the “other woman” was just to convince my daughter to donate an organ to her son, who was born out of wedlock.My hands trembled as I took out my phone and called Mark, but he didn’t pick up. So, I sent him a message, urging him to get here quickly.Seeing that no one was backing her up, Emily pulled Jason to the front.“Jason has been sick since he was three, relying on dialysis for the last two years. He can’t run, play, or go to the park, and has never been to school. All he does every day is lie there, like a puppet with no life in him. And your daughter? She takes dance classes and travels for workshops, all funded by my husband!“Anna, do you really want me, his rightful wife, to beg you on my knees before you agree to save Jason?”“Miss, my mom always taught me to share. Can’t you ask your

Emily clutched her face, shouting furiously, “Are you really going to let our son die just for her?”I wiped the blood from my forehead, smiling bitterly. “Mark, with your illegitimate son so old now, I want a divorce!”The crowd looked on in confusion, their eyes darting between me and Emily.“Mark, if she just agrees to let Mia donate the kidney, our son still has a chance!” Emily insisted.Mark’s face was stormy as he snapped at her, “You’re insane! Stop causing trouble here and leave!”Then, turning to me, he softened his tone. “Anna, we need to get that injury on your head looked at. Once you’re better, I’ll explain everything.”Even though I felt unsteady, I stubbornly brushed off his attempt to support me. “I’ll go to the ER myself. You stay here and explain things to these people.”Mark tried to follow me, but reporters quickly surrounded him.“Dr. Hamilton, your wife was being harassed by another woman. Do you have any comments on that?”“How long has your affair with

I had anticipated that Mark wouldn’t agree to the divorce so easily. He still needed my dad’s connections and wouldn’t want to jeopardize that by fighting with me. However, I wasn’t going to stand by and let them drag my name through the mud.Once discharged from the hospital, I went straight home to gather evidence: our marriage certificate, Mia’s birth certificate, and other important documents. Then, I headed to the hospital to speak with the director, hoping they’d issue a statement.As soon as I stepped off the elevator, I saw a crowd gathering outside the office.“Where’s Anna Miller? Hand over that homewrecker!”“Yeah! Did she or did she not neglect her duties? Let her come out here and explain herself!”“My dad’s been on the transplant list for three years. Has she been blocking it behind the scenes?”“Same here! I questioned her treatment plans, and suddenly my mom’s condition worsened. She’s definitely taking revenge on us!”Their voices grew louder, and the direct

“Heh, I knew the truth ages ago. Anna is Randall Miller’s daughter, and he’s a big shot! There’s no way his daughter would lower herself to be some homewrecker!”“You knew and didn’t say anything? I’ve been cursing Dr. Miller online for days!”“Stealing someone’s husband and then labeling the wife a mistress, all to take their daughter’s kidney? This scumbag couple has no limits!”“Dr. Miller worked herself to the bone trying to treat her son, and the mom turns around and slanders her? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!”“This time, I doubt there’s any hidden twist. Alright, everyone, get ready to aim and fire at the mistress!”The internet was full of people condemning Emily, but I had no time to worry about it.My dad had flown in unexpectedly and asked me to bring Mia to join him for lunch. When we arrived, he was in the middle of a video meeting. While waiting, Mr. Smith placed a stack of files in front of me.“Here’s the full story on Mark and Emily. Take a look.”

Chapter 7

Mark agreed to the divorce, even saying he’d leave with nothing as long as he could see Mia whenever he wanted. Since I didn’t want Mia caught up in our issues, I agreed.We set a date a month later to finalize the papers at the courthouse, and then he headed back to the hospital. However, after he left, a sense of unease settled over me. I called my dad, but Mr. Smith answered instead, and I was suddenly at a loss for words.Mr. Smith reassured me with a chuckle. “Anna, whatever happens, remember to trust Mr. Miller. You, of all people, know his character best.”That was true. My father had always been the most upright person I knew. The day I decided to study medicine, he told me he wouldn’t make things easier for me and never did. Even after I became a doctor, he never intervened. If he hadn’t helped his own daughter, he certainly wouldn’t have offered Mark any favors without good reason.I hung up, still restless, unable to sleep. Finally, I called the hospital, where

Chapter 8

A month later, Mark and I finalized the divorce. As we walked out of the courthouse, he flashed me a smug smile."I’m being transferred to the city soon, so I won’t be around much,” he said. “How about a farewell dinner to thank my former father-in-law?”Without another glance, I turned and walked away.When I got home, I handed the evidence Mr. Smith had uncovered about Mark’s crimes to the authorities. During the investigation into Mark and Emily, Mr. Smith found that Mark had numerous assets of suspicious origin. Tracing this lead further, they discovered he had been taking bribes for years. The matter caught the attention of officials, and they sent a team to investigate.However, as soon as the inquiry began, Mark disappeared. The investigative team came to question me, and I told them I hadn’t seen him since the divorce.One night while I was on duty, Emily burst into the ward covered in blood, holding a small medical cooler and looking half-crazed.“Jason can be save
