Seeing James,my eyes teared up.
Since childhood,James had never let me suffer any grievances.
He'd been wary of Nathan,but I loved him.
So,James quietly supported Nathan's business to ensure our happiness.
My in-laws,protective,confronted James,but he wasn't one to back down.He called in a dozen security guards,ejecting Nathan's family from the hospital.
James assembled the best medical team.Hospital leaders visited to console me.
But my patients were in chaos.
Learning my hands were ruined,they dismissed the hospital's assurances of future surgeries,shouting,"What's your hospital doing,failing to protect a doctor?She earns you millions of dollars,yet you let a mistress wreak havoc,leaving Dr.Lawson to face a group of people alone!"
"Now her hands are useless.We don't know if she'll ever operate again,but my dad's life can't wait!"
I never expected Sarah Mitchell to jump from a building.Before she died,she posted a video online.
[Just when I was full of hope waiting for Director Lawson to arrange my surgery,within two minutes of joy,a group of people rushed in and beat Director Lawson,cutting her tendons with scissors.That woman accused Director Lawson of being a mistress,but she is the real mistress—the shameless one who did this evil deed. Director Lawson's husband even protected his mistress,hiding her away and telling Director Lawson not to make a fuss.Knowing Director Lawson's hands are ruined,I have no hope left.By posting this video before my death,I want everyone to know that our chance for a new lease on life has been destroyed by a pair of scoundrels.]
The video went viral,racking up likes and shares.People demanded Vanessa Reed's whereabouts.
Nathan,seeing the situation,couldn't reach me and messaged me to clear things up.
"Claire,do you know your patients are ruining Vanessa's life?Go clarify,and I'll divorce you."
Lol,you have no right to negotiate now.Currently,you're relying on your connections and money to hide Vanessa.Without my brother's support,I wonder what you'll use to hide her.
James moved fast.Nathan's business partners terminated contracts.
Nathan,once riding high,panicked.
Vanessa could no longer hide.
Her silhouette was photographed at a mansion.
The dozen who'd attacked me with her were arrested,all pointing to Vanessa as the ringleader.
James pressured Nathan to sell his company,but Nathan,to his credit,clung to it at a critical moment,though he lost tens of millions.
My family sent me abroad to seek treatment,hoping to restore my hands.
James forced Nathan to divorce me,reclaiming the mansion and car my parents gave us,tossing Nathan and Vanessa's belongings in the trash.
Cornered,Vanessa finally appeared.
She posted an apology online,looking pitiful,dressed shabbily on a couch.
"Dr.Lawson,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have had you beaten.I didn't know you were Nate's wife.I was impulsive.Please stop the online harassment.I'm depressed now.You're a doctor—you don't want to push me to death,right?"
Nathan backed her up.
"It's all my fault.I'll divorce you,compensate you,but please stop hounding Vanessa.She can't eat,lost ten pounds in a week."
Some netizens pitied the"tragic couple",claiming I pushed too hard.
They said my long hours and bad temper drove Nathan to cheat.
[Does the doctor have no fault?Her husband lost tens of millions dollars,his company's crumbling.He just sought his true love.]
But my patients'families flooded the comments.
They'd had hope,but my condition crushed them.
[You're defending her?Vanessa Reed ruined Dr.Lawson's hands and our families'hopes.I'll make her pay,no matter where she hides!]
Fearing the mob would find Vanessa,Nathan sent her abroad.
Before leaving,she sent me a message.
[I beat you.So what?You and your patients are all trash.As long as Nate protects me,you can't touch me.]
Arrogant little thing.
You might've been untouchable here,but abroad?Plenty of ways to deal with you.
