Chapter 4My Wife Gave My Son’s Heart To Her Friend’s Son

“River, I’m begging you, please.”

Walter suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my arm tightly. He started to tear up.

“Ms. Anderson will really carry her words out. If she stops the supply for the specialized medication, dozens of patients with congenital heart diseases in the ICU will die tomorrow!”

Desperate cries suddenly exploded outside of my office.

A few family members of the patients heard the news and charged into my office, ignoring the security guards’ attempts in stopping them.

“Dr. Scott, I’m begging you, please save that child! You’re saving our lives too!”

“You can’t let the child die! You’re a doctor!”

Someone even charged forward to grab my white coat.

“Is your heart made out of stone? Just because of your own pride, you’re willing to let a dozen patients die?”

Finn could not help but cry. He collapsed onto the floor and was not willing to stand back up.

“Dr. Scott, my mother’s still undergoing dialysis. I can’t lose this job.”

Walter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pleaded with me before everyone.

“River, on behalf of all the staff members of this hospital as well as the dozens of patients, I beg you to take this surgery!”

I clenched my fists tightly. My knuckles turned white as my forehead throbbed.

I stared at Hailey’s confident expression as my eyes slowly turned bloodshot.

I heard a wheeling sound as someone seated on a wheelchair came into my office.

The crowd was forced to make way for the man wearing an expensive coat. His assistant pushed his wheelchair into my office.

It was Seth.

It had been ten years, yet his artificially pleasant face still made me nauseated.

“Everyone, please stop pressuring Dr. Scott.”

Seth coughed weakly and wiped his mouth with his handkerchief. He turned to the patients’ family members and surveyed them with his calculative eyes.

“After all, to Dr. Scott, Charlie’s life is not as important as his mood.

“It’s too bad for those innocent children waiting for the specialized medication. All of them would have to suffer because of him.”

Seth was smart for playing hard to get while stirring the pot.

The patients’ family members immediately exploded as they started to yell at me. Some of them even threw the files on my desk at me.

“No wonder your wife left you! You don’t even care about other people’s lives. A cold-blooded animal like you should die alone!”

Back then, Seth had also put up a pretentious front and fooled Hailey.

Together, they sent Jayden to hell.

“Do you think as long as you hold the moral high ground, you’ll be able to force me to give in?”

I slowly walked toward the stretcher and looked at Charlie, who was barely breathing.

“Didn’t you just curse me by saying I deserve to die alone?

“Let’s take a guess, if I’m operating on Charlie, do you think my scalpel will save him or slice through his aorta?

“I’ll personally open his chest and cut the stolen heart out. Then, I’ll watch as his blood runs dry.

“Do you still want me to operate on him?”
