    “Sister, the police started investigating my case yesterday. I’m really scared. I’m afraid that once they find out the truth, they’ll take you away. You were always Mom’s precious one, raised with so much love and care. If you end up in a ce like that, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would ruin your future. So, please, drop the charges. Don’t call the police anymore. I’ve already promised Nate I won’t hold you responsible. It’s my way of repaying Mom and Dad. If the Dorsey family hadn’t adopted me, I wouldn’t even be alive. I don’t care about myself.” Susanna’s big eyes were full of tears, as if she was sacrificing herself for Vanessa.

    “Heh, but I care. I’ve never done anything illegal in my life. Even if I hate you, there are plenty of ways to get back at you. I would never risk my future and reputation for revenge. That’s why I have to get to the bottom of this and clear my name.” Vanessa answered firmly.

    Susanna’s fingers clenched her clothes, her body trembling.

    “Sister…” she bit her lip and spoke.

    “Don’t call me sister. I’ve told you, I don’t have a sister as vicious as you.” Vanessa shouted angrily. “Susanna, I absolutely did not leave a hemostat in your abdomen. As a well-known doctor, I have at least that much professional ethics. As for how the hemostat got into your abdomen, I’m sure you know the truth very well. Stop pretending. The police will soon find the evidence. Evil never prevails over good. You’d better take care of yourself.”

    She strode past her toward the elevator.

    The elevator doors happened to open.

    Nathan’s tall figure stepped out, and he bumped right into Vanessa.

    Vanessa hurriedly pushed the man away and walked toward the elevator.

    “Vanessa, what are you doing here?” Nathan grabbed her, his face full of suspicion.

    Behind them, Susanna’s body went limp and she copsed.

    “Suzy!” Nathan’s eyelids twitched as he shouted, immediately rushing toward her.

    Vanessa nced back coldly at that white lotus, let out a disdainful snort, and stepped into the elevator.

    “Quick, doctor, the patient has fainted!” Nathan held Susanna and rushed toward the ward. Susanna had already lost consciousness, and he shouted anxiously.

    Doctors and nurses hurried over.

    After a round of emergency rescue, Susanna regained consciousness.

    “Dr. Murray, why did she faint?” Nathan asked nervously.

    Now Susanna’s doctor had been reced by Jenny.

    Jenny replied, “Mr. Powell, the patient is physically weak and cannot withstand any stimtion. She must have experienced something very upsetting just now.”

    Stimtion?

    Nathan was startled, and soon, anger shed in his eyes.

    Vanessa, you wicked woman, you won’t rest until you’ve killed

    Susanna!

    He turned and strode out.

    In the corridor, Vanessa had not left.

    Just moments ago, as she was leaving, she had unexpectedly seen Jenny running toward Susanna’s ward.

    In that instant, she seemed frozen, as if a light had shed in her mind.

    It was impossible for Susanna to have put the hemostat into her own abdomen, but what if she had encountered a doctor whose skills

    matched her own?

    That was entirely possible!

    She clenched her fists, her gaze icy and terrifying.

    Why did Susanna want her to withdraw thewsuit? Was it really for her own good? Impossible!

    Susanna had never been a good person; she couldn’t wait for her to die.

    There was only one possibility: the police had already discovered something, and she was afraid!

    A glimmer of light seemed to appear in Vanessa’s dark eyes as she turned and entered the elevator.

    Security monitoring room.

    As Vanessa approached the door, she saw a tall, handsome figureing out of the security room.

    They ran right into each other.

    “It’s you?” Vanessa looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing

    here?”

    Evander’s deep, enigmatic eyes were unfathomable. He bent slightly and lowered his voice: “In our line of work, who doesn’t know a few security guards? The one inside is my brother.”

    “Oh.” Vanessa suddenly understood.

    “And you? What are you here for?” Evander smiled and asked in

    return.

    “I’m here to look into something.”

    “Then go on in. My brother will take care of you.” He looked rather mysterious.

    “Thank you.” Vanessa felt something was off, but at the moment, her mind was entirely on the medical ident, so she didn’t think much more and walked in.

    ***

    Half an hourter.

    On the street.

    Vanessa was about to raise her hand to hail a cab.

    Suddenly, a car, neither new nor old and of an unknown brand, pulled up steadily in front of her.

    The window rolled down.

    Evander’s handsome face appeared before her.

    She was taken aback.

    “Vanny, where are you going?” The man loungedzily in his seat, his
