The collision occurred in a flash; Matias leapt forward to protect me, only to be struck and hurled aside by an oncoming truck.
He was immediately taken to surgery. I, however, sat calmly, engrossed in a mobile game as if nothing had happened.
Shortly after, Odette Hewitt, the doctor overseeing my husband's care, burst through the doors, her face etched with urgency.
"Dr. Scott, your husband has no brain function! You're our only hope; please, come quickly!"
Her words pierced the quiet like a knife, her eyes pleading with me.
After all, I was the sole physician in the region who had successfully treated a patient with no brain activity.
Without looking up from my phone, I responded coolly, "As the patient is my spouse, hospital policy prevents me from conducting the operation."
My mother-in-law fell to the floor before me, repeatedly touching her head to the ground as she begged.
"Verena, I implore you, help Matias! He's in this state because he tried to protect you!"
I avoided her shaking hands, showing her my swollen right wrist, a faint, cynical smile on my face.
"Regrettably, I accidentally damaged my wrist tendon today. I'm unable to hold surgical instruments now."

"You have one child. My mother and father had just one daughter, and I too have only one little girl!"


"When you sent my daughter to the rural areas, it was practically killing her!"


"Did you ever consider how the child of those you hit with your car and abandoned would survive when you fled the scene?"


Alastor and Milana were stunned into silence.


Milana's eyes grew wide with shock as she muttered, "It can't be... How could you be their offspring..."


An intense wave of anger washed over me, more powerful than ever before.


"Nothing's impossible in this world. You believed you'd evaded justice for over ten years, but now the law has finally caught up."
