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."

Brain-Dead Husband's Last Hope Denied

There he was, crouching before me, weeping and imploring for the very woman who had attempted to take my life.

"I'm the one who requested the paternity test be falsified... I apologize... I'm so sorry... The blame lies solely with me."


I remained motionless, like a lifeless marionette, my eyes vacant as I gazed at Matias, now weeping at my feet, begging for clemency.


The live broadcast had descended into mayhem, with comments flying across the screen at breakneck speed.


"What's happening? Is this some kind of unexpected plot twist?"


"So the child isn't Verena's?! Matias was unfaithful and swapped the infant?!"


"Hold on... Odette's father is the hospital's director? I just checked; he has no daughters except Odette, which means she's born out of wedlock!"
