Chapter 2

Looking at Jack's angry face as he accused me, I suddenly remembered my past life when I had encountered this same sick passenger on my way home for Christmas.

My husband had pushed me forward to save him. I had hesitated, "But I just got my medical license. I'm not allowed to practice independently yet. Maybe we should just call the train attendant for help."

Jack had been very anxious. "Can't you see how much pain this man is in? Who knows how long it will take for the attendant to come."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You're doing a good deed by saving a life. Don't hesitate, go quickly!"

So, urged on by Jack, I had gone forward and knelt beside the man. I had just checked his pulse and complexion when he suddenly stopped breathing.

The woman had shouted that I had killed her husband.

Jack had also admitted in front of the train attendant and everyone else that I wasn't qualified to practice independently, placing all the responsibility on me, saying it was my improper treatment that led to the man's death.

In an instant, I had been cursed by everyone and pushed to the top of public opinion.

As a result, I had been sentenced to seven years in prison for illegal medical practice and intentional injury.

It was only later that I learned it had all been a trap set up by Jack in advance.

He had bribed a terminally ill cancer patient beforehand. The man didn't have long to live anyway and wanted to earn some money for his family before he died.

Before boarding the train, the man had already taken medication that conflicted with his condition. As time passed, the drug took effect, so whether I tried to save him or not, he would have died anyway!

Coming back to the present, I heard the accusations of the crowd.

"My God, this woman is still smiling!"

"Which hospital does she work at? How can there be such a vicious doctor!"

"I found out, she's a doctor at Mercy General Hospital. Everyone, let's report her quickly. It would be terrible if we ever encountered her as patients!"

"Yes! Report her! The hospital must fire her! She's too vicious!"

Hearing the angry curses of the crowd, I found it extremely amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jack looked even more furious. "I can't believe I was so blind! I never imagined you were this kind of person!"

I ignored him and calmly sat back down in my seat. The train attendant arrived, and the woman kept shouting, "It's her! She killed my husband! She's a doctor but she refused to save him! This beast!"

But I hadn't done anything wrong, so the attendant could only gently comfort the woman, telling her not to be sad.

Soon, the train arrived at the station, and the attendant took the woman and her husband away.

I noticed that before getting off the train, the woman's gaze swept over to me, seemingly unintentional, and Jack, sitting next to me, made a small gesture with his hand. Only then did the woman leave with peace of mind.

I laughed inwardly, pretending not to know anything as I admired the scenery rushing past outside the window.

After the attendant left, people started discussing again, even calling me a murderer by name.

Someone, in a fit of anger, threw their water bottle at me. "Just die!"

I blocked it and calmly spoke, "He wasn't killed by me. What did I do wrong?"

"As a doctor, refusing to save a life is wrong!"

"Which law states that I must save someone? Moreover, I just got my medical license. As a novice, I wouldn't dare to act rashly."

Some people wavered. "That's true. If you had tried to save him and something went wrong, it would definitely have been your fault."

"Yeah, that makes sense. If it were me, I wouldn't dare either..."

As people's opinions started to shift, suddenly a shrill female voice rang out, "But if you had tried to save him, he might not have died. Now he's dead!"

I looked towards the voice and suddenly smiled. This woman was Mia Thompson, Jack's mistress. Everything that had happened today was a conspiracy between her and Jack.
