Chapter 4

As we approached the hospital, I took off my earphones. Mia Thompson started shouting in pain again, and soon a nurse came with a wheelchair to take her to the examination room.

I was sitting idly outside the examination room, about to take out my phone when Jack suddenly nudged me, "Emily, even though we just met her on the train, we should help her as much as we can. She's pregnant and it's not convenient for her. Why don't you go in and see if there's anything you can do to help?"

I looked at him, and Jack quickly added, "It's not appropriate for me, a man, to go in and help. Just go in and keep an eye on things."

Unable to refuse, I thought to myself that I would avoid anything related to medical matters to not give them a chance to frame me.

So I walked in and had just asked, "Do you need me to do anything?" when Mia Thompson suddenly screamed for help.

"Help! Don't hurt me!"

"What are you trying to do? Someone help me!"

I then realized that the nurse who had been there earlier had left at some point, and now only Mia Thompson was in the examination room.

At the same time, her hand reached under her clothes, fiddling with something.

I came to my senses and was about to turn and leave when suddenly the door of the examination room was pushed open violently, and the nurse walked in. "What's all the shouting about? What happened?"

The nurse's eyes swept over and suddenly froze. "Why are you suddenly bleeding so much?"

"Quick, quick, call the doctor!"

Mia Thompson started crying and wailing. She pointed at me, "It's this woman who tried to hurt me, to make me miscarry! I want to call the police! Arrest her!"

I curled my lips. She dares to frame me and still wants to call the police?

But the next second proved me wrong. Jack rushed in, "No, we can't call the police!"

"My wife just became a doctor. She has a bright future ahead. How can we let her have a criminal record!"

"Miss, whatever demands you have, we'll agree to them. Just please don't call the police!"

I watched coldly as these two acted out their play. I wanted to see exactly what they were trying to do.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mia Thompson thought I was really scared. She seized the opportunity and said, "Give me a million dollars, or I'll call the police and send your wife to jail!"

So that's what this was about. I suddenly smiled. A month ago, my parents had sold our family property and received a million dollars. Jack had set his sights on this money.

In my past life, I had fallen for their scheme on the train, and they had successfully gotten the money my parents left for me. But in this life, I'm sorry, I won't let you have your way!

Jack hurriedly agreed, sounding anxious, "Okay! We'll give it to you. Just don't call the police!"

He turned his head and whispered in my ear, "Honey, as long as you're okay, I'll do anything."

"You have that million dollars from your parents selling the property, right? Give it to her first, and I'll slowly pay you back later."

I found his act of trying to suppress his excitement while pretending to be anxious really amusing. I also pretended to reply, "It's okay. I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not afraid."

Jack grabbed my arm, "No, honey. If you go to jail, what will I do? I absolutely can't let you go to jail!"

I ignored him again, shaking off his hand and stepping forward, "Go ahead and call the police. If you don't, I'll do it for you!"

I noticed Mia Thompson's eyes darting around the examination room. Then she immediately shouted angrily, "Fine! You won't listen until it's too late! You hurt me and still pretend to be innocent. I'm definitely going to send you to jail!"

I raised an eyebrow, smiling as I watched her call the police.

Jack, Mia Thompson, I have a big surprise for you too. I hope you won't be too shocked.
