My Wife’s Cruel Secret and My Sister’s Death Chapter 08 The Stolen Credit

Henry, Rachel, and the rest of our medical colleagues stepped forward and surrounded me protectively.

Henry stared at Lucas.

“So you’re the man who stole my student’s research?”

Rachel shoved Lucas aside.

Henry looked at him coldly, then turned to Claire.

He had known all about Seren’s work while she was developing the surgical plan.

Seeing Claire now only made him angrier.

“I don’t think your legs are your biggest problem. You should get your eyes checked first.

“You betrayed my student and Rhys for a man like this?”

Humiliated in front of everyone, Claire’s face turned bright red.

She pulled Lucas to her side.

“You don’t get to talk about Lucas like that. If any of you came here looking for trouble, I’m happy to give you all the trouble you want.”

Then she looked at Rachel’s hand on my arm.

Disgust filled her face.

“Rhys, I can’t believe you found your next woman the second you left me.”

“Oh, screw you!” Rachel snapped.

She lunged forward to kick over Claire’s wheelchair, but I stopped her.

“Claire, we’re divorced. What I do is none of your business.”

Then I looked at Lucas.

“I already accepted your apology, Lucas. So what’s with all the excuses? I’ve never heard of someone being too guilty to perform surgery. Unless, of course, you never knew how to do it in the first place.”

“Quit making shit up about me.”

Lucas gritted his teeth, trying hard to keep his cool.

I looked over at the operating room with a smile.

“Alright, then. What are you waiting for? Go finish the surgery.”

Claire’s expression turned downright ugly when I brushed her off. Still, she softened her voice for Lucas.

“Lucas, don’t worry about anything out here. Just do the surgery. Leave Rhys to me. I’ll put him in his

Claire was wheeled back into the operating room.

Lucas picked up a scalpel.

Fine sweat covered his forehead.

The anesthesiologist was about to begin when a metal instrument hit the floor with a loud clatter.

Lucas’s fingers shook uncontrollably.

One tool after another slipped from his hands.

Now everyone could see something was wrong.

The whispers started immediately.

“What is going on? Dr. Hayes looks way too nervous for someone who supposedly developed this procedure. I swear I could do better than that.”

“Yeah. He’s just putting on a show. I bet he can’t actually do any of it.”

Claire heard every word.

She was already running out of patience.

When another instrument clattered to the floor, she finally snapped.

She grabbed Lucas by the wrist and screamed, “Can you do the damn surgery or not?”

Lucas had completely lost his nerve.

His face went pale, his knees hit the floor, and his whole body trembled with fear.

Claire’s expression turned black with fury.

At last, she understood.

Lucas had been lying to her the entire time.

Her eyes were bloodshot with rage.

Then she went ballistic, knocking everything off the operating table.

Glass shattered across the floor.

“Tell me!”

Her scream tore through the room.

“Who was it? Who actually saved me?”

She forced Lucas to the floor and set a bottle of sulfuric acid in front of him.

Ha panicked.

“Emma Carter! It was Emma Carter!”

The second he said Seren’s name, the entire room went silent.
