Chapter 08
So it was for such an absurd reason–Molly had gone so far as to cause the death of my child just to be with a man.
“She killed my child… Can I sue her?”
My hands instinctively clenched the blanket, wanting to seek justice for my baby.
“This… The child hadn’t been born yet, so it can’t be considered a life. So…”
“So Molly can’t be considered guilty.”
The two officers hesitated for a long time
before explaining. But those words still broke my heart deeply.
“What about Edward?”

“As for Dr. Scott, the hospital will impose the appropriate punishment.”
I closed my eyes, tears falling involuntarily from the corners of my eyes.
Two people responsible for killing my child would not face the punishment they deserved.
But Edward hit Molly.
As soon as he left the police station, Edward punched Molly in the face.
Molly, barely 5 feet tall, weak as a kitten, was knocked sideways by Edward’s punch.
Thankfully, the police stopped him in time, or Molly would have been left disfigured.

Edward was taken back by the police and detained for fifteen days.
Molly, her head wrapped in bandages, came to my hospital room to find me. In front of everyone, she knelt at my feet.
“Phoenix, it’s my fault. I’m guilty. I just liked Edward too much… I was blinded by my feelings!”
Blinded by her feelings? She was still trying to find excuses for her actions. These two wretches really knew how to justify their own misdeeds.
“But I never meant to harm the baby. I thought you were eight months pregnant, so everything would be stable!”
I slapped her across the face, not sure where exactly I hit, and blood began to seep

through the bandages.
“Did you not know? You’re a gynecologist, how could you not know?”
“How did you even become a gynecologist if you didn’t know how dangerous pregnancy could be for a woman?”
Phoenix kept crying and kowtowing, apologizing, while the onlookers gathered around, pointing and whispering.
Only then did I understand her intent.
Although everyone was judging her, the pressure was also bearing down on me. If I let her kneel there, I would only be fueling their gossip.
But that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be the spectacle!
