My Wife's a Doctor and a Killer

The risks of my mom's heart transplant surgery are very high.

My wife, Wendy Lowell, is known to be a miracle doctor. Everyone advises me to convince her to perform the surgery on Mom.

But when I arrive at the hotel Wendy is staying at, I witness her assistant, Hayden Sterling, changing her panties for her.

I glare at Wendy angrily.

"Wendy, if you agree to perform the surgery on my mom right now, I'll let you off the hook this time!"

But Wendy slowly wraps her arms around Hayden's neck right in front of me.

"What are you looking at? Are you threatening me?"

She picks up her phone on the spot. "Switch off the oxygen machine for Finn's mother right now."

My eyes go bloodshot as I grip the door frame tightly.

"Wendy Lowell, that's your mother-in-law! Karma will definitely bite you in the ass!"

Wendy goes into an outburst as soon as she hears me.

"Shut up! If it wasn't for the fact that the hag found out about me and Hayden, our affair wouldn't have gotten leaked to the public!

"All I did is turn off your mom's oxygen machine, Finn! I didn't refuse the surgery! Once I've cooled off, I'll go ahead and carry out the surgery!"

Then, Wendy orders her bodyguards to throw me out of the hotel.

I scramble up to my feet in a wretched manner, though my hands have already balled into fists. Soon, I send a newly drafted text as an unknown number.

"Dr. Lowell has suffered from bone fractures all over her body. She's currently at…"

As soon as I sent my location, a bodyguard slapped my phone out of my hand.

A man and a woman stood at the hotel entrance, staring at me with mocking smiles.

"Well, well. If it isn't the famous Finn Kirkland. What's wrong? Money can't save your mother now?"

Wendy Lowell is the only person in the world who can perform my mom's surgery.

Money has lost its value.

She hated my mom now. No amount of money could change that.

I clenched my fists. "You're the one who cheated, Wendy. My mom was just protecting me. Are you really going to stand by and watch her die?"

The hotel belonged to the Lowell family.

Within seconds, dozens of bodyguards surrounded me.

Several employees stood off to the side as they laughed at my miserable state.

"Dr. Lowell, aren't you the heir to the Lowell family? Since when do people like him get to beg you for treatment?"

"Seriously. He even laid a hand on your assistant. He got what he deserved."

I stared at Wendy as she nestled in Hayden Sterling's arms.

The sight took me back to the past. Wendy used to hold me the same way.

She promised that I would never have to worry about sickness, old age, or death. She was a miracle doctor. She would protect my entire family.

Yet now, my mom was fighting for her life on an operating table, and Wendy couldn't care less.

With every passing second, my mom was a step closer to death.

I was about to beg her to let me return to the hospital when my mom's attending physician came running over.

"Mr. Kirkland, please. Just apologize to Dr. Lowell. Your mother is about to suffocate!"

Wendy smirked.

I silently closed my eyes, then opened them again.

I took a deep breath before saying, "Wendy, I'm—"

"Don't apologize to me. The person you owe an apology to is Hayden," she spat, cutting me off before I could finish.

I stared at her in disbelief.

"What? You want me to apologize to the homewrecker?"

My mind went blank.

I treated Wendy with the utmost respect and pampered her beyond reason for five years.

After all, she was the one who stood by me when my career was at its lowest point ten years ago.

I still remember how her eyes sparkled as she looked at me that night. "Finn, I want to grow old with you."

Back then, I was building my business from nothing. She wasn't the world-famous doctor she was today, either.

We had struggled through some hard years together. That was why I'd always felt like I owed her.

"Apologize to Hayden, and I'll let your mother live."

I slowly lifted my head when I heard her words.

My lips trembled. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that about you."

Hayden finally laughed.

"People like you never learn until someone teaches you a lesson," he said, turning to Wendy. "Are you really going to let him off that easily? It makes sense, though. You gave me 30 million to invest back then. You probably stopped loving him a long time ago."

I widened my eyes. "30 million?"
