Chapter 198: Chapter 199

Chapter 199 When Righteousness and Morality Prevail The woman lay on the stretcher, barely breathing. As she was wheeled past Angela, a strong smell of blood filled the air. The mole on her wrist hung down, giving Angela a sense of familiarity.

It’s her! The female driver Samuel killed last lifetime! Angela widened her eyes and glanced at the woman’s blood–stained face, but before she could get a better look, the woman was pushed into the emergency room. A group of doctors rushed in and out, frantic and busy.

Angela stepped aside and found a chair to sit down. Although she had had a second chance at life and learned medicine, she still felt uncomfortable when faced with someone soaked in blood. Moreover, she still harbored deep guilt toward that person.

In their previous life, Samuel drove under the influence, violated traffic rules, and hit that woman. Since there was no surveillance footage or eyewitnesses at the scene, her family wanted someone to take the blame. Angela, who was neglected by her parents, naturally became the best choice. It was one of the few instances of weak goodwill shown to her by her so–called family at the time.

“Angela, only you can help Samuel get through this.” Scarlet wiped her tears, holding Angela’s hand. “If Samuel goes behind bars, his whole life will be done for.”

But what about her life? Alas, nobody ever cared about her.

Angela kept a stern face, feeling somewhat unwilling.

James smoked, his brows furrowed, his face looking grim. “Angela, we’ll find the best lawyer to handle your case. It’s best if we can settle it privately, but if you end up going in... we won’t fail you. Still, don’t worry too much. I’ve got everything under control.

Everything will be fine!” His tone carried a hint of assurance and coldness.

As reluctant as Angela was, for the sake of so–called family ties, she didn’t resist.

On the other hand, the main culprit, Samuel, behaved the most relaxed, lounging comfortably on the couch. “Angela, let’s say, worst–case scenario, if you end up inside, we’ll use money to smooth things over. We won’t let you get bullied in there. If you take this on for me, you’ll be my dearest sister henceforth.”

Fanny, on the side, chimed in softly, “Yes, we’ll visit you often.”

“The other party doesn’t seem to be from a wealthy family anyway. We can just offer them more compensation if needed,”

Samuel said impatiently.

“Got it, Mom...”

“Learn from your mistakes. Samuel won’t dare to do it again,” Fanny said with a cheerful smile.

While the victim lay in the emergency room, they chatted as if it were just another day.

Angela didn’t utter a word while they had already resolved all her “worries” Alas, she had to bear this blame, whether she wanted to or not.

She had secretly gone to see the female driver before and had seen the prominent black mole on her wrist, which was why she could recognize the woman almost immediately now.

The woman’s husband used to be a truck driver. After an accident left him disabled with both legs and unable to work, the woman started running a business with a van to make money. Also, she had two children at home, one ten years old and the other seven, as well as a mother–in–law who needed medication year–round. She was practically the breadwinner of the family.

At the time, Angela wondered about whether to find a way to get more compensation for the family so that they wouldn’t sue Samuel, and their family could also receive some income. At least for the Kinses, money wasn’t an issue. Unfortunately, the woman didn’t make it in the end.

The police investigated the scene thoroughly but found no significant clues or evidence. Angela hadn’t thought much of it before, but now she couldn’t help feeling amazed at James‘ resourcefulness–bullying a family with no one to support them, using all sorts of tactics. In the end, the woman was determined to be primarily responsible for the accident, and Samuel only had to bear some humanitarian compensation.

Angela felt very guiltys If she hadn’t taken the blame, and the woman’s family had known that Samuel was driving under the influence, they might not have been able to save her life, but they could have at least demanded more compensation. Angela had suggested this at the time. But how did the Kinses react? They thought she was crazy, disloyal, and had no conscience... In short, they didn’t think well of her.

Angela bit her lip, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes. Let’s see who will take the blame for him this time. Since you’ve done wrong, you’ll have to pay the price! You’re not getting away so easily this time, Samuel.

She stood up and looked toward the emergency room, feeling distressed. She hoped someone could save the woman, for if she died, even if Angela could provide a ton of money now, it wouldn’t heal the pain of the children losing their mother. But she also knew that this 2/4 自 MM M M M Chapter 199 When Righteousness and Morality Prevail hope was slim.

Jonathan’s eyes flickered slightly as he leaned in to inquire, “Do you know her?”

Angela bit her lip and didn’t hide it from him. “Yeah, can she be saved?”

80% 11,05 +5 Free Coins After asking, she felt silly. Jonathan might be powerful, but he wasn’t a doctor. Why ask him? Then, her gaze shifted to Daniel beside her.

Daniel blinked in response, then explained, “I think it’s unlikely. When I passed by just now, I saw signs of internal bleeding, which is very dangerous. There are probably multiple fractures, too. Even if she is saved, the subsequent medical expenses would be too much for an ordinary family to bear.”

Does that mean it’s basically impossible to save her? What if money isn’t the issue? The woman in her past life never got to this stage.

Angela looked at Daniel, wanting to ask him for help. Will the chances be greater if Daniel, the genius surgeon, performs the surgery himself? But who am I to beg him? After all, every doctor has their arrangements. Moreover, it’ll be one thing if the surgery, which we seize from another doctor, succeeds. What if it fails? Daniel will be criticized, and it might even affect his career. Unexpectedly, Jonathan spoke up lightly just then, “Daniel, you go.”

The genius surgeon was taken aback, his alluring eyes squinting. “Me?” Dude, have you forgotten that I just got off surgery?!

Jonathan looked at Angela’s anxious expression and pursed his lips slightly. “Saving a life is the noblest act, greater than any worldly accomplishment. Isn’t this what you, as a doctor, should do?”

Daniel couldn’t help finding him ridiculous. When are you ever this righteous and moral? Aren’t you capitalists all ruthless?

Angela’s eyes brightened as she looked hopefully at Daniel, reassuring him, “I promise you, even if she didn’t make it, her family won’t trouble you. Rest assured.”

In her past life, the family members also respected the police’s conclusion very much. They didn’t utter a word of blame to Angela, the scapegoat, and were very grateful for the so–called humanitarian compensation. They were a kind and honest family but didn’t get a good ending.

Daniel sighed softly, but without much hesitation, he communicated with the medical staff, then immediately changed into surgical attire and returned to the emergency room.

Angela smiled gratefully at Jonathan. “Thank you. This matter is quite complicated. I’ll 3/4 80% 11:05 Chapter 199 When Righteousness and Morality Prevail explain it to you another day.”

Angela couldn’t help but look up at the man’s tense jawline and felt a flutter in her heart a while later.
