After He Tortured Me to Death, I Crippled Him

Chapter 2

It turned out that in the massive pileup accident a year ago, Brian wasn't the only one who had suffered severe injuries. So had the eldest son of the Miller family's greatest enemy, Charles Stone.

After that horrific crash, Charles suffered an intracranial hematoma that compressed his brainstem, causing severe traumatic brain injury and brain herniation.

He fell into a vegetative state. His condition was hanging between life and death, lying motionless in a hospital bed on life support. At any moment, he could suffer brain death.

A human life was on the line. I immediately agreed to Mrs. Stone's request.

However, the next day, I received an invitation to a medical conference held by a hospital under the Miller family's name.

The topic was, naturally, Brian's legs. But this time, Cathy was going to announce at the conference that she would be Brian's lead surgeon.

Maria still hadn't given up on asking me to treat Brian. Using the last bit of favor I owed her, she begged me to attend the conference and supervise the procedure.

At the conference venue, Cathy stayed by Brian's wheelchair the entire time. She looked at him with such affection that it was as if everyone else there had disappeared.

Maria quietly took my hand. Her face was filled with worry as she sighed.

"Dr. Nelson, Cathy may be talented, but at the end of the day, she's only a medical intern. I'm really afraid she'll ruin Brian's life. As a mother, I'm worried about my son. I've watched over Brian all these years. I feel his pain more than anyone..."

Before I could say anything to comfort her, Cathy pushed Brian's wheelchair over.

She spoke proudly, "Maria, don't worry. I will definitely make Brian stand again!"

Brian tightly held Cathy's hand, his eyes full of tenderness. "Cathy, when I can walk again, I'll give you the grandest wedding ever."

"Brian, I believe in you."

Cathy turned her head toward me. A smug smile slowly spread across her face, her expression full of provocation.

"I'm not like those so-called doctors who only know how to deceive people. I guarantee I can heal Brian's legs."

The moment she finished speaking, the expressions of several famous doctors who had previously treated Brian changed instantly.

"Miss Green, that's quite a bold claim. Are you really so certain you can cure Mr. Miller's legs?"

"You're just an intern. How dare you question our medical abilities? Even the world-renowned surgeon Dr. Nelson said Mr. Miller's legs couldn't be cured. I refuse to believe a rookie like you has the ability to do what none of us could."

Although Brian felt that Cathy had spoken too arrogantly, he still defended her.

"No matter what, I believe Cathy can cure me!"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. A laugh escaped my lips.

Cathy thought I was mocking her. Her face darkened as she gritted her teeth and sneered. "Dr. Nelson, although you are famous in the medical field, you rejected the Miller family first, and then you rejected the Stone family. It's hard not to suspect that you're actually just a fraud pretending to be a doctor."

I smiled. "I'm looking forward to the day when you make Mr. Miller stand again."

Seeing that I wasn't angry but actually smiling, Cathy bit her lip. Her widened eyes were filled with resentment as she lifted her chin.

"Are you upset because I stole your spotlight? I know Maria likes you and wants you to marry Brian, but right now, I'm the only person who can heal his legs."

Brian, sitting in his wheelchair, immediately joined in and mocked me, "Even if you really had the ability to cure me, don't even think about stepping through the doors of the Miller family. At the end of the day, you're just a quack doctor. My mother was simply fooled by you. But don't think you can fool me. The only person I love is Cathy. I will only marry her. Even if you keep showing up in front of me again and again, I won't spare you a second glance."

Watching them act like the perfect couple, I only felt annoyed.

"Mrs. Miller invited me here to examine Cathy's medication plan. Since you trust Miss Green so much, there is no need for me to interfere."

I turned around to leave.

But Cathy reached out and blocked my way. "What exactly do you mean by that?"

I frowned and looked at her as if I was looking at someone who lacked common sense.

"Exactly what I said. If you don't understand, go look it up in a dictionary."

Cathy let out a cold laugh. "Do you dare to make a bet with me? Let's bet on who can cure Brian's legs. The loser will kneel down, apologize, and quit the medical field forever."

I stopped. Slowly, I turned around and looked at her.

"I'll take that bet. But I'm not treating him. I'll treat Charles Stone instead."
