Chapter 76
As soon as I finished speaking, a video started playing on the large screen outside the ICU.
Nancy’s voice filled the room, her tone soft and playful.
“Are you sure? You’re so heartless… It’s, making me a little scared.”
Everyone turned toward the screen in shock.
It was footage from Nancy’s private office, showing her sitting on Lucas’s lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck.NôvelDrama.Org content.
She wiggled her hips flirtatiously as she continued,
“Alright, alright, stop it. If you keep teasing me like this, how are you going to handle the consequences?”
Lucas gazed at her with lust in his eyes.
“I have to be heartless with Cody. Otherwise, how are we going to save our daughter, Ciara?”
“Keeping him in the ICU costs tens of thousands a day. Who knows if he’ll even survive?”
“I’d rather spend that money on Ciara than waste it on Cody and my nagging wife.”
“This is a rare opportunity. You better act fast!”
Nancy’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she broke into a wide grin.
“Finally, Ciara will be saved. Alright, I’ll handle the brain death report. No problem.”
“You just convince Lola to sign the donation papers. Without her signature, none of this will work. You need to make it happen!”
Lucas squeezed Nancy’s waist and smirked
“She’s a mess right now. She’ll agree to anything I say. Don’t worry.”
The video ended there.
The room was dead silent.
Nancy stood frozen in place. Her face was bright red, her body trembling.
Lucas’s face turned pale. He couldn’t say a word.
The reporters quickly turned their cameras from me to Nancy and Lucas.
“Dr. Jacky, what’s your opinion on this footage?”
“Dr. Nancy, how do you explain colluding with the patient’s family to falsify a diagnosis report?”
Dr. Jacky, sweating bullets, stammered, “We’ll need to conduct a thorough investigation before making any official statements…”
As he spoke, he tried to retreat, motioning for security to block the erowd, but I noticed him sneak a glare at Ryan before making his escape.
Ryan whispered to me, “Looks like my tech guy did a good job. If we hadn’t gotten the footage in time, they would’ve destroyed it tonight.”
I nodded gratefully, then stepped forward and slapped both Lucas and Nancy across the face.
“Once Cody recovers, I’ll deal with you two properly.”
“Divorcé, lawsuits, prison time… You won’t escape any of it.”
With that, Ryan signaled his team, and they immediately started preparing for the transfer.
One of the nurses, who had been the loudest in criticizing me earlier, now came over, eyes filled with regret.
“I’m so sorry. I was wrong to judge you. I’ll make extra copies of Cody’s medical records for you. Please, save him.”
I smiled forgivingly and accepted the files.
Everything was moving smoothly.
Nancy and Lucas, too ashamed to stay, disappeared without a word.
Two hours later, Cody was safely transferred to the best hospital in the state. His condition steadily improved, and I finally allowed myself to relax.
When my parents arrived, we all hugged and cried together.
Ryan stayed silent for a moment, then pulled out a USB drive.
“Lola, there’s more to that footage than what you’ve seen.”
I’ll hire the best lawyers for your divorce and the medical malpractice suit, but he rest… it’s up to you.”
