My Sister Died on the Mistress' Operating TableChapter 1

My sister was in a car accident, and the first person I called was my husband — a renowned surgeon.

He promised me he would operate on her himself.

But when we reached the operating room, I watched in disbelief as he handed the scalpel to his intern, Ivy Marchand — a girl who hadn’t even graduated yet — and then walked off to the corner to revise her thesis.

“Teacher,” Ivy’s voice trembled as she froze mid-surgery, “I-I accidentally cut into the patient’s brain while opening the skull. The bleeding won’t stop. What should I do?”

She turned pale, panic-stricken, and fled to him, throwing herself into his arms as tears streamed down her face.

My husband glanced at the flat line flashing on the monitor.

After a long silence, he gently patted her head, his voice unnervingly soft.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle everything.”

Then he walked out, meeting my horrified gaze with a detached calm.

“The operation failed,” he said lightly. “Prepare for your sister’s funeral.”

I grabbed his arm, my voice shaking.

“It was a simple craniotomy! She was perfectly fine before the operation. How could it fail?”
