The message "Inputting" kept appearing on the other end, but in the end, he didn’t send anything.

I sent Kelly’s Disneyland grid, along with a screenshot of the medical malpractice news.

"Steven, she killed our child, right?"

All I received was a red exclamation mark. He had blocked me.

I went back to my Instagram, but Kelly’s posts had all been deleted, leaving only a solitary apology.

[The patient treated us to dinner to express his gratitude for saving his child. We got drunk and played games and I lost the dare. The patient’s family asked me to choose a male present to post on Instagram. Doctor Steven was worried I’d feel wronged, so he went along with it. I apologize for causing a bad impression.]

The accompanying image was a crying, bowing kitten.

Steven commented, [Don’t be afraid, Kelly. I’ve got your back. Don’t let them bully you.]

The following comments were endless.

[We all know it. It must have been a joke. Just a disgusting joke from the family. There’s nothing we can do about it.]
