Everyone was startled.
“Evelyn, what are you doing?” Angela stepped forward, “I always thought you treated Henry poorly just
because you didn’t like him. I never expected you couldn’t bear to see anything good
to Henry.*
“Even if you want to deal with Henry, Dr. Watson is innocent. His hands have saved over a thousand
people. How can you be so heartless?”
She shielded Dr. Watson behind her.
However, Old Mrs. Wilson and Old Mr. Wilson were swayed and immediately stood up to
support her.
“Evelyn, this is intentional harm. Call the police and arrest her,” Old Mr. Wilson angrily
demanded.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Evelyn dismissed it. “Dr. Watson hasn’t said a word yet.‘

Watson looked at Evelyn, his face now pale, whether from pain or fear that Evelyn knew his
secret.

He opened his mouth, attempting to speak, but in the face of Evelyn’s eyes, the words choked
in his throat.
Even Old Mr. Wilson was stunned by Evelyn.
When he came to his senses, his face darkened. “You’ve injured him like this just to silence
him and make him back off, haven’t you?”
“Dean Foley, quickly check on Dr. Watson. See how his hand is injured and if he can still
perform the surgery.”
Watson, adept at gauging the situation, immediately realized that Old Mr. Wilson held more
authority here. After some consideration, he didn’t want to give up on this surgery.
Although retired, his passion for medical achievements still burned within him. Once finish this surgery
on Henry, he could receive a prestigious medical award, something he had dreamt of
for a long time.
Seeing Watson’s reaction, Evelyn’s expression darkened.
She thought that such a world–renowned doctor would at least have some conscience, but
she had overestimated Watson.
“As for today’s surgery…”
“As for today’s surgery, we will contact another doctor to lead it,” Ava suddenly spoke.
She stood beside Evelyn, her gaze unkindly flicking towards Watson.
“Ava, how can you??” Old Mrs. Wilson was very puzzled.
Ava sneered, “That’s a question for Dr. Watson.”

She held Evelyn’s hand and unfolded it, revealing a heart–shaped origami inside, something Evelyn
had casually folded at an auction when she felt bored.
In front of everyone, Ava crumpled the origami into a ball.
Seeing the delicate and small origami turned into a crumpled piece of trash, Old Mrs. Wilson seemed to
recall something, and her head felt dizzy with shock.
“As you can see, this origami has been in Evelyn’s hand the whole time. If she had used all her
strength when she pulled Dr. Watson just now, the origami should have ended up as wrinkled as
it is after I crushed it. So. Evelyn didn’t exert any force just now. The severe pain was due to the

fact that he had been having trouble with his hand for some time.”
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze focused on Dr. Watson.

It was well–known that brain surgeries required extreme precision and a high level of accuracy in the
surgeon’s hands. A damaged hand would be incapable of performing such delicate procedures.
Dean Foley hadn’t expected the truth to be like this, and his face turned as pale as paper.
He dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if the surgery had proceeded as
planned and what kind of measures The Wilson family would have taken against him if this happens.
“Dean Foley.” Dr. Watson persisted, “You have to believe me.”
“Don’t

Dr. Watson’s gaze then shifted to Angela.
Angela’s cheeks burned from the reality hitting her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I never thought you would dare to deceive even The Wilson family,” Angela stepped back to Old Mrs.
Wilson’s side, “Grandma, it’s all my fault for being too naive. I almost fell for his deception.”
With tearful eyes, she blamed herself, and Old Mrs. Wilson instantly shifted the blame onto Watson,
overlooking Angela’s true intentions.
“It’s not your fault. You did it for Henry’s sake.”
Under the vigilant and hostile gazes of everyone, Watson cowered. He tidied his clothes reluctantly,
and before leaving, he shot a resentful glance at Evelyn.
Seeing this, Evelyn turned to Alexander.
Understanding her silent request, Alexander silently followed Watson…
Dean Foley, hoping to make amends, spoke up, “There are only a few renowned brain specialists in the
country, including Benjamin Mitchell and Nicholas Turner. If we can get either. of them, the surgery
would likely succeed, but…”

“These two are affiliated with the NS Research Institute. Their visits depend entirely on their mood,”
The moment the NS Research Institute was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
The institute had stood for decades, shrouded in mystery. No one knew its location or who its owner
was, but its fame was widespread because it housed experts from various fields,
