Chapter 504 The Truth is Finally Revealed
In the hospital corridor, Katherinesaw Giorgio was chatting with a doctor.
And that doctor was Dr. Johnson.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she walked over, asking, "Giorgio, are you sick?"
Giorgio turned his gaze to the suddenly appearing Katherine, his expression unchanged. "A bit of a stomachache. What are you doing here?"
"I heard from a friend that you were at the hospital, and I was worried about you, so I came to check on you," Katherine said, glancing uneasily at the doctor.
She said, "Dr. Johnson, you're an orthopedic doctor, right? Could you recommend a gastroenterologist for us? I'll go with Giorgio."
Dr. Johnson averted his eyes and nodded. "Alright, Mr. Vittorio, Ms. Stefanelli, let's go."
The three of them left.
In the ward, Anna, sitting on the bed, saw the scene through the glass and frowned.
She saw Katherine's expression was clearly flustered just now, sowas it that Dr. Johnson?
Anna said, "Sara, go observe Katherine. Once she leaves, I'll go find that Dr. Johnson."
Sara nodded. "Okay, I guess Mr. Vittorio already knows something and was deliberately reminding you at the door."
"Really? Maybe it was just a coincidence? Who cares!" Anna grumbled a bit, then started fixing her hair and makeup, and she instructed Sara to quickly prepare an outfit identical to Katherine's.
She was going to impersonate Katherine to get some information from Dr. Johnson.
About half an hour later, Katherine left the hospital, and Anna quickly went to the doctor's office.
"Dr. Johnson."
Dr. Johnson saw her, his eyes darkened slightly, and he quickly said, "Come in."
Anna walked over, imitating Katherine's posture, then glanced outside and asked quietly, "Mr. Vittorio didn't ask you anything, right? And you didn't reveal any problems, did you?"
"Ms. Stefanelli, rest assured. I didn't say anything. But it seems Mr. Vittorio is quite concerned about that surgery and asked specifically."
Knowing the stakes involved, Dr. Johnson spoke calmly and rationally, "Ms. Stefanelli, no matter the situation, I won't say anything."
With that, he added, "But, since we're partners, I hope Ms. Stefanelli will be sincere with me as well, or else."
He didn't finish the sentence, but the implication was clear.
Hearing that, Anna's eyes deepened, and after a moment, she said, "Of course. But from what you said, it seems like something is being hidden from me, right?"
Dr. Johnson smiled, "Ms. Stefanelli, you're overthinking it. It's just for self-protection."
He took out a USB drive, saying, "A few years ago, you asked me not to save a patient, resulting in the patient becoming a vegetative state. And there was also the matter of swapping bone marrow and kidneys. My computer's camera happened to capture it. This is a copy; Ms. Stefanelli can take it back and watch."
Anna was stunned.
What did he just say? Not saving a patient, resulting in a vegetative state?
Katherine had clearly said she went through great lengths to save her grandmother's life! How could this be?
Anna felt there was a huge mystery waiting for her to uncover. Her hands trembled as she took the USB drive, inserted it into the computer, and played the video.
Then, she saw something unbelievable.
In the scene, the 18-year-old Katherine, though still somewhat naive, unmistakably radiated a natural grace and refinement.
Dr. Johnson looked the same as he did now, saying, "Ms. Stefanelli, the patient has severe fractures and internal bleeding. We need to arrange surgery immediately."
She heard Katherine said, "No need for surgery, just keep her alive."
"What?" Dr. Johnson looked shocked. "Ms. Stefanelli, I don't understand what you mean."
Katherine leaned in, her voice firm. "I mean, just kee her at a vegetative state."
With that, a bank card was placed on the table."There's 20 million dollars in it. As long as you do this, the money is yours. And for the next few years, you'll be fully responsible for the patient, and I'll continue to pay you."
Dr. Johnson was stunned, as he knew he could never earn that much money in his lifetime.
"Dr. Johnson, she's already an old person. My sister cannot afford the medical expenses. If I hadn't brought her here, she would have died. So you don't need to feel guilty. Keeping her alive is also saving her." Katherine added, "And I heard Dr. Johnson's son is applying for college, right? I'll ask my dad to help him get into his dream school."
Dr. Johnson's pupils widened in shock.
His son was diligent but not very talented. If he didn't use some connections, he wouldn't get in.
He nodded. "Alright. I'll go to the operating room and discontinue the treatment."
The video stopped.
All of Anna's emotions surged, and she couldn't stop shaking with anger.
Her grandmother wasn't beyond treatment; she was gave up by Katherine and made into a vegetative state, lying in the hospital for years!
And all these years, she had treated Katherine as a benefactor gratefully.
Feeling infuriated, she clenched her hands so tightly they made cracking sounds.
"Ms. Stefanelli, there's another video," Dr. Johnson said, clicking the mouse.
The next video played.
In the video, Katherine said, "Dr. Johnson, create fake body data and medical cases to make everyone think she can have a kidney transplant and that it matches with me."
"Then, during the surgery, use another kidney. It doesn't have to be a perfect match, just enough to wake her up briefly. Once it's done, like last time, I will pay you 20 million dollars."
Dr. Johnson asked, "But this time, won't the patient die?"
Katherine sneered, "Dr. Johnson, why say it like that? We're giving the patient a chance. What if she has a strong will to live and survives with a mismatched kidney? Besides, struggling to live is better than being a vegetative state. We're helping her find peace."
She added, "By the way, I heard your medical team goes to Vista Heights every year. Schedule it for the day after her surgery. Once she's back in Vista Heights, her life or death has nothing to do with us. If you do well, the hospital director will be replaced by youimmediately."
Dr. Johnson's eyes were firm as he said, "Ms. Stefanelli, rest assured, I'll do it well!"
Once again, they pushed Elodie into the abyss of death!
And the match with Katherine was fake as Katherine never donated any organs to Elodie!
Anna realized she not only hurt Giorgio but also killed her grandmother herself!
Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, full of excruciating pain, regret, unwillingness!
Anna gritted her teeth in hatred, clenching her fists.
"Ms. Stefanelli, you don't need to be too angry. I'm showing you this not to threaten you, but to strengthen our bond and make us closer," Dr. Johnson said deeply.
At the end, he touched Anna's hand.
Anna's body stiffened!
The next second, she grabbed the trophy on the table and smashed it at Dr. Johnson!
Dr. Johnson screamed and fell to the ground with his chair, a hole in his forehead, blood flowing instantly.
"You ungrateful bitch! I'll send these videos out right now and ruin you!"
Anna was eager beyond measure as she said,"Okay! Then please post them on Instagram, and mention the Supreme Court. Make it as sensational as possible!"
After saying that, she angrily grabbed the USB drive and was about to leave.
Dr. Johnson was stunned with rage, his whole body trembling.
What was going on? She wasn't afraid?
No matter what, he couldn't let this bitch leave! Enduring tha pain, Dr. Johnson, stood up and lunged at Anna, grabbing her.
