My heart ached. I couldn't let Liam take away the surgery spot.
I turned to look for the doctor, but heard the conversation between Liam and his assistant in the office.
"I owe Vanessa this one time. Once the operation is successful and her son's kidney is replaced, I will completely cut off all contact with her and live a happy life as a family of three with Clara, Luna, and me."
My heart tightened. Luna? Where is Luna? Didn't you kill Luna a long time ago?
Did Liam admit that he killed my daughter and wanted to give her a kidney to Vanessa's son for surgery? Surgery...was he really trying to take away my mother's surgery spot?
The sweetness of being in love with Liam is still vivid in my mind. My mother treated him like her own son over the years. Now he has killed our child for an illegitimate child. Is he going to deprive my mother of the chance to survive?
No, I want to go home, get that thing, grab the surgery spot, then get a divorce and get rid of Liam completely.
I held Lila's hand and hurriedly turned around and walked out. I wanted to call the police. This disgusting man and woman killed my child.
As I was walking down the street, a group of people with cameras and cell phones suddenly rushed over and started taking pictures of me crazily:
"Look, that's her! She instigated her adopted daughter to scam a rich second-generation guy, and she ended up falling to her death!"
"She's not satisfied yet and insists on extorting money. She's lost three lawsuits and is now threatening her husband, a doctor, with divorce!"
"Fortunately, her husband is a good doctor with medical ethics. He did not go along with her and has been helping the victim's family take care of their child. Otherwise, the mother and child would have been driven to death by her long ago!"
"She's trying to run away with her adopted child! Everyone, take pictures, don't let her get away!"
Sharp accusations came one after another. I looked through the crowd and saw Liam and Vanessa standing in the back. Vanessa was leaning in Liam's arms with a smile on her face, while Liam was wearing a white coat and looking at me with a "benevolent doctor" look on his face, as if I were really an unforgivable bad guy.
It turned out that this was what he called "ruining my reputation" - using my reputation in the hospital to fabricate lies and make everyone think that I was a vicious woman who was greedy for money.
The anchors at the scene became more and more excited, and the insults in the live broadcast room filled the screen:
"Isn't this woman too vicious? She even exploits adopted children for money?"
"No wonder the child fell to his death. How good can life be with a mother like that?"
"The rich second generation is also unlucky to be entangled by such a person!"
"Dr. Liam is so miserable. He married such a wife and still has to help her clean up the mess!"
Following the streamers' incitement, the crowd began throwing eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at me. Sticky liquid flowed down my hair. Lila was so scared that she clutched my hand tightly and started crying softly. I protected Lila behind me, stepped on the garbage, and walked over to Liam: "Liam, are you really going to do this?"
Liam frowned, but before he could speak, Vanessa took the lead and said with red eyes: "Sister Clara, I know you are sad, but my son is really not to blame for Lila's death... If you need money, I can give it to you. Please stop making trouble, okay?"
"My son is still in the hospital waiting for a kidney. If he saw this, he would definitely be scared..."
A trace of heartache flashed in Liam's eyes, and then he said to me coldly, "Clara, you brought this upon yourself. Lila fell to his death, and you shouldn't have kept suing Qing Qing and the child. Qing Qing didn't ask me to compensate me for the hard work of finding a kidney for her son. That's already very kind of you, don't push your luck!"
"Lila is unlucky to have a mother like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lila, who had been hiding behind me in fear, suddenly raised her head and cried out, "Dad lied! Sister Luna was pushed down! Sister Luna also promised to bring me some cookies, she wouldn't fall to her death!"
When Liam heard Lila's words, his face turned pale instantly. He staggered back a step and looked at Lila in disbelief: "Oh... Lila? Why are you not dead? Then who is dead?"
