Chapter 329

Laura's face twisted in rage. Without hesitation, she swung her hand, landing a fierce slap across the doctor's face.

"What kind of worthless bastard calls himself a doctor, yet sends my husband home just to wait for death?" she screamed, her voice shaking with fury.

Dr. Peter stood frozen, stunned. One of Vermont's finest doctors had just been humiliated by this woman.

“Listen carefully, woman,” he snarled bitterly.

“Your husband will die. Nothing on earth can save him now, not even your parade of second opinions. Frankly, with a venomous wife like you, it's no wonder he's headed to an early grave."

Laura exploded, her voice cracking with raw fury.

"What the hell did you just say to me? You dare sentence my husband to death and blame me for it? Are you begging to die?"

The assistants quickly stepped forward, forming a barrier around Dr. Peter, terrified by Laura's wild wrath.

"Guards!" Laura roared. "Beat them! Break every damn bone in their bodies!"

"Yes, Ma'am!” Two guards surged forward, striking viciously at the cowering medical staff.

Dr. Peter scrambled desperately to escape before the guards reached him.

Laura, still blazing with anger, seized an elderly doctor whose face had already turned pale blue. She grabbed him roughly by the collar, pulling him close.

“Listen closely, old man! You'll save my husband's life or lose yours-choose wisely!"

“I..... I am not able,” the doctor murmured, a pitiful pledge trembling on his lips.

"What good is it calling yourself a doctor if you can't even save one man?"

“Ma'am,” the doctor whimpered helplessly, tears brimming in his frightened eyes, "I'm not Jesus."

"Then become one!” she roared, slapping him across the face again.
