    Two medical workers rushed over. One of them shouted, “You’re strangling her! Let go now!”


    Kate held on tight.

    Hannah drove her knee hard into Kate’s stomach. As Kate recoiled in pain, Hannah shoved her away and exploded, “If it weren’t for us, your damn vige would’ve been wiped out! Instead of showing any gratitude, you bite the hand that feeds you. Have you no shame?”


    Kate shouted, “It was you! You’re the one who hurt Violet!”


    Kate shrieked and lunged at Hannah again, her nails shing toward Hannah’s face. “You bitch! It was you who badmouthed Madelyn! You said she didn’t have a medical license! You misled me! This is all your fault!”


    Before Hannah could react, Kate viciously tore off her mask, leaving several deep, bleeding scratches across her cheeks.


    Amid the renewedmotion, Kate was pinned to the ground.


    Hannah was about tosh out when a colleague stopped her. “Ms. Gibson, are you trying to repeat the Giana incident?”


    Hannah froze abruptly, her eyes zing with resentment and unwillingness. She clenched her teeth, forcing herself to endure jt.


    Liam rushed to the scene. Seeing themotion, he quickened his pace and called out urgently, “Hannah! What happened here?”


    Hannah’s icy gaze instantly melted when she spotted Liam. She rushed into his arms, her voice thick with tears. “Liam, thank God you’re finally here!”


    Seeing her face covered in bloody scratches, Liam’s heart ached. He hurried over and asked urgently, “What happened?”


    “The little girl died from a severe infection. She had a high viral load. We must send her body to the city for immediate cremation, but her grandmother won’t let us take the body. And…”


    As she spoke, Hannah looked pointedly at Aria.


    Aria cradled Violet in her arms, her fingers lightly checking the girl’s pulse before pressing several critical acupressure points on her body.


    Hannah sneered inwardly. ‘Teaching fish to swim. What a joke!‘


    Hannah said with fake confusion, “Aria is a medical professional. She should know better. Yet she actually wanted to take Violet’s body away!”


    At those words, Liam’s expression shifted slightly as he followed Hannah’s gaze.


    Aria, d in a whiteb coat, turned away with a grave expression, cradling the child in her arms.


    A medical worker chased after her and called out, “Ms. Saxon, Violet is already dead. Where are you taking her?”


    Aria shot back, “She’s not dead!”


    With that, Aria strode away, carrying Violet firmly in her arms.


    Hearing this, Kate scrambled after her, nearly tripping over herself in her desperation.


    The medical staff exchanged bewildered nces, stunned and perplexed.


    One of the medics gasped, <i>“</i>An


    says Violet’s still alive? Is there still hope?”


    “But she’s showing no vital signs! The virus infiltrated all her major organs. How could anyone possibly revive her?”


    A crushing weight pressed on everyone’s hearts, leaving them utterly miserable.

    <b>She </b>was just a two–year–old, sweet and well–behaved, never caused any trouble or cried. They all adored the little girl and couldn’t bear to see <b>anything </b>happen to her. But deep down, they knew the chances of saving her were painfully slim–almost impossible.


    The oppressive atmosphere hung heavy when Hannah abruptly cut in, “If Aria wants to show off, she shouldn’t mess around with corpses–especially one carrying a virus.


    <b>“</b>If the whole Jamn gets wiped out because of her reckless actions…”


    A nurse cut her off impatiently. “Just shut it, will you? All you ever do is badmouth Aria. If it weren’t for her, would Giana’s baby have made it? Would you even be standing here bbering?”


    Hannah instantly retorted, “Dr. Webster already dered that Giana would miscarry. Aria didn’t save her at all!”


    The nurse scoffed, “Yeah, right! Just wait and see how Mr. Harmon deals with


    Hannah’s heart sank, and her face instantly drained of color.


    If that day really came, Ramon would never let her off the hook.


    you–the ‘culprit.”


    Hannah’s grip on Liam’s hand trembled involuntarily as she took several deep breaths, trying to steady herself.


    As the crowd dispersed, only Hannah and Liam remained.
