Within seconds, my profile picture appeared in a corner of the livestream screen.
“Zach, Amber, every word you’ve said in this livestream is defamation,” my voice was
ice–cold, devoid of any warmth. “Your so–called ‘fake death conspiracy‘ is completely fabricated–you’re twisting the facts.”
“You’re lying!” Amber shrieked. “We saw your mother standing alive and well at the
hospital entrance! How can you still deny it?”
“Of course my mother is alive–she wasn’t the one having surgery.‘

report.
“My mother lost her health insurance card two weeks ago. It was found by yesterday’s patient who used it to register for surgery. Coincidentally, my ex–husband saw my mother’s information and decided–along with his new girlfriend–to abandon a patient mid–surgery for forty minutes. And I’m not sure there was absolutely no personal vendetta involved.”
The comments section exploded, with public opinion starting to shift.
[Wait… so the deceased wasn’t Lily’s mom? It was someone who found her insurance card?]
[So Zach and Amber thought it was Lily’s mom and just left her on the operating table for
40 MINUTES?!]
[Holy shit! You can’t just cut someone open and abandon them–no matter who they are! Isn’t this murder?]
[So this trash couple realized their “enemy’s” mom was on the table and deliberately left
her there to die?]
[Dr. Collins and your “new girlfriend” care to explain this?]
Zach and Amber went pale. Zach stubbornly tried to argue back.
“What personal vendetta! Lily, you’re just making assumptions! You have no proof!”

I held up documents I had prepared earlier. Although key information was redacted, the letterhead and official stamps were clearly visible.
“This is the death certificate issued by the hospital, which is legally binding. It clearly records the time, place, and preliminary cause of death–acute hemorrhagic shock.”
“This is the operating room surveillance review report, confirming that medical staff did indeed abandon their posts for an extended period during surgery.”
“And this is the hospital’s disciplinary notice against both of you, explicitly stating that you left your surgical posts without authorization.”
With each piece of evidence I presented, Zach and Amber’s expressions grew more distressed.
Suddenly Zach had an epiphany.
“Someone stealing your mom’s insurance card? You obviously arranged this! You deliberately found a terminally ill patient to die on my operating table to frame me! That patient must have been working with you!”
Amber immediately backed him up, her tone challenging: “Exactly! Lily, if you have nothing to hide, then tell us! Who died? Do you dare to reveal their name so we can investigate their relationship with your family and any financial transactions?”
I frowned deeply. Despite my dislike for Linda, she had passed away, and I didn’t want to broadcast her name and information in this circus.
My hesitation looked like guilt to Zach and Amber.
“See! She’s too scared to say it!” Amber smiled triumphantly, turning to the camera with an incendiary tone. “Since Lily won’t tell us, I’ll do it for her!” Amber held up her phone to the livestream camera with a smug, self–satisfied expression. “The hospital’s internal system is networked. Let me check who actually died in Operating Room 1 on the morning of October 17th!”
My pupils contracted. What was she trying to do? Publicly expose patient information? During a livestream?
Zach seemed momentarily surprised too, but seeing Amber’s confidence, he must have

thought this was a perfect opportunity to take me down, so he didn’t stop her.
Amber’s fingers tapped the screen a few times, and soon, a patient record appeared in the
livestream.
While the critical ID number and contact information were automatically redacted by the system, the patient’s name was clearly visible.
It was the real information I had just verified and corrected.
Amber, brimming with satisfaction, read it out loud and clear, her voice resonating throughout the entire livestream:
“Patient’s name–LINDA COLLINS!”
The color drained from Zach’s face instantly.
