Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1298

Eartha froze, her bloodshot eyes snapping toward him.

"I just had a kidney transplant! I demand proper medical treatment! Denying me care is the same as killing me, it's murder! I'll sue all of you!"

The captain looked at her with a mix of amusement and disgust. "Kidney transplant? Hah, have you ever heard of a convicted murderer getting a kidney transplant? Good people spend years on waiting lists for kidneys they never get, and you thought we were handing one to you?"

The captain looked at her as if she were the biggest idiot on the planet.

Eartha went completely rigid, an icy chill surging up from the soles of her feet.

"Wh... what do you mean? I literally... I literally had the surgery yesterday. My incision hasn't even healed!"

Thrashing violently to shake off the officers, Eartha aggressively yanked up her hospital gown to expose the incision, completely disregarding her own modesty.

The captain merely found the sight grotesque, averting his gaze with a scoff.

"An incision doesn't mean you got a kidney. Maybe you just took a nap on the operating table, and when the doctors opened you up, they realized you weren't fit for a transplant and just stitched you right back up."

Just then, a familiar, glacial voice drifted in from the doorway.

It dripped with endless mockery.

Eartha whipped her head around, laying her eyes on Jerome, who stood impeccably dressed in a white dress shirt and a sharply tailored black suit.

The silver-rimmed glasses on his face caught the cold light, doing nothing to mask the absolute zero temperature in his eyes.

Hearing Jerome's words, how could Eartha fail to understand?

There was never a kidney transplant. She had never received a new kidney.

She had just been sliced open for absolutely nothing. They had played her for a fool.
