At the Saunders family villa, Mindy rested her chin in her palms, staring listlessly at the small cake in front of her.
“Daddy, Mommy didn’t come home all night. Do you think she’s too tired?”
She suddenly flipped upright like a little carp. “Daddy, let’s sneak to the hospital to see Mommy!”
Wyatt, packing breakfast neatly into a food box, had been planning the same. Yunice, ever the workaholic, never cared for herself when she was busy. Who knew how long she had been operating last night.
“Mindy, come here. I’ll carry you.”
The little girl spread her arms, climbing into his embrace, and together they set off for the hospital.
The moment they stepped out of the car, they saw a noisy crowd gathered at the entrance of the hospital, all craning their necks toward the upper floors.
Mindy, perched in Wyatt’s arms, pointed upward. “Daddy! There’s a lady sitting on the window ledge! Is she going to jump?”
Wyatt’s brows knit. Was this a private grudge? A case of medical harassment? Hospitals always drew scenes like this.
Tilting his head, he listened to the murmurs around them.
“They say the hospital killed someone. That woman’s the dead man’s wife. Claims her husband came in fine, and after one surgery he was gone. Now she says she wants to die with him… Who was the doctor? How could anyone botch a surgery so badly? Isn’t Saunderss Hospital supposed to be the best? I heard it was the director herself. Only in her thirties–how could she have gotten that post?”
Mindy’s eyes went wide. After a few moments, she finally understood. Her little fists clenched, and she cried out indignantly. “Daddy, they’re slandering Mommy! Mommy cares more for her patients than her own family sometimes! She’d never hurt anyone! If she wasn’t absolutely sure, she’d never operate! That woman is lying, she’s framing Mommy! I have to tell them the
truth!”

Wyatt pressed her shoulder gently, voice firm. “Calm down, Mindy. You’re just a child. No matter how true your words, to them it will carry no weight. And remember what Mommy taught you never fall into the trap of defending yourself. If we speak out now, they’ll twist it, expose our identities, and use it to smear your mother further.”
Mindy puffed out her cheeks, furious, but she knew Daddy was right. Still, she asked anxiously, “Then Daddy, what should we do?”
Above them, the widow’s voice sliced through the air, shrill and piercing. “Oh heaven, why won’t you open your eyes! How am I supposed to go on!”
