My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 87

“My hand! Please help me, help me with my hand!”

I knew what he was afraid of.

Even though he had been blacklisted by the hospital, with his skill and experience, he could still work in private hospitals. But now that his pride—his hands—was destroyed, it meant he could never perform surgery again. That destroyed all his future prospects.

In the chaos, the security guards brought the police in and took both men away.

Mike was detained for intentional harm, and Thomas’s hand was so badly injured that he would never be able to hold a scalpel again.

When Thomas found me again, I was preparing to leave the hospital.

“I’ll agree to the divorce, but only if you make sure the hospital withdraws their lawsuit against me.”

Thomas looked tired, his face unshaven, no longer the confident Dr. Bailey he once was.

If the hospital withdrew their lawsuit, Thomas could still work at smaller clinics, though he wouldn’t have the same prestige as before. But at least he’d be able to live comfortably.

Without hesitation, I nodded.

“Fine! As long as you sign the divorce agreement, I’ll have the hospital withdraw the lawsuit immediately.”

I handed over the divorce agreement I had already prepared. Thomas didn’t hesitate; he picked up the pen and signed his name.

After receiving the signed agreement, I kept my promise and called the hospital to have the lawsuit withdrawn.

Thomas took care of all the funeral arrangements for Barbara, and on the day of her burial, it started to rain.

Because of Thomas’s involvement, there were few attendees at the funeral.

When I appeared at the funeral, everyone was stunned.

Thomas looked furious.

“We’ve already divorced! Why can’t you leave Barbara alone?”

Thomas pointed at me, his hand trembling with anger as he gestured at my red dress.

The people at the funeral began whispering and pointing at me.

“She’s wearing red and has heavy makeup, what does this mean? The deceased should be honored.”

“Even though Thomas made mistakes, she married him while pregnant with another man’s child. She’s no saint either.”

“Exactly, she looks like the type of person who craves love, or why else would she marry someone else right after being abandoned?”

I ignored their taunts and, with a wave of my hand, a professional live-streaming team emerged from behind me.

“Barbara was once my friend. Since she’s passed, I’ll send her off in style.”

The live-streaming equipment was set up, and Thomas immediately rushed over.

“Susan, what do you think you’re doing? Barbara is dead, can’t you just let her rest in peace? How can you be so malicious?”

“Susan, you’re trying to destroy me completely, aren’t you? You want to ruin me once and for all!”

I slowly crouched down, leaned close to Thomas’s ear, and laughed softly.

“There’s one more thing I haven’t told you. I took abortion pills from the start, which is why the child died in my womb. And that’s why the umbilical cord blood was useless to Barbara. In fact, it only worsened her condition.”

Thomas looked at me in shock, his fists clenched tightly.

“It’s all your fault! You did all of this!”

“I’m going to kill you. You ruined all our lives. You destroyed my future!”

Thomas pulled out a knife and lunged at me.

But before the knife could reach me, he was kicked away by my bodyguard.

Thomas was arrested for attempting to assault me in front of everyone. And with the video evidence, I filed charges against him on multiple counts.

In the end, Thomas was sentenced to seven years in prison.

As for me, I found my real father, inherited his company, and began striving for a better life.

I would make myself stronger.

And I would wait—wait for the day when Thomas and Mike were released from prison.
