Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 311

"Doctor, I have given you enough money. Besides, you have promised me and I have recorded the conversation. If you don't do it now, I will sue you and your career will come to an end in no time. I don't think you would want that." Selma served the cold threat matter-of-factly as she inspected her nails.

The doctor gulped and nodded. He had no other choice but to comply with her since he was well aware that Selma's threats were anything but empty. AN Group had the power to destroy a person's life in seconds without a second thought.

Although he felt pity for the cute little girl, he had to do this if he wanted to keep his job.

He walked into the operating room and turned his gaze towards Sally who smiled at him and said conspiratorially, "Doctor, I know Grandma is making a mistake again, but it doesn't matter. Mom will come and rescue me."

Grandma?

The doctor was taken aback. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the old lady, but couldn't see anything through the door. He was surprised that such a lovely girl was Selma's granddaughter.

He shook his head in disbelief.

Was Selma crazy, doing such a cruel thing like removing the heart of such a lovely girl, who was actually her own blood? She was really a heartless woman.

"Your name is Sally, right?" he asked her with a faux friendly smile.

Sally nodded. "Yes." Looking at him quizzically, she asked, "Doctor, why do you keep such dangerous things? Mom always forbids me from playing with knives. She says that if I play with them then I will get hurt.

Although I know Mom will come, but I'm still a little scared." The Doctor remained silent as she babbled on. "Is Mom here? My mother's name is Anne. She is very beautiful. People say that she is a beauty." Her eyes shone with pride and fondness for her mother.

While speaking about Anne, Sally felt a little disgruntled. Her eyes started welling up. "Last time, mom came fast but this time she is late."

The doctor sighed and looked at his assistant, silently asking for help but the latter looked back at him helplessly.

The little girl was so cute that no one could or should think of hurting her.

Moreover, what he was about to do was immoral!

The assistant whispered in a pleading tone, "Doctor, we'd better not move forward with it. Look at her..." A lovely child would always make people soft. The female doctor shook her head and put the knife aside, not willing to take part in the heinous crime.

The doctor sighed, aggravated. He did not want to hurt this girl either but then if he didn't...

"Stop hesitating and finish the operation if you still want to stay in A City. Otherwise, all of us will be doomed," he said coldly.

Everyone looked at each other. They knew that they couldn't offend the woman outside, but this cute child...

The door of the operating room closed, and the two words "In Surgery" appeared on the display panel above the door.

Outside, Selma sat on a chair and stared at the glowing words on the display.

There was no sound of crying coming from inside. Had the anesthesia begun to work?

Tears of guilt slowly rolled down her cheeks. She buried her face in her hands.

'Sally, I'm sorry. But please forgive me. I have no choice. I have to do this for your brother!' she repeatedly apologized to her granddaughter in her mind.

At this time, Anne rushed in. When her eyes landed on Selma, she felt hopeful, but the moment her eyes fell on the two words 'In Surgery', her legs gave out, and she sank heavily on the floor.

Selma looked up, startled by the sound. Her face turned pale when she saw her daughter-in-law.

Why was she here?

"Selma, where is Sally? Tell me, is she inside?" Anne demanded as she got up and stomped towards Selma. Her eyes where bloodshot as she glowered at her mother-in-law with utmost hatred.

There was no point in hiding anything now, so she admitted, "You're right. Sally is inside, but you are late."

The word 'late' echoed jarringly in Anne's mind.

She shook her head, refusing to believe that she was too late to save her daughter. She wouldn't let her daughter get hurt, and if she saw so much as a scratch on her then so God help them. Anne hurried towards the door of the operating room and kicked it with her foot. She shouted, "Do you have any professional ethics? Are you human beings? Sally is just a child. She is so healthy and beautiful. How can you remove her heart? How can you do this?

Let me tell you, if you even dare to do anything to Sally, I will kill you, even if I have to risk my life.

Open the door. Let me in. Let me see my child. Open the freaking door!"

Anne continued yelling heartbreakingly even after her voice turned hoarse. She thumped and banged on the door of the operating room repeatedly.

There were doctors and patients at the end of the corridor, gaping at her as they watched her yell almost maniacally, demanding to be let in and see her daughter.

'The woman is creating a scene,'

Selma thought with a frown. She didn't expect Anne to make such a big fuss. So she stepped forward and tried to pull away Anne.

She gritted through her clenched teeth, "Stop creating a scene! What are you doing here anyway? Don't you want to save Eddy? He is your child as well. How can you be so heartless? Are you going to let him die?" Selma pulled Anne's hair harshly, partly to make her listen and partly out of anger.

In the past, Anne silently endured Selma's torture and insults for the sake of Kevin and her children.

But now, she did not give a damn about anyone.

Selma dared to hurt her child and no mother would tolerate that.

Anne turned slowly, her gaze burning with suppressed fury. She clasped Selma's wrist with one hand and wrenched her hand away from her hair. Before the older woman could even react, the same hand shot out and wrapped around Selma's neck while she slapped her face with the other hand.

Anne was breathing heavily. Her palm was tingling. But her fingers remained wrapped around the neck. Her raised her hand and gave the other woman another slap. She kept glaring at her mother-in-law, too angry to utter a word.

The sound of the slaps and the stinging effect on her face, sent Selma into a momentary shock. She did not even feel the fingers around her neck as she stared at the other woman in utter disbelief

How dare this woman, this filthy woman slap her? And that too in a public place like the hospital?
