Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 425

After bidding goodbye to Bob's parents, Anne went straight to the hospital.

All of Sam's injuries were external, and he had made a quick recovery—apart from the wound on his head.

"The forensic experts have released the results. It said that those people were killed by fake medicine," Emily said with a resigned look as she glanced at Anne.

"Fake medicine can cause death?" Anne was befuddled.

Even though there were many fake medicine dealers, they never intended them to be lethal. At best, these fake medicines would have had no effect at all. They shouldn't be able to cause death.

"A precious ingredient in that medicine has been replaced by a cheap one, which can bring adverse effect when mixed with the other ingredients in the formula," Sam said indifferently.

Anne switched his gaze to Sam. He had been trying his best to run the hospital and make sure that all the medicines were safe. He would even check the medicines himself to make sure before he purchased them. But despite all these precautions, this situation still happened.

Once the word got out that fake medicines were being used on patients, Sam's hospital would be shut down. Since three people died because of this, there was no more hope for Sam to recover from this scandal even if he wanted to start from scratch.

Sam's career had been tainted!

"Sam, the fake medicine had entered the hospital. Someone must have messed up and missed it. This isn't your fault, okay? Let's find that person first, and then we'll think of the rest later." Even though Sam was the director of the hospital, he had nothing to do with this particular incident. They thought if Sam explained everything clearly, everyone would understand him and the issue would be resolved.

"But I ordered all these medicines myself!" Sam shouted, his voice inflected with helplessness and self-mockery.

Anne frowned.

"Since you ordered them yourself, then you should be confident that there would be no problem. What you should be thinking about right now is who might be behind all of this," Kevin said slowly as he walked in with flowers in his arms.

Emily perked up in surprise. "Are you saying someone is trying to frame Sam?"

Kevin nodded. "That's the only explanation. If not, how could something happen to Sam?"

Emily glared at Sam's blank expression. She felt even more conflicted. "Sam saves people who are sick. He hasn't offended anyone! Why would anyone want to frame him?"

Anne and Kevin looked at each other. They didn't say anything between them, but they knew what might have caused all this.

Sam was a great doctor respected by many people. He was kind to his patients. Just like Emily said, Sam didn't offend anyone.

If Sam really offended someone, it could only because that he was Anne and Kevin's best friend and he had tried his best to help them. This was the real reason why he was targeted!

So, in the end, Anne and Kevin had gotten Sam into trouble.

"Sam, I'll investigate this matter and give you an explanation," Kevin said coldly.

Sam looked up at Kevin and smiled. "Don't worry. Let's take our time."

Kevin remained silent for a while and gave a slight nod. All of a sudden, the corridor of the hospital became a mess. Annoyed, Kevin walked out.

"Sam, our relatives have died. Why are you still alive? You must take their lives back!"

"You're a quack doctor! Real doctors save people from illness. But you kill them! Not only that. You also profit from them! Give us back our money!"

"Life for a life!"

The corridor was filled with all sorts of people; both men and women, and young and old. All of them wore a ferocious face, blocking the hallway and screaming for blood.

The hospital, usually a quiet place, was now engulfed by the sound of raging protests.

The nurses wanted to stop them, but there were too many people for them to handle. As the ruckus grew louder, they were forced to call in the police.

As Anne looked amongst the crowd, she saw several familiar faces. They were the men who hurt Sam!

They were back!

"Everyone! The truth isn't clear yet. All that you're doing is disrespecting your relatives by making such a big fuss." Kevin scowled at the sight of the unruly crowd.

"What do you mean by 'disrespect'? There's no more respect to give because our relatives are dead! If you want to talk about respect, Sam should die to pay for what he has done!" the woman standing in front of him immediately retorted loudly.

With a cold pair of eyes, Kevin looked straight at them and asked, "What do you want so that you can stop making trouble?"

"Sam killed our relatives. What we want is either for Sam to die or for you to give us ten million for each person he killed!" It was clear that the woman he was speaking to was their leader.

Anne felt shocked by their demands. She knew ten million per person was too much.

Although Sam owned the hospital, the amount was still too ludicrous to consider.

"Don't you think that's too much?" Kevin scolded.

"Of course you say that because it's not your family who died!" The woman was unforgiving with her words.

Kevin felt enraged, but because it was a woman that he was dealing with, he could do nothing to her.

"Who are you anyway? Why are you defending Sam? Or are you willing to give me thirty million?" The woman looked at Kevin from head to toe. He looked a little familiar, but she couldn't recall his name. But judging from his expensive clothes, he must have been a rich man.
