The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 53

It was past nine o'clock by the time Evelyn left the Lancaster Estate. She walked alone down the quiet, tree-lined avenues of Westmount Estates, the hem of her trench coat fluttering in the autumn chill. The streetlamps stretched her shadow into a long, solitary line, making her look like a single leaf drifting through the sprawling metropolis of New York. She hadn't bothered to call a cab, opting instead for a slow, deliberate walk. The crisp night air kissed her cheeks, leaving her mind sharper than it had been in months.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out to see a text from Madeline Thorne:

"Evie, how did it go? Did you talk to Mr. Lancaster?"

Evelyn stopped by a large oak tree, leaning against its trunk as her thumbs flew across the screen:

"I saw him. He agreed to help. He'll give me the signed divorce papers at his birthday banquet next Saturday."

Seconds later, Madeline replied:

"Oh my god, finally! Just rest up for the next few days and try not to stress. By the way, did you know you're trending online?"

Trending?

Evelyn frowned and typed back:

"What do you mean?"

Madeline instantly sent a link to a social media platform. Evelyn clicked it, and there it was, sitting at the number three spot on the trending list: #MysteryDoctorSavesToddlerAtRestaurant.

She tapped the hashtag and found the top post from a prominent medical blogger:

@MedWatchV: Witnessed an absolute miracle tonight at The Gilded Lily. A three-year-old child with a congenital heart defect suddenly went into severe hypoxia. A bunch of medical students on site panicked and didn't know what to do. Out of nowhere, this young female doctor stepped in, and her technique was mind-blowing! She immediately identified it as a Tetralogy of Fallot spell, positioned the kid perfectly, applied specific pressure, and used nitroglycerin spray. She pulled the kid back from the brink of death in under ten minutes! Sadly, I didn't get her face on camera, but this doctor is clearly a master. [Video Link]

The video was shot on a phone, the frame shaky and slightly out of focus. It showed a crowd gathered in the middle of the restaurant, with a young woman crouching beside the child. The person filming was too far back, and because the woman kept her head down, all that was visible was the back of her beige trench coat and her long, dark hair. The clip lasted thirty seconds, ending with the woman standing up and walking away, her face remaining completely hidden.

The comment section was a madhouse:

"Holy crap, those chest compressions were flawless! She has to be a top-tier cardiothoracic surgeon!"

"Those med students were frozen. That's the difference between an amateur and a god."

"Does anyone know who she is? We need names!"

"She looks so young from the back. Like, under thirty?"

"The poster said they didn't get her face? Maybe she wants to stay anonymous."

"Why would you hide after doing something so heroic?"

Evelyn's thumb hovered over the screen, her chest tight. She hadn't realized anyone had filmed her, let alone that it would explode online. Thankfully, her face was completely obscured.
