The Surgeon's Revenge From Shadow to SpotlightChapter 1

In my eighth year as Adrian Henson's assistant, I found the notebook he never let out of his sight.

The pages meant for complex case notes were filled with nothing but fawning over that useless junior.

[Lily's hands shook during her first suture today—like a startled rabbit. Adorable.]

[I saved that mitral valve repair for her to practice. She failed, cried, and it broke my heart.]

[Skipped that craniotomy to spend Lily's birthday with her. Boring case anyway.]

I stared at those words. My blood ran cold.

The "boring case" he'd skipped—that patient was my father.

Eight years of loyalty crumbled in an instant.

——

The locker room door banged open. Adrian strode in, grinning.

I locked eyes with him, voice shaking:

"That craniotomy you rejected—you said the patient's vitals were off. But really, it was because you had to celebrate Lily Fox's birthday?"

He paused. Then adjusted his tie with an impatient sigh, his tone dripping self-righteousness.

"Lily just joined the department. She's fragile—needs support. Your dad can wait two days. What's the big deal?"

"Two days?"

I echoed the words.
