Chapter 275
Sensing something amiss from Belinda's word, Harper immediately tried to let go, but was held back by her.
She was an actress.
She knew how to act better than anyone else.
"Let go of me...let go..."
She began to resist violently. It seemed like she was struggling, but her grip tightened on Harper's hand, preventing her from letting go.
The scene looked as if Harper was pulling her arm, trying to drag her.
When had Harper ever encountered something like this? Before she had time to react, Belinda suddenly released her grip and tumbled backward.
"Ah~!"
With a tragic shout, Belinda sat on the ground, covering her stomach.
She was wearing a skirt, with blood streaming down her thigh.
At this moment, Harper couldn't think of anything else. She rushed over and lifted Belinda, "Don't move, I'm taking you to the hospital now."
After dealing with patients and scalpels for so many years, Harper, though skinny, had rather strong and enduring arms.
She managed to carry Belinda to the hospital entrance in one breath. The nurses, seeing this, quickly approached, "Doctor Green, the patient..."
"A pregnant woman had a fall. Get a doctor quickly."
Shortly, Belinda was wheeled into the operation room.
Harper didn't leave. She was leaning against the wall outside the operating room, panting.
During her respite, recalling the events in the underground parking lot just now, she sensed something.
"Harper."
Just as she was feeling nervous, Steward's voice suddenly echoed in her ear.
Harper turned around, and Steward had run up to her. Just as he was about to extend his hand, Harper subconsciously took a step back. Steward's hand froze mid-air, then he pulled it back.
His voice tense, he asked her, "Are you okay? Did Belinda do something to you?"
Harper turned away indifferently.
"She has been taken into the operating room."
"What?"
"Belinda has been taken into the operating room; she might have a miscarriage."
"Are you okay?"
Steward wasn't really concerned about all this; he was only worried that something might happen to Harper.
Harper seemed oblivious to his worry.
She no longer responded to him, didn't look at him, her eyes were only focused on the direction of the operating room.
Their conversation fell apart, making the atmosphere between them awkward.
This was something that had never happened before.
Steward was standing next to Harper. Neither of them moved, as this was a luxurious proximity for Steward at the moment.
He's had a very hard time lately.
It is a hard time like never before.
He couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, all he could recall are the times he spent with Harper.
In fact, they could've been great together.
If only it were not because of him—
Steward was full of regrets, but alas, it was too late.
Everyone told him so.
He was aware of it too.
This is just how people are sometimes. They know what they shouldn't do, but they do it anyway, overconfidently thinking that they won't get caught.
Usually, it's like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.
In this world, no secrets could be thoroughly concealed.
Steward felt torturous and deserved for Harper's indifference towards him.
He treasured every single moment he could spend alone with Harper, so he proceeded with extreme caution.
However, after just a short moment, Harper moved. Without a word, she headed straight to the surveillance room.
There were several monitors in the room, and Harper had someone play the footage of her and Belinda in the parking lot.
The more she watched, the colder she felt.
To the naked eye, she really did seem to have pushed Belinda.
Harper had fewer experiences of such female fights and schemes, but she wasn't stupid when it came to Belinda's deliberate actions.
She was almost able to guess Belinda's tactics.
Actually, she didn't understand. She was obviously the victim, so why did Belinda insist on accusing her?
After leaving the surveillance room, Harper saw Steward's face appear before her again.
Her face didn't look good, which made Steward particularly concerned. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Steward," Harper took a deep breath, "Why don't you handle your own affairs properly?!"
After speaking, she briskly walked past Steward.
Following her into the surveillance room, Steward, of course, knew that Harper looked down upon doing such a thing to Belinda.
By the time he ran out, several doctors had gathered around Harper at the entrance of the operating room.
"Doctor Green, what really happened? The patient had a miscarriage, but she's accusing you of purposefully pushing her and causing it."
"It wasn't me."
"Whether it's you or not, isn't something you decide. Let's go to the surveillance room now, and you come along."
Several people headed for the surveillance room.
Harper walked at the end, her expression somewhat crumbling.
Because, the surveillance system would incriminate her.
Steward, however, followed in. When everyone accused Harper, he defended her.
"Harper could never have pushed her. You all must believe in your doctor."
But what was the use?
Nothing was more convincing than surveillance footage.
Belinda's incident created a lot of stir in the hospital. Not only was there surveillance footage, but a secretly filmed video also appeared online.
The effect was the same.
Belinda was completely ruined. Since she was totally destroyed, she was going to use this unwanted child to ruin Harper. Ruining Harper, it's not just Harper who would suffer, Steward would also be in distress.
He loved this woman, didn't he?
Then, wouldn't the revenge she took on Harper because of his ruthlessness towards her, hurt him even more?
Belinda felt very pleased!!!
This was the happiest she had been in a long time.
The ongoing public debate eventually led to the suspension of Harper from the hospital.
Belinda's miscarriage was self-revealed, besides, she didn't have any dignity left, as everyone on the internet was saying that she was pregnant.
She took advantage of this video and narrated a small tale.
The story was essentially about Steward, who though in a relationship with her, was secretly seeing someone else, and, to make things worse, she discovered her pregnancy after being dumped.
She didn't want to hurt Steward's official girlfriend, so she broke up with Steward willingly, but she couldn't bear to abandon the child, hoping to keep it a secret.
However, her plans were foiled when Harper, the official girlfriend and a neurologist at the First Hospital, discovered her secret.
She cornered her in the parking lot and, despite knowing about her pregnancy, intentionally shoved her, causing her to miscarry.
In order to prove her words, she even posted a picture of herself and Steward, sharing the bed with her shoulder exposed.
The photograph had been sneakily taken by Belinda while Steward was asleep.
At that time, she was utterly in love with Steward, which caused her to impulsively capture this moment.
She never thought that it would come in so handy.
This story, accompanied by a photograph and a video, went viral the moment it was shared, causing quite a sensation.
Steward was being criticized and labeled as a scum.
Harper was called a wicked woman. Even though she was the victim in this relationship, it was heartless of her to do such a thing to an unborn child, especially considering she was a doctor.
How could such a person be fit to be a doctor?
The Brownard Industry family spent a considerable amount of money on the hot search topic.
Although it was taken down, the level of discussion did not decrease.
Giselle knew about the incident the moment it hit the trending list on Weibo, and she was at home where she could play with her phone all day out of sheer boredom.
After finding out, she called Harper.
"Is the video composed?"
Harper said, "No."
"You couldn't have pushed her."
"She was indeed not pushed by me."
But who would believe that?
People only trust what they see with their own eyes.
