The hospital corridor was thick with tension.

Police were handling the emergency of a child's abduction.

A doctor suddenly rushed into the restricted area.

An officer immediately stopped him. "Doctor, step back, please!"

Evelyn Ross wore handcuffs and couldn't resist.

But her swift action in securing the child had put the police on high alert.

The doctor held up a CT scan film. "The results are in!"

Fiona Valentine glared viciously at Evelyn. "Grace, you exposed my son to radiation! I won't let this slide!"

The live-streaming teacher's phone camera was pointed directly at them.

The comments section exploded with hateful messages.

They all condemned Evelyn, saying she was unfit to be a teacher.

Little Joey suddenly went limp and collapsed to the floor.

Fiona held him but lost her grip.

The child fell hard.

"Joey! What's wrong?!"

Fiona frantically knelt, shaking her son.

She looked up, furious. "This is your doing!"

Evelyn was held firmly by the police, her arms twisted painfully behind her back.

She was beyond frustrated.

If she had known it would come to this, she would never have gotten involved.

But now she had to set the record straight. "The police were watching my every move. What could I possibly have done?"

Fiona shrieked, "You scared him!"

Ethan Valentine also raged, "Grace, the Valentine family will not forgive you!"

Evelyn said coldly, "Let's hear what the doctor has to say first."

Everyone turned to the doctor.

The doctor wiped his sweat. "Who are the parents?"

Fiona hurriedly responded, "I am! What's wrong with my son?"

The doctor handed her the CT scan. "There's a tumor in his brain."

Fiona's eyes widened in disbelief. "Impossible!"

The doctor pointed to a shadow on the film. "The tumor is pressing on a nerve. It's growing rapidly. Any later would have been too late!"

He immediately called for the nurses. "Get him to emergency, now!"

Nurses rushed in with a gurney and took Joey away.

Fiona was stunned, numbly following the gurney out.

The CT room fell silent.

The live-streaming teacher was speechless.

But the online comments went wild.

"???"

"A plot twist?!"

"The school director spotted a brain tumor just by looking?"

"This kindergarten is incredibly responsible!"

"Sunflower International Kindergarten? Just looked up the tuition. Never mind."

"You get what you pay for. It's worth it!"

...

The public opinion had completely reversed.

Everyone in the CT room was still processing what happened.

Evelyn moved her shoulders. "Officer, can you release me now?"

The police quickly let go. "Our apologies. We misunderstood the situation."

"It's not your fault."

Evelyn rubbed her sore arms.

She couldn't blame the police.

Without medical proof, her attempt to remove the child from school was against protocol.

She had assumed any parent would be concerned about their child's health.

A simple mention, and Fiona would have taken her son for a check-up...

She never expected it to escalate like this.

The police offered a formal apology.

They clarified the situation on the live stream before leaving.

Evelyn turned to the live-streaming teacher. "Unauthorized live streaming violates school policy. You're fired."

The teacher hastily ended the stream and fled.

Evelyn walked out.

She noticed Ethan Valentine standing to the side, frowning at her.

Ethan cleared his throat. "Thanks."

Evelyn scoffed. "Don't mention it."

She walked out coldly.

She had no patience for a brother who enabled someone like Fiona.

Ethan snorted.

If she didn't want his gratitude, fine.

Who needed it anyway?

If it weren't for the bad blood between Grace and his sister, he might suspect she did it for revenge.

Ethan had always wanted a sister.

Surrounded by annoying brothers, he doted on Penelope and Fiona after they were adopted.

But it always felt like there was a distance.

After all, they weren't blood-related...

Ethan sighed in disappointment and walked out.

He arrived home and ran into Marcus Valentine heading out.

Remembering the incident that had trended online, Marcus must have heard about it.

Ethan coughed awkwardly. "Big brother, I accidentally offended your wife's friend. I apologize..."

Marcus just smiled. "No need to apologize to me. You didn't offend your sister-in-law's friend. You'd better go see Uncle and accept your punishment."
