She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Aria Richardson lowered her gaze, turned her head to look at Wyatt Lewis, "Emma Winton is both hateful and pitiful."

Wyatt Lewis looked in the direction of Emma's hospital room and sneered, "Pitiful?"

"Yes, to win, for reputation, for family, she would do anything, ultimately suffering the consequences and losing everything, naturally she is pitiful."

Aria sighed, "At the same time, I am also afraid."

The scenes from the day of the car accident still linger in her mind, and recalling it makes her heart race uncontrollably.

Just like Emma said, if she had any bit of malicious intent, she couldn't dare imagine what the situation might be now.

Wyatt looked at the woman's expression, raised his hand to embrace her shoulder, and his icy expression softened slightly. He said in a low voice, "It's all over, don't dwell on it."

Aria looked up and gently nodded, "It's all over, but poor Zoey."

Aria glanced back at Zoey Sanders, who lay on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but feel heartache and guilt.

No matter how you say it, it was because of them that Zoey was kidnapped and harmed by Emma; she was the most innocent one.

Aria knew that these days, Wyatt had been feeling uneasy and blaming himself.

That's why he was eager for Emma to face the consequences, and fortunately, everything was settled now. The perpetrator will ultimately pay the price.

...

When Emma awoke, it was already afternoon, the hospital room was empty, and neither Owen Winton nor Chloe Woods were by her side. Emma realized she was still lying in the hospital bed, feeling momentarily disoriented.

She had just had a nightmare in which she was locked in prison, enduring endless torture, while those around her laughed at her, and Wyatt Lewis and Aria Richardson lived happily together.

She awakened from this dream with a burst of immense hatred in her eyes.

Emma moved slightly, feeling a cold sensation on her left wrist, and turned her head to find her hand cuffed.

A cold glint flashed in Emma's eyes, and she could only let out a bitter smile.

A female officer was in the room, guarding her. Upon hearing the noise, the officer approached and glanced at Emma, "You're awake."

Emma's voice was hoarse and weak, "How long have I slept?"

"About five hours. I'll call the doctor; once you feel better, we have questions for you."

Emma closed her eyes, "I've already explained everything I have to say; there's nothing more to discuss."

The female officer saw her unwilling expression and didn't insist; anyway, the evidence against her was clear: kidnapping and malicious injury were enough charges to land her in prison for years.

Emma was well aware of this; she appeared calm, but inside she had already collapsed.

Now, she would rather not wake up, so she wouldn't have to face all of this.

A burst of noise from outside startled Emma, who slowly opened her eyes and asked, "What's that noise outside?"

The female officer glanced at her, "Reporters."

This afternoon, the report from several journalists attracted more reporters eager to cover the incident.

Hearing the word reporter, Emma couldn't even maintain her facade of composure. She hurriedly sat up, and her handcuffs clanged against the adjacent pole.

"Make them leave, all leave, make everyone leave, go away."

She didn't want anyone to see her like this; she couldn't bear it.

Seeing her agitation, the officer stepped forward to restrain her, "Someone will hold them off. Lie down, your injuries can't handle emotional upheaval right now."

"My dad, where has my dad gone? Please, help me find him, I beg you."

The officer was unmoved by Emma's pitiful look, sternly watching her, "He is under investigation. If it weren't for your injuries, you would also have to return with us to the precinct."

Emma's eyes trembled, "My dad did nothing; everything was my doing. He didn't know about it; why are you investigating him?"

"He is also a suspect."

Emma's face went pale, twisted and grim.

Sister Leah was invited by Owen Winton to provide false testimony, but Emma wasn't afraid of Owen being implicated in the investigation. He only needed to blame everything on her, and he would be safe.

And she believed her crafty father would do the same. Once he did, he would feel immense guilt towards her.

The same applied to Chloe Woods; she, taking on everything to protect Chloe, would earn Chloe's lifelong gratitude.

Her serving prison time, in exchange for guilt from two people, was worth it for her.

She had foreseen the worst possible outcome, that she would go to prison, but as long as Owen was outside, once matters faded from the memory of the Lewis and Sanders Families, Owen had enough means to get her released in a year or two.

In the eyes of outsiders, she could even find an excuse of going abroad to cover this period, and could still be the Winton Family's young lady.

But now, things had evidently surpassed her expectations.

The reporters made the incident public, turning it into widespread news, and everyone would know Emma Winton as a vicious woman who stops at nothing.

With her tarnished reputation, she'd become an eternal joke in the circle, and by then, even if she was released, her reputation was gone, and nothing could return to the way it was.

Immense fear surged within Emma.
