"What did you say? You want Karen to give me conservative treatment?!" Frank Myer stared at me in disbelief, lowering his voice as he grit his teeth. "Janet, are you crazy?! Karen has always worked in admin; she doesn't even know how to treat patients. Are you trying to get me killed by letting her treat me?"

I immediately raised my voice and shot back, "What? Are you saying Karen can’t give any treatment at all? Then, how is she qualified to run for chief?"

Karen's face instantly turned pale as she glared furiously at Frank. Frank quickly tried to gratify her, his attitude pitiful as if he were begging on the street.

But when he turned back to me, his expression was full of anger and disgust. "How dare you slander Doctor Karen like that?! Her skills are top-notch! My problem is nothing to her!"

I shrugged. "Then go ahead and let her treat you."

Seeing that I wouldn't budge, Frank didn't seem worried. He quietly reassured Karen, "Don't worry. Janet and I have only been married for two months. If she doesn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life, she'll have to do the surgery herself. Otherwise, the gossip alone would drown her!"

Just then, the higher-ups of the hospital rushed in and shot me a fierce look.

Frank's video had caused quite a stir online, so the hospital director had come to investigate. With all his experience, he could see right away that Frank was at a critical point. If Frank didn’t get surgery now, he really would lose his private parts for good.

If Frank's treatment failed, the hospital's reputation would be in ruins.

So, the hospital director meekly persuaded Frank to agree to the surgery. Frank, who had planned this whole scene just to boost Karen's fame, agreed without hesitation.

On his way to the operating room, he was all smiles, telling Karen, "Only Janet can do this surgery. She's such a pushover. Even after I yelled at her just now, she’ll still do it herself. Karen, get ready for your promotion!"

Karen was excited too. As she passed me, she sneered, "Doctor Janet, you'd better do a good job with this surgery, or everyone really will think you’re just a scammer and a doctor without any talents!"

They were both sure I would deliver a perfect operation to clear my name.

I clenched my fists and silently followed the hospital director into the prep room outside the operating theater.

Frank was already under anesthesia when I entered the theater. He immediately burst into arrogant laughter and pointed at me with contempt. "I knew you’d show up, because you did the same last time! You're so pathetic, Janet. Someone like you will never be good enough for me. If it weren't for the fact that I need to take you out for Karen as her biggest competitor, do you think I would have forced myself to court and marry you?

"This marriage is so useful, though. I'm your husband. If I say you're a corrupt doctor, everyone will believe it. But if I kill you, nobody will think it was me! Hahaha, this time, Karen and I are going to walk all over you, spend your money, and live a good life!"

Everyone thought Frank was just mindlessly rambling under anesthesia, but I knew every word was true.

What really shocked me was that Frank had regressed as well.

But even if he had, it wouldn’t change a thing. Everything was set in stone now. This time, he was going to lose his private parts.

He could forget about ever using me to ascend again!

Frank's surgery lasted two hours. As soon as he left the operating theater, he immediately posted a video.

In the video, Frank was wearing a hospital gown, sobbing with snot and tears everywhere. "I'm Frank Myer. The deputy chief of urology, Janet Rice, is my attending doctor and also my wife.

"Just now, I suffered damage to my private parts because I accidentally took some medicine Janet had left at home. But when I went to her for help, she didn't even bother to ask if I'd taken any medicine. She just ordered a bunch of useless tests, deliberately stalling and making my condition worse!

"Even when another excellent deputy chief, Doctor Karen White, insisted on conservative treatment, Janet refused to listen and forced me into surgery. Alas, the surgery failed, and now, I've completely lost all the functions of my private parts!

"Janet, I know you're under a lot of pressure to get promoted, but you can't just use me to boost your numbers. You've turned me into a eunuch forever! How are you going to make this right?!"

The video had just been posted, and one could tell Frank was still groggy from the anesthesia and barely awake. Still, he was clearly impatient enough to get his statement that he had prepared out as soon as possible.

Sure enough, it set off a huge uproar online, with vicious attacks pouring in.

[This Janet Rice wants to profit from her husband's misery, doesn't she? He lost his manhood, but she got her numbers up!]

[I swear this woman must have a lover outside somewhere! She even screwed over her own husband! What kind of a woman is that?!]

Among all the insults, one comment stood out.

[Doctor Karen said from the start that conservative treatment was enough. She's clearly a good doctor with both ethics and skill. Why not let Doctor Karen treat Frank and see if she can pull off a miracle?]

That comment started a commotion. Soon, people online were all demanding that Karen step in. Karen saw the comments too. In front of the reporters, she put on a humble act. "I'm just an inexperienced doctor, nowhere near as experienced or skilled as Doctor Janet. Nevertheless, for the patient's sake, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Instantly, applause filled the hospital ward. Someone even suggested making Karen the chief on the spot.

If they weren't still putting on a show, Frank and Karen would have been grinning from ear to ear.

Just then, I walked into the room and told Frank, "You brought this on yourself by taking medication haphazardly. Conservative treatment won't help you at all, so you and Karen can stop wasting your time."

To my surprise, Frank burst out laughing.

Before I could say anything, Karen came over to mock me. "Doctor Janet, you've got guts, showing your face here. Aren't you afraid the netizens will recognize you and throw rotten eggs at you?"

I shot back, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why would anyone throw eggs at me?"

Karen sneered, thinking I was just bluffing. "You're still acting tough when you're at the end? Move aside. I'm going to give Frank his conservative treatment now. Once I cure him, the chief's office will be mine!"

I looked at Frank, acting surprised. "You're really going to let Karen, a doctor on admin duty who can't even tell one medicine from another, treat you? Aren't you worried she'll ruin you for good?"

Frank rolled his eyes. "Stop playing pretend. The whole story about the failed surgery is just something I made up. You and I both know your surgery was a huge success. I'm already back to normal, so even if Karen just wipes me with some alcohol, I'll still be cured!"

I then asked him, "How can you be so sure the surgery was a success?"

Frank grinned. "You idiot. Would I have risked taking all those drugs if I wasn't absolutely certain? I'll tell you the truth… I've regressed. Just like last time, you performed the surgery quickly and perfectly!"

While Frank was busy gloating, the hospital director hurried in to explain things to the media. "There's nothing wrong with our hospital's procedures! There's no way the surgery failed!"

Frank sneered at him, "If the procedures were fine, then the problem lies with Janet. She deliberately messed up my surgery!"

But the hospital director just looked at him in confusion. "What does Janet have to do with it? Right before you went into surgery, she handed me her resignation. She didn't participate in your operation at all."
