The medical staff in the know started spilling the tea in the comments section.
[Bella’s husband is Austin Luther, and he’s a skilled obstetrician at our hospital. Bella went into early labor, suffered from amniotic fluid embolism, and had severe bleeding. She pleaded with her husband to operate on her, but he was too busy delivering puppies for his mistress‘ pet.]
[Autumn is Bella’s best friend and sister–in–law. She brought Bella back to life, but her
baby was in need of medicine. The child’s uncle was occupied with making good food for the same woman’s pet dog instead of delivering the life–saving drug. The baby ultimately
died.]
The public was outraged.
[I guess the mistress‘ pet dog matters more than the poor mother and child to these
brothers.]
[I mean, I love dogs, but I can’t understand Austin and Aaron’s behavior.]
[The brothers fell in love with the same woman. Their wives are the ones suffering.]
[Kirsty claims to help strays while abusing them in secret. She’s one to screw with the wives and upset them into early labor. The bitch deserves to die.]
[Kirsty is after married men, and not just one. She has her sights on a pair of brothers. She
should be ashamed of herself.]
Kirsty, Aaron, and Austin were public enemy number one at that point.
The shares of Aaron’s business plummeted for a week straight.
The public blew the whistle on Aaron’s pharmaceutical factory for improper disposal of waste, prompting an investigation by the environmental protection agency. The business
operation had since ceased.

Austin was suspended from his duties at the hospital until further notice.

Pregnant mothers could not stand the fact that Austin would ditch his wife and baby to deliver puppies for his affair partner’s pet dog.
He would not be returning to his post anytime soon.
Kirsty was bombarded with online abuse. The outraged public and clout–seeking influencers gathered outside her home, demanding justice.
She had been canceled for tax evasion and the promotion of violence.
While there was no animal protection law in place, Kirsty had once poisoned the strays.
Autumn and I poured a lot of time and money into gathering the evidence of her crime to get her charged.
In the end, she was arrested for threatening public safety, and she would be looking at serving three years bellind bars at the minimum.
When Kirsty was taken away, she yelled at me and Autumn furiously.
“All I did was deliver a package of a dead cat to Bella. What have I ever done to you?
“It’s your fault for not keeping your men. Why are you putting this on me?
“Aaron and Austin wanted to be nice to me. It was their choice not to do the surgery or
deliver the medicine. They are the ones to be blamed for the loss of the child. Why are you doing this to me?”
I said with a straight face, “Because you’re a bitch.”
Autumn gave her the middle finger.
Kirsty blew up.
Nevertheless, Autumn and I walked away from her, not sparing another glance.
Austin and Aaron waited for us outside the precinct.

Today was the day our divorce would be finalized.
“I didn’t stop you from putting Kirsty behind bars, Bella. I’ve been suspended after what you posted online. I don’t blame you, even after I received all the hate. Are you over it now? Can we not go through with the divorce?”
Austin presented me with roses, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Aaron gave Autumn a bouquet of red roses too. He murmured blushingly, “You know me.”
Autumn and I pushed the flowers away.
“Since you care so much about Kirsty, you should marry her once she gets out of jail, Aaron. You can marry anyone else, but I won’t be your wife anymore,” Autumn replied in disdain.
Aaron, always the subject of her adoration, was fed up with Autumn’s repeated rejections.
“So I screwed up. My nephew is dead, and I feel horrible enough. My business suffered massive losses after the things you posted online. I didn’t even blame you when the shareholders refused to get off my back. Why won’t you let this go?”
Autumn looked askance at him. “You’re trash. You’re not even worth my time.”
“You’ll be sorry, Autumn.”
Aaron dumped the roses into the trash can and dragged her into the car to head to the courthouse.
I stepped into the other vehicle.
Austin ran after me with his arms full of roses. “I think Aaron didn’t handle things right.
We were in the wrong, to begin with. He could’ve done a better job apologizing. I’m not like him, Bella. I want to save our marriage.”
