Derek's POV
When I saw Tabitha, who was in a sorry state, anger and pity surged in my heart.
Tabitha cried so hard that she couldn't even speak. How could she even get checked out like this?
And how could I trust that doctor when she hurt Tabitha before the surgery even started?
Dr. Palmer stammered as she tried to explain herself.
"Alpha Derek, it was all a misunderstanding. I thought this young lady was... Well..."
But seeing her panicked expression and shifty eyes next to Tabitha's pitiful look made it clear to me that her excuses were just an attempt to dodge responsibility.
I would never allow anyone to harm Tabitha. This doctor must pay for what she did.
"No, you weren't like this earlier! Alpha Derek, she slapped me first. It's her fault," yelled Dr. Palmer.
Tabitha sobbed
