The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 395

Vivian stood with her arms crossed, listening for a moment before deciding it was incredibly dull.

She simply had zero respect for Jonah Granger.

This was a man who thought he could upend people's lives with a few words, then erase all accountability with a casual 'I mistook you for someone else.' Did he really think it was that easy?

If it were any other woman, Vivian might have actually felt a twinge of sympathy.

But Amara...

She entirely deserved it.

Vivian gave a silent, cynical smirk and couldn't be bothered to walk any closer. She turned around and headed downstairs, pulling out her phone to shoot Zoe Hunt a text.

Given the state Amara was in, Dominic Fairchild definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.

He would likely be coming to Northside soon.

She needed someone to keep an eye on him.

It wasn't particularly late, but most of the hospital departments had already closed for the day. Only the ER doctors and nurses were still on duty.

As Vivian stepped out of the elevator, she walked a few paces before a chaotic commotion caught her attention. A woman's voice, though not overwhelmingly loud, carried an agonizing, throat-tearing desperation.

"I'm begging you... Please, I'm begging you, save my daughter. She's only six years old. She has her whole life ahead of her, she can't just..."

She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.

Her pale face was etched with hopeless despair.

The woman fell to her knees, pressing her hands together as she repeatedly bowed her head. "I know it's all my fault. I don't have the means, but she's fallen into a coma. I'm begging you..."

The female doctor's face was full of helplessness. She was a mother too, but medical decisions weren't entirely up to her. If it were a minor issue, it would be one thing, but a massive surgery like this... Who would dare take on such a risk?

With a quiet sigh, all she could do was help the frail woman back to her feet.

"Penny's mom, begging me here isn't going to change anything. If you really want Penny to get better, you need to go home and pull yourself together. We live in the digital age—start a live stream or set up a crowdfunding page online. There are plenty of options. You don't have to leave Penny with zero hope."

Claire Caldwell obviously knew there were other options.
