It was clearly her who fell on purpose, but she bit me back. I was so angry that I was shaking all over. "I..." I was about to explain, but when I saw the manuscript in her hand, I stopped talking.

I don't know why, but I blurted out: "Do you dare to let me see your manuscript?"

Linda handed it over pretending to be generous, and said provocatively: "Why shouldn't I dare? This is my own original manuscript, what should I be afraid of?"

Her generosity made me look like I had bad intentions. People around me looked at me with contempt.

"When a person is humble, he is invincible! Today I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. I never thought that such a shameless doctor would come out of my tertiary hospital! It's really shameful!"

"Kevin, break up with her immediately and don't let her tarnish your reputation."

The room was filled with harsh remarks. I took the manuscript and read it carefully with a firm gaze, and soon found a loophole in the argument.

"In this case, the patient was planned to undergo 3D spine reconstruction, complete resection of the fractured vertebrae using an anterior approach, and implantation of a 3D printed vertebra. But there is a lack of risk assessment here. Did you miss it, or do you have no idea?"

Linda was stunned for a few seconds, then took back the manuscript and took a look at it, her eyes flickering. "How could I forget? I... just thought I'd add to it later." Her tone revealed a hint of guilt.

"Then do you have a better idea?" Linda asked, her eyes becoming more urgent.

Of course I have an idea! I left it blank here because risk assessment requires rigorous consideration and a lot of cases to verify, so I didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily. Is it for this reason? Isn't this too coincidental?

Before I could even open my mouth, the others began to sneer. "Linda, are you crazy? You ask her a person who can only plagiarize?" "Ignore her, she's just trying to trick you, Linda, you're just too naive." "How shameless! You dare to plagiarize someone's ideas right in front of the original author!"

These people continued to criticize me fiercely. I glanced at Kevin who had been silent all the time , and left the room in despair. When I reached the door, I made a firm decision and paused.

" I will give up this SCI paper. Also, I will quit my job at the hospital. Please rest assured." When I got home, I locked myself in the room, and my phone kept vibrating.

The manuscripts that were secretly photographed were spread out, and the incident of "stealing" manuscripts in KTV was exposed, and the incident fermented again.

" How can she be so shameless? I used to think of her as an idol, but I didn't expect she was such a good match!" "She must be severely punished! We can't allow this unhealthy trend of plagiarism to spread. Rachel doesn't deserve to be a doctor!" "It really overturned my three views. This is the first time I've seen a plagiarist directly copying other people's ideas."

The commotion in the group was so loud that even the hospital issued an urgent statement, and the disciplinary department asked me to prove my innocence. All the things added up, my emotions were almost on the verge of collapse, and I couldn't help crying.

I thought that living a new life would allow me to escape the fate of my previous life, but I didn't expect that things would get worse and worse, even more terrible than in the previous life. In my previous life, I was driven into schizophrenia, mental disorder and madness by all kinds of abuse and shocks. Am I going to repeat the same mistakes in this life? A feeling of powerlessness came over me, and I pinched my hair with my fingers. Even my consciousness was a little dazed, and I was ready to tear up the manuscript on the table.

At this time, the door opened, my mother snatched the manuscript, sat next to me and comforted me earnestly. "Girl, no one's life can be smooth sailing. It so happens that your father is planning to go back to the countryside to visit your grandfather, why don't you go and relax?"

I nodded without hesitation. I thought that my future was insignificant compared to my parents' lives. Just as I had vowed before, I submitted my resignation letter the next morning.
