Chapter 2

In my past life, this was when I said a few extra words.

Having worked in the imaging department for years, I knew this detector's reaction definitely wasn't from an ordinary IUD or bone pin.

It was clearly from a metal object with a battery and motor.

Combined with her slightly odd walking posture when she entered—legs pressed together—and the unnatural flush on her face.

I immediately deduced that she had a remote-controlled vibrating toy inside her body.

My duty as a doctor wouldn't let me ignore it.

Because the magnetic field inside an MRI chamber is sixty thousand times stronger than Earth's magnetic field!

This meant any magnetic metal entering the chamber would not only turn into a high-speed flying bullet.

If the metal was inside the body, it would experience violent displacement from the powerful magnetic pull.

At the same time, the magnetic field would cause eddy currents inside the metal, instantly generating temperatures of several hundred degrees.

If that thing stayed inside her during the MRI, her intestines and reproductive organs would be instantly cooked and torn apart!

In my past life, my well-meaning warning had cost me everything.

This life, looking at Leilah's face—beautifully made up but unable to hide her bitter, mean nature—I only felt cold amusement.

Hearing my question, Leilah's eyes darted away.

She instinctively pressed her legs together, then yelled viciously:

"What 'anything else'! Why do you talk so offensively?"

"What could I possibly have inside me? This is a titanium alloy bone pin from a minimally invasive surgery two years ago!"

"I already asked other doctors—titanium alloy isn't affected by MRI at all!"

"You're just a radiologist. Do you even have basic medical knowledge? Don't make a scene here when you don't know what you're talking about!"

She jabbed her finger at my nose as she scolded me.

True, having titanium alloy in your body allows you to get an MRI, because it's not ferromagnetic.

But the detector's current reaction was definitely not something as simple as titanium alloy.

She was lying. But I didn't refute her at all. I simply nodded obediently.

"If it's a titanium alloy bone pin, then you can certainly proceed."

Leilah snorted coldly, looking smug.

"At least you're not completely blind."

I turned and walked to the control desk, taking out a legally binding "Examination Informed Consent Form" from the drawer.

I picked up a pen and heavily circled several key sections.

Then I walked to a position directly under the surveillance camera.

"Ms. Leilah, although you say it's titanium alloy, for your safety and per hospital regulations."

"Please confirm once more that you have no ferromagnetic metals, electronic devices, batteries, or non-medical metal objects on or inside your body."

"If you confirm you don't, please sign here and add your fingerprint."

I handed her the form and ink pad.

Leilah didn't even look at it. She snatched the pen.

"So annoying! Such a hassle! Your crappy hospital is so difficult!"

"What else could I possibly have on me? Ridiculous!"

She scrawled her name on the form, then pressed down hard with her fingerprint.

She slapped the form on my desk.

"Done! Hurry up and scan me! My husband keeps calling me!"

I picked up the signed consent form and carefully verified it.

Black and white, with a red fingerprint.

This was her death warrant, and also my shield.

"Alright, Ms. Leilah."

"Please follow me and lie down on the examination table."

I opened the heavy shielded door and made a "please" gesture.

Leilah twisted her snake-like waist and strode into the room that would soon become her hell.
