# Chapter 168: honest, so I'm sure that you're a victim in this too. | just want to know the truth.: The Chilling Confession at the Café
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 168 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife". We’ve reached a moment where secrets are beginning to crack, where a frightened young woman holds a truth so dangerous it could upend everything. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s dive into this gripping chapter together.
The air inside the plastic surgery hospital was thick with tension. Renee stood before the doctor’s assistant, her voice calm but unyielding. “We won’t make things difficult for you as long as you tell me what you know.” The assistant’s face was pale, her hands trembling like leaves in the wind. She wanted to run, to hide, to pretend she knew nothing—but her eyes betrayed her. She knew something. Something important.
Finally, with a ragged breath, the assistant whispered, “Okay... let’s talk somewhere else.”
They left the hospital and headed to a café nearby. The assistant could barely meet their eyes. Where everyone’s eyes and ears had once been, now there was only quiet—and quiet can be even more unnerving. Leia glanced around to make sure they were alone before speaking gently. "It's okay, this place is safe. Your colleagues and superiors aren't here." She wanted the young woman to feel that she had nothing to fear. The café was neutral ground; no one would overhear them.
But the assistant still hesitated. She stared down into her cup of coffee as if the dark liquid might give her a reason to stay silent. For a long time, she didn’t speak. Her face twisted with guilt and fear. Then, slowly, she opened her mouth.
“To be honest, I found that surgery weird because Doctor Leslie Snyder is always very cautious. He would use the anesthesia with the lowest risk if he could, but... he behaved strangely that day. He insisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects are strong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It’s what we call brain death!”
Leia’s heart nearly stopped. “A forbidden anesthesia?” she repeated, shocked. She and Renee had suspected foul play, but this was far more terrible than they had imagined. This was not a medical accident. This was deliberate. Someone had been incredibly bold—bold enough to use a lethal, prohibited substance on a patient without hesitation. Renee’s instincts had been right all along. This wasn’t Quinton’s bad luck or a careless mistake. It was an attempt at murder.
The assistant’s eyes filled with tears as she continued. She explained that she had disagreed with Doctor Snyder at first. But the doctor had claimed they were out of imported anesthesia, and the surgery couldn’t be delayed. He assured everyone that although the drug was forbidden, many plastic surgery hospitals had used it in the past without complications. The assistant was just a mere assistant—a young woman with no power, no voice. She had no choice but to cooperate. She never imagined something would go so wrong, so tragically wrong.
“I’m so sorry. We didn’t do it on purpose. At least, I didn’t mean to. I wouldn’t have let them use the problematic anesthesia if I knew things would turn out this way. Please don’t take it out on us; my family is poor, and I’m my parents’ only child. I...” Her voice broke into quiet sobs.
The scene was heartbreaking in a strange way. Here was a person who might be complicit—but also, perhaps, just another pawn in a much larger game. Leia became flustered by the woman’s tears. She softened her voice and said, “Alright, stop crying. If you’re innocent, we’ll leave you alone.” Renee watched the assistant carefully, sensing that the young woman was not the real enemy. The enemy was still hiding in the shadows, pulling strings.
Leia leaned forward, pressing the point with quiet urgency. “I can give you a chance to make up for your mistake. Try and recall carefully if Doctor Snyder did anything odd. You’re saying that he’s very experienced and wouldn’t purposely use forbidden anesthesia on the patient, so someone must have ordered him to do so.”
The assistant's fingers tightened around her cup. She struggled. She wrestled with herself for what felt like minutes. Finally, in a timid voice, she said, “Er... He did something, but I don’t know if it was odd or not.”
Leia felt her pulse quicken. “Go on.”
And there, in that quiet café, the chapter ends—right on the edge of the truth, with the assistant about to reveal the strange thing Doctor Snyder had done. That one sentence could be the key to unraveling a sinister conspiracy. But what was it? And who was truly responsible for turning an ordinary surgical consultation into a deliberate attempt on Quinton’s life?

### Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a tense, atmospheric chapter! The muted café setting contrasts beautifully with the heavy secrets being unearthed. I love how the story slowly peels back the layers—first, Renee’s suspicion; then the assistant’s guilty confession; and now a hint of something even darker. It’s so frustrating and exciting at the same time that the chapter ended right at the moment of revelation. The raw emotion of the assistant—her fear, her regret, her desperation—felt incredibly real. This chapter proves how greed and obedience can turn ordinary people into unwilling accomplices. I am on the edge of my seat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

### Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that in the next chapter, the assistant will finally reveal a crucial clue about Doctor Snyder’s suspicious behavior—perhaps a secret phone call, a mysterious visitor, or a payment she wasn’t supposed to see. Once Renee gets that thread, she will pull hard and expose the person behind this horrifying scheme. Xavier may also become involved, especially since Renee originally got the doctor’s contact through him. The question is: was Doctor Snyder acting alone, or is the true mastermind someone much closer to them all? The next chapter is bound to bring even more explosive revelations.
