BuzzNovelEthan recited the law, his voice cold and precise. “Section 184 of the Civil Code makes it clear: If someone
voluntarily provides emergency assistance and accidentally causes harm, they aren't held civilly liable. And
Section 183 states that if you get injured while protecting someone else's lawful rights, the person responsible
for the original harm is the one who should be liable.”
The woman shrank back, tugging nervously at her husband's sleeve.
“Don’t try to throw all that legal mumbo-jumbo at me,” the man snapped, waving Ethan off with a scowl. “The
fact is, you're the ones who hurt my father. Now we have to drop everything and look after him. You're paying for
emotional distress, lost wages, medical bills-the lot. Not a single penny less.”
He spat on the floor, his whole demeanor radiating that ugly, belligerent certainty of someone who wouldn't let

Ethan met his glare without the slightest flicker of unease. After handling so many cases, he'd seen every trick in
the book-people like this weren't even worth breaking a sweat over.
“Letput it simply for you,” Ethan said, his tone steady. “We're not the ones who owe you money. In fact, you
owe us.”
“What kind of crap logic is that? We're the victims here. Why the hell would we owe you anything?”
The man’s voice grew louder, drawing uneasy glances from everyone nearby.
Ethan ignored him, turning to the officers. “Officers, I'll leave the rest to you. My sister's pretty shaken up by all
this, so I'll go calm her down. My brother and | will head to the station later to cooperate with your

One of the officers, after glancing briefly at Alessia, nodded. “Attorney Morton, we'll handle these two. Take care
of your family.”
He strode over to the couple. “Alright, you two. Stop blocking the hallway and tell us what happened. If you're
here just to cause trouble, we can take this conversation down to the station.”
The threat worked. The couple exchanged nervous looks, then slowly stood up, supporting each other. When the
officers questioned them, their answers were evasive-except when it cto assigning blame. They insisted it

longer. He stepped forward, voice trembling with a mix of nerves and resolve. “I studied traditional medicine
under my mentor for nearly two years, and I'm a freshman at medical school. When the gentleman collapsed on
the bus, he didn’t fall or get injured. With help from other passengers, | laid him flat and, when | realized he'd
