Chapter 8

Author: Screw
Sure enough, my words made Adam flinch for a moment, and his lips trembled.

Selena quickly grabbed his hand and stepped forward to defend him. "Stop slandering Adam! He didn't do anything like that! You can't just throw accusations around!"

Reed also jumped in. "You had us beg you to come back, only to turn out to be utterly useless! How dare you act like someone important back then?

"Good thing we only brought you back as a temporary hire. Don't even think about that full-time position you w

  • Code Red: I Won't Touch Pregnant Cases   Chapter 9

    Selena, who had initially hoped to escape, now found herself with no way out.Faced with the disdainful stares of those around her, she impatiently pulled her hand away from Adam's and glared at him. "I told you not to do this! What happened to the oath you took when you entered medicine?"I regret helping you cover up the evidence! I won't help you anymore. Face the consequences yourself!"With that, she turned and walked out of the office.The investigation into the medical malpractice was finally concluded. It was revealed that Adam's education abroad was far from impressive, and he had shown a blatant disregard for patients' lives. In an attempt to prove his own skill, he would often hastily make diagnoses.This shocking revelation brought the media flocking to the hospital, eager for interviews with the State Health Department.Anthony made sure they included me. He repeatedly praised my key role in the investigation in front of the cameras.Before a national audience, Anth

    Sure enough, my words made Adam flinch for a moment, and his lips trembled.Selena quickly grabbed his hand and stepped forward to defend him. "Stop slandering Adam! He didn't do anything like that! You can't just throw accusations around!"Reed also jumped in. "You had us beg you to come back, only to turn out to be utterly useless! How dare you act like someone important back then?"Good thing we only brought you back as a temporary hire. Don't even think about that full-time position you were promised. Pack your things and leave! You won't get paid!"He even muttered under his breath, "You should be the one compensating the hospital."As I looked at the shameless looks on all three of their faces, my frustration turned into a burning sense of defiance.After all the anger, I found myself calming down and sitting down in the chair. "There's no need to rush me out. This needs to be addressed properly. Let's take a moment and clear this all up today."Selena frowned, a flicker o

    I scoffed and asked disdainfully, "So you think I came back just to wait for you to give me a chance and get back together with you?"Selena's eyes widened as she asked in shock, "Isn't that what you want? Dr. Walsh called you a dozen times, and you didn't pick up once, yet you answered the second I called. Weren't you just waiting for me to make the first move?"Look, I'm giving you a chance now, but it's a one-time offer. If I change my mind later, you're out of luck."Her tone was so presumptuous, as if I were the one who had messed up in the relationship and should be begging her to reconcile.I fixed my gaze on her. "There's one thing I've never understood.""What is it?""Do you think I have no self-respect, that I'd ever want to be with you again?"Selena grabbed my arm. "What do you mean? You don't love me anymore? That's not funny! Stop throwing a tantrum! Saying things like that will just erode our bond!"I shook her hand off with force and spoke coldly. "I'm not thro

    But Selena had worked hard to get me back, so at this point, she dared not support Adam.Instead, she pulled him aside and whispered some words of persuasion.I had no interest in their quarrel. I put on my mask and was about to head to the ward when Adam suddenly stopped me.He lowered his voice intentionally. "She just told me everything. Once she gets all the information she needs from you, you're out of here."I raised an eyebrow, deliberately striking a dramatic pose as if about to leave. "Isn't that a little underhanded? You invite me back, only to kick me out when you're done with me? Sorry, but I won't agree to that. You'd better find someone else."Reed panicked when he saw I was about to leave.He grabbed my arm with a forced smile. "I promised you, didn't I? I'll definitely keep my word."He then glared at Adam. "Apologize to George now!"Selena remained silent.The two of them were clearly frustrated and resentful, but they had no choice but to appease me.Looking

    They were probably already panicking at the hospital by now.I was still lost in thought when Selena's voice snapped through the phone. "Stop pretending you can't hear me! Book a flight and get back here right now!"Her shrill shouting made my ears ring. I pulled the phone away slightly and replied coolly, "First, you don't get to order me around. Second, I already quit. And if I'm not mistaken, you're the ones asking me for help now. Is that really how you ask for a favor?"There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by the loud crash of something being thrown."Who do you think you are? You expect us to beg you? Come back or don't! You're nothing!"I hung up without another word and blocked the number, then stretched out on the couch and went back to watching TV.Those misdiagnosis cases weren't getting solved without me.A couple of days later, Selena, who always carried herself so arrogantly, actually came all the way to Sionara.Reed came with her too, speaking in

    Before I boarded the plane, I turned off my phone. After arriving in Sionara, I finally caught up on the sleep I'd been missing for years.It wasn't until the fourth day that I charged my phone. As soon as it powered up, missed calls and messages flooded in.The majority of them were from Selena. The messages started off as commands but soon turned desperate.The last message felt like she had given up entirely. She told me I had two hours to come back to the hospital.Even Reed called me, saying the State Health Department's investigation team had arrived and wanted me back to head the team on the misdiagnosed cases.He promised that if I could calm the families involved, they would overlook the molesting incident and reinstate me as the attending doctor.Reading these messages, I couldn't help but laugh.I had warned them multiple times that the cases weren't as simple as they thought, but no one had listened.Now, the moment the families got the State Health Department invol
