Author: Evil SIL
Dante's smug smile froze on his face. He was utterly dumbfounded, his eyes darting between me and Chief Hardy.

The other junior doctors traded bewildered looks. "What did he just call her?"

Chief Hardy's lips parted as if to speak, but in the end, she merely frowned.

I knew that look all too well.

It was the exact same expression she'd worn my whole life whenever I let her down.

"Rowan," she finally said, her tone dripping with disappointment. "You are such a massive letdown."

  • Reported for Stealing the Drug I Invented   Chapter 10

    When the new quarter rolled around, the hospital issued an official notice.Dante was publicly reprimanded for violating medical protocols and committing academic misconduct, and his internship was terminated immediately.The department saw a fresh wave of faces, too.Sofia requested a transfer to another department. Before she left, she came by to apologize.Standing before me, she wrung her hands and rambled on.She babbled about how she had lost her mind and how Dante was too manipulative and good at turning people against each other.I kept right on organizing the medication inventory, lining the boxes up neatly.Her voice grew quieter and quieter until she finally let out a heavy sigh and walked away.The incoming junior doctors were green. Their eyes were filled with both excitement and nervousness as they stepped into the department for the first time.On his very first day, one young guy stood awkwardly in the doorway, calling me "Dr. Carver".For a moment, I was remi

    Dante's eyes were bloodshot. "You watched me brag and strut around. You must've thought I looked like a complete joke, didn't you?""I do think you're a joke," I finally said. "But not because you're an illegitimate son. It's because you honestly believed being her son meant you were inheriting something. What does she even have for you to inherit? She owns nothing herself."Dante stumbled backward, completely dazed and drained.I stood up and brushed right past him.As I passed him, his voice cracked with bitter indignation. "But she chose me."I paused in my tracks. "Yeah. She chose you."I turned around and looked down at his pathetic, disheveled face. "Have you ever stopped to wonder why she didn't choose me? Because she can never afford what my dad can give me."She's a coward who's terrified of everything, greedy for everything, and ends up keeping nothing. She didn't choose me because my dad is too powerful, and she could never control him."She chose you because you're

    Soon, the day Cristina was going to publicly acknowledge her son arrived.She stood at the podium in the academic lecture hall, wearing a crisp white blouse. Pinned to her collar was a golden brooch. It was the very brooch Dad had brought back for her from a business trip to Merriton.Dante stood right behind her.He was wearing a brand-new, high-end suit today, making him look exceptionally polished.His hair was styled meticulously, and a limited-edition luxury watch rested on his wrist.That watch was Dad's, too.His eyes scanned the crowd and zeroed in on me, a provocative smirk spreading across his face.The hospital leadership sat in the front row. The deputy hospital director, Kiera Sanford, flipped through the agenda in front of her with a hint of confusion in her expression.She likely couldn't comprehend why a department chief needed to make such a grand spectacle just to introduce an intern.Once almost everyone had arrived, Cristina cleared her throat and drew th

    Dad sounded surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking about that?""Nothing, just checking."With that, I hung up the phone.Dante looked at me, his lips parting slightly."Your dad is Braden Nelson, right?" I asked.His face was drained of all color. "How do you know that?""I don't just know your dad's name. I also happen to know that my dad paid for your dad to finish his postgraduate degree. My mom paid for every school you attended growing up, covering everything from tuition to school fees."Dead silence fell over the department office.Dante's face twisted into an ugly grimace as his voice spiked. "You're lying!""Go ask your dad whose name is on the title deed of the house he lives in or whose account pays for the resort hotels he stays at every winter."Dante's chest heaved violently. His phone slipped from the edge of the desk, landing screen-up on the floor with a new text message popping up across the display.It was from Braden."Dante, Chief Hardy is actually yo

    The morning handoff was scheduled for 8:00 am, but I arrived at 7:30 am.Someone was already in the office.Sofia was typing up chart notes at her computer. When she saw me walk in, her hand jerked, sending her mouse clattering to the floor."D-Dr. Carver."I ignored her, walking straight over to my desk.Dante's things were still taking up my spot.I set the cardboard box on the desk and began taking my things back out, piece by piece."Rowan," Dante's voice called out from behind me.I turned around.He stood in the doorway, his tone sharp with confrontation. "Who gave you permission to touch my stuff?""This is my desk," I replied coldly."But—""The computer you're using still has the startup password I set. Have you changed it? No, you haven't, because you can't. I'm the one with the admin rights."The rest of the staff began trickling in. They paused at the door, taking in the scene.Dante's expression flickered for a moment before settling back into a smirk. "Dr. C

"You are such a massive letdown."My chest tightened."Dante is your subordinate. Where is your grace as his mentor? First you throw a fit in the group chat, and now you're making a scene for the whole hospital to see? What on earth are you trying to do?"My voice sounded raspy, as though I were pushing every word out through a dry throat. "He reported me. He stole my research paper. He brought a mob to corner me in the hallway and force me to resign. And you're asking me what I'm trying to do?"Dante snapped out of his shock and took a
