When Mona didn't try to push him away again, Frank nodded in satisfaction."Stop selling yourself short. You're someone I believe in. If anyone gets to criticize you, it's me." He ruffled her hair with a grin. "Alright, let's get to work."With Frank's affirmation still ringing in her ears, Mona spent the next five days with him in the lab.Aside from meals—when they went to the cafeteria together—every waking hour was spent working. Most nights, they even stayed in the lab until they were too exhausted to keep going.When Linda heard about this, she nearly ground her teeth down. A man and a woman cooped up in a lab day and night? She was convinced their bond would deepen quickly. But she had no authority to remove Mona. All she could do was watch helplessly.On the sixth day, the research phase finally reached a pause.Frank and Mona showered in the break room next to the lab, changed into fresh clothes, and headed to the cafeteria together."I'm starving. I could eat an entire roast

When Linda stayed silent, her expression stiff, Frank softened his tone. He didn't want Mona dragged into more trouble."Mona's new. I get that people aren't always welcoming toward newcomers, but this is going way too far."Linda bit her lip, unwilling to back down."What's so special about Mona that you keep taking her side?"Frank frowned, missing the implication in her words."Wait… don't tell me you've been targeting her because I look out for her?"Linda's silence was answer enough."Linda, you're the head nurse. I thought you'd know how to keep things under control, but instead you're the one stirring up trouble." His disappointment was obvious."I only posted the truth." Linda turned her head stubbornly, refusing to admit fault. To her, apologizing in front of Frank meant losing."The truth?" Frank gave a sharp laugh. "Should I bring in that patient and let him explain what really happened?"Her lips pressed tighter, and her expression faltered.Frank's patience snapped."You'

The vice president rolled his eyes at Frank's stubborn defense of Mona."Frank, don't be so blind about this! What exactly is your relationship with Miss Mona? Why are you cleaning up her mess?" one of the administrators demanded."She's my friend. And she's as capable as any doctor here. From what I know of her, she would never do something like this," Frank replied without hesitation.The disapproval on their faces was obvious, but he pressed on. "Besides, if you actually had solid evidence, I wouldn't argue. But you don't even have a witness willing to show up. You're clearly just trying to pin this on her."That jab made the room tense."Vice President, be honest. Where exactly did this so-called witness come from? Don't tell me you just dragged someone in to play the part," Frank said with a cold smile, arms crossed.The vice president bristled at his dismissive tone. "You brat, what grudge would we have against her? Why would we bother framing her? Do you really think we'd go th

Frank let out a cold laugh. "This isn't about gossip. They've just got way too much time on their hands."He had already dug into it privately and discovered that the first people to spread the rumors all came from Linda's department. He didn't rule out that Linda herself had started it, but he despised the cowards who piled on even more.What really infuriated him was how the doctors were mostly staying out of it, but the nurses kept badmouthing Mona. Some even went as far as posting online, saying she should be kicked out of the hospital—that someone like her didn't deserve to be a nurse.To Frank, these people weren't just cruel. They were useless. Instead of doing their jobs, they spent their time stirring up trouble."Enough," Mona cut in, not wanting to drag the topic out. "This will pass. Don't get yourself involved anymore."The truth was, in those first few days she had thought about resigning. But after seeing how fiercely Frank defended her, she couldn't bring herself to sa

Frank let out a sharp laugh. His voice dripped with cold disdain, and when his eyes swept over them, the chill was enough to make Lynn and the others fall silent on the spot.Only when the room was quiet did he drawl, "Raise hell until the end? Threaten the hospital?"The word threaten was heavy, carrying consequences far beyond their understanding.Lynn swallowed hard and stammered, "We're not threatening the hospital. We just want what's fair.""Fair?" Frank sneered. "All of you are well past your twenties, combined you're pushing two hundred, and you still believe there's such a thing as 'fairness' in this world?"Lynn hadn't expected him to mock them so bluntly. His arrogance left her momentarily stunned."My father's the director, and yes—I do have the power to call the shots here," Frank said flatly, his gaze sharp. "If you're not competent, you're out. You think throwing a tantrum as a group is going to force the hospital to bend?"That hit a nerve."Incompetent? Who are you ca
