Semua Bab Code Red: I Won't Touch Pregnant Cases: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"George Stewart, you're ruining the hospital's reputation! The patient's family is blocking the outpatient building, demanding an explanation!"Reed Crane, the hospital director, was ashen-faced as he repeatedly rapped his knuckles on the desk.Outside the ER, the area was packed with protesters holding signs that read "Unethical Doctor", "Justice for the Mother", and "A Disgrace to the White Coat".Netizens were demanding that my medical license be revoked and that I be thrown in a cell. The wave of public fury was so massive, it felt like a revolution.I gripped the medical record and defended myself. "That pregnant woman was turning blue and convulsing. It was clearly a high-risk emergency. My assessment followed the standard emergency procedure—""Enough!" A sharp voice cut me off. Selena Carson, the head nurse, stormed in, her high heels clicking as she held a stack of complaint letters."Mr. Crane, the online outrage is growing more intense. We have to punish George immedia

Adam smirked, adding fuel to the fire.Cody, who had been holding onto my sleeve, begging me to save his daughter, now glared at me with fury."So it's you! And you had the nerve to stand there putting on an act, pretending you could save my daughter? Were you planning to get your hands on her too? I'll make sure you regret this!"Adam snorted and patted his chest confidently. "Don't worry. We'll make sure he doesn't touch the patient. I'll treat her myself."Looking at Cody's cold stare and Adam's sycophantic grin, I couldn't help but feel disgusted.Yeah, I was quitting anyway. What did it matter to me?I turned to leave, but Selena quickly caught up, ordering, "George, Dr. Walsh needs to prepare for surgery. Go get ready. I reassigned you. I didn't ask you to loaf around the hospital."Upon hearing that, Adam deliberately threw the medical records on the floor. The papers were scattered everywhere.He raised an eyebrow and said, "George, please pick these up and organize the

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

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

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
