“Matt, forget it.”
Josh’s hint was obvious. If Matt spoke up for Cora again, they might deal with him.
Cora didn’t want Matt to be involved in this trouble, so she had no choice but to refrain from defending herself.
“But…”
Matt wanted to say something, but Cora shook her head at him.
Mia had Jane’s backing. Even though the truth was on Cora’s side, it would not help.
At this time, Elwood came over after discussing with several executives.
After nodding to Josh, he said to Cora,
“You had a conflict with the patient, and the patient’s family has taken a video. Once it spreads, it will definitely arouse social concern and adverse effects. Therefore, after the hospital’s leaders discuss, you’ll be suspended, and the hospital will issue a notice of criticism.”
Cora looked up in astonishment.
Matt was also shocked by this punishment.
“What?”
Even Josh frowned.
“Is this punishment too much?”
Mia started the whole matter. They thought Cora would and be suspended for a few days. As a result, not only would she be suspended, but the hospital would circulate a notice of criticism!
It would ruin Cora’s future!
“This is a unanimous decision of the hospital’s executives.”
After explaining to Josh, Elwood looked at Cora and said,
“If you have objections, you can appeal after the announcement.”
At this time, Erik, who had been mentoring Cora recently, also rushed over upon hearing the news.
He angrily questioned Elwood,
“After the announcement comes out, Cora’s reputation will be ruined. Is there any point in appealing?”
“If you find it pointless, you don’t have to appeal,”
Elwood replied indifferently.
“Cora is a rare talent. I don’t think this matter is serious enough to suspend her and report criticism!”
“But she beat a pregnant woman. No matter how good she is, we can’t accept a doctor who will harm patients!”
When Erik was arguing with Elwood, Cora saw Jane standing outside the meeting room.
A gentle smile appeared on her makeup-free face. She was like an outsider.
But Cora knew she was the one behind the scene.
Erik communicated with Elwood for a long time, but Elwood still refused to change his mind.
In the end, there were several patients in serial traffic accidents in the emergency room, and Erik needed to deal with it and had to leave.
Before leaving, he appeased Cora.
“Cora, I will continue communicating with the hospital leaders about this matter. You go and see your mother.”
Although Erik usually judged Cora during her work, he was the first person to stand up for Cora when something happened.
Apart from the fact that Cora was Professor Smith’s favorite student, whom he left with Erik, Erik indeed thought Cora was a good candidate for being a doctor, and it was a pity to see her future ruined because of this.
“Okay, Mr. Gray. I’ll leave you to your work.”
In fact, Cora knew Mia and Jane had come prepared, and she might be unable to avoid this punishment.
After coming out of the conference room, Cora went to the sterile ward.
After Mia left, Flora took a sedative and fell asleep, and now, she had just woken up. Now she seemed in good spirits, but her eyes were still red.
“Mom, I brought up the breakup. You don’t have to worry about me. I just hope that you can get better as soon as possible.”
Through the glass window, Cora forced a smile at Flora, trying not to let her bad mood and state affect
Flora.
Flora said,
“I’ve already told you. Don’t give your heart away easily if you’re not married. But you never listened. Now, you’re hurt, right?”
“I know you don’t like to hear what I say. But since you broke up, don’t disturb his life anymore,”
Flora murmured incessantly.
If it were before, Cora wouldn’t argue with Flora.
But today, she was framed by Mia and would be suspended with an uncertain future. She really couldn’t help it.
“Mom, why don’t you believe me? I really don’t want to redeem anything!”
She looked at Flora with red eyes.
After giving birth to Cora, Flora spent most of her time at home. In the view of others, she was knowledgeable, gentle, and understanding.
But in Cora’s mind, she was paranoid and stubborn.
Cora skipped a grade and was admitted to the medical school. But she had tried to intervene with
Cora’s college application. Later, she seemed to compromise and let Cora go to study medicine but secretly cut off Cora’s tuition.
If it weren’t for Cora’s excellent grades and the fact that she had been receiving a full scholarship, her dream of becoming a doctor would have been killed in its infancy.
In the past, Cora only thought Flora just liked to impose her subjective wishes on her.
But after today’s incidents, Cora couldn’t help but feel sad.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just don’t want you to break up other people’s families.”
But hearing Flora’s words, Cora still couldn’t help crying.
“You still don’t believe me. I said I didn’t do that. Mia framed me and wanted to ruin my doctor career.”
But she never expected that she had already told Flora of Mia’s motives so bluntly, but Flora was still so stubborn.
“If you don’t become a doctor, you can rely on other skills to make a living. You used to excell in all subjects. Why do you insist on studying medicine?”
“Mom, I am a doctor just to save lives and benefit others. Why do you object so much? Is it because your first love is also a doctor?”
She was so sad that she couldn’t breathe, so she said things without thinking about it.
Knowing that Flora didn’t want to mention that person the most, she still couldn’t help asking,
“What did you say? How do you know this? What else do you know?”
Flora seemed to get out of control soon. She kept asking to get to the bottom of it, looking flustered.
After the nurses in the sterile ward discovered the situation, they hurried over to dissuade them.
Matt arrived soon and gave Flora another sedative.
“Cora, I know you’re sad, but Mrs. Flora Lane really can’t take any stimulation.”
Cora watched Flora fall asleep through the glass window, feeling sad and guilty.
“I see.”
“You look tired. Go back and rest. If Mr. Gray has the latest news, I’ll let you know as soon as possible.”
Cora knew she wasn’t suitable for staying in the hospital in her current state, so she accepted Matt’s proposal.
However, after leaving the hospital, she had nowhere to go. So she simply bought a few bottles of beer and ran to Coldale Ferry.
She opened a bottle of beer. Instead of drinking it, she poured it into the river.
“Dad, I’m sorry it took me so long to come to see you.”
Coldale Ferry was where Cora’s father had an accident. His car rushed into the river. It took three days to salvage the car, but the body had not been found yet.
Everyone thought Cora’s father committed suicide because he couldn’t bear the failure.
But Cora didn’t think her optimistic father would choose that way to end his life.
So, after her father’s accident, she didn’t dare to come to Coldale Ferry, thinking that her father would not leave her if she didn’t face the fact.
But today, she was really sad and missed her father so much. Therefore, she came here spinelessly.
“Dad, Mom doesn’t support me to be a doctor. I really don’t understand why such a sacred profession is worthless in Mom’s eyes.
“Dad, I miss you so much. I wish you were here.”
While drinking the beer, with the river breeze blowing, Cora talked about her feelings to the river until the phone rang.
She looked at the phone, finding it was a video call from Byron.
Cora was hesitant to answer, but her fingers accidentally touched the connect button.
Soon, Byron’s charming jawline appeared at the other end of the video.
From his background, Cora knew he was supposed to be in the company, and she could hear other people talking about the project.
Byron was also busy flipping through the meeting materials.
Noticing that the video call had been connected, he took a look at the screen and said,
“Tonight, I…”
He wanted to tell Cora that he wouldn’t go to see her at night.
There was a problem with a project, and he would work on it until midnight.
But after taking a closer look, he found Cora was neither in the hospital nor the apartment.
“Where are you?”
