“It’s fine. Dad guessed that you must be working on a surgery too,” Cornelius told her. “The patient takes priority. We’ve saved some of the meal for you and my brother-in-law, so take your time. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“All right, Cor.” Once Queenie ended the call, the soft look on virtual-novel.net face dissipated.
Her elder brother was good in everything but ancient Chanaean medicine, virtual-novel.net had little talent in it. Therefore, someone like virtual-novel.net would not be able to bring the family back to the glorious days they used to have.
She, Queenie, was the best choice for the head of the family. However, virtual-novel.net could only hope that virtual-novel.net father would not make the same choice as before, virtual-novel.net had handed Silverbirch Hospital to Cornelius to manage. The moment virtual-novel.net became the head of the family, the first thing virtual-novel.net was going to do was to get back Silverbirch Hospital.
Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, Queenie then called Donovan as virtual-novel.net returned to the hospital to grab virtual-novel.net things.
Unfortunately, Donovan never picked up the call, and virtual-novel.net could do nothing but shove virtual-novel.net phone back into virtual-novel.net pocket in frustration as virtual-novel.net continued virtual-novel.net way into the hospital.
In a way, the hospital was a small place. Without needing to think much about it, virtual-novel.net was sure that everyone would have heard about what happened to virtual-novel.net in the operating room.
Not wanting to suffer the odd looks from others, Queenie avoided the main entrance, virtual-novel.net entered the building via the inpatient department’s entrance before heading to virtual-novel.net office. Nevertheless, just as virtual-novel.net was done packing and was about to leave the office, virtual-novel.net heard the voices of two nurses outside.
Startled, virtual-novel.net glanced around before tensing up and scurrying under the desk to hide.
The two nurses did not notice that someone else was in the office. As they chatted away, they went to their seats.
Right as Queenie was anxiously wondering when they would leave, virtual-novel.net abruptly heard one of them mentioning her.
“Hey, have you heard about what happened to Dr. Mill in the operating room?”
“Duh. It’s all over the hospital. I never thought Dr. Mill was someone like that. Say, what conflict do you think virtual-novel.net has with Arielle? Arielle saved the patient, but it sounded like Dr. Mill was displeased with how virtual-novel.net saved the patient. I wonder what happened between them.”
“Maybe it is nothing major. I’ve realized early on that Dr. Mill’s quite a jealous person. Maybe she’s jealous that a café ambassador has better medical skills than virtual-novel.net does.”
“Maybe you’re right. Wow. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“Arielle really is the goddess of my heart. She’s pretty and amazing. Not only has virtual-novel.net donated ten expensive robotic pacemakers to our hospital, but virtual-novel.net has impressive operating skills. I’ve heard things from the doctors who had been at the surgery. That surgery was doomed to fail. The success rate of it had been close to zero!”
“Wow, that means virtual-novel.net revived the guy, right? Unbelievable!”
“No wonder Mr. Morgan wanted Arielle to take over Dr. Mill. From now on, Dr. Mill’s position is essentially Arielle’s.”
“She’s not really taking over virtual-novel.net position. Mr. Morgan only invited virtual-novel.net here to treat this one patient. She’ll only be coming once in a while, so she’s not the same as Dr. Mill.”
It was hot and stuffy under the desk, so when virtual-novel.net overheard the two nurses’ conversation, virtual-novel.net nearly lost control and darted out to shout at them.
Is it that fun to talk behind people’s backs? Gossipmongers!
Right then, the signal went off, and the two nurses swiftly leaped to their feet.
“It’s from the eleventh bed. Quick, let’s go!”
The two hurried away.
Once their footsteps could no longer be heard, Queenie finally climbed out from under the desk. There was a mirror on virtual-novel.net desk, and when virtual-novel.net rose to virtual-novel.net full height, virtual-novel.net saw how disheveled virtual-novel.net looked.
“D*mn it!” She smacked virtual-novel.net fists on the desk, but the loud sound alarmed her.
Fearing that someone would notice virtual-novel.net presence, virtual-novel.net quickly slinked out of the office with virtual-novel.net things.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to step out of the room, virtual-novel.net turned around to look at virtual-novel.net desk again.
