"Good.Continue to observe the patient.Let me know if there's anything."
Martin looked at the patient's condition again as he told the nurse.
"Yes, Dr.Martin."
Martin came out of the ICU to the emergency department and learned about what had happened
before taking Joyce to the director's office.
Martin knocked on the door and saw that the director was on the phone.He then brought Joyce into the
office as the director ignored them and spoke respectfully to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, yes, for such a thing to happen in my hospital, I sincerely apologize.I will seriously deal with this
and give you a satisfying reply." The director put down the phone with a grim look.
"Good timing.I just wanted to look for the two of you."
"Director..."
Just as Martin was about to speak, the director stopped him.
"Joyce McCarthy, explain to me now.What happened in the emergency department today that this call
came to my office?!"
"Director, it's like this, a patient was brought into the ER, and I checked on him.I found that he was in a
rather serious condition and needed surgery, but we were unable to reach his family.I thought that
without his family's signed consent, performing surgery on him was irresponsible.I did not agree to
perform the surgery to protect the hospital's reputation."
Joyce was trembling when she explained to the director.This was the first time she saw him lose his
temper.
"So you're a stickler to the rules, a responsible doctor, eh?"
"Then why did you perform the surgery on the patient?"
"It was Nicole.She practiced medicine illegally.I did try to stop her, but she insisted on pushing the
patient into the operating theater without his family's signed consent..."Joyce immediately latched onto
Nicole's action.
"Director, if you want to sue Nicole, I can stand witness."
How Joyce wished she could see Nicole brought to justice.
"And you still have the gall to say that! Because of you, the best opportunity to operate on the patient
was almost missed.If it weren't for Nicole ignoring protocol and working miracles, this hospital would
have gone to hell with you!"
The director's eyes were red with anger as he smashed a cup onto the floor.
"How could that be, she..."
Joyce could not believe what the director had just said.
"What?! You have no idea who the patient is.His son is a multinational CEO, and it was his son who
called me just now."
Only then did Martin realize why the director was speaking in a low voice just now.
"Martin, is this how you trained them?"
"I'm so sorry, director.I never thought that I would've caused such huge trouble for the hospital."
Martin even had to apologize on Joyce's behalf.
"Get out of my sight right now, and never step foot in this hospital ever again."
The director pointed at Joyce's nose as he yelled at her before turning around and no longer looking at
them.
Joyce was already being scolded to the point of tears.She dared not even look at Martin as she ran out
of the hospital with her head down.
That afternoon, the hospital announced Joyce's dismissal.In the manor, Nicole was biting on an apple
as she surfed the web.
Suddenly recalling the weird mission earlier, she gave Zeke a call.
"Eh, Nicole, why do you have time to call me?"
Zeke was quite surprised when he got Nicole's call.
"Have you managed to find who's the person using the ID I asked you to check?" Nicole had no time to
trade banter with him and went straight to the point.
"Tsk, I thought you missed me after not being in touch for so long.It turns out you're asking for
something else.How disappointing."
Zeke pretended to be unhappy and sighed.
"Cut the nonsense.I'm probably intruding on your fun right now, right?"
"Bloody hell, do you have clairvoyance or something? No, I need to see if you have deployed spies
near me."
"No need.You're not worth deploying a spy."
"Hey, those words pissed me off.I'm still someone who is only behind you, alright? I'm a mysterious
figure that is beyond reach in the eyes of others, okay?"
"Yeah, right! If you don't tell me the results, you're a dead man."
Nicole was really tired of bantering with this idiot.
"Eh, calm down.I'll send all of the information over right now."
Zeke dared not provoke her.
"Alright, I'll be hanging up first."
Nicole opened her laptop and received the information Zeke sent over.She then carefully went over it.
"So it's the McCarthy family, huh..."
