“I'm not sure of the details. Three days ago, Ms. Rivers broke down after she left Stanford Hospital. When I checked the security footage of the hospital, I saw Ms. Rivers crying uncontrollably. After that, she applied for leave from you and headed back to her parents' place. As such, my guess is that what happened to Ms. Rivers could be related to Dr. Quinn from Stanford Hospital,” Asher replied.

Natalie nodded and said, “All right. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your hard work. I'll transfer you the remaining payment in a while.”
