Chapter 1739

Dr. Kerr was quickly taken into custody for investigation, and the truth emerged not long after. What happened to the girl was no accident.

He had secretly swapped the liver source.

The originally matched donor liver had been replaced, leading to the rejection that ultimately cost the patient her life. Following the revelation, the hospital paid a substantial settlement for Dr. Kerr's actions, though no amount of money could ease the pain of the grieving family. A life lost was irreplaceable.

For Karina and Wilfred, the outcome was bittersweet. They felt the sorrow of the situation but could do little more than reflect on it.

After Wilfred's name was cleared, he followed through on his promise to Karina. He assigned her to an important research project, one of the hospital's most significant undertakings.

The decision was met with resistance.

Many colleagues believed Karina was too young and inexperienced for the role. But Wilfred stood firm, defending her. "I chose her. If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility. Besides, she's here to assist me." His authority was final. Wilfred didn't need anyone's approval to back his decisions.

With his support, Karina joined the project and quickly began absorbing a wealth of professional knowledge. Her skills grew rapidly, and her gratitude toward Wilfred was beyond words.
