Chapter 1780

The Stone family wasn't just greedy. They were relentless, always pushing boundaries and expecting more.

Karina sighed. "It's not that I can't stand up to them, but sometimes it feels unnecessary. There are things that just can't be explained."

Wilfred didn't press further. "Pack your things and come with me. I have to travel for a project negotiation that will help our hospital continue expanding."

He was determined to firmly establish himself in Birkham, not just for his professional ambitions but also because Nina was there. Wilfred wanted to protect her and mentor his students, ensuring they could safeguard Nina's children in the future. "But didn't we already promise a patient that we'd perform surgery?" Karina asked, a little hesitant.

"I'll arrange for someone else to handle it."

While Karina might have been the better choice for the surgery, Wilfred had other options, including pulling Caleb in at the last minute.

"Alright," Karina replied.

Since Wilfred had a plan, she didn't press the issue. She didn't have much to pack anyway. Most of her essentials, like a change of clothes, were already in her office, a convenience for her night shifts.

Karina quickly grabbed her things and followed Wilfred out of the hospital.
