Regret Novel 19

Tricia smoothed her hair with a satisfied smile, her lips curling upward as she admired her reflection in the mirror. She cast one last glance at the cubicle behind her, then strode out with her head held high.

Tricia hadn’t been back long when Charlotte returned as well.

When the meeting finally wrapped up, Charlotte emerged alongside Jonathan and two highly respected medical experts.

“Charlotte, I heard from Jonathan that you were Professor Carstairs‘ last and most promising student. To be performing complex surgeries on your own at such a young age–truly outstanding!” Elder Lockwood praised her warmly.

Charlotte smiled. “You flatter me, Elder Lockwood. I owe everything I know to my mentor’s patient teaching.”

Elder Lockwood clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled. “You’re ust as modest as your mentor. Always so humble!”

After saying goodbye to the two senior doctors, Charlotte and Jonathan headed downstairs together. A crowd had gathered in the lobby, with Tricia at the center, loudly lamenting her missing bracelet and demanding that security check the surveillance footage.

Director Winthrop, where exactly did you lose your bracelet?”

Yes, it’s something you always wear–how could you just misplace it?”

Tricia looked utterly distressed. Spotting Charlotte, she deliberately aised her voice, “I… I remember going to the restroom. I ran into Dr. Sterling there, and after that, my bracelet was gone.”

The crowd murmured in surprise.

Most of those present were hospital staff who’d come for the conference.
