"No need." Leanne's voice was slightly nasal as she spoke, "I've already submitted my resignation."

The Dean felt a wave of relief washed over him. Having Dr. Curtis with unparalleled status leave the hospital might not be such a bad thing after all. It would save them the trouble of constantly having to appease him.

He offered a half-hearted consolation, "We'll definitely consider disciplinary action for Sandra's case and bring you justice. Please don't resign on a whim. You're one of our most promising ophthalmologists. Losing you would be a huge loss for our hospital."
