Chapter 31 He Gained a Private Physician

Galatea's medical malpractice case had become a public sensation, and even being one of Alaric's people, Galen couldn't protect her. He docked Galatea's entire annual bonus, issued a hospital-wide reprimand, and offered to pay half of the compensation out of his pocket to the patient's family.

"I'm sorry, Galen Archer. It was my fault that the hospital got into this mess," Galatea Hartley said after she dried her tears. She refused to succumb to despair, seeking out Galen Archer in the hospital instead.

Galen's face was etched with concern. Ever since Galatea had arrived at the hospital, it seemed like they had been in a never-ending chaos.

"You must be aware of the hospital's decision regarding the sanctions. I understand that you acted out of professional duty, but the hospital has its regulations," he said solemnly.

"I know, and I'm ready to face any consequences. I will find a way to repay the settlement to the hospital as soon as possible."

Eventually, it was decided that the compensation would be a staggering million dollars. If Galatea was to shoulder half of it, that meant five hundred thousand dollars-an overwhelming debt for her, but she had no choice but to accept the burden.

"The settlement has already been fully paid by Mr. Knight."

'Alaric? Was he always this generous?'

"With everything that's happened, I'm sure you're distressed. Take a few days off. Once you've settled down, you can come back to work."

"Okay, thank you, Galen."

Galatea Hartley left the hospital with a sunken heart, baffled by Alaric's unexpected kindness in handling the settlement.

However, she had her doubts about his goodwill and decided to seek clarity. Leaving the hospital, she went straight to his company.
