Chapter 43 Galatea's Accident


These past couple of days, Galatea had been especially busy at the hospital. As a surgeon, her primary role was to perform operations. But ever since the incident with Andreas, Galen had barred her from the operating room. She spent her days on ward duty, interacting with patients' families. Her schedule was packed even though she no longer performed surgeries.

Today, a patient suffered severe postoperative bleeding, and Galatea had been tending to the emergency, so consumed by her work that she skipped lunch. Nearly three in the afternoon, when she was just about to grab a bite, the ER was overwhelmed, and she rushed to assist.

Several injured patients arrived as casualties of a street brawl. Galatea was in disbelief-fights in public, really?'

Her phone rang while she was stitching up a patient. Finishing up, she checked her phone to see it was Alaric calling.

After returning the call, she barely had time to say a word before Alaric's stern voice cut through, "You never learn, do you? It's nearly six o'clock!"

Alaric had finished work early and had been waiting in the lounge for an hour already, but there was no sign of Galatea.

"Mr. Knight, the hospital is just swamped. I really don't have a moment."

"I'm not interested in excuses. Come here, now!" he commanded.

"But... hello?" She thought to herself, 'What an annoying man!'

So selfish, never being considerate of others!

Finally, the commotion slowed down after she bandaged a patient's minor injury, Galatea quickly changed and darted out of the hospital.

Once outside, she hailed a cab, realizing how hungry she felt. Without any delays, it was a twenty-minute drive from Serenity Heights Medical Center to Nexus Innovations.
