Chapter 54: You Are Fired

Before anyone could respond, Nolan immediately stepped forward, putting on a professional smile. "Ah, Dr. Clark. It’s nothing serious. Just a minor disagreement between our new doctor and the duty nurse. You don’t need to trouble yourself with something so trivial. I’ll handle it."

The man standing at the doorway was none other than Dr. David Clark, Head of the Oncology Department and one of the clinical directors of Hope Specialized Hospital. Known for his calm demeanor and sharp judgment, Dr. Clark had witnessed countless conflicts during his career. However, tonight’s visit wasn’t by chance. Just as he had been wrapping up his shift, Chairman Edward Miller personally called and asked him to immediately go to Ward 12B to assist someone named Eleanor Raynor, someone the chairman described as "very important."

Though surprised, Dr. Clark took the call seriously. Now, observing the group gathered in the ward, he immediately sensed the underlying tension. Still, he kept his tone level and professional.

"I see. And who are the individuals involved in this... disagreement?"

Dr. Annabelle Gresham stepped forward. "Director, I am the duty doctor here and one of the people involved."

Clark nodded. "Ah, yes. You’re the recruit I interviewed a few days ago, correct? The gold medalist from your graduating batch?"

"Yes, Director," Annabelle replied respectfully.

"Very well. Tell me what happened."

Annabelle explained clearly and concisely, "I started my shift a short while ago. As I entered the ward to check in with the duty nurse, I overheard her speaking rudely to patients. I reminded her of her professional responsibilities and told her I would report her behavior. In response, Nurse Clara Vane called her boyfriend, Dr. Nolan Piers, who arrived and immediately threatened to fire me without listening to any explanation. All the patients here witnessed what happened."

At that moment, Eleanor stepped forward to support her.

"I can confirm everything she said," she said confidently. "Dr. Gresham acted professionally. Nurse Vane was the one causing trouble."

Dr. Clark turned toward her. "And you are?"
