Chapter 225

Shakira had barely mentioned the name when Fiona scoffed, sneering, "Who's this Howard anyway? Don't tell me you're fishing for a scapegoat here!".

Everyone's expressions shifted, and the department head jumped in, "Ms. Banks, don't worry. Haruca Hospital would never cover for a doctor by making an innocent person take the fall for something this immoral!" Ignoring their taunts, Shakira focused on Mr. Jones and Mr. Lee who trusted her. She explained, "Howard's an intern assigned to assist me. He's been going over my diagnoses and taking notes for his learning." Mr. Lee nodded, gesturing to the head nurse. "Please have Dr. Howard come over." Moments later, Howard rushed down the hall, glancing around nervously as he took in the intense atmosphere. Shakira called him over, and he approached, looking uneasy. "Did you stay behind to study my notes after I left yesterday?" she asked.

Howard nodded. "Yes, Dr. Lonely Bird. I only stayed because you gave me permission."

"Where are your notes? Let me take a look."

Howard pulled out a small notebook and handed it over respectfully. Shakira flipped it open, seeing pages full of detailed notes from his studies.

Shakira could tell Howard was diligent. The last three pages, in particular, contained recent notes, including insights on her treatment techniques that deviated from textbook methods-marked heavily in red.

Seeing her reading, Howard spoke up, "These cases were a bit unique. I was planning to ask you about them once you had time, Dr. Lonely Bird." Shakira nodded, looking somewhat pleased. But as she turned to the next page and saw certain red-marked words, a chill ran through her fingertips.

Standing next to her, Felix noticed it too, his face suddenly changed, and he murmured, "How could this happen..."

Howard glanced over as if he'd remembered something, his brows knitting together in confusion. "This is the last patient's record and prescription from yesterday... It's the first time I've seen a doctor prescribe raw fleece flower root, especially at such a high dosage..." The moment Howard said it, everyone's faces changed drastically. The Banks family, especially, looked at Shakira like they could tear her to pieces right then and there.

Noticing the shift in the atmosphere, Howard whispered, "Dr. Lonely Bird, did I... say something wrong?"
