Dexterâs staff had already readied a car when Josie exited the plane. Her first destination was the hospital where Paul used to work in.
A black Porsche traveled from the airportâs underground car park and sped toward the destination.
Since Josie was the only passenger, Moses asked, âMrs. Russell, what if Arnold follows us?â
They were not sure why Arnold came to Rivodia.
Josie looked at the cityâs night scenery and replied, âHe canât be that free or generous to follow me to search for Paul.â
Moses nodded.
They soon arrived at Rivodia City Hospital. The hospital director was informed of their arrival and rushed to welcome them. âGreetings, Mrs. Russell.â
Josie was surprised. âHave we met before?â
âMr. Russell informed me that you would be visiting. Please come in.â The hospital led the way and brought Josie to an office. He poured her a glass of water and said, âIâm sorry you had to travel so far.
How may I help you, Mrs. Russell?â
The hospital director observed Josie closely, trying to ascertain her illness.
Josie smiled, âIâm here to ask about someone?â
âMay I know who?â
âHis surname is Warren, and he used to be a surgeon in your hospital.â Josie offered the hospital director a doctorâs practicing certificate as she spoke. It had a photo of Paul.
The hospital director adjusted his glasses and looked at it with a tight frown.
Josie had a bad feeling about this.
âMrs. Russell, this man last worked in our hospital more than a decade ago, but I was only transferred here ten years ago. Furthermore, itâs such an old matter. I canât recall anything about him.ââ
It was terrible news.
Josie clenched her hands. âIn that case, can you help me check his records in this hospital? I want to know why he left.â
âSure,â the hospital director agreed and immediately made a phone call Around half an hour later, the hospital director left the room momentarily before returning with a folder.
âThis is his complete record.â
Josie immediately opened the folder and read it. She was surprised that Paul had conducted many significant surgeries during his period of employment in this hospital. Furthermore, he presented many medical papers. However, his career only lasted three years. Everything ended abruptly, and the record only stated a few words. âTermination of employment!
The reason was severe medical malpractice.
However, the record did not provide details about it.
âI investigated and discovered that his license was revoked after this.â
That was why he moved his family to Waverly and had difficulty getting stable employment.
Josie looked at how young Paul looked in the photo and wondered what kind of injustice he had suffered.
She recalled Paul was dependable and highly experienced. It was impossible to believe he had committed severe medical malpractice unless something had happened.
âIs there any doctor from more than ten years ago still in this hospital?â
The hospital director considered before replying, âThe older doctors were all promoted and transferred elsewhere or retired⦠Oh, you can talk to the former hospital director. He might know what had happened then.â
âWhere is he?â
âIf Iâm not mistaken, heâs still in Rivodia and is quite wellâknown. You should be able to find him quite easily. However, Iâm afraid he might not reveal anything.â
Josie was not afraid despite the hospital directorâs concern. She was willing to try any clue she could find.
Still, the hospital director did not know the personâs address, so Josie had no choice but to contact Dexter.
His staff in Waverly immediately attended to the matter. Soon, Larry sent a message. âHis name is Robert Quincy. He is the proprietor of La Oriele in Rivodiaâs southern district.
Josie read it and wanted to set off immediately. However, Larry sent another message. âMrs. Russell, Mr. Russell reminds you to be careful.â
