When Ashlyn, the main surgeon, had announced the end of the surgery, the other doctors and nurses collapsed onto the ground.
âIâm exhausted!â
âIt has finally ended. Whatâs up with the man. His bones were fractured in so many places. No wonder Mr. Haddock couldnât find anyone to be his doctor.â
âHe definitely needed Dr. Berry. His bones looked like they had gone through the grinder. We had to piece them back together. If they werenât pieced back well enoughâ¦â
Ashlyn looked at her bone-weary colleagues and smiled. âCome on. Letâs wrap up the surgery and send the patient to the ICU for twenty-four hours.â
âSure, Dr. Berry.â
The nurses climbed back onto their feet as they started work.
âIt has been a tiring surgery. Iâll treat you all to dinner at the Imperial Hotel tonight.â Once she had finished speaking, she walked out of the operating theater.
Cheers sounded out from behind her.
âThe Imperial Hotel!â
âAll hail Dr. Berry!â
When Ashlyn walked out of the operating theater, she saw Sienna sitting on the bench.
She had a laptop on her lap, and she was working.
The moment she heard the door opening, Sienna stood up to ask Ashlyn, âDr. Berry, how is he?â
âThe surgery went well. All he needs now is to rest and recuperate for a while.â Ashlyn removed her surgical mask and took a breath of the fresh air.
She was tired, and she had planned to take a break in her office.
Right then, she heard footsteps and a womanâs piercing voice. âDixon, what is going on? Why didnât you tell us about Dadâs surgery?â
Right then, she heard footsteps and a womanâs piercing voice. âDixon, what is going on? Why didnât you tell us about Dadâs surgery?â
âJenniferâ¦â Sienna turned. Just as her name had escaped her mouth, a loud slap echoed in the corridor.
âB*tch, shut up. Youâre merely a bringer of misfortune. You have no right to call my name.â Jennifer glared at Sienna. âEveryone knows that youâre with Dixon.â
The middle-aged woman was Jennifer, the eldest child of the Haddock family.
Behind her was Korbin, the eldest son of the Haddock family, along with his wife, Jacqueline.
Pretending to be the nice one, she tugged Jennifer. âJennifer, Siennaâs one of us now. You canât embarrass her in public.â
All Sienna felt was the burning sensation on her face. She covered her swollen left cheek, looking nothing like the confident woman that she was in the office. Chewing on her lips, she forced the tears away from her eyes.
She then took a deep breath and looked Jennifer in the eye. âJennifer, what have I done to infuriate you?â
Jennifer sneered, âItâs one thing that Dixon didnât tell us about Dadâs surgery, but itâs another for you to not tell us either. Who gave you the courage to hide this from us?â
Ever since Dixon had taken over the Haddock Group, he had ruled the family with an iron fist. His siblings were all suffocating under his control.
Sienna was the only one who had become Dixonâs right-hand man.
Dixonâs siblings had long hated Sienna. They did not even know that Arthur had been in surgery.
Catching wind of the news, they had immediately rushed over to the hospital. As the weakest one, she was their target for venting their emotions upon.
Sienna stared at her, upset. âIâm only following Dixonâs orders about Dadâs surgery. If you want to do your part, you can watch over him in the hospital. My husbandâs waiting for me at home. Iâll head off now.â
With that, she turned to leave. Unfortunately, Jennifer grabbed a handful of her hair and dragged her back.
Pain prickling her scalp, Sienna gripped onto Jenniferâs hands. âJennifer, let go of me! Let go!â
She stumbled, and her heels soon broke off. Sadly, that was a minor concern to her, in comparison to the stinging pain that was coming from her scalp.
âB*tch, how many men did you hook up with, to become the trustee of the charity?â Jennifer was envious of Sienna.
Upon the establishment of Haddock Charity, Jennifer had been eyeing for the seat of the trustee. She had never expected the position to end up with Sienna.
During these few years, the other Haddocks barely had any responsibilities. Sienna was the only one who had Dixonâs trust, meaning that she was having a great life in the Haddock family.
