“Oh my god…” The voice that came from behind made Sandra spin around instantly.

With the look of someone who had just stumbled upon a scandal big enough to hit the front page of every gossip mag, Selina didn’t bother to lower her voice as she exclaimed,

“I thought this hospital was a reputable public institution, but wow, talk about skeletons in the closet! The director’s niece got promoted ahead of everyone else, huh?”

It was the open secret everyone in the department knew but never talked about because there’d be hell to pay if it got out.

Sandra’s face flushed as she hurried to explain “Ms. Turner, you’ve got it all wrong.”

“What did I get wrong? Aren’t you the director’s niece?”

“Yeah, I’m his niece… Ugh, that’s not the point!” Sandra stammered, her face burning with embarrassment.

“It’s all about connections.” Selina waved her off dismissively. “Well, my dad is Keith Turner. That will count for more than your distant family connection. Shouldn’t I waltz in here and snag a director position? Sure, I haven’t spent a day in med school and wouldn’t know glucose from sugar, but I can ask my dad to sponsor some new equipment for you

guys.”

Her proclamation was loud enough that several heads turned in the corridor to listen.

After hearing the commotion from his office, Ruben rushed out to intervene.

“Our hospital has zero tolerance for nepotism or corruption, and I won’t stand such accusations!”

“Accusations?” Selina cocked an eyebrow, casually flipping her foot. “Maybe I should just file a complaint with the health department and let them do some digging. If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize, and I’ll get my dad to sponsor some new gadgets for you.”

threat.

Selina’s eyebrows furrowed in anger. “What the hell are you doing?”

Ruben’s expression darkened. “Ms. Turner, I’ve been patient with you out of respect for your father. We have no bad blood, so why would you report us to the authorities? Do you understand the kind of trouble that could cause our hospital?”

“Give me back my phone!”

Unintimidated by her, Ruben hid the phone behind his back and said, “Your father has been a partner of this hospital for years. Do you think he’d let you cause such a scene?”

But Selina’s temper was up. She pushed her wheelchair toward him, attempting to reclaim her phone, but a grown man was more than a match for a woman in a wheelchair.

Being on Ruben’s side, Sandra stepped in to push Selina back, making her more furious. Selina grabbed a fistful of Sandra’s hair.

“How dare you push me? You think I’m easy to bully because I’m in a wheelchair?”

As Sandra was yanked forward, her body twisting in pain, she screamed and flailed, “Let go! Let go of me!”

Ruben was stunned and then barked at Leanne, “Pull them apart, for goodness’ sake!”

Leanne didn’t know where to begin.

“Someone’s filming this mess. It’ll be all over the internet if you two don’t stop.”

At the mention of a camera, Sandra froze. As a doctor, being filmed fighting with a patient was the last thing she needed.

“Scared now, huh?” Selina snickered, giving Sandra’s hair another vicious tug and kicking her with her plastered leg. “I’ve got three million followers. I’m not worried at all!”

Leanne sighed in exasperation. “Selina!”
