Chapter 662



The video was the surveillance footage from the night at the Grand Plains General Hospital’s emergency department, where she had slapped Minna in public. Branson faced Belinda and said, “I’d like to hear your explanation of this first.”

Belinda briefly replied, “It was a personal dispute.”

Branson’s tone became stern. “No matter the personal reasons, such an action is unacceptable in a public setting within the hospital! You must be aware of your role! You are a doctor here! Consider how this will affect how others see you. Do you believe your behavior off duty doesn’t impact your professional reputation? Dr. Wright, you’ve already become a well-known figure in our hospital, very famous!” Sarcasm soaked his last sentence.

Lowering her gaze, Belinda did not argue back.

She simply responded in an even tone, “I am willing to accept punishment for this.”

Acknowledging her fault, she saw no merit in disputing the facts.

When Branson heard that, a subtle satisfaction appeared in his expression.

He said, “Dr. Wright, your attitude is praiseworthy. The image of our hospital has been compromised by your actions. Therefore…”

“You’re penalized with a three-month performance bonus deduction, plus a formal reprimand across the entire hospital. Do you have any objections?” Branson said.

Belinda inhaled sharply, her chest tight with suppressed frustration.

She believed Branson had finally found an opportunity to reprimand her.

“No,” Belinda responded evenly.

Branson nodded, his expression unreadable. “Alright, you can leave now. Remember this lesson, and don’t make the same mistake again.”

Without another word, Belinda turned and walked out of the room.

It wasn’t until the office door closed behind Belinda that Branson allowed a small, satisfied smile to creep across his face.

He had finally gotten the chance to get back at Belinda!

He felt a twinge of gratitude toward the anonymous person who had sent that damning video to his email earlier that day.

After all, he had been scrambling to find a fault with Belinda for months!

The Medical Section moved quickly, and before long, the notice of Belinda’s punishment was prominently displayed on the bulletin board.

When everyone saw the reason stated, the halls buzzed with whispered conversations.

This time, they could only agree that Belinda had acted too impulsively.

She shouldn’t have slapped someone at the hospital. Yet, it wasn’t considered a major scandal, and after a brief flurry of gossip, everyone moved on.

Two days had passed.
