Chapter 924



Eventually, one of them mustered the courage to step forward.

“Dr. Wright,” the person said, clearing their throat nervously.

“Please rest assured; we’ll follow all your instructions exactly as you say. Just… don’t be upset.”

A muffled laugh erupted from a nearby resident doctor.

Belinda was rendered momentarily speechless.

Did these people seriously think she was someone violent? That she would lash out at a patient for disobeying her?

Taking a slow, steady breath, she forced a small, reassuring smile.

“You don’t need to worry,” she said calmly.

“I treat all my patients with care. I’ve never so much as raised my voice at one before.”

The person nodded quickly, chuckling nervously.

“Oh—of course, of course. That’s very reassuring.”

After finishing her rounds, Belinda had barely stepped into her office when her phone rang. Caiden’s name flashed on the screen. He asked her to come to his office.

Belinda quickly went to his office.

As soon as she stepped into Caiden’s office, Caiden said, “This surveillance footage fiasco is turning into a full-blown disaster—not just for you, but for the hospital as well. Our official social media accounts are being flooded with criticism. As soon as this blew up, Branson from the Medical Section stormed into the director’s office. He even dug up footage of that incident in the ER—the one where you slapped someone. Now, he’s using it to paint you as a habitual offender, claiming you have a history of violent behavior. He’s demanding the director take immediate disciplinary action against you.”

Caiden let out a heavy sigh, rubbing his temples.

“Belinda, what were you thinking? Why did you do that just outside the hospital premises?” His voice was filled with resignation.

Belinda folded her arms, her expression calm.

“That woman threw the first punch. I made sure not to fight inside the hospital—I took her outside to settle it. That was already me showing restraint out of respect for the hospital’s reputation.”

After a pause, she continued, “By the way, the surveillance room’s security is seriously compromised. This morning, I went to retrieve the footage to prove my case, but it had already been erased. Someone was bribed to delete the exact segment I needed. Now, I have no concrete proof that the woman attacked me first.”

A look of fury and shock crossed Caiden’s face.

“Really? This is unacceptable. I’ll have to investigate this properly—this level of misconduct cannot go unchecked!”

Then, looking at Belinda, he sighed.
