Chapter 400
The moment Liam Scott heard this voice, his body immediately stiffened.
This was the voice of… the Hospital Director?
The blood in his body turned cold as he turned his head stiffly and saw the furious Hospital Director Gerard Williams and Dr. Rodney Stanton standing behind him with an ominous expression.
Liam stammered, “D-Director… Weren’t you guys in a meeting? When did you arrive?”
Gerard strode over and said with a scornful snort, “I arrived just before you changed your attitude. I wanted to give you a chance to prove yourself, but I didn’t expect you to be so two-faced when I wasn’t around! Liam, just look at yourself. Are you still qualified to be our hospital’s deputy director?”
Liam’s legs went weak and he almost collapsed.
He tried his best to calm his breathing and hurriedly explained, “Director, please let me explain. I was too anxious earlier. But I’m doing this for the sake of our hospital!”
Gerard’s face was full of mockery. “For our hospital?”
Liam nodded repeatedly and said, “That’s right! Firing Dan is a small matter. If news of Dan’s matter gets out, will patients still trust our Central Hospital in the future?”
“Hmph!” Gerard gave a disdainful laugh and said, “Liam Scott, am I that stupid in your mind?”
Liam was taken aback and quickly replied, “Of course, would never think that way! You’re the director…”
Gerard raised his voice and said in a threatening tone, “So you still remember that I’m the hospital director! Even if we put aside the other matters and assume that you really did it for the sake of the hospital’s reputation, what about the matter of you threatening Miss Fox and not letting her relatives seek treatment in this hospital? Liam, do you think you can treat others as fools as long as they don’t blow their tops?”
Liam’s mind was racing. For the sake of his own deputy director’s position, he decided to give up on Dan.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Director, I know my mistake now. I said those words out of anger. Now, I regret it so much! It’s just terminating Dan Maxwell, isn’t it? Since you also think that he should be fired, naturally I agree with you wholeheartedly! As for Miss Fox, I’m willing to apologize to her!”
Dan, who was still sitting on the ground, felt his heart tighten. “Uncle, you must help me!”
After hearing Liam’s words earlier, Dan was already convinced that the ugly woman in front of him was the miracle doctor, Melody Fox.
Before he could fully digest this news, his uncle had already abandoned him. How could he accept this?
“Shut up! Pack your things now and get lost!” As Liam spoke, he completely ignored Dan’s pleas.
He could not even protect himself now. He then turned around and bowed deeply to Melody.
“Miss Fox, I spoke in a fit of anger earlier, Please don’t take it to heart. You’re a magnanimous person. You’ll definitely forgive me, won’t you?”
Melody smiled indifferently and said, “I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not a magnanimous person. I’m just an ordinary and petty girl.”
Liam’s face stiffened. He never thought that Melody would be so unrelenting. “Then what do you wish to…”
Melody’s gaze landed on Gerard.
“Director Williams, all I want is for Dan to never appear in this hospital again, lest he harms other patients. As for the rest, it’s your hospital’s internal affairs. I don’t have the right to interfere. I’ll leave you to decide the rest.”
Gerard nodded and said with a stern expression, “Dan, you clearly know the hospital’s rules, yet you deliberately broke them. For your own benefit, you almost harmed the patient. This was a serious case of medical malpractice, and your medical ethics were completely lost. From today onward, you are no longer a doctor in our hospital. Moreover, our hospital will issue a statement saying that we will never hire you again!”
Dan was about to get up from the floor when he heard this. His legs gave way and he fell to the floor again. “A s- statement?”
Once the hospital issued a statement, it meant that not only would he lose his job here, but no other hospital would hire a tainted employee like him.
His career as a doctor would come to an end!
Gerard said with an icy expression, “That’s right! A statement to the entire hospital and society! I hope you can remember this lesson and turn over a new leaf in the future!”
When Dan heard this, his heart could no longer withstand such a heavy blow. Everything turned black before his eyes and he fainted at once.
When Gerard saw this, there was still no pity in his eyes. He gestured with his hand and said, “Take him away. When he wakes up. tell him to pack up and leave immediately!”
“Yes, Sir!” The medical staff did not dare to object and dragged Dan away at once.
When Liam saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
Now that Dan had been dealt with it, this matter should come to a close, shouldn’t it?
However, just as this thought popped up, he heard Gerard’s voice again.
“Liam, you colluded with Dan and abused your position as the deputy director to threaten others. You have seriously violated the hospital’s management regulations!
“Furthermore, I found out that Dan wasn’t qualified to work as a doctor at all. You were the one who recruited him
through your own connections.
“These acts showed that you are not qualified to be the hospital’s deputy director. Therefore, I have decided to demote you and send you back to the administrative department!
“If you don’t repent your mistakes after you return to the administrative department, you will end up like Dan Maxwell!”
“Re-return to the administrative department…”
This was equivalent to being demoted to the bottom rank. It was no different from firing him.
Liam’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground on his butt.
Gerard continued without any emotion, “You don’t have to come to work this week. You can come back after I’ve determined which department you’ll be transferred to. You should reflect on yourself while you’re at home during this period!”
After Gerard finished speaking, he gestured with his hand and instructed the security guards to escort Liam away.
Liam was holding back his anger, but he did not dare to vent it in front of Gerard. He only gritted his teeth and said, “I can walk by myself!”
He pushed aside the security guard in front of him and headed toward the elevator.
As soon as Liam left, Gerard immediately put on a smile.
“Melody, are you satisfied with the way I handled this matter?”
Melody nodded. “We are very impressed and grateful. You have handled this matter fairly!”
Colin also nodded. “Director Williams, with someone like you keeping an eye on Central Hospital, patients and their families can seek treatment for their illnesses here without worry.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just doing my job.” While Gerard was speaking, his smile widened as he looked at Melody.
“Since both of you are quite satisfied with the way I handled the matter, then Melody… regarding the job offer…”
Melody was hesitant initially, but Gerard was very much to her liking. In addition, joining Central Hospital would indeed help her to grow professionally. She thus said, “If it’s convenient for you, I can join your hospital today. However, I can’t change my terms. I don’t have time to work the full shift. Also, I wish to join the hospital under the name Wilona Knowles.”
“No problem! I’ll settle the employment documents for you now!”
Although Gerard did not understand why Melody did not want to use her real name, he still accepted her terms immediately.
