Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 9

Sean shot them a cold glare, his tone sharp as he spoke. "I'm her attending physician. My duty is to protect my patient from any harm. If all of you don't leave right now, I'm calling security."

The people around shivered under his icy stare. They exchanged uneasy glances before muttering curses as they slowly dispersed.

"He thinks he's so great."

"Seeing how protective he is, I bet the news is true. There's no smoke without fire, after all!"

The hallway was peaceful again at last.

Standing by the door, Sean listened to their voices fade into the distance, his face dark as night.

He pushed the door open, approached the bedside, and said in a soft voice, "Cecilia, it's okay now. Don't be afraid."

The covers were then slowly lifted.

Sean tenderly wiped away Cecilia's tears.

She looked up, her red eyes full of hurt.

She spoke in a trembling voice, "Sean, why did they say those things about me? Do I… deserve to die?"

Sean's heart ached. He looked at her vulnerable, helpless expression, then remembered Annie's icy, hostile face. Anger flared up inside him once more.

He believed that Cecilia was kind and did nothing wrong, yet she had to endure baseless accusations and insults, all because of Annie's reckless and selfish behavior.

He comforted her in a gentle voice. "Don't say that. I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you."

Sean held her hand, his expression growing serious.

"The hospital has suspended me. I'll find another capable doctor to take over your care. You just focus on resting and recovering."

Cecilia's face instantly drained of color when he said that.

Sean was being suspended? That wouldn't do!

Cecilia began to panic.

She didn't trust any other doctor. Apart from Sean, who in the world would risk everything to keep her alive?

Without him, would that so-called volunteer from a neighboring city even donate?

Cecilia grabbed Sean's wrist with astonishing strength, her eyes wide with terror.
