Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: A Boyfriend’s Rage

While Dr. Annabelle Gresham and Nurse Clara Vane were exchanging heated words, Eleanor discreetly pulled out her phone and typed a quick message to Teresa:

"I’m at Hope Specialized Hospital. Ward 12B. A nurse is causing trouble. Contact the hospital’s owner and send someone with authority."

She intentionally angled the phone so Freya could read the message over her shoulder. When she saw the little girl’s curious eyes scanning the screen, a faint smile tugged at her lips. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

A reply came almost instantly.

"Okay," Teresa wrote.

A couple of minutes passed before another message buzzed in.

"The hospital is under the Miller Group. I’ve contacted Edward Miller... he’ll send someone right away. Do you want me to come?"

Eleanor responded with a single line:

"No. It’s a minor issue. Stay focused on your work."

Sliding the phone back into her coat pocket, Eleanor’s gaze shifted to Clara Vane, who was now glaring daggers at the young doctor. If looks could kill, Dr. Annabelle would have been incinerated on the spot.

Suddenly, the door to the ward burst open with a loud bang. A tall, muscular man in a doctor’s uniform stormed in, radiating aggression. He looked more like a professional wrestler than a medical professional.

"Who’s bullying my Clara?" he barked, scanning the room.

Clara, who moments ago had been scowling at Annabelle, instantly shifted gears. Tears welled in her eyes as she ran to the newcomer and threw her arms around his chest, sobbing dramatically.

"They were bullying me!" she wailed, pointing first at Annabelle, then at Eleanor. "That doctor said she would report me to the higher-ups! I didn’t do anything. They ganged up on me and are falsely accusing me. Please save me."

The man’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Annabelle coldly. "I haven’t seen you before. Are you a new recruit?"

"Yes, Doctor. Today is my first day at this hospital," Annabelle replied, standing tall despite the tension.

The man scoffed. "Your first day, and you’re already picking fights with my girlfriend? You must be really bold. Do you even know who I am? I’m Dr. Nolan Piers, Consultant and the head of this entire floor. Clara reports directly to me. You report to me."

"I understand that you’re my senior," Annabelle said calmly, though her voice trembled slightly. "But this is a case of serious professional misconduct. You’re defending your girlfriend without knowing the facts. Every patient here saw what happened. I suggest you speak to them or review the surveillance footage before making assumptions."

Nolan laughed, his deep voice echoing off the sterile walls. "You really are new. There’s no surveillance inside patient wards... basic privacy protocol. And yet you still insist on reporting Clara, even after I, your senior, am supporting her? Fine. Let me make this simple for you. Pack your things. Today is your last day. You’re fired."

Annabelle’s spine straightened. Her voice, though soft, rang with quiet determination. "You can’t fire me on the spot without an investigation. I’m within my rights to report misconduct. I’ve sworn an oath to protect my patients, and I’ll uphold it. Even if I can’t work here, I can work somewhere else. My degree wasn’t handed to me... I earned it."
