Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: You Are Fired

Before anyone could respond, Nolan immediately stepped forward, putting on a professional smile. "Ah, Dr. Clark. It’s nothing serious. Just a minor disagreement between our new doctor and the duty nurse. You don’t need to trouble yourself with something so trivial. I’ll handle it."

The man standing at the doorway was none other than Dr. David Clark, Head of the Oncology Department and one of the clinical directors of Hope Specialized Hospital. Known for his calm demeanor and sharp judgment, Dr. Clark had witnessed countless conflicts during his career. However, tonight’s visit wasn’t by chance. Just as he had been wrapping up his shift, Chairman Edward Miller personally called and asked him to immediately go to Ward 12B to assist someone named Eleanor Raynor, someone the chairman described as "very important."

Though surprised, Dr. Clark took the call seriously. Now, observing the group gathered in the ward, he immediately sensed the underlying tension. Still, he kept his tone level and professional.

"I see. And who are the individuals involved in this... disagreement?"

Dr. Annabelle Gresham stepped forward. "Director, I am the duty doctor here and one of the people involved."

Clark nodded. "Ah, yes. You’re the recruit I interviewed a few days ago, correct? The gold medalist from your graduating batch?"

"Yes, Director," Annabelle replied respectfully.

"Very well. Tell me what happened."

Annabelle explained clearly and concisely, "I started my shift a short while ago. As I entered the ward to check in with the duty nurse, I overheard her speaking rudely to patients. I reminded her of her professional responsibilities and told her I would report her behavior. In response, Nurse Clara Vane called her boyfriend, Dr. Nolan Piers, who arrived and immediately threatened to fire me without listening to any explanation. All the patients here witnessed what happened."

At that moment, Eleanor stepped forward to support her.

"I can confirm everything she said," she said confidently. "Dr. Gresham acted professionally. Nurse Vane was the one causing trouble."

Dr. Clark turned toward her. "And you are?"

"Eleanor Raynor. I’m here to visit a relative who is admitted to this ward."

Clark’s eyebrows twitched slightly. So, this is the woman Chairman Miller asked me to look after. Internally, he sighed in relief. Having located her, resolving the situation became straightforward.

Before he could speak again, Nurse Clara Vane, who was visibly shaken by the direction the conversation was going, rushed to defend herself. "They’re twisting the facts! They ganged up on me! I was the one being bullied. Dr. Piers can confirm it!"

She turned desperately toward Nolan, who was silently fiddling with his phone, trying to call his influential uncle, Director Roland, to intervene.

Dr. Clark looked back at Clara, unimpressed. "Do you have anyone other than Dr. Piers who can support your version of the story?"

Clara went silent. She glanced at the patients, but none of them met her gaze. She knew better than anyone how she’d treated them before.

"I... I don’t," she muttered.

Clark folded his arms, his tone hardening. "Exactly. Dr. Piers is also involved and cannot be considered a neutral party. Dr. Gresham, on the other hand, is new. She just arrived today. Are you telling me she formed some secret alliance with patients she met minutes ago just to frame you?"

Clara shrank under his gaze.

"No one else reported issues with the other nurses who’ve worked this ward. Yet, the moment you are on shift, problems arise. That speaks volumes, Nurse Vane."

He let the silence linger for a beat before continuing firmly. "We built this hospital to become the best in the region. We will not let a few unprofessional staff members damage our reputation. Pack your belongings and leave. An official investigation will be launched, and you’ll be notified in due course."
