Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 487

Patrick hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck. “Uh… I’ll have to dig a bit. We’re talking decades ago, you know? Back then, there weren’t all these gadgets tracking everything. No security cameras on every corner. So, yeah, it’s not exactly easy to track down.”

Camila Davis nodded understandingly. “I appreciate it, Patrick. Just do your best to find whatever evidence you can dig up. The sooner we clear Dr. Morris’s name, the better.”

She turned to Kyle Garcia, her tone shifting from gentle to firm. “Kyle, use the med school’s official account. Make a public statement to clear things up and collect evidence on everyone spreading rumors. As for anything else, we’ll wait until Dr. Morris wakes up.”

“On it. I’ll handle it right away,” Kyle replied, already pulling out his phone.

Half an hour later, the medical school’s official account posted a statement online:

**[Regarding today’s incident: The rumors spreading online have caused a serious impact. Multiple media outlets, acting on unverified hearsay, showed up uninvited and, in the chaos, Dr. Morris was pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious. The medical school will be pursuing this matter through the proper legal channels.**

**Furthermore, several reporters have been spreading unfounded accusations and fueling a social media frenzy without a shred of real evidence. We will not tolerate this. The school will be taking legal action, including but not limited to contacting law enforcement and filing lawsuits to defend Dr. Morris’s reputation.**

**Dr. Morris has spent his entire career working miracles in medicine—he’s saved countless lives and helped patients from all walks of life. His good deeds are well-documented. He’s not someone whose reputation can be tarnished by baseless gossip.**

**Social media isn’t a lawless wasteland. We ask everyone to stay rational and not turn their backs on someone who has given so much to our society. Dr. Morris has nothing to be ashamed of—if anything, some people owe him an apology!**]

The statement set the internet ablaze.

“The med school’s really laying down the law this time! I’m with them 100%!”

“Same here. If Dr. Morris was really guilty, the school would’ve gone radio silent by now. He’s definitely being set up.”

“Those rumors were always sketchy. No one’s shown any evidence. People just love to jump on the bandwagon.”

“I trust Dr. Morris. He’s always been a true healer. There’s no way he’d do anything like what they’re saying.”

“Seriously, the guy’s a legend in medicine. He doesn’t need to scam anyone for money or fame—patients literally line up for a chance to see him.”

“Exactly! Anyone who says he’s just after attention clearly doesn’t know his track record. Open your eyes, people!”

“Are you saying the government’s blind too? If he was that bad, they never would’ve had him lead national research projects.”

“Hey, where’s this supposed ‘insider’ with all the proof? Let’s see it!”

“Right away!” Patrick replied, equally outraged after seeing the video. He hurried off to make the call.

Within thirty minutes, police officers arrived, took statements, and collected the footage. The incident had caught the attention of the higher-ups, and the precinct was under pressure to handle it quickly. The police chief even called Camila personally to reassure her.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Davis. We’ll clear Dr. Morris’s name and make sure the culprit is brought to justice.”

With the heat on, the investigation moved fast. In less than two hours, the reporter who’d shoved Dr. Morris was identified and taken into custody.

Meanwhile, across town, Dennis Williams was giving Aaron instructions. “I want every negative post about Dr. Morris taken down. I don’t want this mess blowing up any further, got it?”

And so, with evidence emerging and allies rallying behind Dr. Morris, the tides of public opinion began to turn. But for Camila and those who truly cared for the old doctor, the fight was far from over.
