Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 489

"That's right. We need to get to the bottom of this—if someone actually died because of him, then all those accusations about Eric Morris being a fraud would be true. People would never accept that!"

"I say we revoke Eric Morris’s credentials!"

More and more voices echoed similar sentiments online...

By the time this whole mess went viral, it was already late evening.

Meanwhile, Camila Davis was still at the hospital, keeping a close eye on her mentor.

Mr. Morris had been unconscious all day, only coming around as dusk started to settle outside.

Camila hurried over, concern plain on her face. "You’re awake! How are you feeling, sir? Anything hurting?"

Mr. Morris waved her off, trying to sit up, his voice a little raspy. "Just a headache. Nothing I can’t handle. So, tell me—what’s it like out there?"

Even before he blacked out, he could guess that things must be utter chaos by now.

Mr. Morris had weathered plenty of storms in his life, so when he talked about it now, he sounded remarkably calm.

Camila tried to soothe him. “Don’t worry about it, sir. We’re handling things. It’s under control.”

Mr. Morris didn’t buy it. “It’s all over the internet, isn’t it? Let me see.”

Camila hesitated, unsure if it was a good idea to show him.

But Patrick, knowing their mentor’s stubborn streak, handed him an iPad without saying a word.

Camila bit her lip. “Please don’t let those trolls get to you, sir. They don’t know what really happened…”

Mr. Morris didn’t reply, just started scrolling through the trending posts.

After a while, he set the tablet down, his expression clouded, a strange mix of sadness and anger flickering in his eyes.

Camila thought he was upset by the criticism. She rushed to comfort him. “Don’t take what they say to heart—they’re just mindlessly following the crowd…”

Mr. Morris shook his head.

He wasn’t bothered by strangers’ opinions. After all these years, he’d never cared much about what people thought of him.

In his view, those outsiders were just being manipulated by someone with an agenda.

To Mr. Morris, the real villain was the person pulling the strings behind the scenes.
