Chapter 42 It Is All a Misunderstanding

“Do doctors like you, who have a history of misconduct, only care about accepting gifts? You’re not treating your patients seriously at all!” said the woman.

Adrain looked terribly upset as he asked, “What’s going on, Dr. Sterling? How could you accept gifts from your patient’s family?”

Emily leaned back in her chair, calmly watching the drama unfold before her eyes. She looked up slowly and asked, “How much is that bag of local treats worth?”

The woman was stunned at first, but she immediately shouted, “Three hundred dollars! We’d saved up to buy them for you!”

Emily looked at Adrain and curled her lips into a sneer. She said, “I didn’t accept any gifts, Dr.

Strebelle. I paid for that bag of treats.”

She paused. Then, in a voice that wasn’t loud but enough to echo throughout the room, she said, “Five hundred dollars. And it’s under the patient’s pillow.”

Color drained from that woman’s face. “N–nonsense! It’s not there at all!”

Emily got up and stared right at her face with an icy gaze. “We can find out whether it’s there or not by walking over,” she said, turning around to leave.

Adrain looked upset and caught up to her.

Meanwhile, the woman was left frozen in place, looking ashen.

At last, she still bit the bullet and followed them while the crowd watched.

The doctor and nurses who’d wanted to join in the fun immediately parted to make way for her in the hallway.

The patient was lying in bed in the VIP room, looking lost.

Emily walked up to the bed, sticking a hand under the patient’s pillow. Sure enough, the

money was neatly arranged under the pillow.

The room fell silent. Then, suppressed gasps rang out from the crowd.

The woman’s face turned even paler than before.

Adrain reacted very quickly and immediately started dispersing the crowd. “It’s a

misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. You may leave now. Don’t disturb the patient’s rest,” he said.

Soon, only a few people were left in the ward.

Finally, Emily looked toward the woman, her lips barely holding back a sneer. “You just won’t stop, will you? Do you really think I’d believe you’d give me local treats out of the kindness of your heart?” she softly asked, but her words cut deeper than a knife.

“Forget a setup, even if you were being sincere, I wouldn’t have accepted it anyway,” she added. Then, she simply turned around and left without.

At the end of the hallway, Amelia watched the patient’s wife walk out in defeat with a gleam in her eyes. She walked up to her and whispered, “How useless of you! You weren’t even able to get such a small thing done.”

Cold sweat trickled down the woman’s face as she stammered, “Dr. Sterling is… She’s truly too

smart…”

Amelia was so pissed that her breaths were heavy, and the air around her turned cold.

Suddenly, Gabriel appeared behind her with a dark look on his face. “What are you trying to do? Haven’t you created enough trouble?” he asked.

Amelia was shocked, but she immediately put on a pitiful look. “Gabe, I didn’t… I just came to urge them not to target Dr. Sterling anymore.

“I felt sorry seeing her so tired over the past few days. I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to focus on work. What if any mishaps were to happen again?” Amelia sincerely said, as if she truly were a kind and thoughtful woman.

Gabriel glanced at the patient’s wife and asked, “Is that so?”

The woman was so stunned by Amelia’s acting that she froze for a few seconds. Then, upon realizing Gabriel’s intense gaze on her, she vigorously nodded. “Yes, yes, Ms. Waverly’s right,
