The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius novel Chapter 44

The coldness in Gabriel's eyes made Amelia shiver, but she still bit the bullet and finished her act. "Don't be mad at Dr. Sterling, Gabe. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come and interrupted you guys," she said before leaving, even looking back every few steps she took.

After she left, the silence in the office was deafening.

Gabriel looked at Emily and saw that she had no expression at all. At last, he tugged at his tie in annoyance and left without saying anything.

As soon as he left, the nurses' station at the department of cardiothoracic surgery went wild.

"Did you guys see it? Mr. Holdon trapped Dr. Sterling in her office. And that position…"

"Ms. Waverly was on the brink of crying. She just witnessed her boyfriend doing that with another woman. What a poor thing."

"You're right. Emily looked like a decent person. I didn't think she was so promiscuous."

An icy voice interrupted them, asking, "Who did you say was promiscuous?" Mallory was holding a medical record, standing behind them with a frosty expression.

The nurses were so frightened that their faces turned a little pale.

One of them had been with Amelia when Gabriel and Emily were "caught in the act," so she was a little bolder. "It's true, Dr. Prescott. We saw it with our own eyes."

"That's right. The office door was shut. If we hadn't bust the door open, who would've known what could've happened inside?"

Mallory laughed out of anger. "You guys filled in the details yourself and made up a whole story. Even screenwriters have got nothing on you. Are you medical professionals or paparazzi?" she asked.

She was blunt, but the nurses refused to back down. Instead, they raised their voices and continued speaking.

"You're friends with Emily. Of course you'd take her side!"

"It's true! So many people saw it!"

The commotion drew in more and more curious onlookers.

The nurses' confidence in their assumption frustrated Mallory so much that she was tempted to reveal Emily and Gabriel's relationship.

Still, she held herself back. After all, Emily should be the one to reveal her relationship with Gabriel.
