Charles was left completely bewildered after Chandler’s call.
He only had a vague idea—it seemed to be about Zinnia.
“Mr. Morrison, the CEO rushed to our Harbor Town branch last night to handle an emergency project. He just stepped out of a meeting.”
“What did you say?”
Chandler was stunned. “He went all the way to Harbor Town in the middle of the night? Seriously, is he out of his mind?”
He distinctly remembered telling him last night that Zinnia was in serious trouble. And instead of doing anything about it, he ran off to Harbor Town?
“Exactly.”
Charles blurted out in agreement. Honestly, he thought his boss was losing it—and not just a little.
“Mr. Morrison, is Mrs. Ford the one in trouble?”
“Go tell Landon his wife is currently facing a medical review panel. She could lose her job. Tell him to get back here—now.”
Before Charles could say a word, Chandler hung up.
Charles stared at his phone in disbelief.
He remembered the message Yvonne had sent him on WhatsApp and hurriedly opened it.
It was a link to a livestream.
At that moment, the stream was broadcasting the medical review of Dr. Zinnia’s emergency surgery on Xander—the night she’d performed the aortic dissection repair.
The camera was trained directly on the surgical footage from that night, while a panel of medical experts analyzed every detail.
The atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Of course, Noelle’s fans chimed in with doubts.
[Yeah right, if she’s that good, why is she still a junior attending?]
[Are you all her paid shills or what?]
[Replying to the one above: The hospital’s promotion system has time requirements, genius. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, maybe sit this one out?]
[I looked up Zinnia’s published papers. Ever heard of SCI journals? Med students dream of getting one—she’s got several. Do your homework before you embarrass yourself.]
[Ignorance isn’t a crime, but maybe spare us the nonsense, internet queen.]
Noelle stared at the comments, her once smug smile slowly fading into a scowl.
Before the livestream, public opinion had been overwhelmingly on her side. Now, apart from a handful of loyal fans and some paid trolls, the tide was turning—more and more people were siding with Zinnia.
