From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1071: 496 Lie_3 Chapter 1071: 496 Lie_3 The recent package was a diversion.

“I’ve just heard from Xiaoxiao.

She said she had nothing to do with the patient and just happened to come across her and brought her in.

Her statement is suspicious, and she might be responsible for injuring the person.

She’s afraid of taking the blame.

We can’t end up being the ones to carry the can for her.”

An enigmatic smile finally made its way onto Seraphine Moore’s face, but it was fleeting.

Worry etched into her features, she said, “Although that’s what she says, I’m afraid she won’t just let it go.”

“Why are you afraid?

...

As long as Vivian Hayes believes what we say, we’ll be fine.

There aren’t many of us on-shift tonight.

The four of us should be able to handle it, right?”

Everyone is afraid of taking the blame.

If they could push the responsibility onto someone else, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Seraphine glanced at the security camera in the corner, her expression murky.

After the surgery, Vivian Hayes was taken to the ward.

When Seraphine left the operating room, she immediately spotted a young girl sitting on the long bench.

The girl stood up when she saw her.

“Doctor, how’s she doing?”

Seraphine sighed, “Has her family not arrived yet?

I’m sorry, but I can only disclose the patient’s medical condition to her family.”

Aubree Groove nodded, “I just want to know if there were any issues with the surgery.”

“Are you questioning my capability?” Seraphine’s eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.

Another doctor, who had also just left the operating room, said, “Lady, you may not know this, but Dr.

Moore here is the backbone of our department.

She’s one of the director’s assistants and incredibly competent.

A surgery performed by her would not have any issues.

It’s just that the situation of the pregnant woman was extremely critical and she was brought in too late.

It’s a pity…

Aubree’s gaze hardened as she abruptly turned towards Seraphine.

Seraphine only felt a shiver down her spine, her neck felt cold, as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat.

“What…

Why are you looking at me like that?

You guys brought her in and I did my best!”

“Did you remove her uterus?”

Seraphine felt as if the girl’s gaze had seen right through her, as if x-raying her inside out – a sense of inescapable embarrassment.

Without giving much thought to how the girl knew, Seraphine instinctively retorted, “Her uterus could have been preserved.

You guys brought her in too late, I did everything could.”

Aubree narrowed her eyes.

Seraphine felt increasingly suffocated in the long silence that followed.

Unable to bear it any longer, she quickly left.

Though Raquel Webb was glad that Vivian Hayes got her just desserts, she was still afraid it might bring trouble to Aubree.

Instinctively, she said, “I hope Vivian Hayes comes to her senses and doesn’t blame you for this.”

Being a woman, she knew what losing a uterus meant to a woman.

With Vivian Hayes’s temper, she would definitely vent her anger on Aubree.

Aubree’s face held a frosty demeanor, she calmly said, “She was lying.”

Raquel Webb was stunned, “Huh?”

It was only after she processed it she realized Aubree was talking about what the doctor had said earlier.

“Why would she lie?”

“In the case of ectopic pregnancy, there is no need to remove the uterus.

The doctor just needs to perform surgery and remove the ruptured gestational sac.”

Considering Vivian Hayes’ condition en-route to the hospital, Aubree had already administered first aid to stop the bleeding.

There was no need to take the step of removing the uterus.

Raquel Webb unconditionally believed Aubree and said in anger, “Doctors are playing with their responsibilities and they want you to take the blame.

Is there no justice left in the world?”

Given Vivian Hayes’s status, if this escalates, it could cause significant trouble for Aubree.

Aubree considered for a moment.

“Let’s approach the hospital management and request the surveillance footage from the operating room.”

That was the only solution at the moment.

However, if Aubree thought of it, the other party would definitely have thought of it too, and would have tampered with the surveillance footage long before they asked for it.

If they wait for Vivian Hayes to wake up while the doctors continue to spread lies, it would complicate the situation even more.

Aubree didn’t care about how much mud others slung at her.

It’s just that as a doctor, they shouldn’t have lied.

Once they start lying, there was the potential for many patients to be hurt in the future.

Rightly so, Raquel Webb was rejected by the hospital, and they even impatiently shooed her away.

Seraphine walked into the surveillance room with late-night snacks, “Brother, you’ve had a hard day.

Here are some late-night snacks for you.

Eat them while they’re still hot.”

The man accepted the snacks, and took the opportunity to touch her hand.

It was so soft, her skin was like jelly, so smooth.

“Rest assured, Dr.

Moore, no one will find out.

You can relax.”

Suppressing her disgust, Seraphine cracked a smile, “Thank you for your help.”

Finally managing to escape from him, Seraphine bolted out of the surveillance room.

She took a deep breath.

Seraphine took out her phone and located a recent addition in her chatbox.

The individual’s avatar was a picture of a cloud, which resembled snow upon closer inspection.

It was vague and cold, perfectly reflecting the individual – always elusive and distant.

Seraphine typed out a message in the text box: Happy New Year, Brother!

After hesitating for a while, she sent it.

Just then, fireworks burst into the sky, beautiful and splendid.

The new year had arrived.

She definitely had to stay in the hospital and aim to be as outstanding as, if not more than him.

——

A coat was draped over Aubree’s shoulders, and warmth quickly spread through her.

When Aubree turned around, she was met with the handsome and profound features of a young man.

His intense gaze was like the abyss, making people unintentionally end up falling for him.

He smiled and said, “Happy New Year.”
