Chapter 32: Chapter 32: The Prodigy of the Medical World
She casually flipped through the documents in front of her, seemingly indifferent as she made the remark.
The speaker seemed to be speaking without much thought, but the listener took it to heart for sure.
“Joy, how can we compare to Doctor Williams? After all, to get into the hospital, one must rely on quite a few connections, right? And it’s only normal to be on good terms with the director, right, Doctor Williams?” Valentina River and Joy Ward played off each other, their insinuations couldn’t be more obvious.
“Heh.”
Hope Williams’ fingers paused as she turned the page, and she raised her head slowly, her elbows propped on the desk, ten slender, jade-like fingers cradling her chin as she let out a cold laugh.
“So, Doctor River, you’re implying that Director Woods has taken my bribe?” Hope Williams paused, “Everyone heard that, right? Make sure you convey Doctor Ward’s and Doctor River’s words accurately to the director.”
“You!” Valentina slapped the table and stood up, her expression shattering immediately, unable to hide her panic, “When did I say Director Woods took a bribe? Hope Williams, you’re slandering me!”
“We all heard it,” Aurora Wood testified, raising her hand.
“You two are in cahoots!”
“Uh-huh?” Hope Williams still wore a smile, calm and composed, “Then you ask the others, ask the surveillance.”
Before Valentina River could finish, Joy Ward frowned and tugged at her, still smiling, “Let’s not mind that. On behalf of Doctor River, I apologize to Doctor Williams. It’s just that Doctor Williams’ high school diploma being sufficient to get into the hospital is indeed a sensation. Doctor River meant no offense; sorry, Doctor Williams, she didn’t mean to doubt the director.”
She didn’t mean to doubt the director, but she did doubt me.
Look at that, look, this is how you talk. With just a few words, she’s cleared herself of offending those above her and managed to bite back at Hope Williams.
And yet she still maintains an innocent, fragile demeanor of nobly apologizing on behalf of others.
When it comes to acting, Joy Ward is undoubtedly the champion of pretense.@@novelbin@@
“That’s right, a person of dubious character, at such a young age seducing men, pretending to be all high and mighty…”
At this moment, Director Woods and Benjamin Myers, who were at the conference hall entrance, frowned as they listened to the exchange between the few.
“Stop arguing, you over there, the director is here!” someone shouted.
Valentina River glared at Hope Williams and whispered a threat, “Hope Williams, this isn’t over.”
Director Woods set down the files in his hands heavily, sweeping an unhappy glance in the direction of Joy Ward and her company.
For a moment, Director Woods didn’t speak, and everyone exchanged glances, silence filling the air, tense and ominous.
Director Woods put on his reading glasses and flipped through the documents in front of him, his expression still grave.
“Some doctors in our hospital, instead of working, don’t forget to belittle their colleagues. Do you all have nothing to do?” Director Woods’s voice was heavy.
“Did you hear that, Hope Williams? Director Woods is looking at you, talking about you,” Valentina said, arrogantly, the epitome of ‘if I don’t think he’s talking about me, then it must be someone else.’
Hope Williams couldn’t be bothered with her.
After the director gave a few words of reprimand, many people’s attention still focused on Benjamin Myers beside him.
The man’s exceptionally handsome face, cool demeanor, and a gentle, jade-like temperament naturally attracted the eyes of many young female doctors.
“Director, who is this?”
“Almost forgot to introduce him,” Director Woods returned to the matter at hand, solemnly, “This is Benjamin Myers, Doctor Mye—”
Before Director Woods could finish speaking, a buzz rose below.
Someone exclaimed, “You are the neurosurgery expert with the undefeated legend in neurosurgical operations, Doctor Benjamin Myers?”
Benjamin Myers simply lifted the corners of his cool, thin lips into a slight arc, nodding slightly, his voice soothing, “Yes, I am.”
“My goodness!” Another uproar almost lifted the roof, “It’s really you, you’re absolutely my idol, I’ve dreamed of learning from you.”
“And me, me too.”
Several doctors stood up excitedly.
A few neurosurgery chiefs immediately consulted Benjamin Myers on some issues, and he spoke calmly, eloquently discussing the tricky questions fluidly.
The chiefs couldn’t help but applaud, “Worthy of being the pride of the medical community, we’ve learned a lot.”
“Yes, these few problems have plagued me for a long time, I didn’t expect Doctor Myers to solve them in just a few words, I need to rush back and continue research following your line of thinking immediately.”
Benjamin Myers humbly nodded his head slightly, his consistently gentle face adorned with a soft smile, “You flatter me, seniors.”
“Joy, the new doctor is so handsome!” Valentina River, looking at Benjamin Myers’ face, was infatuated and overexcited. The next moment, she saw Benjamin Myers’ gaze cast in her direction.
A shiver went through Valentina River’s heart, as the man started striding toward them.
Enthralled, Valentina tugged at Joy Ward’s clothes, “Joy, look, I just noticed Doctor Myers has been looking at you, and now he’s walking towards you. Joy, do you know Doctor Myers?”
Joy Ward blinked and looked up to see the man walking unhurriedly, straight towards her. She sat up nervously, pursed her lips, and shook her head, “It’s also my first time seeing Doctor Myers.”
“Joy, could it be love at first sight from Doctor Myers? He might be coming over to ask for your contact information. Here he comes, he’s coming over.”
Hearing this, Joy laughed shyly, immediately adopting a modest demeanor, yet her heart burst with joy. If she could captivate him at first glance, it would certainly be something to boast about. Feigning coyness, Joy teased Valentina River, “Valentina, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Am I? Joy, you’re gorgeous and skilled in medicine; any man would fall for you at first sight,” Valentina River flattered as usual, with reckless abandon.
Even though she knew it was just flattery, Joy Ward still very much enjoyed it.
What do you think?
