Joe Wright quietly squeezed her finger, signaling her not to give up, and then pretended not to say: “The medical advice says that Keira must keep a happy mood. keira have any wishes, say it, daddy will meet you.”
Father and daughter’s eyes met in mid-air, Keira immediately understood: “I want … to play with that dad for a while.”
After saying that, and afraid of Joe Wright upset, hastily added a sentence: “Both dads play with me!”
“Good boy.” Joe Wright rubbed the top of her head.
Master Wright was still stone-faced, looking dismissive of their little tricks, but he had a plan in mind.
“Let him in, and he must be gone by dinner.”
Master Wright ordered in a quiet voice, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Keira was back at the Wright Family, no longer in constant need of care, and Emma Richard finally had time to do her own thing.
When she returned to the hospital after taking many days off from her internship, she was quite comfortable with her work, but her fellow interns seemed to have a grudge against her.
“On the basis of family connections, you can come and go whenever you want, and push all the work to us, it’s disgusting!”
“We can’t help it, we’re poor.”
“You can’t say that, she has a medical patent, right?”
“Maybe she paid for it too!”
The female colleagues, who were so jealous, did not avoid Emma Richard and deliberately raised their voices at the end.
Emma Richard listened to them, but did not take them seriously.
It is true that her sudden leave of absence will cause problems for her colleagues, and it is reasonable to be complained about. As for the so-called family history, she cares even less.
In the midst of criticism and ostracism, she focused on her own work, and finished everything in order, and only when the lunch break was about to end did she finally remember that she was about to be hungry.
Just as she was about to change for lunch, there was a knock on the duty room door, and Kenny Clarke’s clear voice rang through the door.
“Is Dr. Richard there?”
“Mr. Clarke?”
Emma Richard hurriedly invited him in, and when she saw that he was holding an exquisitely wrapped lunch box, her eyes smiled into a crescent moon shape: “Is it for me?”
“Of course.” Kenny Clarke handed over the lunch box and gestured for her to sit at the table and take her time to eat: “I heard that Dr. Richard was back today, so I prepared a special nutritious meal for you, and I wanted to wait for you in the hospital dining room, but after waiting for a long time, I didn’t see anyone, so I had to come here.”
Emma Richard opened her lunch box and exclaimed, sitting down and shaking her head as she ate: “Don’t tease me, call me by my first name, ‘Dr. Richard’ sounds too awkward.”
Kenny Clarke smiles gently and asks if she’s getting used to working again.
“Everything’s fine.”
Kenny Clarke looked at her suspiciously, slightly nervous: “Was the food not good?”
“Oh? No …” Emma Richard froze, responded and hastily waved her hand, smiling apologetically, “It’s just that I just had a few questions for Senior Clarke. stomach cancer patient in bed 24. ”
Kenny Clarke, the doctor in charge of this ward, also had an impression of the patient Emma Richard was talking about and nodded, “Here’s the deal, let me tell you what I think while you eat and listen.”
The two focused on the clinical aspects of the discussion, but did not notice that a cell phone quietly recorded the scene.
By late afternoon, the office was empty, and Emma Richard played with the task at hand before turning off the lights and heading downstairs.
The hospital lobby was always lit up, and she stepped off the elevator and caught a glimpse of Joe Wright and Keira waiting in the lounge area.
“Mom!”
Keira spotted her, too, and bounced over with her arms wide open.
“Slow down, wait for mommy to get there.” Keira is not yet able to exercise vigorously, so Emma Richard is afraid she will get hurt, so she takes a few quick steps to pick her up and rubs her nose with her affectionately.
Joe Wright came along and scowled at Keira: “So, I told you your mom would come down this elevator, right?”
“You’re cheating! You know where Mom’s office is, so of course you’re right!” Keira threw her arms around Emma Richard’s neck and pouted that she was being bullied by her father.
After a long day of work, it was as if all her fatigue had been lifted when she saw her daughter smiling and happy.
That night, a photo of Emma Richard and Kenny Clarke “meeting” in the duty room and Joe Wright leaving work with their daughter was posted on the hospital’s internal website, setting off an explosion of discussion.
In just one night, the news of Emma Richard between two men was uploaded on the hospital’s website, and she was invited to the personnel department the next morning.
The head of the personnel department turned the computer screen to her and pointed to some photos in it, with a serious face: “Emma Richard, you should have heard about the current rumors about you in the hospital, right?”
To be honest, Emma Richard had just returned to work and was preoccupied with her work. If she hadn’t seen the smug faces of her colleagues at work this morning, and felt the disdainful and inquisitive looks from other doctors, she wouldn’t have realized that she was in the middle of a public storm.
When she logged on to the website and saw the article that distorted the facts, she was furious and also deeply aggrieved.
She had experienced the feeling of being wrongly accused and hurt when she had done nothing wrong, and it had grown into a thorn in her heart that she would never forget.
So this time, whether others believe it or not, she must maintain her own innocence.
“Joe Wright is my grandfather’s adopted child, my brother, and Dr. Clarke is both a mentor and a friend to me, and the relationship between the three of us is pure, not at all like the article suggests.
Emma Richard’s posture was straight, her jaw slightly raised, and her voice was loud and emphatic: “I hope the hospital leadership will find out the truth and find the person who maliciously framed me and Dr. Clarke!”
The head of the personnel department looked at her for a moment, then averted his gaze and cleared his throat in an official manner.
“How the truth is, and can not listen to all of you alone. I’ll tell you what, you go home and rest for three days, and the hospital will consider your disciplinary action at its discretion.”
Discipline?
Based on a gibberish article with a few photos of deliberate angles, without even investigating, they are going to convict her?
“Director, this is not a fair treatment, we were falsely accused, if we accept the disciplinary action, isn’t it the same as admitting the allegations in the article?”
Suddenly thinking of Kenny Clarke, she continued, “Dr. Clarke is a high-end talent who returned from studying abroad and has made many contributions to the hospital, the hospital should at least give him the trust he deserves.”
The personnel director looked up: “Doctors are in the business of saving lives and helping people, and they must have excellent skills as well as moral character. Now you two scandals are extremely bad, the hospital is doing this for the greater good.”
