Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 23

As expected of General Snider, he would always make his speech sound indecent. She gave up on probing him for the truth, believing that time would reveal the answer.

“Why didn’t you call me the first thing when the incident happened?”

“Haha… Sharon and I have been at each other’s throats for so many years. If I can’t even tackle a small problem like this, then wouldn’t it be a shame that she had addressed me as her sister?”

Even if Matt did not show up, she would have been able to sort out the problem perfectly. She was never one to trouble people with her problems.

“But you are my wife, and I would never let you bear any sort of humiliation. I’m the only person who can bully you!”

Winona felt a sense of warmth seeping into her heart. Even though he was an arrogant person, she would still sometimes find him to be quite adorable.

“From tomorrow onwards, you won’t be coming here to work anymore. You’ll be my personal doctor instead.”

Winona opposed his idea instantly, “That won’t do. I will never be a woman who has to rely on men.”

She wanted to be a strong and independent woman. Someone worthy enough to stand beside him to face any obstacles or hardships.

Matt compromised as he looked at her putting up an unyielding yet adorable front. He made a call to the hospital and said, “Mrs. Stanley, I can accept your requests, but you must first cut off a few people’s tongues for me.”

“You called Mr. Stanley’s wife?”

Matt smirked smugly, “She was begging for my help.”

Winona finally understood the situation then. It explained why the news of her being framed in the hospital got to him at such lightning speed—it was the work of Mrs. Stanley.

The next day when she arrived at the hospital, Winona was notified that she got promoted as the chief of the thoracic surgery department. The one who told her of this news was none other than Mrs. Stanley, who was also the newly promoted director of the hospital starting that day.

“You have performed the highest number of thoracic surgeries and you are also the surgeon with the highest achievements. You deserve this position.”

Winona responded with a slight smile. She never expected to land so easily on her dream job position that she had worked hard for years. But deep down inside, she knew that this was made possible largely because of Matt.

She shook hands with Mrs. Stanley.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already demoted the person who framed you, Yvonne, to a janitor. It’s only reasonable to let someone like her clean toilet bowls,” said Mrs. Stanley.

Winona knew that Mrs. Stanley and Mr. Stanley were at odds with each other. Seeing how she dealt with Yvonne, Mr. Stanley would surely not end up being any better. Winona had a deep respect for Mrs. Stanley’s high EQ as she knew how to observe and analyze every turn of events. But most importantly, she clearly understood when to strike her opponent at her best opportunity. Winona sighed as she thought, “One should never get on a woman’s bad side, or they will bite you into shreds and pieces until you meet your end.”

When Winona walked out of the office, she overheard two nurses from the gynecology department gossiping.

“How pitiful is that lady? She just had an abortion but no one from her family would come and visit her. Instead, they called her again and again just to bite her head off.”

“Well, don’t you see? It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for those who get married into a rich family. Since she was willing to make this decision, she would have to bear the consequences of it.”

Winona knew they were talking about Sharon, but she did not feel a tad bit sorry for her. The girl got what she deserved.

Just when Winona was about to step into the operating room, someone tugged at her arm. She turned around and saw Christopher’s face that displayed a disgusting fawn.

“Winona, Sharon will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Come home so we can have a meal together, remember to bring General Snider along too.”

Winona laughed sardonically, “I know what you really want is to have Matt on your side so you can climb up the ladder. I’m terribly sorry, but I’m not going to offer to you the ladder.”
