Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 67

In the meeting room, Dennis, the dean, and the staff from the hospital's external departments had already arrived.

As soon as Pearl showed up, he stood up and was about to say something. But he suddenly froze when he saw Dr. Wale beside Pearl, "Mr. Wale, why are you here?"

Dr. Wale stood straight next to Pearl with his hands clasped behind his back. "Why? It was related to the reputation of the hospital and my student. Can't I listen to it?"  

"Of course you can." Dennis said awkwardly.

"Ok then." With those words, Dr. Wale took his seat and motioned for Pearl to sit next to him.

There was a big table inside the meeting room. The director and the administrative staff were sitting on one side. Dr. Wale and Pearl were sitting on the other side. The air in the room made it look like a hearing was taking place The only exception was that Pearl had a strong support behind her. No one dared to look down on her.      

As soon as she took her seat, Dennis cut to the chase and said, "Dr. Yonng, Dr. Butler should have told you about the news. You should also know the situation."   

"Yes." Pearl nodded and said.

"It's totally untrue. Our hospital is a well-known medical institution in Kityall City. Our doctors do not push aside others, especially not you. You are a specialist whom we hire from abroad purposely. Don't you think so?"

"Of course." Pearl continued to nod. 

He released a sigh of relief, "That's good. After all, our institution is just a hospital and we have no special ways to affect public opinion. We only hope that Dr.Yonng can cooperate with us and explain everything in a press conference."

Speaking of this, Pearl did not answer immediately.

Beside her, Dr. Wale coughed, "Mr. Simpson, Pearl and I have only been here for less than five minutes. She has not even said much yet, and you already asked her to do you a favor?"

"Please don not mess with us, sir." Dennis's head ached when he heard Dr. Wale. "This matter is related to the reputation of our hospital. The disciplinary committee is watching us."    

Nowadays, the anti-corruption investigation was strict in the country, and Kityall City was the first to be affected. The medical system was originally a kind of public service system, and it was all monitored by the disciplinary committee. With a small sign of trouble, people from the superior department would come down and negotiate with them. Dennis was also worried.   

Dr. Wale said disapprovingly. "Knowing that the disciplinary committee is keeping watch our hospital, Why did you prevent her from regaining her job, are you trying to shame yourself?"  

"That's quite a different matter. That happened before, and in order to let her recover as soon as possible, so she was sent to work temporarily as a medical consultant for the crew. You can ask Dr. Yonng, If you don't believe it."

Dennis looked at Pearl and hoped Pearl could help him. 

Pearl coughed twice, looking as if she was stuck between the two of them. "Mr. Wale, Mr. Simpson is being kind. My injury has nothing to do with the hospital." She said.

"Yes, you should listen to Dr. Yonng. It has nothing to do with the hospital. Isn't it all that crew's fault? Now that they've exposed that actress, Evelina, it's clear that they're just trying to shift the focus. They're throwing the blame onto the hospital. How ridiculous."

"Then do we absolutely have to clarify things?" Dr. Wale asked.

"Of course, why are we taking the blame with no reason?"

"After you clarify clearly, would everyone trust you?"

"I believe that the masses have sharp eyes, as long as Dr. Yonng is willing to cooperate."

Dr. Wale nodded indifferently. He suddenly changed the topic and his gaze turned sharp. "Weren't the rumors about Pearl ridiculous, too? Back then, did you allow Pearl to clarify things?"

Everyone in the meeting room was shocked.

Dennis's face looked so terrible.

In the silence, Dr. Wale took a sip of tea from his cup, as his face was cold. "Mr. Simpson, please treat others as you expect to be treated. I'm pretty sure you understand this, right?"
