Chapter 118 Accusations

“Nella, Patrick’s surgery was performed by you personally. You also followed up on his condition every single day. Everything was fine. How could something like this suddenly happen?”

The one speaking was Patrick and Zoey’s father, Norris Mack.

“Mr. Mack, Patrick suffered an acute intracardiac thrombus. This is a postoperative complication. There are multiple possible causes. Once I determine the exact reason tomorrow, I’ll inform you immediately.”

“So what you’re saying is, my son ended up in such a dangerous situation, and you, as his attending physician, can’t even figure out the cause?”

A sharp female voice rang out from behind Norris, the tone forceful and accusatory.

Nella looked up. It was Zoey’s mother, Eileen Mack.

The hostility in Eileen’s tone was unmistakable.

In fact, ever since Nella first met the Macks at the Keywood Estate, she’d noticed that Eileen always looked at her with a subtle, lingering animosity.

She would even deliberately joke about Zoey and Alfred together in front of the Keywoods.

“Nella, we trusted you with our son’s life. But after something this dangerous happened tonight,

you

think a few casual words are enough to brush us off?”

Despite Eileen’s aggressive tone, Nella patiently explained, “Mrs. Mack, postoperative complications are fairly common. However, it’s difficult to determine the exact cause at night. Once I investigate tomorrow morning, I’ll give you a clear explanation.”

“What do you mean it’s hard to investigate at night? We brought him to you, and something went wrong under your care. Instead of giving the family an explanation immediately, you want to drag this out until tomorrow?” Eileen snapped, pointing straight at Nella’s face.

Faced with Eileen’s relentless aggression, Nella frowned slightly.

“Nella, don’t think that just because you’re Alfred’s wife, you can gloss over what happened tonight. With the bond between Zoey and Alfred, you can’t be sure whose side he’d stand on.”

When she said the latter part, Eileen’s tone carried a smug edge.

“I know.”

Nella nodded calmly.

“Since you’re so certain Alfred would stand on your side, then why worry that I’d tamper with anything overnight?”

Compared to Eileen’s aggression, Nella remained composed and methodical.

It only made Eileen angrier.

She felt that Nella was deliberately mocking and provoking her.

“H-how could Alfred marry a woman like you?”

“If you have doubts about that, you can ask Alfred yourself.”

Nella’s reply remained steady and unyielding, leaving Eileen fuming.

“Hah! Just you wait.”

Eileen was about to say more, but Norris stopped her.
