I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 15

Sienna sprinted straight toward Director Dayton's office.

The door was shut.

She knocked three times, got no answer, and threw the door open.

Fueled by sheer panic, she didn't even realize there were other people in the room.

She locked eyes with Dayton, her voice breathless and demanding.

"Director, the heart attack patient in bed three needs immediate surgery. Dr. Davis is in the clinic; he won't be here for twenty minutes. Let me operate!"

Dayton put down his files and frowned at her.

"Dr. Sterling, it's not that I doubt your skills. But Medical Affairs is auditing your data. With this investigation ongoing, if you step into the OR and something goes wrong..."

"Something goes wrong?" Sienna's voice turned to ice. "I have successfully saved countless heart attack patients, and you sit here questioning my record over nothing? You can target me all you want, but you cannot play games with a patient's life!"

Dayton's face flushed with anger.

"Dr. Sterling, watch your tone! You are out of line!"

"A man is dying! We are out of time!" Sienna was on the verge of furious tears.

She hadn't cried when she was ostracized. She hadn't cried when they spread vile rumors. She hadn't cried when they stripped her of the Lead Physician nomination.

But now—a human life was slipping away!

"Let her operate."

A steady, authoritative voice cut through the tension.

Sienna froze and turned her head.

A man stood by the window. He looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a white coat over a light blue dress shirt.

He had an aura of unshakable integrity that felt completely out of place in this bureaucratic nightmare of an office.

She had seen him before.

He had spoken at a hospital leadership meeting. He was an executive.

She had never bothered to learn his name or exact title.

But what made her breath hitch was the man standing right beside him.

Finn Fletcher.

Dressed in a black turtleneck and a dark gray overcoat, his striking presence could turn the most mundane office into a high-fashion runway.

Sienna gave him only a fleeting glance before ripping her eyes away.

Isaac Holloway picked up a pen from the desk and signed the surgical authorization form.
