I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 157

Sienna looked up and suddenly let out a soft laugh.

"No objections."

She picked up the document, stood up, and walked straight out of the conference room.

Returning to the break room, Sienna took off her white coat, folded it neatly, and placed it into a cardboard box.

She took off her ID badge, coiled her stethoscope, and tossed them both into a drawer.

Penny stood in the doorway, her eyes rimmed with red.

"Sienna, they're crossing the line! This is just straight-up bullying!"

"It's fine." Sienna placed her medical kit into the box and sealed it with packing tape.

From the moment she walked out of that conference room until now, she hadn't shed a single tear.

Tears were meant to be saved for people who actually cared. This place wasn't worth it.

"Sienna, something happened a while ago, and I felt like it was super sketchy, but I was too scared to bring it up. Now that Director Dayton is treating you like this, I strongly suspect it's connected."

Sienna's hands paused on the tape. She turned around and looked at Penny.

"Tell me."

Penny looked nervous, her fingers twisting the fabric of her scrub top as if she immediately regretted opening her mouth.

Sienna was already suspicious, and seeing Penny's frightened expression only confirmed her deepest fears.

She gently pulled Penny to a chair and sat her down, speaking in a soothing voice.

"You know me. Tell me what you know, and I promise I won't tell a soul it came from you."

Over the past year, Penny had been right by Sienna's side, watching her navigate one crisis after another, climbing over every obstacle thrown her way.

She trusted Sienna's character implicitly, and she simply couldn't stomach seeing her get thrown under the bus like this.

"That day... I saw Director Dayton go into Mrs. Fletcher's VIP suite. He stayed in there for a really long time before coming out..."

Sienna understood instantly.

Sure enough, all of this tied perfectly back to Yolanda.

First the nightmare in Africa, and now, Yolanda wanted to permanently exile her from Metropolis, banishing her to a rural backwater three hundred miles away.

"Thank you, Penny. This doesn't concern you, so just focus on your work and don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."

Penny's eyes welled up with tears again.

"Are you ever coming back, Sienna?"

Sienna didn't answer the question.
