I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 267

Meanwhile, at Mercy International Hospital's inpatient ward.

Sienna had just finished her morning rounds when a panicked nurse ran up to her.

"Dr. Sterling, what are you still doing up here? It's an absolute disaster downstairs! Someone hung up a banner claiming you took bribes and butchered a surgery. The press is already here, and they're livestreaming the whole thing!"

Sienna walked to the window and peered down.

Bold black letters on a white sheet declared: *Mercy International's Dr. Sienna Sterling Murders Patients for Bribes.*

Joanna Langston's daughter was standing front and center, sobbing hysterically into the camera lenses.

Sienna remembered Joanna vividly—a gastric cancer patient. The surgery had been flawless, her recovery phenomenal, and she had been discharged two weeks ago.

The nurse was beside herself with anxiety.

"Dr. Sterling, this is a PR nightmare! If Director Hayes catches wind of this, he might just..."

Sienna felt a cold spike of dread. That was her biggest fear.

She absolutely could not allow the hospital's reputation to be tarnished, nor could she let Director Hayes regret hiring her.

"I'll go down and handle it," Sienna said, pivoting sharply and marching toward the elevators.

At the exact same time, up in the Director's Office.

Silas Hayes sat behind his expansive mahogany desk, reviewing the latest aircraft certification files for his newly launched aviation subsidiary, AeroJet.

Finn Fletcher sat directly across from him, having been invited in as the consulting pilot for the official flight certifications.

Finn meticulously flipped through the final page of the dossier and looked up.

"Mr. Hayes, the certification documentation is flawless on my end."

Silas nodded and was just about to reply.

When two sharp knocks echoed through the room. Caspar pushed the door open, his expression grim.

He glanced at Finn, visibly hesitating.

"Spit it out," Silas commanded, his tone completely level.

"Mr. Hayes, Dr. Sterling is in trouble. A patient's family is staging a protest in the lobby, accusing her of taking bribes and botching a procedure. The media is swarming the place."

The pen in Finn's hand froze.

Without uttering a single word, he stood up and strode straight toward the door.

"Finn, where exactly do you think you're going?" Silas's voice cut through the air from behind.
