When Zoey’s eyes met Nella’s, the corner of her lips curled into a strange smile.

Then she followed her parents out.

Nella paused and stared at Zoey’s retreating figure, her expression turning cold.

Back in her office, Nella took Patrick’s medical chart and reviewed it carefully once more.

She still couldn’t find any issues.

In the end, she even pulled up the full recording of Patrick’s aortic dissection surgery from the emergency that day and watched it again.

She, her assistants, and the rest of the medical staff didn’t make mistakes.

any

That meant the surgery itself was not the problem.

So the only possibility was improper postoperative management leading to complications.

Patrick’s condition tonight was neither trivial nor catastrophic.

If it had been discovered later and the clot had dislodged, causing a pulmonary embolism or even a cerebral embolism, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.

At Griffin Club.

“Enough already. You’re in this state, and you’re still drinking like that. Are you trying to kill yourself?”

Inside the massive private room, expensive liquor bottles were scattered all over the floor.

Mason had been watching coldly for most of the night. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and reached over to snatch the bottle from Alfred’s hand.

Alfred didn’t try to take it back.

Once the bottle was gone, he just sat on the couch, staring into space.

His eyes were lowered, his emotions unreadable.

“It’s not because of Nella, is it?”

Mason blocked his hand again, asking casually.

Alfred’s movement froze.

His alcohol-flushed eyes lifted slightly to look at Mason.

eyes.

“Nella ran into some trouble tonight. Did you know?” Mason suddenly said.

Alfred’s drinking motion stopped abruptly.

He didn’t ask right away and took another drink.

Since Alfred didn’t ask, Mason didn’t explain either. He simply toyed with his phone, looking indifferent.

Seeing that Mason still wasn’t saying anything, Alfred finally couldn’t hold back and looked up.

“What happened to Nella?”

His tone sounded casual and dismissive, but it carried a barely perceptible tension and urgency.

Mason raised an eyebrow and handed him the phone.

“Patrick had some kind of emergency tonight. Nella was even cornered by Patrick’s parents in the duty room, demanding answers.”

Alfred snatched the phone from Mason.

It was a message from Jasmine.

The screen was filled with curses directed at Alfred, along with a detailed account of the trouble Nella had run into during her overnight shift.
