Chapter 128 The Line Is Drawn
Especially since they were paid to be there. Of course, they had to carn their money.
The more Nella tried to drive them away, the more determined they were to stay.

“Dr. Milo, you keep dodging our questions and refusing to answer directly. That means you’re guilty, right?”
“You’re a woman and an elite intellectual. Don’t you feel ashamed, doing something so shameless?”
“So what people are saying online is true? You really are some academic sugar baby who PhD through connections?”
got her
Nella wanted to leave, but the group blocked the clinic doorway, leaving her unable to move an inch.
“What are you all doing crowding here? This is a hospital, not a farmers’ market. Cut the racket.”
A stern middle-aged man’s voice rang out at that moment.
Nella looked up and saw Caleb.
His face was dark as he strode over under a storm of messy, prying looks.
“Where’s security? Get these riffraff out of here, now!”
Caleb was furious.
The
way he looked at those unethical media accounts was filled with outright disgust.
Hearing themselves described as “riffraff,” the gossip hounds didn’t look pleased either.
They didn’t know Caleb’s background. They just assumed he was some hospital director and weren’t afraid of him.
“You’re Professor Fred, right? The one mentioned in the online exposé? Are you here to shield Dr. Milo?”
“Is it true, like the internet says, that you’re trying to cover for Dr. Milo?”
They clearly had no intention of sparing Caleb either.
The microphones were practically shoved into his face.

“Medical issues will be judged by a professional medical team. We don’t need ignorant fools coming here and running their mouths.”
Caleb had a fiery temper himself and wasn’t afraid of these mobs hiding behind ‘public opinion.’
“And also, even gossip reporters should read more books. At least learn how to use words properly. I won’t cover for my students. I will only protect my students.”
Caleb’s words made the clout-chasing media turn red with anger on the spot.
“Professor Fred, that’s an awful way to speak.”
“My words are awful? Compared to your faces?”
Caleb raised his voice.
“I know best what my student’s medical skills are like. As for her character, it’s not for you to question.”
Caleb slapped away the microphone shoved in his face.
“Have security remove them.”
Seeing that Caleb actually dared to confront ‘public opinion’ head-on, the unethical media exploded.
“Professor Fred, the public has a right to know the truth. You can’t just drive us out like this.”
Caleb was even angrier.
He was about to speak when Nella stopped him.
She walked up to the reporter who had been speaking and said, “I already said this. Once the hospital determines the cause of the patient’s postoperative complication, we will give the family and the public an explanation. As for my private matters…”
Nella’s gaze sharpened. “Whether it’s you or this so-called ‘public,’ you have no right to know.”
“What-”
“And the person who paid you to stir things up knows the truth very well. I’ll say just one thing: Don’t push this too far. It won’t do her any good.”
The hint in Nella’s words made several clickbaiters’ faces twitch.
