The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 125

It wasn't until I entered the conference room that I realized I wasn't the only one summoned.

Looking around, I saw Dr. Yates, The Iron Mask, and the head nurse from our department, along with people from the Department of Neurosurgery, HR, and the hospital administration.

It was quite a turnout.

Zoey and Zelda were sitting diagonally across from me. The younger girl had her head lowered, looking timid and on the verge of tears.

She looked incredibly wronged.

Although there were quite a few people, it was mostly just the Neurosurgery and Anesthesiology departments. Given that everyone present was somewhat connected to the recent whistleblower report, it was obvious they were here to put an end to the scandal.

And the culprit who had sparked the fiery debate on the forum must be sitting right here among us.

Who could it be?

As I pondered, a commotion broke out near the conference room door. Turning to look, I saw Ferris and Leon walking in with serious expressions, leading the way. But to our absolute shock, two police officers were following right behind them.

I heard one of the hospital administrators mutter, "What's going on? Why are the cops here?"

"Director Sterling didn't mention this. Let's just wait and see."

Looking at the police officers, and then at Ferris's ruthlessly cold expression, my heart started pounding nervously.

Once everyone was seated, the head of HR began the opening remarks. "We recently received an anonymous whistleblower report, and I'm sure you're all aware of the incident. We called you all here today to bring this matter to a close."

He paused, scanning the room before saying sternly, "We've already identified the person responsible. So, are you going to step forward yourself, or do you want me to call your name?"

Despite his best efforts to hide it, the way his hands gripped his white coat betrayed his intense anxiety.

The HR director shook his head. "In that case, please direct your attention to the projector."

The footage on the projector was straightforward. A heavily bundled-up figure appeared in front of the hospital's suggestion box. Even with the dim lighting on the camera, we could immediately recognize the silhouette as Curtis's. The next clip showed a nearby street, where the running figure accidentally knocked off his hat, revealing half of his face...

Faced with absolute proof, the last shreds of confidence shattered on Curtis's face, leaving behind pure disbelief.

"Curtis, care to explain why you did this?"

Called out once again, Curtis suddenly sprang up from his chair. He glared past Zelda to shoot Zoey a venomous look, then turned to Ferris on the podium, screaming, "Why do you think? Because it's unfair!"

"What's unfair?"
