The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 618

My wandering thoughts were instantly yanked back by Dean Davidson's new announcement.

It wasn't until he mentioned Dr. Hudson that I realized the man wasn't even present at this mandatory all-staff meeting.

On stage, Dean Davidson continued with a serious expression. "I hope this serves as a wake-up call for everyone here. Healthy competition is beneficial for mutual progress among colleagues, but Malignant Internal Sabotage is unacceptable. Teamwork is the only way to deliver the best results for our patients. I do not want to see anything like this happen within our hospital walls ever again."

The mention of "Malignant Internal Sabotage" sent another wave of furious whispering through the crowd.

"Wait, so Dr. Hudson was involved in this mess too?"

"Think about it. There are players in the light and players in the dark. Zoey's goal was obviously to fast-track her way into marrying Dr. Sterling. But what did Zelda get out of it? You really think she risked her career just to be a good friend?"

"When Zelda first joined Capital General back in 2019, she was paired with Dr. Hudson. Word is they've been tight ever since. Dr. Hudson has been here longer than Dr. Sterling, but Dr. Sterling leapfrogged him to become the department director. Plus, there's only one senior promotion slot for the neurosurgery department this year..."

"So Zelda was taking orders from Dr. Hudson?"

"It's highly likely. I heard from a neurosurgery nurse that when Dr. Sterling was reported a while back, that little nurse, Whitney, was totally just a scapegoat. The real mastermind behind that incident was actually Zelda."

"No wonder Dean Davidson brought up Malignant Internal Sabotage. That kind of backstabbing is toxic. It could literally cost patients their lives."
