The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 213

In the conference room.

Aside from the on-call staff, everyone in the department was present. The room was buzzing with over twenty people whispering and speculating.

"I can't believe the director is running this meeting personally. I wonder what it's about?"

"Probably the jumper from yesterday. It was a massive incident, and it's all over the internet."

"Do you think the director is here to give Dr. Vance an award? After all, she's the one who saved her."

"Maybe they're going to announce Dr. Vance as the new department head?"

Hearing this, Lila let out a cold scoff. "Impossible. She just got here. It's definitely not her turn. Besides, Jenna was her patient, so saving her was just part of her job. What's there to reward?"

At that moment, the director walked in, and the room instantly fell dead silent.

Dr. Jenson stood at the front of the conference table, his expression grave. "Yesterday's incident severely damaged the hospital's reputation. The higher-ups have mandated strict disciplinary action!"

The relaxed expressions on everyone's faces vanished instantly. He wasn't here to give out awards; he was here to hand out punishments.

The director looked at the current department head, Dr. Sutherland, sitting in the first seat on his right. "Dr. Sutherland, let's start with you."

Dr. Sutherland stood up. With her retirement just around the corner, having an incident like this happen on her watch left her looking furious. "After Jenna's previous doctor transferred out, Lila was put in charge of her case. For this incident, she bears full responsibility."

Lila's face drained of color. She frantically shot up and argued, "That's not true! I already transferred Jenna to Dr. Vance yesterday morning, and she admitted herself that she was Jenna's attending physician!"
