Supreme Mars novel Chapter 59

Since Shawn had run away, the farce was over. Only a few teachers stood awkwardly in front of the Medical Department.

When such a big incident erupted, they had to deal with the patient's family members carefully, but none of them could have known that they were faking it all along...

Some wondered, "If Shawn was at fault, wouldn't we become his accomplices by association?"

"Excuse me, are you Marie Henderson's family?" A teacher braced himself to come up and asked cautiously.

Leo replied lightly, "I'm her brother-in-law. I heard that she was expelled because of this incident, right?"

The teachers started to grumble amid themselves, "Of course, he’s here to cause problems."

"Gordon, it's your department; you fix it," one teacher said.

Everyone turned to look at a man with a pot belly.

The man had to face the music and said, "There's nothing we could do about it. The impact was extremely negative. If we did not punish her, Emerdale University would be forced to close."

"I just want to ask one thing: is there anything wrong with the prescription she gave?" Leo asked indifferently.

Gordon replied with a face full of resignation, "No."

Leo's tone became cold. "Then why was she expelled? You used your student as a scapegoat in order to keep your nose clean? How could you have the face to call yourself a teacher?"

The loud shout scared Gordon and the other teachers so much that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Marie looked at her teachers with immense disappointment.

"I'd like to meet your president," Leo said.

Gordon got fidgeted and said, "The president is in a meeting now. I'm afraid that you can't go in..."

"Get lost!" Nadine cast a cold stare at him and then no one dared to say anything.

In her mind, the people here were all finished. The Department of Education was about to get busy again...

Marie tailed after Leo quietly, lost in thought.

She had only known Leo for two days, but already felt safe around him.

Until now, only her father and sister had offered her that kind of sense of security.

"Clang!"

Leo kicked the door of the president's office open and asked the middle-aged man there, "Are you Darren Guerrero?"

Darren wore glasses and looked rather composed. He frowned slightly and asked, "You are?"

Gordon rushed over, panting, and said, "Mr. Guerrero, I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him..."

Darren gave him a reassuring look and nodded slightly. "I see. Please excuse us for a moment."

Gordon still wanted to say something but left in dejection when he saw Darren's eyes.

"I'm Leo Cohen." Leo then questioned, "Was it you who expelled Marie?"

"Oh, I was wondering what you all came here for. So, it’s because of her." Darren smiled and said calmly, "Did I do anything wrong?"

"She didn't learn well enough and harmed a patient as a result. It made sense to expel her. Otherwise, how could we appease the anger of the patient's family?"

He spoke so righteously as if what he had done was right, which made Leo even angrier. He argued, "As far as I know, her prescription has no problems."

Darren said gravely, "But she did worsen the patient's condition. You can't take back that fact."

Leo's face turned frosty because Darren did not reason with him but just kept fixating on this point.

But it was an undeniable that Marie's patient became worse.

"If you want Marie to return to our university, I suggest you produce solid evidence to prove her innocence. Otherwise, everything you just said was empty talk." Then he asked faintly, "Is there anything else?"

"As long as I uncover the truth, you say?" Leo looked calm again.

"Yes," Darren smiled and said, "And if we did wrong by her, I will personally apologize."

"I'm just worried that you won't sit in that chair long enough to do so." Leo then left his office with Marie.
