The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 995

Neera frowned, her doubts intensifying. “Could it be...”

Before she finished her sentence, Isabella immediately understood what she was trying to say. “I don't believe it.”

Isabella bit her lip hard and responded quickly as if she was anxiously denying something. “The Lopez family, after all, is a family of doctors. The education we received from a young age was to cure diseases and save lives, and we never joke about a patient's life. Even for the sake of power, we can't abandon the principles and ethics of a doctor!”

Seeing the determined look on her face, Neera could only sigh in silence. This bestie of mine may seem carefree, but she's actually quite innocent and kind-hearted.

Even when caught in the whirlpool of the Lopez family's power struggle, she always held onto her fundamental values as a doctor.

The education she received from a young age served as a guiding principle for her. She was not prepared to witness the waning influence of that principle.

“If that's really the case, I'm afraid your position as the director might be in jeopardy since you can't produce evidence to prove yourself.” Neera had no choice but to remind her of the cruel reality and the worst possible outcome.

Isabella's face instantly fell, she was utterly dejected.

Nonetheless, she still had to solve the problem. After a moment of dejection, she mustered up the courage to face it. “I'll take care of this matter, you don't need to worry about me. Given the current situation, let's just hope the patient is all right.”

Neera nodded in agreement, choosing to wait for the news with her.

About an hour later, Isabella's assistant hurriedly came in. “Director, the rescue is successful. The patient is now out of danger and has been moved to the general ward!”

This was undoubtedly good news, and Isabella finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could even feel relieved, the assistant spoke again. “But now, the patient's family is causing a commotion outside. They don't want you to continue treating this patient...”

Neera's expression darkened. She immediately went out to take a look.

The family was engaged in a heated argument, blaming Isabella. “The hospital's director prescribed the wrong medication, and it almost cost my son his life! Who would dare to let such a doctor treat them? Heartless doctor! She's nothing more than someone who would harm others for her own benefit. A despicable, vile creature! My son was on the brink of recovery, but now he's back in bed. I can't help but wonder when he'll make a full recovery!”

Upon hearing the commotion, the other patients and their families came out one after another, all terrified. In no time, they swarmed to the nurse's station, demanding a change of their attending doctor.

They were all stirred up, no longer believing in Isabella's medical skills.

Nothing could be worse than this situation!

Those people from the Lopez family might very well seize this opportunity to deal with Isabella.

Neera's brows were tightly knitted, her face looking rather unpleasant.

As she turned around, she saw Isabella had also followed her out, her face deathly pale, her lips even trembling slightly. “Bell...”

When she was just about to persuade Isabella to calm down, Alvin walked over. “Isabella, the hospital's shareholders have called for an urgent meeting. We have to go now.”

Isabella stared at him with a heavy heart, sensing the mockery in his eyes. She could feel her spirits sinking even lower.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to stay calm. “Understood.”

“Neera, you should go home now. I can handle this matter myself.” After finished speaking, she walked away stiffly, heading to the conference room with Alvin.

Her assistant was deeply concerned, bordering on desperation. “Ms. Garcia, what do we do now? The director isn't someone who makes careless mistakes. There must be something wrong with this situation...”

Neera shared the same thoughts. Instead of leaving immediately, she turned to her assistant and asked, “Are there surveillance cameras in this office? Could you do me a favor and make a copy of the footage from the past few days? If someone had tampered with the data in Bell's computer, they would have had to enter her office. We should be able to find out who it was by watching the footage.”

The assistant's eyes lit up when she heard that. and she gladly agreed to retrieve the footage for her.

As Isabella entered the conference room, she immediately sensed the discomfort that came with the shareholders' scrutinizing stares.

In those gazes, Isabella could discern not only doubt and mockery but also traces of disdain and disgust.

“You owe us an explanation now that the situation has spiraled out of control.” Someone spoke up in a hostile tone.

Isabella took a deep breath and said aloud, “I didn't prescribe the wrong medication. Something must have gone wrong.”

“You're still providing excuses! If there wasn't an error, then why did the patient's condition deteriorate after taking your medicine? If Harris hadn't intervened today, the situation would be far worse!” the person exclaimed.

Another shareholder chimed in, “Exactly! You're accountable for this matter. Don't think you can evade responsibility by simply saying you didn't prescribe the wrong medication! We appointed you as the hospital director because we believed in your exceptional medical skills and your sense of responsibility. But now, if you continue to evade responsibility when issues arise, we may need to challenge your role as the director!”

“I agree! Your mistake has now had a significant impact on the hospital. A director with bad credibility is not good for the hospital's reputation, and certainly not for our Lopez family.”
