The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 1175

The girl was at a loss for words when accused. It was true that she admired Logan's skills and had once dreamt of being mentored by him. Yet, she had no intention of defending Logan's supposed actions.

She had simply considered the possibilities, not wanting to accuse anyone without evidence, especially someone she looked up to.

Seeing her speechless, another girl, smugly raised an eyebrow, "Hey, Four-Eyes, I know you're dying for Logan to mentor you, but we have to stand against people with questionable morals like him!"

"To be honest, Faye has been nothing but good to us, teaching us everything she knows. Do you really want to be on the wrong side of history here?"

The girl felt the weight of several gazes upon her.

Feeling cornered, she reluctantly nodded, "You're right. We should take a stand!"

Just as she finished her passionate declaration, the sound of knocking startled all the interns.

"Who's in there? It's work hours, open up right now!" Logan's voice boomed, causing a wave of panic.

None of them had anticipated that the very subject of their discussion would come knocking the next second.

They all began to worry if their discussion had been overheard, fearing the worst.

Normally, Logan wouldn't get this upset over minor slacking, but today's agitation suggested he might have heard everything.

Despite the continued knocking, no one wanted to open the door, fearful of facing Logan's wrath, remembering how he had dealt with Barbara and the assistant dean.

After a moment, with no one answering the door, Logan tried to keep his impatience in check, "I'm giving you one more chance to open this door. Otherwise, I'll get the dean involved, whether you're a doctor or a new intern. Manage your time wisely and don't test my patience."

The door was promptly opened, and the girl with glasses hesitated to meet Logan's eyes.

To their surprise, not only Logan but Faye was also there, standing right behind him.

Seeing her own interns emerge from within, Faye's expression soured, indicating they hadn't taken her lessons to heart.

Before Logan could speak, Faye stepped forward, visibly disappointed, "What have I always told you? Why are you hiding here instead of being at your posts, especially at a time like this?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the girl with glasses asked Faye, "Ms. Faye, what happened?"

"Patient in bed thirteen started causing trouble. He fell while getting water, breaking his leg. It was our responsibility, and we weren't there," Faye explained.

The interns gasped. The patient in bed thirteen was notoriously difficult, and his family was even worse. Now, they were directly responsible for this mess.

The hospital had a policy allowing interns to gain hands-on experience to avoid the pitfalls of mere observation. They were expected to perform nearly all tasks short of surgery, under supervision.

Faye had thoroughly briefed them on the patient's background, daily requirements, and temper, reminding them repeatedly who was responsible each day.
