Chapter 644
“Our hospital used to be a beacon of hope that solved all kinds of complex and challenging diseases. We always made headlines for the right reasons, but our hospital has been severely criticized today because of you!”
Every word from the nurse was filled with scorn.
says, I will not tolerate anyone tarnishing Dr. Shaw’s reputation in our hospital!”
“Dr. Shaw has been with our hospital for three years, earning us numerous accolades. We cannot dismiss all of her accomplishments because of one mistake, understood?”
Cherise’s eyes narrowed. A frosty smile formed on the corners of her l*ps. With such cunning tactics, it was no wonder Martha had been promoted to deputy hospital director.
On the surface, her words seemed to chastise these people for undermining Cherise’s talent. But in reality, she was subtly insinuating that Cherise was at fault. Only a devious person like Martha was capable of such sly tricks.
“Thank you for defending me, Dr. Lane.” Cherise smiled faintly and looked up at Martha. “But, Dr. Lane, you’ve misunderstood one thing.”
“I have indeed brought disgrace to the hospital. After all, I could have exposed the person who conspired against me much earlier, but I didn’t. I gave her the chance to tarnish our. hospital’s reputation. Don’t you think I deserve to be punished, Dr. Lane?”
Martha’s white hair glinted under the lights. She squinted and instinctively turned to look at Cherise, who was also looking at her. One woman had a frosty gaze, while the other had an indifferent one.
As their eyes met, Cherise smiled gently at Martha. “Dr. Lane, you’re in
my way.”
Martha was startled. Only then did she realize her figure had instinctively tensed up and blocked Cherise’s path when she heard Cherise talk about someone conspiring against her.
Martha stepped aside almost reflexively. The young doctors surrounding her also made way
for Cherise.

“Thank you.” Cherise smiled and turned to leave.
She had just walked away when Martha suddenly came to her senses and called out, “Dr.
Shaw!”
Cherise’s steps faltered, and she turned around with a smile. “Is there anything else?”
Martha looked in the direction Cherise was heading. Dr. Shaw, where are you going?”
“You’re heading towards the hospital’s main entrance.” Martha crossed her arms and looked at Cherise coldly. “It’s still working hours. Where are you planning to go, Dr. Shaw?”
Cherise smiled faintly. “What’s wrong? Are you trying to control my personal freedom, too, Dr. Lane?”
Im just concerned about your safety, Dr. Shaw.” Martha smiled indifferently and pretended to be concerned for Cherise. “Many people outside are aware of your past and might want to harm you. You’d be safer staying in the hospital. We will protect you!”
A young doctor next to Martha scoffed. “Who would want to protect a doctor without medical ethics?”
Cherise’s eyes narrowed. A sneer formed on her l*ps.
However, Martha scolded the young doctor loudly, “How can you say such a thing?”
