Chapter 1357
"Phew..."
After over four long hours of surgery, Winter collapsed on a chair, her hands covered in blood.
"Are you alright, Winter?" Jean asked as she wiped Winter's sweaty forehead.
Winter shook her head. "I feel so disappointed..."
"Yeah..." Jean sighed, shaking her head as she and Winter turned toward the man on the surgical table, who was just stitched up. "It's alright-you did your best." "I know." Winter sighed unhappily.
Soon, Gus Zeller was moved to a wheel bed and wheeled out of the surgery room.
"Hahaha! It's killing me... Just look at her face, it's almost like she's disappointed."
"Hehe. Brats putting on airs, I tell you. Well done, a retainer of the Soranos ended up dead on their surgical table... the Soranos are really going to be pissed."
"Well, it's not our fault. Let's just watch how this turns out."
Winter frowned when she heard those people, but Paco was already striding toward her before she could say a word.
"Hah! And here I actually thought for a moment there's hope for you."
He laughed coldly as he glanced at Gus, whose eyes were firmly shut, and waved off Winter and Jean before they could argue, "Now get out of this hospital, brats. Quit putting on airs when you're just Gene Pearce's lover. If he wants this hospital to stay reputable, he should understand he can't just appoint anyone he likes as chief."
"Winter..."
Just then, Winter's classmates appeared at the hallway too, glaring at Winter and Jean in contempt and exasperation.
They came when they heard that Winter was appointed chief of Zamri Hospital as Frank had told them.
After all, they wanted Winter to pull strings for them to secure an internship in Zamri Hospital.
They did not expect to run into this situation as soon as they arrived and they could certainly hear Paco, who insisted endlessly that Winter only got the job because she was Gene's lover.
"Winter..."
One of the girls strode up, sighing lengthy.
She thought for a moment that Frank had such a profound influence that he could arrange for a fresh graduate like Winter to become a hospital chief.
Now, however, it turned out that Winter was just doing what Yew Daley did-sleeping with a man to get her job.
They had walked out on their
gathering because they refused to
take such humiliation. Now, they were surprised to find that Winter was corrupted as well, despite her usual sense of integrity.
"We were wrong about you, Winter!"
"And here we thought that we could rely on you... Forget it."
"You're no different from Yew Daley!"
Hearing their vocal disappointment, Winter quickly explained, "No, it's not what you think—"Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Then what is it?"
Tina, the girl leading them, snorted and shook her head. "Your brother is indeed amazing, helping you hook up with Gene Pearce. You must have worked very hard for this, huh?"
Then, turning to Jean who stood
beside Winter, she continued, "That goes for you too, Jean. Acting like you have integrity... Turns out it was all just an act. Well, we won't be bothering you now."
As Tina strode off, the other girls followed, refusing to sleep with a man to get the job.
"Who are they?" Paco asked his assistant, frowning as he stared at the group of young women.
