Ste handed Aileen a few tissues, her voice filled withpassion as she said, “Mrs.
Barnes, please don’t cry.
Take your time and tell me what happened.
”
With a soothing touch on Aileen’s back and whispered words offort in her ear, Ste tried to ease her distress.
Aileen gradually regained herposure, though her voice still carried a heavy nasal tone as she recounted, “A few days ago, Farris was used of a misdiagnosis, and the hospital authorities decided to suspend him indefinitely…”
Tears welled up in her eyes once more.
Ste was taken aback.
She hadn’t anticipated the gravity of the situation.
“I can’tprehend this.
Farris has been an experienced doctor for many years, never making any mistakes.
How could something like this suddenly happen?” Aileen cried out in anguish.
“I’m just a full-time housewife.
There’s nothing I can do to help him.
All I can do is watch him suffer.
”
“Mrs.
Barnes, please don’t lose hope.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
We all know that Farris is a skilled doctor.
I’m certain the hospital will vindicate him,” Ste reassured her, holding her hand tightly.
“No, the hospital has abandoned him.
” Aileen shook her head despairingly.
“The dean mentioned that the patient’s family has taken the matter to court.
Overwhelmed, Aileen began to speak incoherently,”
Being a doctor has been Farris’ dream since childhood.
He’s worked tirelessly to reach where he is today.
But now, this has happened.
He’s been unable to sleep, and it took immense effort for him to even fall asleep just now.
”
Perhaps fearing that she might wake Farris, Aileen consciously lowered her voice.
“His father is trying to contact someone who might help Farris regain his position as soon as possible.
”
Ste wore a serious expression.
She hadn’t anticipated the severity of the situation and was gued by a sense of foreboding.
“Do you happen to know which patient’s family filed theint?” she asked in a whisper.
Aileen wiped away her tears and replied, “Farris didn’t tell me, but I suspect it might be the patient with the injured hand.
This issue has been trending on the inte for two days now.
I heard she was treated at the hospital where Farris worked.
”
Ste’s shock deepened.
Last night, during the argument with Matthew, he uttered a veiled threat, warning her that she would regret it if she visited Farris.
Could Matthew have had a hand in Farris’ suspension?
Influential people… Matthew…
The thought simmered in Ste’s mind, fueling her anger.
Just then, a noise came from the adjacent room.
Ste turned to see Farris emerging from the bedroom.
