Chapter 123 Asking for An Explanation

Kevin sat in a daze. He couldn't believe his ears. He had thought Rachel would blurt out about the prescription. But nothing of that sort happened.

She had reminded him of the prescription's problem, but he didn't listen and even scolded her.

All this made Kevin believe that Rachel would use this opportunity to get him fired. After all, he deserved it.

But the scene which was unraveling before him was one he didn't expect.

When Rachel finished, the executive slightly sighed, looked up at Sheila and said, "Miss, did you hear that? If you still don't believe us, we can provide you with all of the record of her condition during her stay in this hospital."

Sheila couldn't stand this any longer. She shouted angrily, "Nothing these people say or show will put my mind at ease. I am not here for the evidence! The doctor told me she would be fine after 24 hours' observation in the ICU. But what happened next? My sister died!"

Nobody made a reply, so she continued, "She had been admitted there for several days. During this time, you told me she was okay! I spoke to your doctor and nurses! None of you told me we were going to lose her."

Sheila almost lost control and cried out. The thought of her sister broke her heart into pieces.

Rachel took a look at Kevin who was sitting in the corner, poker faced.

What a chaotic afternoon! Everyone tried to comfort the mother and daughter, but nothing would soothe them.

In spite of their efforts, they seemed hell-bent on accusing the hospital for what happened.

Except for their conviction, there was no evidence which would prove there was any relation between the death and hospi

small matter. Two important doctors were involved in it.

If they still wanted to continue working there, it wouldn't be wise to spread the information. They had to think of the hospital's reputation if they wanted to keep this job.

Everything returned back to peaceful state, but there was a faint sense of restlessness in Rachel's heart.

After a busy day, when she stopped to take a rest, she found that her throat was very dry. She went back to the office and got a cup of warm water. Slowly, she gulped it down.

Warm liquid slid down her throat and relieved her pain.

From the next day on, she would leave emergency department and work upstairs.

Before she left work, she sorted out the cases in her hand and handed them over to the department director.

After leaving her office, Rachel went downstairs, her mind immersed in thoughts.

Lucas said that he would come back the next day. Mendes had lived in the Fu family's house for a long time. Rachel was about to call and pick up the kid.

As soon as she took out her phone, she received a call from a stranger.

Rachel got her car keys, unlocked the car door and sat inside. With utter confusion, she picked the call.

"Hello, who's this?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and a familiar female voice said, "Hello, Dr. Rachel."

The voice was a little hoarse and seemed to indicate the caller had been crying. In the background, there was clamor. Perhaps the call was being made on road side since the sound of cars passing by was very clearly heard.

Rachel realized who was speaking on the other side of the phone. She paused and said, "Hello."
