Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 82

"This isn't right."

I frowned upon hearing what Casey said. The way she handled the hospital's affairs was completely unreasonable. The hospital staff hadn't been paid for months, not to mention that the hospital director and administrative officers had run away.

At a time like this, those in charge should have been held accountable, yet she was pointing fingers at the doctors and nurses.

Even if the Newton family wanted to take over the hospital at the lowest possible cost, this wasn't the way to go.

"Jace, why are you even taking their side? Everything's written clearly in their contracts. If they were ignorant and broke the terms, who else is to blame?"

Casey was displeased with my comment, but her expression softened when she looked at me.

"Jace, you're always so kind and willing to help people like them. I heard you've already made quite a few enemies among the management since you returned to the company." Her voice was full of concern.

"You make a great doctor, but if you really plan to stay at the company..." Her voice trailed off as she thought about it.

She shook her head and said, "I'll make you a deal. If you promise to work here at the hospital, I'll waive their penalty fees. Whether I sue them or not depends on your decision. What do you say?"

She looked at me with a smile. The nurses nearby all turned to look at me at once.

One of them, the same nurse who performed the surgery with me today, stepped forward.

"Dr. Ranford, please say yes. We really can't afford to pay the penalty. And you performed a surgery here today, didn't you? You've seen it for yourself—our hospital isn't that bad," she pleaded.

"You performed a surgery here? On whom?" Samuel asked, glancing at me. He had been standing by idly, but after hearing the nurse, he couldn't help but speak up.

I furrowed my brows. Nadine noticed the displeasure on my face and signaled the nurse to stop.

"Stop it!" Nadine stepped in and glanced at Casey.

"And how do you know everyone left without a reason? They were all still on duty ten days ago. They're on annual leave now. The administrative directors were the ones who disappeared without warning!

Nadine reacted quickly. She realized Casey was exploiting a loophole in the contract, and she found a way to fight back in no time.

"Who's to say if they're on leave or just ran away?" Casey barked. She glared at Nadine, taken aback by her sharp response.
