Chapter 70
I ended the call with a smile. Right then, a nurse walked in with the surgery schedule and handed it to me.\
She looked at me with admiration, “Dr. Kentwood, you’re incredible! Your former patients followed you straight here! And they’re all VIPs, wealthy and powerful! Because of this, all those slanderous rumors about you have vanished completely.”
I just smiled in response. Before resigning, I had of course communicated with my patients in advance.
After all, most of them had chosen Sommerset Hospital specifically because of me. So once they found out I was leaving, they no longer felt comfortable giving birth there. When they heard I was going to my family’s hospital, they didn’t hesitate to transfer.}
Lilian’s private hospital had always aimed for the high–end market. Because of my medical skills, the expecting mothers were all well–connected, influential people.M
Word spread quickly. With me gone, her hospital lost its biggest draw.
Sure enough, right after I finished a surgery and picked up my phone, I saw dozens of missed calls from Lilian. She was calling again.
I picked up and immediately heard her angry voice, “Lucas! What the hell is this? Did you do this? You took all the maternity patients from the hospital! How could you be so vicious to me!“W
I sneered at her words, “Vicious? Aren’t you the one who slandered me across the medical field, trying to ruin my career?”
She paused but still spoke righteously, “That was just for show, for Barry’s sake! You hit him, so I had to let him vent! Besides, why would you go to another hospital? I told you we’d get back together! You’re going to return to my hospital eventually!”
Then she added, “If you’re that afraid I won’t remarry you, then fine, we won’t get divorced!” As if making a huge concession, she said, “But you can’t tell Barry. I don’t want him to get upset.”
I laughed out loud, “Lilian, how many times do I have to say it before you understand? I’m definitely divorcing you. There’s no way we’ll remarry. I have no interest in a woman who’s been tainted again and again.”
I continued, “Now that I’ve got a proper job, I don’t need that ten thousand–dollar–a–month joke of a position! And yes, you guessed right, I was the one who took all your patients.”
“And another thing I never told you, my dad is the director of Cedar Heights Hospital.” With that, I hung up and blocked her number.” I handed the rest of the divorce proceedings o side, the whole process went smoothly.
