Sweet Twins

The managers scattered as if they had been granted amnesty.

No sooner had they left than Charles came out of his office.

Seeing this, Viola trembled in fear, worried that Charles would reproach her for letting the managers leave.

Just when she was about to defend herself with an awkward smile on her face, Charles walked off without sparing her a glance.

Once he was out of sight, she breathed a long sigh of relief. 'Phew! Mr. Fu is very, very scary.'

Charles went downstairs, got into his car, and immediately drove to the hospital without a second's delay.

At that moment, Nancy had just finished the surgery. It had gone perfectly, but after doing three surgeries in a row, not to mention the amount of pressure she had felt on her, she was exhausted.

As soon as she walked out of the operating room, Ethan grabbed her arms and greeted her. "Nancy, what's wrong with you?" he asked anxiously.

"There was a little problem with the surgery, but it's solved now. Don't worry." Nancy smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, no, that's not what I'm talking about. Your name is all over the internet. There are so many articles saying that you received a bribe for performing the surgery. The president said that this incident has given the hospital a bad name. You are such a clever woman. How could you do such a stupid thing?" Ethan shook his head in exasperation.

"Ethan, we have known each other for so many years. How could you believe such news? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take bribes without any professional ethics?" Nancy said, disappointment flashing across her face.

But Ethan, who was usually a refined and level-headed man, did not back down even a little. "It's not about whether I believe you or not! The public doesn't believe you, nor do the senior management members of the hospital. What should we do?"

Nancy was already so drained of energy that she didn't want to stand around listening to Ethan's complaints.

"Ethan, I can handle my own problems. Can you just go back to work?" she said curtly before turning around to walk to her office.

"Why are you being so rude, Nancy? I'm here because I'm worried about you, but you're just ignoring me. Do you think this is the right way to behave?" Ethan growled, feeling aggrieved.

He couldn't understand why Nancy was being so calm when her career and her future were at stake.
