The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 61: F-R-I-E-N-D

“Sir Erwin, we would just like to know the condition of the last organ donor,” Shantelle

asked.

With what happened to Shantelle,

Warlington Hospital requested a meeting with the organ center. The organization’s assistant administrator, Erwin, came to entertain their queries.

“What’s the use of asking this, Doctor Shant? “Doctor Park rolled her eyes. “We have

patients to attend to. What’s important is that the donor gave the organ, and the recipients got it happily.”

Doctor Park’s reaction no longer surprised Shantelle. After she removed Doctor Park from her surgery team, she acted ill- tempered toward her. Shantelle quickly put her in her place, saying, “Watch your tone, Doctor Park. I am still your superior.

Besides, we are only trying to find answers

to the recent attempt to my life!”

Shantelle looked into the eyes of her co- doctors and described, “How many heart transplants do we usually get in a year? One, two, at most, maybe three. But I had just performed a heart transplant with a gap of six weeks. Moreover, there is a threat to my

life due to the organ donor waitlist.”

“What are you suggesting, Doctor Shant?”

Doctor Hale asked.

“I am saying that there may be foul play in this,” Shantelle replied before turning back to Erwin. “For one, each time my life is in danger, a heart is due to arrive at our hospital. Someone from the organ center is also leaking this information.”

“There is no foul play regarding the donor’s death,” Erwin responded. “We have already done our investigation. The last donor was a cerebral palsy patient who was technically brain-dead, but her other organs were still healthy.”

“The families confirmed that someone approached them and asked if they could specifically name a recipient for their daughter’s organs, but they refused. They did not think it was fair to the waitlist.

Unfortunately, they failed to identify who approached them,” Erwin explained.

“Being advised of donating their daughter’s organs, however, hastened their decision to

cut off her life support,” Erwin added. ”

Nevertheless, I admit that someone is

leaking the potential donor’s list from our office, and that’s what we are currently looking into.”

At least Shantelle got some answers. It wasn’t as bad as she thought. Somewhat, she was afraid that someone was killing donors on purpose to give way to one, Briana West.

After the meeting, Shantelle went straight to Evan’s room. He had been admitted to the

hospital for three weeks. He underwent an operation to cover some of his severe

wounds. Miguel was in the same boat as

Evan because of their efforts to save her.

Entering the room, she saw Evan’s attending physician, Doctor Carson. He studied Evan’s arms, saying, “It’s healing better now. We made the right choice by

doing a skin transplant.”

Noticing Shantelle’s sudden arrival, Doctor Carson probed, “Doctor Shant. Are you in the wrong room?”

Shantelle pursed her lips, saying, “No, I am

not. I’m here to see Evan – Mister

Thompson, I mean.”
