Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 54: You Are Fired

Before anyone could respond, Nolan immediately stepped forward, putting on a professional smile. "Ah, Dr.

Clark. It’s nothing serious. Just a minor disagreement between our new doctor and the duty nurse. You don’t

need to trouble yourself with something so trivial. I'll handle it."

The man standing at the doorway was none other than Dr. David Clark, Head of the Oncology Department and

one of the clinical directors of Hope Specialized Hospital. Known for his calm demeanor and sharp judgment, Dr.

Clark had witnessed countless conflicts during his career. However, tonight's visit wasn’t by chance. Just as he

had been wrapping up his shift, Chairman Edward Miller personally called and asked him to immediately go to

Ward 12B to assist someone named Eleanor Raynor, someone the chairman described as "very important."

Though surprised, Dr. Clark took the call seriously. Now, observing the group gathered in the ward, he

immediately sensed the underlying tension. Still, he kept his tone level and professional.

"| see. And who are the individuals involved in this... disagreement?"

Dr. Annabelle Gresham stepped forward. "Director, | am the duty doctor here and one of the people involved."

Clark nodded. "Ah, yes. You're the recruit | interviewed a few days ago, correct? The gold medalist from your

graduating batch?"

"Yes, Director," Annabelle replied respectfully.

"Very well. Tellwhat happened."

Annabelle explained clearly and concisely, "I started my shift a short while ago. As | entered the ward to check in

with the duty nurse, | overheard her speaking rudely to patients. | reminded her of her professional

responsibilities and told her | would report her behavior. In response, Nurse Clara Vane called her boyfriend, Dr.

Nolan Piers, who arrived and immediately threatened to firewithout listening to any explanation. All the

patients here witnessed what happened."

At that moment, Eleanor stepped forward to support her.

"I can confirm everything she said," she said confidently. "Dr. Gresham acted professionally. Nurse Vane was the

one causing trouble."

Dr. Clark turned toward her. "And you are?"

"Eleanor Raynor. I'm here to visit a relative who is admitted to this ward."

Clark’s eyebrows twitched slightly. So, this is the woman Chairman Miller askedto look after. Internally, he

sighed in relief. Having located her, resolving the situation becstraightforward.

Before he could speak again, Nurse Clara Vane, who was visibly shaken by the direction the conversation was

going, rushed to defend herself. "They're twisting the facts! They ganged up on me! | was the one being bullied.

Dr. Piers can confirm it!"

She turned desperately toward Nolan, who was silently fiddling with his phone, trying to call his influential uncle,

Director Roland, to intervene.

Dr. Clark looked back at Clara, unimpressed. "Do you have anyone other than Dr. Piers who can support your

version of the story?"

Clara went silent. She glanced at the patients, but none of them met her gaze. She knew better than anyone

how she'd treated them before.

"Il... I don’t," she muttered.

Clark folded his arms, his tone hardening. "Exactly. Dr. Piers is also involved and cannot be considered a neutral

party. Dr. Gresham, on the other hand, is new. She just arrived today. Are you tellingshe formed ssecret

alliance with patients she met minutes ago just to fryou?"

Clara shrank under his gaze.

"No one else reported issues with the other nurses who've worked this ward. Yet, the moment you are on shift,

problems arise. That speaks volumes, Nurse Vane."

He let the silence linger for a beat before continuing firmly. "We built this hospital to becthe best in the

region. We will not let a few unprofessional staff members damage our reputation. Pack your belongings and

leave. An official investigation will be launched, and you'll be notified in due course."

He picked up his phone and dialed quickly. "Please send a nurse from the emergency pool to Ward 12B

immediately. The current nurse has been dismissed for misconduct. You'll receive the official report by

tomorrow."

Then, dialing another number, he spoke again. "I need all available surveillance footage near Ward 12B,

especially the one just outside the door. Also, | need clean aufrom inside the ward if available. The tis

one hour before now. Please send it directly to the Chairman’s office. This is related to a matter he’s personally

overseeing."

Clara, stunned, collapsed onto the floor. Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks. The triumphant

look she once wore had vanished entirely. She looked like a child lost in the dark.

Meanwhile, Nolan had just finished his phone call with Director Roland and walked back, trying to look

composed. But Dr. Clark turned to him with the ssteel in his gaze.

"As for you, Dr. Piers," he said coldly, "you're also dismissed for professional misconduct. You're to leave the

hospital premises immediately. A report will be filed tomorrow, and you will be contacted for the official inquiry."

Nolan's face turned pale. "W-Wait! Director Clark, please hold on. Director Roland is on his way. He'll be here

shortly to resolve this. He's the Director of Operations... you can’t firewithout consulting him!"

Clark didn’t flinch. He picked up the phone again.

"Director Roland?"

"Yes. I've fired Dr. Nolan Piers and Nurse Clara Vane for unprofessional behavior."

"There's no need for you to come. If you have any objections, feel free to contact Chairman Miller. He is fully

informed and authorizedto act."

"Yes, thank you. Take care."

He ended the call and stared at the stunned couple.

"Why are you still standing here? Do you need security to escort you out?"

Nolan opened his mouth but no words cout. He clenched his jaw and stormed out of the ward. Clara,

sobbing uncontrollably, stumbled after him.

Annabelle’s eyes widened in surprise, her voice filled with emotion. "Thank you, Director. But truly, you were the

hero today. Without your support, | would have been thrown out unjustly."

Clark chuckled softly. "I was simply doing my duty."

Turning to the patients, he addressed

Finally, he walked up to Eleanor, his expression warm.

"You were brave to speak up. Chairman Miller askedto personally thank you. He's on the phone now. He'd

like to speak with you."

He handed her the phone. Eleanor blinked in surprise, but took the call.

"There's no need to worry," Eleanor replied calmly. "It was a minor issue. No one was hurt."
