"No, it's impossible!" Alondra took four or five steps back and then sat down on a chair. She shoutedin frustration, "How dare you say that about me? I've never had a failure! It was his own health thatcaused the problem!"
Her face was extremely pale as if she were sick. Her left cheek was swollen like a steamed bunfrom being slapped, and her fierce expression made her look terrifying.
Where was the dignified demeanor of a medical expert?
Sabrina stood among the crowd, feeling dizzy. Her mentor had been involved in such a scandal;what would she do now? Could she still make it in the medical field?
Mrs. Ritter snapped out of her shock and started pounding on the chair like a shrew while shoutingat Alondra, "Everyone come see! Alondra is a murderer! She killed my husband!"
Ashlyn didn't care about her shoes being trampled on by others as she waddled over to Sylvia'sside. It seemed like this was their first time meeting each other.
Sylvia's face was perfect - beautiful and delicate - but without any expression as she looked ateveryone around them.
It seemed like they were all unimportant people.
"My dad became brain-dead... but he didn't die." Ashlyn laughed through tears; she didn't knowwhether to be happy or sad.
Especially after experiencing the pain and anger of having her father declared dead before himsuddenly being saved by someone who had once been an enemy to them both - even though heended up becoming brain-dead instead - at least his life had been saved; he wouldn't have to turninto ashes or mud anymore.
Tears streamed down Ashlyn's cheeks.
She knelt down in front of Sylvia. "I'm sorry Sylvia... my mom and I weren't good before. Weshouldn't have done those things that hurt you and Jenna."
Three consecutive sounds echoed through the room as if Ashlyn finally realized how ugly she reallywas inside. She lay prostrate at Sylvia's feet while Sylvia appeared godlike from above lookingdown upon all living beings below her feet.
"I won't do it again," Ashlyn said with tears streaming down her face while wiping them away withone hand. "I don't expect your forgiveness but I want to thank you for saving my dad from death'sgrip... even though he became brain-dead instead."
She stood up from where she knelt on the ground. She never thought there would come a day whenSylvia would lend out helping hands towards them both so generously.
If roles were reversed between them two, then there's no way Ashlyn could've done what Sylvia didfor their family today – not even close...
Sylvia remained expressionless, her demeanor cold. "If I had known the patient was your father, Iwouldn't have come. I don't want to be involved with the Ritter family in any way."
"But regardless, you saved my father's life," Ashlyn's heart felt like it had been pricked by needles.The mix of emotions made her feel like she had grown up in an instant.
Dragging her barefooted foot behind her, she walked towards Mrs. Ritter and said, "Mom, I won'targue with Ms. Wolfe anymore. Fighting is pointless. She made a medical mistake and the hospitalwill handle it - it's not our problem. If they compensate us for damages, then we'll accept it; if notthat's okay too. As long as my dad is still alive, we shouldn't give up."
"Mrs. Ritter, do you believe in karma? Do you think bad deeds lead to bad consequences?" Sylviastood outside of the crowd with hands in pockets and eyes piercing through them onto Mrs. Ritter.
Mrs. Ritter looked up at Sylvia with a pale face; her lips trembled twice before speaking dryly."What... what do you mean?"
"It means that because your family has done so many bad things... this is karma," Sylvia smiled atMrs. Ritter beautifully while saying this. "I suggest that from now on you should do more good deedsor else those who live by the sword die by the sword."
"You..." Mrs. Ritter wanted to get angry but Ashlyn stopped her. "Mom, please don't act like this! Dr.Sylvia saved Dad's life!"
"I suggest that Trala Automotive should recall all their vehicles nationwide and pay compensationfor damages caused by them," Sylvia continued nonchalantly while giving out conclusions as ifdeclaring bankruptcy for such a large corporation was just an everyday thing. "Also the RitterGroup's stocks are continuously falling – if they fall any further they'll declare bankruptcy soonenough- before then maybe compensation can still be paid?"
But Mrs. Ritters felt thunderstruck!
"No! That's impossible! If we recall all our vehicles and pay compensation, we'll definitely gobankrupt!"
"But if you don't recall or compensate, your stocks will keep falling!" Sylvia laughed again. "Youmight as well sell off all your shares for money to compensate."
She shook her head disapprovingly. "It seems like Mrs. Ritter hasn't learned anything yet!"
Mrs. Ritter's face became even uglier; she seemed to age instantly.
Now Donovan has become a vegetable... the Ritter family have finally fallen apart...
She couldn't help but cover her face with her hands and cry out loud. "Mom..." Ashlyn hugged herwith sympathy, "Mom, we will be okay in the future."
"The Ritter family has been ruined by your father and me. What are you going to do?" Mrs. Rittercried bitterly.
However, it did not evoke any sympathy from anyone.
Everything was their own fault.
The sensational Tesla car brake failure incident finally came to an end. After the Ritter Groupproposed a recall of cars for full compensation, the Ritter Group declared bankruptcy after thecompensation ended.
The news that Donovan, the president of The Ritter Group became a vegetable also became a hottopic among people on streets and alleys. Alondra's medical accident also made headlines inmedical journals directly.
Alondra's reputation was completely ruined in the medical field.
The hospital directly fired her and Alondra had to bear Donovan's compensation money herself.
Alondra had some savings for many years, so she wouldn't be penniless.
But her career was destroyed too miserably.
She was so angry that she didn't eat or drink for several days until Presley came over to persuadeher and Katie also came over to comfort her.
"Sylvia is really our nemesis! I'm so angry! Let my brother take revenge!" Alondra angrily threwanother cup down on the ground again
Katie quickly comforted her. "Aunt Alondra, don't worry about it. When we get home, I'll tell Dadabout it; he knows some researchers like Tyrell who is very capable."
Presley patted Alondra on the back. "Don't be too angry; your family can afford you anyway. Thesepeople are really something else - just because there were some minor accidents they fired you?Fortunately, you still have a laboratory in your hands; if this laboratory is gone too, then you'll reallybecome idle."
"You reminded me," said Alondra nodding at Presley's words,"I can collaborate with Tyrell and hiswife."
Previously, Tyrell had met them before discussing research related issues regarding new drugs aswell.
She suddenly realized something important which made sneer at herself while raising an eyebrow."When I develop new things myself, I'll see who dares look down upon me."
"The Ritter family has been completely disgraced from Urgford now. In the future, when we talkabout the four major families or the five great aristocratic families, the name of the Ritter family willnever appear again," Presley laughed uncontrollably. "The Ritters used to walk around with sucharrogance wherever they went. Now... hehe..."
"Yeah, that's right. They brought it upon themselves," Alondra sneered. "Ashlyn probably won't findanyone brave enough to marry her in the future. Which nobleman would marry someone from sucha fallen family? Our Katie has a promising future ahead of her."
"Speaking of which, Katie, do you have a crush on any boys?"
Presley winked at Katie, "If you do, Auntie can help you make a connection."
Katie was a bit bewildered. How did the conversation suddenly turn to her?
"No, no," she said hastily, getting up to leave. "Well then, Aunt Presley, Aunt Alondra, I'll be off! Icame back on leave, and I still have to shoot scenes with Larro!"
She dashed off before anyone could say anything else.
After Sylvia's surgery, she left the hospital directly and headed to the airport.
In the dim night, Samuel drove with a look of apology. "I'm sorry, boss. I didn't know you had a feudwith the Ritter family."
"It's okay," Sylvia said lightly. "The Ritter family is finished. I hope heartless businesses like theirswill be fewer in the future."
She rubbed her forehead and glanced at the swiftly passing scenery outside the window.novelbin
It was spring now, but Urgford's weather remained cold, especially at night.
Luckily, Larro had a temperate climate all year round. In terms of livability, Larro was better.
The car smoothly pulled into the airport parking lot, and Sylvia got out directly. She hadn't broughtany luggage, just a small bag.
"Alright, let's go back."
She glanced at Samuel, but he got out of the car and stood in front of her. "Boss..."
"What is it?" Sylvia looked at him, puzzled by his hesitation.
Under the gaze of her clear eyes, Samuel's heart raced. Despite his age, he still felt a bitdefenseless against the invisible aura she exuded.
"The International Medical Association is holding a grand event. Only practitioners who havepublished five or more papers in international medical journals are eligible to attend. We used tohave Alondra and now it's only you... Alondra probably can't make it now, so the chairman of ourmedical association asked me to inquire if you could guide some new researchers with their papersand also attend the medical event."
Sylvia smiled. "So it's just this? I thought it was something serious! Sure, send me their papers viaemail, and I'll take a look when I have some free time in the next few days."
"Mainly these few people, some have published three papers, some four. It would be a shame tomiss this opportunity..." Samuel said apologetically. He hadn't expected Sylvia to agree so readily.
"When is the event?" Sylvia glanced at her phone. She still had time before boarding.
She didn't mind chatting with Samuel for a little longer.
