Chapter 435
In the restaurant, Leah’s anger from the previous day had vanished as she looked at Hugo. She
suddenly felt much better.
“How have you been, Leah?”
Leah lowered her face shyly. “I’ve been quite well. The hospital promoted me to a manager, so I’mnovelbin
catching up to you.” She had aspirations of working alongside him and becoming a great doctor.
“But I’m not a doctor anymore.” Hugo sighed, his disappointment evident.
“What?” Leah couldn’t believe that the man she had been pursuing had given up his passion for
medicine. “Why?”
“Because… Rick and Pearl hate me, and to avoid them, I had to sell my hospital and work for a
different company.” With just a few sentences, Hugo managed to paint the image of a young man who
had been wronged by his brother and future sister-in-
law
Leah wholeheartedly believed him. As she gazed at his handsome face, her heart ached, and she felt a
deep sense of indignation “Don’t worry too much about it. Someone will help you reclaim what you’ve
lost!”
Hugo knew his manipulation was working, so he smiled and nodded. “It’s fine. I’ve gotten used to it.
Besides, I’ve come to terms with reality.”
“Why should you just go along with their wishes? I thought Rick was a good person, but he’s helping
that woman bully you!” Leah’s anger intensified as she spoke.
“Do you have any issues with Pearl?” Hugo sensed the intense dislike from Leah, which was exactly
what he had hoped for.
Leah exploded at the mention of Pearl. “When we were studying abroad, I was the one who found
Simon Freeman first, but he chose Pearl over me. He said they were destined to meet. I think Pearl
bribed him. I can’t stand her at all!”
Hugo muttered, “That’s great…”
Leah didn’t hear his comment clearly and asked, “What?”
“Nothing Let’s finish up here, Leah. If you ever face any mistreatment, don’t keep it to yourself. Let me
know,” Hugo said with a reassuring smile.
Leah was delighted to hear that. “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully me. And you shouldn’t let anyone
push you around either!”
With his mission accomplished, Hugo didn’t say anything more to her. He simply smiled and left.
Leah clenched her fist as she watched him walk away, determined to protect Hugo from anyone who
tried to bully him.
The next day, Leah received a summons to the hospital director’s office.
“I have a question for you, Leah,” the director said, his voice low.
Leah noticed that he was in a bad mood. “What is it?”
“Did something happen between you and the patient in room 360? They’ve sent over two plaques.”
“Plaques?” Leah’s anxiety grew because she knew something was amiss, having witnessed the events
of the previous day. The director scoffed. “See for yourself!”
Leah looked at the plaques, and her face turned pale. The first one read: “Miss Pearl, the best doctor,”
while the other one said: “Why hasn’t Leah Moore retired yet?”
