Chapter 838 Clearing Her Name
Chapter 838 Clearing Her Name
Jude, standing beside them, was as anxious as a cat on a hot roof and kept rubbing his hands together.
"Mr. Nicholson! Boy, am I glad you're here!"
Jude was overjoyed when he saw Kingsley and said, "Look at this. What should we do in this situation? The patient's family is relentless, and Dr. Kramer… might get in trouble.
With a frown, Kingsley asked, "Did you call the police?"
"Yes, we did!" Jude nodded repeatedly. "The police said they would be here soon!"
"Then, where is the hospital's director?" Kingsley asked. "Why hasn't he shown up when something this huge has happened?"
Jude slapped his thigh.
"Director Arison is not in the hospital. Other doctors said that Director Arison left just over ten minutes ago, and we can't reach him."
"Just left?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kingsley narrowed his eyes. That seemed too coincidental.
The doctor who came to call Alice just now clearly said that the director had ordered it.
So, how could James leave first?
"Mr. Nicholson, what should we do now?" Jude was so worried that his facial features were squeezed together.
"We can't contact Director Arison, and the vice director said it wasn't his order. He told me to find Director Arison! You see, this hot potato is being passed around, and I'm the unlucky head of this department."
Kingsley ignored Jude and went to Alice instead, whispering, "Alice, what's going on?"
"I don't know..." Alice's face turned pale, and it took her a while to slowly explain. "Although I haven't had time to do an electrocardiogram, based on my experience, I can determine that his heart is fine just by using a stethoscope..."
She shook her head, and her eyes seemed confused. "But... But he suddenly died... without any warning. He just died! I don't know what happened..."
At this moment, the woman lying next to the corpse cried out hoarsely, "You don't know what happened? It's clearly because of you. Your incompetence has delayed my husband's chance of rescue. You have to take responsibility for this!"
The man next to her also said harshly, "That's right! You're a murderer! You have to pay for my brother's life. An eye for an eye!"
As soon as the words "murderer" came out, Kingsley clearly felt Alice tremble.
"Shut up!" Kingsley shouted angrily.
"The matter hasn't been investigated yet! If you dare to slander us, I will send you to see the man!"
The man and woman were slightly startled by Kingsley's imposing attitude, and even their crying stopped.
"Alice, let's leave first." Kingsley grabbed Alice's wrist. "It's unlucky to stay with a dead person!"
Seeing that it was Alice's first time encountering such a situation, she was in a daze and allowed Kingsley to lead her toward the door.
"Mr. Nicholson, where are you going?"
When Jude saw the situation, he quickly followed behind them.
He would be astounded if Alice also ran away.
Kingsley held Alice's hand and walked through the corridor to the outpatient hall. Then, the people around immediately started whispering, "Isn't this female doctor the one who just killed someone?"
"Tsk, tsk. She looks so beautiful. She must be all looks and no brain."
"I think she became a doctor by relying on her looks. Her performance might be the worst here."
Kingsley frowned and was about to ask Baron to disperse the crowd when Alice suddenly spoke up.
"No, I can't just leave like this. I didn't kill anyone. I must clear my name!"
"Alice..."
Kingsley wanted to say something but swallowed his words.
He knew Alice had always wanted to become a doctor who saved lives.
In addition, she became the attending physician at Hill Crest Hospital through her endless nights of relentless efforts.
After studying hard for more than a decade, she couldn't let her reputation be ruined so easily and for no reason.
At that moment, the two "relatives of the deceased" also rushed out of the outpatient clinic.
They pointed at Alice and shouted, "You incompetent doctor! You killed someone, and now you want to run away?"
"The body is still warm, and you, the murderer, want to escape?"
