The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 163

Ferris had actually been hauled to the Administration Wing for questioning by The Medical Board.

The news sent a massive shockwave through Capital General. Rumors spread like wildfire, putting everyone on edge, and a heavy cloud of anxiety settled over the Department of Anesthesiology.

There were even whispers that the Thorne Family had retained a top-tier legal team to sue both the hospital and Ferris.

Medical disputes were common, but something of this explosive scale was entirely unprecedented.

Thinking about Ferris being dragged away, a knot of dread tightened in my stomach.

Shortly after, Dr. Logan called an emergency department meeting, gathering all the medical staff who had interacted with Beatrice Thorne into the conference room.

He got straight to the point the moment he sat down. "I'm sure you all know the higher-ups are investigating the Beatrice Thorne incident. This doesn't just concern Neurosurgery; it affects Anesthesiology too. I expect everyone to watch their mouths and behave appropriately in the coming days."

Amber, always blunt, spoke up. "Dr. Logan, are we going to get called in for questioning?"

"Just for routine cooperation. However, every word uttered by anyone in this room reflects on our department." Dr. Logan paused, his gaze hardening. "So you all better use some common sense about what to say and what to keep to yourselves."

As he finished his sentence, his eyes locked dead on me. "Especially those who had repeated contact with the patient. Think before you speak. Do not drag this department through the mud."

He might as well have pointed a finger directly at my face.

But looking at the bigger picture, with Capital General's star surgeon currently under interrogation, Dr. Logan’s harsh warnings were somewhat understandable.

Besides, I hadn't even stepped foot inside Beatrice's operating room; my duties were strictly post-op. Even if the board dug deep, the blame wouldn't fall on me.

That thought brought me a measure of peace.
