Chapter 64
“Dr Olson, are you trying to apologize to me? Forget about apologizing. Let’s just pretend nothing happened.”
Leroy was taken aback by her words.
Zoe stepped forward, her voice sharp. “Scarlett, do you even have a conscience? Mr. Olson didn’t have any surgeries yesterday. He stayed in the emergency room. because he heard you were in trouble.”
“So, what are you implying by this?”
Zoe couldn’t understand why Scarlett seemed to feel no shame.

Scarlett laughed in response to Zoe’s question. “Shouldn’t I be reacting this way? Why was Dr. Olson there? Isn’t it because of him that I ended up in an accident?” As Scarlett spoke, Leroy’s expression shifted instantly, a trace of disappointment flickening across his face. It seemed that Zoe had hit the nail on the head.
The first thing Scarlett did upon waking up was place the blame on hint
Zoe was taken aback but pressed on “Scarlett, the reason Mr. Olson was there was to tell you that Cedric had been pretending all along, and you were the only one fooled.
“Cedric wasn’t injured last night–he faked that leg injury to deceive you. You’re the only one still naïve enough to believe him.”
Zoe felt a pang of anxiety, but she knew Scarlett wouldn’t believe her words now. Scarlett simply stated at Leroy, as if silently questioning him.
Leroy gave a slight nod. “I checked the records, and there’s no information on him.”
Scarlett scoffed.

With that, Leroy turned and walked aw would be grateful
Scarlett frowned as Leroy walked out, and Zoe let out a helpless sigh
“Look, if you want to be discharged, it’ll be at least two weeks.”
If Zoe hadn’t been on duty, she would have definitely given Scarlett a piece of her mind. Leroy had gone to such lengths, yet t Scarlett still wasn’t satisfied. Once Leroy was gone, Scarlett sighed. Had she made a mistake?
Just then, Grace called. “I heard you’ve woken up. Are you okay?” Her voice was filled with concem.
Scarlett responded coldly
“Lettie, did you have a fight with Dr. Olson? You sound upset.
After a brief pause, Scarlett sighed. “I’m fine. Anyway, have you heard from the board?
Grace replied immediately, “You’re right. The board wants you back as soon as possible. But since you’ve been hospitalized, they’re planning to find a temporary replacement. Do you have anyone in mind?
Scarlett replied, “I can’t be discharged until the end of the month. What about Cedric? Do you think he’s suitable?”
As soon as Scarlett finished, Grace fell silent. Upon hearing Grace hesitate, Scarlett sensed that she was probably trying to find reasons to disagree.
But to Scarlett’s surprise, Grace finally agreed “Since you have so much faith in Cedric, let’s give him a chance. But the board won’t be easily convinced.”
Grace’s tone softened. Since Scarlett had so much faith in Cedric, she decided to let him take a shot at it. If he upset the board, Scarlett would soon see just how capable Cedric truly was.
