Divorce never felt so good Novel by Adina Goodwill

Chapter 26 Through Layla had suggested the idea , she knew full well it was just a way to avoid taking responsibility .

After all , Julian had been very clear- sa , even though she knew that Samuels frail body couldnt handle the effects of the cardiac stimulant and that one shot would essentially seal his -the will went ahead with the decision At this moment , Julian stood silently , has brow furrowed , his cold , emotionless gaze giving nothing away .

There wasnt a hint of thought or feeling in his eyes .

Isis sneered , If you dont have anything useful to add , then keep your opinions to yourself .

Layla froze , feeling the sting of hiss forceful attitude .

Robert had overheard Isiss words .

The accusation that Layla was killing Samuel made his heart skip a brat .

That was dangerous territory if Julian believed it , both St.

Stephen Hospital and his position as director could be in serious jeopardy .

Without wasting a moment , Robert darkened his face , and he turned to Layla with a stern expression .

Dr.

Wilson , apologize to this young lady .

Youre being completely unreasonabler He wanted to put an end to this quickly , before it escalated any further .

But Layla , still in shock , shot back , Why should I apologize ? Robert was left speechless .

He thought , Laylas emotional intelligence is practically nonexistent Doesnt she realize Lam trying to protect her ! Her stubbornness has almost cost Samuel his life , and yet Julian hasnt even brought it up .

Why cant she just let it go ? Robert couldnt handle this he was completely out of his depth ..

Isis looked at Layla with open disdain .

As a doctor , you hold your patients life in your hands .

Saving lives is your duty , not playing fast and loose with them .

But youre treating life as if its disposable , and you dont even recognize the problem with that .

You you … Layla trembled with rage , her face flushed with anger How dare you accuse me like this ? My decision was backed by the hospital , and even Dr.

Campbell agreed ! Roberts eyes went wide .

What Nonsense ! When did I ever agree to that ? He thought , Is she trying to drag me down with her ? Layla realized the couldnt admit to anything absolutely not so she stubbornly held her ground .

Dont slander me ! My approach was the best way to save Samuel ! Isis spoke calmly .

Whether it was right or wrong you know the truth in your heart .

Her composed , unruffled tone stood in sharp p contrast to Laylas frantic , desperate behavior .

The stark difference between the two left Adrian feeling uneasy .

This was nothing like what he had imagined .

He had expected Isis , a mere housewife , to be overshadowed by the successful Layla But now it was Layla who was visibly flustered , while Isis remained unerly calm and collected .

Something felt off .

He thought .

This isnt right ! Its too noisy Julians voice suddenly cut through the tension , cold and sharp .

He hadnt spoken a word until now , but those words were enough to bring total silence to the room His brow furrowed deeper , his voice as frigid as ice .

Thirty seconds .

Get rid of this noisy crow .

Yes , sir ! With that , Layla was quickly and ruthlessly dragged away .

She stood frozen in shock , her eyes wide in disbelief .

She thought , A crow ? Is he referring to me ? Roberts heart skipped a beat .

He thought , Am I next ? Would I be the next to disappear ? But Julian didnt even glance at him .

Instead , he turned directly to Isis , his voice softer than before .

Go change first .

Ill go with you His paused for a moment .

His words sounded strange .

It was their first meeting , yet the way he spoke made it seem as though they were old friends But then she realized they hadnt yet discussed her treatment fee for Samuel .

He definitely couldnt leave just yet .

1/2 Chapter 26 Tuurslided , and the two wo of them walked out , one ahead , the other following As they passed a nervous Robert , Julians cold voice rang out .

St.

Stephen Hospital isnt what it used to be Those few words made Roben freeze in place , his heart pounding .

When Michael came out of his office , he saw Robert standing there , pale and stummed .

Thinking about the events outside the operating room .

Micharl called Robert into his office He asked .

That Layla shes the exceptional doctor you recruited , right ? Robert was taken aback .

He thought , Michael hasnt been involved in hospital affairs for years .

Why is he suddenly asking about personnel ? After all , although Michael was the highest authority at Sans Cary Hospital , he was a very low profile figure .

He cared primarily about treating patients , while hospital management and external relations were handled by the executive vice director his job Robert answered honestly , Yes , she just returned from studying abroad .

During her time overseas , she achieved exceptional results .

You could say shes extremely capable .

Oh ? Michaels interest seemed piqued .

Tell me more .

What makes her so outstanding ! Robert thought that Michael might be genuinely interested .

After all , Layla was a rare talent , and they had worked hard to bring her in With confidence , Robert replied , She specializes in Stream Cut techniques .

Apart from you , shes the only one in the hospital who can perform this procedure , which is why we were so eager to bring her on We were planning for her to do a six month internship before promoting her directly to head of cardiothoracic surgery Michael didnt seem overly interested in the rest of the details , but when he heard about Laylas expertise with the Stream Cut , his interest clearly sharpened .

Is she really skilled with the Stream Cur Michael himself had never claimed to be a master of the technique .

In fact , only one person had truly mastered it but unfortunately , that person was no longer around .

However , today , Michael had discovered someone else who could be called an expert : Isis , Robert nodded firmly .

Yes , absolutely .

We even have records from other hospitals where shes performed surgeries using the technique .

Michael believed him and asked .

Do you know who she learned it from ? The Stream Cur technique wasnt something that could be picked up from textbooks .

It had to be taught hands on , and very few doctors had mastered it .

Michael himself had learned it from someone years ago .

For years , he had been looking for someone who could learn it and carry on the tradition .

But it was difficult .

The technique required certain innate qualities , and most doctors just didnt have the physical capability , Robert shook his head .

Im not sure .

But since shes now working in the hospital , well have plenty of opportunities to ask .

Michael sighed .

There are very few doctors in the country who can perform the Stream Cut technique .

Having someone with this skill at our hospital is a great asset .

If we could find out who mentored her , maybe we could track them down and train more doctors in this technique .

Roben nodded in agreement .

He understood that Michael valued talent .

However .

Michaels tone shifted , his eyes narrowing sharply .

Was it her who suggested using the cardiac stimulant today ? 2/2 E
