Chapter 120 120. Sad News π§rπ²πππ¦ππoΞ½πl.ππΌm
After undergoing a thorough examination of Leaβs condition, doctor Kim and Clara had a discussion. All examination results stated only one thing. Lea couldnβt continue her pregnancy unless she wanted to give up her own life.
This was of course very painful. Even if the baby survived, the chances would be very small. Of course, Lea would feel very sad. Not just Lea, but everyone involved, including Dave and Clara.
For Clara, she had to be prepared for the fact that Dave was forced to reassure his parents about the problem of their biological grandchild. Could she let him get another woman pregnant again?
Of course, Dave didnβt have to plant his seeds naturally. He could seek medical treatment for help, by doing the fertilization process in the laboratory. However, Clara would still feel uneasy if her husbandβs seed fertilized another womanβs egg.
Clara gulped. What is the best way to convey this sad truth to Lea? Would she tell Lea without sugarcoating it? Or, could she tell her in another way? Even if it was covered with ten kilograms of sugar it would not be able to hide the bitter taste of this news.
βHow about you are the one who tells her about the results? I β¦ canβt seem to do this,β Clara said, handing the papers back to doctor Kim. βAfter all, this is an uncomfortable task for me.β
Doctor Kim gave Clara a flat look. βDo you know why I asked you to work on Leaβs case?β asked doctor Kim in a cold and slow tone, maybe a little mixed with feeling disappointed with Claraβs decision.
Clara shook her head because she didnβt know what Doctor Kim meant. βNo idea,β she answered stiffly.
Doctor Kim smiled bitterly. βDo I look like I need an assistant?β asked doctor Kim again with a wry smile. Her hands were raised, letting Clara know that she had mistaken her. Doctor Kim doesnβt need an assistant at all.
.....
βThen why did you ask me to help you with Leaβs case?β Clara asked again. fπ―β―eπβ―πππ¨Ρ΅el.cππ¦
βThis is all because Lea was the first person to surprise me. It turns out that you can also be unprofessional,β doctor Kim said, emphasizing every word. βEveryone knows that you want to be rewarded by getting a career according to your abilities even though you are the daughter of this hospital owner.β
Claraβs throat constricted, unable to say anything in response. Indeed, working at her own parentsβ place was certainly relatively easy. But, unfortunately, when she was about to ask permission to move to San Francisco, her father didnβt allow her to do that. Her father only allowed her to work in town, at their familyβs hospital.
What happens if a business tycoonβs beloved daughter chose to work in another hospital? What was wrong with her family hospital?
Hospital images could be very tarnished. Unpleasant issues would be exhaled by competitors. Doctors and new patients would be reluctant to come.
Because of that reason, Clara tried to be professional and didnβt want to be differentiated from other doctors. If the boss was angry, she would accept it gracefully. If she made a mistake, she was also willing to accept the punishment. However, it turned out that doctor Kim realized that all of these things changed when Clara faced Lea.
βWhen working with Lea, itβs like you want to use all the privileges you can get in this hospital. You must have a duality between you as doctor Decker and the Young Lady of the Decker family who is known to be spoiled and arrogant,β said Doctor Kim again. She looked at Clara with a piercing gaze.
Clara remembered how she put Lea in the best room at the hospital even though Leaβs insurance couldnβt possibly cover it. She also βforcedβ doctor Kim to work overtime because she was worried about the safety of Leaβs life and her baby. Many other things would tarnish Claraβs reputation.
βIf you canβt tell this news to a patient because of your personal dealings with her, donβt expect that youβll be able to become the great doctor you want to be. You can go back to your motherβs embrace and replace your doctorβs coat with a pantsuit as an heiress of your motherβs hospital,β added doctor Kim again. βPerhaps, your place is not in the operating room, but in the meeting room to discuss the profit and loss of the hospital and how to attract sympathy so that more people come here for their health treatment.β
Doctor Kim then packed her things without being asked. She quickly picked up all the essential books and notes, then put them into the box she had prepared.
Clara, who had been daydreaming, realized instantly when doctor Kim said goodbye to her. Of course, this made her very panicked.
βWait, what are you doing? Why did you pack your belongings and take them away?β Clara asked wide-eyed. βWho fired you?β
βI resigned before I was fired,β said doctor Kim indifferently.
βWho would want to fire you?β asked Clara again with acute astonishment.
βDidnβt I just talk bad to you? No, maybe I β¦ mock you,β answered doctor Kim, making Claraβs face red with annoyance.
She then snatched the papers from doctor Kim and muttered, βIβm going to meet Lea! I will comply. So, you canβt leave this hospital.β
Who wanted to lose the best obstetrician in this hospital? Even in this town. If doctor Kim resigned and Claraβs father asked the doctor if the reason for her leaving was his daughter, it was certain that she would be grounded and would never be allowed to work again.
Clara then left doctor Kim. She walked down the quiet and lonely hospital corridor, towards Leaβs comfortable room.
Clara knocked on the door and greeted the occupants of the room. βAm I bothering you?β asked Clara in a polite tone that was too strange for Leaβs ears.
βAh, come in,β said Lea, surprised. She was reading a book while munching sweet grapes that were in season.
Lea took a tissue to quickly clean her hands and mouth, then threw it in the trash bin. She then welcomed Clara into her room, sitting on the patientβs bed with a tense face.
Clara was no less awkward. The sweet words she had just rehearsed in her head had just evaporated.
βLeaβ¦β Clara suddenly stopped. She didnβt have the heart to continue. Her eyes met Leaβs frightened eyes. βSadly, we suggest you do an early delivery immediately.β
