After saying that, I suddenly felt weak all over, as if all my strength had been drained away. If Doctor Davis hadn't held me up in time, I wouldn't have been able to stand. Sweat was dripping down my forehead, but Henry mistakenly thought that this was a sign of my fear of being exposed.
We looked into each other's eyes. He remained silent, but his eyes were like sharp swords, cutting my heart. I raised my chin stubbornly and let his fists clench and unclench. Finally, he taunted, " Grace , your love really makes me sick." It turned out that he had always known about my feelings for him. However , he chose to bring Dawn into my clinic at this time . His intentions were self-evident at this moment. My pale face lost even more color under his taunting. Doctor Davis held my hand and unconsciously increased his strength: "Henry, Grace didn't lie to you, she really..."
Before he finished speaking, Henry had already left, and the words he left behind disappeared in the corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant. Doctor Davis asked me with red eyes: "Grace, that child..."
I pulled the corners of my mouth slightly, followed Henry 's back, and said lightly: "It's just an unwelcome child." Doctor Davis is a smart man, and didn't ask any more questions.
That night, I spent it in the office. The next morning at 8 o'clock, my colleagues asked me to go to the dean's office. On the way to the office, many people pointed at me, and I knew that the video had become a hot topic.
"How could she, a doctor, do such a thing?" "Who knows? Maybe she can't have children herself, so she's jealous of other pregnant women!" "Bah, people like this deserve to never have children in this life!"
How could I not feel bad when being cursed like that? But I walked to the dean's office expressionlessly and found Henry and Dawn waiting for me. The half-open door did not block the discussion, Henry heard it clearly.
In the past, when someone criticized me as a left-behind child and said that I was a bastard abandoned by my parents, Henry would stand up for me with red eyes and teach those gossipers a lesson. But now, he just watched me being ridiculed and cursed indifferently.
The dean coughed lightly and motioned for me to close the door. But those words were already deeply engraved in my heart.
"Grace, this incident has a huge impact. You should first apologize to the patient," said the dean.
Henry hugged the weak Dawn, his eyes full of love and care. When Dawn looked at me with her red and swollen eyes, there was a hint of provocation and pride.
I stayed up all night, checking all the possibilities, and now I am 100% sure that Dawn stole my medicine and put it in her own medicine bag.
" I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?" I said firmly, "As a doctor, I didn't save her baby, and I have already apologized. But I will not apologize for something I didn't do."
The dean didn't expect that I, who was always docile, would be so stubborn at this moment. He sighed and bowed to Henry and Dawn to apologize on my behalf. Seeing the white-haired dean bowing his head for me, my nose was sore again.
I turned and glared at Henry, and he gave me a faint sneer in response. This smile was not at all inconsistent with his usual gentle manner.
"Dean, I was entrusted by Grace's parents and I am also her half guardian. She made such a big mistake and deserves to be punished." Henry said.
Under the so-called conclusive evidence, even if the dean wanted to protect me, he could do nothing. I was suspended from work and forced to apologize to Dawn again. She took a step back hypocritically: " Grace , I hope you can turn back from your mistakes."
The smile on her lips was meaningful.
