Chapter 71
The nurse’s eyes lit up, and she was pleased, “Really? Thank you, darling!” As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Joel’s neck
Joel tore at her clothes, wanting to take things further. Just then, the door opened.
There was some noise outside. Joel was clearly unhappy at being interrupted. He stopped whatever he was doing.
In a frosty tone, he asked, “Who’s there? Don’t you know you should knock before entering my office? Where are your mann
Before he could finish his sentence, he looked up and was dumbfounded. “D–Dr. Clarke.”
Joel thought it was a thoughtless nurse who forgot to knock before entering. He didn’t expect to see the director who was always occupied with work
Regaining his senses, he immediately straightened out his clothes.
Hubert had gone red with anger. Right now, he felt extremely embarrassed. The nurse was so frightened that she dared not utter a word.
“Dr. Clarke, why have you come? What happened?” After adjusting his clothes, Joel hurried forward. He seemed to feel awkward.
He swept his glance at those who entered. Upon seeing Celeste and the officers behind Hubert, he had a bad feeling.
The officers stepped forward and brandished their badges. “We’ve received a call about Mrs. Hilton’s transfer from this hospital without valid reasons. Please cooperate with the investigation, Dr. Lynch
Joel’s expression changed. He didn’t expect this matter to escalate to the extent where I Hubert would be involved. He calmed himself down and respectfully invited them into his office.
Hubert asked, “Joel, what’s going on? Why did you agree to the transter without getting consent from Miranda’s family? If anything happens, can you shoulder the responsibility?”
Joel immediately explained, “Dr. Clarke, that person claimed to be Miranda’s husband. He had the documents, and the procedures were carried out accordingly. I have proof too.”
Celeste smiled sarcastically at his explanation. “My inom doesn’t have a husband. I’m her only family.”
“B–But I went through the proper procedures. Dr. Clarke, officers, I don’t know Miranda, Why would I help others to transfer her for no reason?”
As they confronted, sweat had covered foel’s forehead. He tried his best to calm down.
At that moment, Michael appeared. “Dr. Lynch, are you sure you went through the proper procedures?”
Celeste was stunned when she saw Michael.
The look in Joel’s eyes changed, and he felt even more uneasy. “Michael, what’s wrong?”
Michael handed the folder he held to Hubert. After opening it, Hubert saw photos of Joel meeting up with Ethan in a cafe. There was also an image of Erhan handing money to Joel.
“Dr. Lynch, you said you went through the proper procedures. But why did you meet Ethan a day before you transferred Miranda? And why did he give you so much money?”
Joel instantly paled. Where did Michael get those photos from?
Michael continued, “I’ve looked into it. You and Ethan were never acquainted before that. Besides, you must inform the patient’s caregiver before transferring the patient to another place. Did you inform Ms. Hart?
“she came here to know what happened, but you asked the guards to remove her. That’s not how the hospital handles things, right?”
