Chapter 999
After a long stare–down, Will was the one to break the silence.
“I know you want me to go for the award, thinking that it’s a honor I deserve, but honestly, I couldn’t
care less. As long as the patients are getting better using the drugs I developed, I’m good.”
“But…”
Liana tried to say something, but Will cut her off with a laugh. “Trust me, okay? I’ve got a knack for this
drug development thing. Even if I don’t score this time, there will be a next time. As long as I stick with
medical research all my life…”
Right at that moment, the afternoon sun sneaked through the window, casting a soft golden light on
Will, making him look absolutely dazzling.
Seeing Will like this, Liana couldn’t help but feel proud. She nodded, “I believe you can develop drugs
in other fields, but your reputation…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWill caught her worry, “All I need is your trust. Fame is no big deal.”
Later on, Will and Liana discussed, “The medical system is a real can of worms, with so many people
and interests involved. We shouldn’t drag Mr. Laurence into this, nor should we pick a fight with that
expert’s student for my sake. I worry if things get out of hand, they might revoke my doctor’s license.
So, I guess I’ll stick with the pharmaceutical company. After all, I’m better at developing drugs, don’t
you think…”
Liana knew that Will really enjoyed doing surgeries, but he had a point. Given the current situation, Will
might have to take one for the team for a while, “Don’t worry, Will. I’ll find the evidence to clear your
name. Then, you can return to this hospital with your head held high.”
Will smiled and nodded, then returned to his office under Liana’s watchful eyes. As he packed his stuff,
the other doctors kept their distance and stayed silent. It was only after Will left that they started
chattering.
Will didn’t let it bother him. He walked out of the hospital with a box in his arms, got into his car, and
took one last look at the outpatient clinic. Liana was standing there in her lab coat under the scorching
sun, watching him from afar.
Will’s eyes welled up with tears, but he didn’t roll down his window to wave goodbye to Liana. Because
of Tyler’s presence, they were just colleagues for now. Until Tyler was out of the picture, any closeness
or attachment Will showed would only hurt Liana.
He always knew how to restrain himself, to respect and protect her. But in the end, he lost Liana, and
he lost his job. But if Will was asked if he regretted anything, he would definitely say no. Since the
moment he first saw Liana at the lecture, he had decided to give it
his all.
Bernard was informed about the hospital incident a bit later. To appease the student patient, the
hospital announced the disciplinary action first. Bernard didn’t interfere with hospital matters. All
hospital managers had the right to decide on such actions by voting, even the dean couldn’t decide on
his own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter getting a full picture of the situation, Bernard sent Aidyn to conduct an investigation. Their
conclusion was the same as Liana’s, suspecting Yeager, because it was too much of a coincidence.
But their suspicion wasn’t evidence, they couldn’t just act against Yeager, they could only get close to
Yeager and investigate quietly.
After making arrangements, Bernard called Will, offering him a job at the Laurence Group’s
pharmaceutical company to focus on drug development, promising that he would find out the truth to
clear his name. Will thanked Bernard for his trust, promising to develop more drugs to bring glory to the
Laurence Group’s pharmaceutical company.
After hanging up the phone, Liana also thanked Bernard. Bernard suggested that the hospital was
huge and needed management, hoping that Liana could take on more responsibilities. Liana
understood and accepted Bernard’s instruction not to tell Hailey and Eleanor about this prematurely.
Agreeing with a nod, Liana understood.
