Chapter 260 I Don't Want To Say Anything
Anna, on the other hand, looked arrogant.
Nancy sat down.
"Director Nancy, I..." Jessie raised her head. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped on a second thought.
Tears were welling up in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Director Jessie? Just say it," Nancy replied.
"Director Nancy, I want to apologize to you. I have done a lot of things that I shouldn't have done. I hope you can forgive me. I know I was wrong." The shame Jessie was feeling made it hard for her to look Nancy in the eyes.
But her tears were enough to prove that she was sincere.
In fact, Jessie had been reflecting on herself these days. For so long, she had been against Nancy. To the point where she even tried to use Anna to pin her down. But it came out that she just lifted a stone to hit her own feet.
She thought she was shrewd, but her shrewdness seemed to be meaningless now.
If she could turn back time, she would try her best to be a good doctor like Nancy. But it was too late to regret now!
It was the first time for Jessie to speak genuinely to her. Nancy was not used to it.
"Director Jessie, please don't say that. We are colleagues, and it's inevitable for us to have conflicts and disagreements. But we all want what's best for our job. I like how hard-working and diligent you are. Of course, we will work together in the future, and help more patients," said Nancy sincerely.
Jessie sighed and shook her head. Sadness crossed her eyes. "It's too late. I have no chance now."
Surprised with what she said, Nancy asked, "Why did you say that?"
Anna cast a scornful glance at Jessie and said, "You deserve it, don't you?"
"Dr. Anna, you've gone too far. I'm not as vicious as you!" Since Anna didn't stand in her side, of course, Jessie wouldn't let her go.
"That's enough. I have something to announce to everyone, so listen carefully. As doctors, our patients should be our number one priority. We have to serve and take care of them. I think you will understand such a simple reason. But it's horrible to think that some people will do things even though they know it's wrong, for their own benefit. That disappoints the patients, our colleagues and even the public!" Hobart's words were fierce, which rarely happened.
He had always been a gentle person. It could be seen that the matter was very serious.
Nancy guessed that it must have something to do with Jessie.
Feeling humiliated, Jessie lowered her head.
While Anna kept her chin up and looked at her disdainfully.
Nancy's expression was as calm as the spring breeze. After all, everything had nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to stay out of the matter and not cause herself any trouble.
Hobart distributed the information about Jessie's wrong deeds to the doctors.
Then there was a hiss from the crowd.
"Who is this? How dare this person do such a thing?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of it."
"Stop it. The news had spread like a wildfire in the hospital this morning. Why are you still pretending not to know? Is it interesting?"
With that being said, everyone's eyes fell on Jessie.
Her face turned pale, as if she wanted to find a hole to hide herself.
"I was so poor during those two years," she muttered in a low voice, admitting her greed for money before.
"No matter how poor you are, you can't do anything against your conscience or professional ethics. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price and accept the punishment. This is an eternal principle No one can escape this rule!" Hobart said angrily.
"Yes, President Hobart is right. As a doctor, we must think about our patients. I have always done this. I believe that most doctors do this, right, Director Nancy?" Anna's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Instead of saying anything, Nancy just smiled at her.
"Dr. Anna is right. I hope everyone can remember that our mission is to save lives and heal the wounded, not to make a fortune. It's very obvious. We have to discipline ourselves. Doctor is a noble profession. People put their trust on us. We can't fail them, right?" Hobart could only hope that everyone had the same passion fortheir profession.
"Yes, President Hobart is right."
"Yes, we all understand that,"
everyone echoed.
Nancy was buried in her own thoughts. The content of the paper in front of her was completely the same as that of the small notebook. Finally, she had realized what was happening.
It must be Charles! But why didn't he discuss it with her first? Why did he tell Hobart without telling her?
Now, Anna got what she wanted, which was to replace Jessie.
She was so angry that she didn't hear what Hobart said next.
Her hands formed into fists when she remembered the tears in Jessie's eyes and the smug look of Anna.
Before Anna left the room, she smiled at Nancy. "It's time to leave, Director Nancy."
But she didn't say anything, nor did she want to.
She was just a director and couldn't say too much in front of Hobart. There were two reasons. One was that she couldn't change anything, and the other was that Jessie had indeed made a mistake. But to have Jessie suspended and investigated seemed a bit too much.
After the crowd dispersed, only Nancy and Hobart were left in the meeting room.
"Director Nancy, do you have any problem with my decision? Why are you still here?" Hobart asked in surprise.
"President Hobart, I have no objection to Director Jessie's punishment. But she has been working in the pediatric department for so many years, and no one can replace her position for the time being. She is experienced, so I still want you to consider asking her to return all the money to keep her job," said Nancy thoughtfully.
"I also know that Director Jessie has worked hard in the pediatric department over the years, although she was greedy and she likes money. She deserved her punishment." Hobart rubbed his hands and embarrassedly added, "It's not my personal decision to suspend her for investigation. Mr. Fu said that we should severely punish irresponsible doctors, and I can only follow his advice. I think he's right. As a doctor, you can't make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you should be reprimanded."
It was indeed Charles' idea.
With a nod, she stood up to walk out of the room.
While walking behind her, Hobart said, "Director Nancy, you don't have to feel sorry for Director Jessie. I think Dr. Anna is qualified to be the director of the First Pediatric Department. We just need to work hard Don't worry about other things."
Nancy stopped and turned her head. "I see, President Hobart."
Despite what she said, she still felt uncomfortable.
