He Watched Me Shine Without Him novel Chapter 107

"Dr. Marshall, Dr. Ethan asked us to come find you," the patients said.

Rose replied, "The hospital didn't notify me to cover his shift. If you want to see me, please go to the registration desk and change your appointment."

The patients grumbled in discontent, and some began to call the hospital to file complaints.

Rose, however, remained indifferent throughout, like an outsider, completely uninvolved in Ethan's mess.

Ethan had rushed home in a panic, only to receive a furious call from the hospital director, "Ethan, where were you during work hours? Your patients are complaining about your dereliction of duty..."

Ethan was stunned, weakly protesting, "Director, I asked Dr. Marshall to cover my shift."

Covering shifts was technically against hospital policy, but it was a common practice among doctors who had emergencies. As long as nothing went wrong, the administration usually turned a blind eye. However, Ethan's situation was more serious because multiple patients had filed complaints.

It slowly dawned on Ethan, "Dr. Marshall didn't cover my shift?"

The director roared over the phone, "Ethan, the complaints have reached the dean's office. Do you have any idea how serious this is?"

Ethan swallowed hard, his face turning pale.

For someone like me, with no powerful connections, landing a job at Crestview Health Institute had been a hard-won achievement, one that had cost me my first love. If I lost my job now, all my efforts would be in vain. I simply couldn't afford such a consequence.

Grace had been eagerly waiting for Ethan to return and take Vivian to the hospital. Seeing him standing there in a daze, completely ignoring Vivian's cries, her frustration boiled over.

"Ethan, what are you doing just standing there? Hurry up, Vivian is about to give birth."

Ethan snapped back to reality, frantically helping Vivian into the car and rushing her to the emergency room.

After handing Vivian over to the doctors, Ethan's mind immediately turned to his job. He anxiously said to Vivian's mother, "Mom, I left the hospital without permission and got complained about. I need to go handle this."

Grace was exasperated. "Why didn't you ask for leave before coming home?"

Ethan replied dejectedly, "I asked Rose to cover my shift, but she..." His voice trailed off.

Grace was furious. "How could Rose be so unreliable? She's practically trying to ruin you."
