Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 58

When Dr. Crowell called me into his office the last time, I had already seen it coming. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

After packing up my things, I headed home. I neatly placed the letters of appreciation in the storage room and put away the rest of my belongings.

"Mom. Yes, I'm coming home today."

I got a call from Mom, and we chatted for a while.

After thinking it over, I sent a message to Kourtney, letting her know not to wait for me for dinner. Once that was taken care of, I returned home.

The housekeeper had prepared dinner, and Mom was waiting for me in the living room. Dad was reading, but his eyes kept drifting toward the door.

"My son!"

As soon as Mom saw me, she rushed over and hugged me tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"That department head is such a jerk! You're an outstanding doctor, and he should be grateful to have you working there! How dare he suspend you? What gives him the right to treat you like that? And the patient's family, how can they blame you? Just because you're a doctor, does that mean you can save everyone? Look at what they did to you! How dare they hit you?"

Mom was really upset. I gently patted her, trying to calm her down. "It's nothing, Mom. They're just superficial injuries. I'm a doctor, so I know what's serious and what's not."

Mom started crying again.

My parents had always kept a close eye on my situation. Whenever there were changes at the hospital, they were always the first to know.

Although my parents had always said they didn't want me to continue working as a doctor, when they heard I had actually resigned, they both looked at me with concern.

"The hospital director's personal life is a mess, and the hospital is full of politics. Honestly, it's probably better to stay away from a place like that," Dad said, setting down his newspaper and looking at me intently.
