“Get out of here!”
Baylor snagged an object from his bedside table and threw it at Sasha. In the next second, a crash rang out.
If she hadn’t dodged in time, it would’ve hit her.
Argh! He’s taking this too far! Does he think he can simply insult someone just because he has a powerful family behind him?
Sasha was livid.
Without another word, she spun on her heels and stalked off as he wished.
Ten minutes later, the director headed toward her while she was in the on-call room. Seeing that, she calmly put down her name tag and stethoscope.
“Dr. West…”
Hazel, who knew about the incident, had kept Sasha company for the past ten minutes. Upset by the director’s presence, she gave the latter a hug to offer her moral support.
In response, Sasha patted her to indicate that she was fine.
Baylor’s tantrum didn’t bother her. Even if she was terminated from the job, she could just ask Grayson to drive her back to Oceanic Estate later.
Finally, the director came into the on-call room
“Did the patient in Room 16 haul you over the coals earlier, Macy?”
Sasha got to her feet at once. “About that-”
“He came to me just now and asked me to convey his apologies to you. He said he was too impulsive and shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum. Why don’t you go and look in on him? I prescribed him some medicine this morning, but I haven’t handed them in yet.”
After saying that, the man gave her a few medical reports and some prescriptions.
Sasha was entirely floored.
Beside her, Hazel likewise gaped at their superior with disbelief written all over her face.
Is this for real? The high and mighty heir of the White family has apologized? Are we hearing things?
Everyone in the room couldn’t quite believe their ears.
“Macy, I think someone must have hit him pretty hard on the head. You will not be dismissed! That’s great news!” Hazel surmised and congratulated Sasha after the director left.
Sasha, however, was caught between laughter and tears.
What’s fantastic about being a rich heir? As doctors, we must be grateful when men like him admit their mistakes and thank our lucky stars when he doesn’t demand for our dismissal.
She went back to the ward with the prescriptions.
Sure enough, the pale-faced Baylor averted his gaze in embarrassment when Sasha entered the room.
After all, he was in his prime.
“How could you be so pessimistic? There’ll be more delicious food for you in the future. How about this? When you’re cleared to eat solid foods, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll buy it for you.”
“Really?”
His eyes instantly lit up from the promise.
“Of course. Don’t worry. I’ll buy it personally for you this time. However, you’ve got to be cooperative and stay on the treatment plan,” she coaxed her patient like a child.
He was only in his early twenties, several years younger than her.
Finally, exuberance infused Baylor.
In the following days, he stopped throwing tantrums and cooperated with the hospital’s treatment plan docilely. That made Sasha’s job easier too.
Meanwhile, Vivian behaved particularly well recently. Contrary to her persisting reluctance to attend school, the little girl got up earlier to wake Sasha so her mother could send her to school.
Vivian would run into the school happily as though she was a changed person.
Hmm? Could it be that this daughter of mine has had a personality change? Is she also aiming to be a top scorer now?
Unbridled joy flooded Sasha, and she couldn’t help wanting to share it with someone.
