Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 55

Lauren POV

Mila said with a long face, "Sam, do you have any idea what you're talking about?"

"I know," Sam seemed to think he was being the hero here and looked at me condescendingly before he raised his voice and continued, "during these days, Dr. Blanco's personal affairs have a negative impact on the hospital, and no matter why, she shouldn't have involved her personal matters into her work, not to mention she has harmed our hospital's reputation A nurse nodded, "Yeah, they've come here and made a scene several times because of Dr. Blanco."

Someone whispered, "And she's not alpha Manuel's daughter anymore. She left the Blanco family and we don't need to tolerate her anymore."

Seeing that they were backing him up, Sam became more confident and started accusing me, "And this is a hospital, not a press conference. If Dr. Blanco keeps working here, she'll disrupt all the patients."

Mila was so mad that she laughed, "So just because some people came to pick up fights, you wanna get rid of Dr. Blanco?"

Sam argued, "Miss Mila, we know you're friends with Dr. Blanco but you can't play favorites here. If you insist on defending her, then we have to leave this hospital where there's no justice and equity."

Mila was still smiling but based on what I had known about her for so many years, I knew she must've been cursing in her head and even wanted to kick Sam's a*s.

Compared to her, I didn't have a lot on my mind. I was just surprised that Lola and Janice would be so capable that they could even make these people say that. I coldly glanced at Sam and he avoided eye contact guiltily. If he really said that for the sake of the hospital, he wouldn't be so guilty about this.

"You're saying I play favorites?" Mila questioned, "so you think Lauren is in the wrong instead of Evelyn? Since I've also harmed the hospital's reputation, should I also resign?"

Sam tried to keep his cool and said, "This sort of thing doesn't come out of nowhere. None of us knows the truth behind this matter but this kind of thing has happened to the hospital too many times and it's all because of Dr. Blanco." "Shit, he's asking for a beating!" Mila complained to me through our mind link.

I gave her a comforting look and asked Sam, "Dr. Wells, am I disturbing anyone?"

"Of...of course, you are. You've been disturbing the patients here," Sam seemed a bit scared to look me in the eye and said, "Evelyn came and made a mess this time, which disturbed the patients and disrupted our work. Dr. Blanco, we're not targeting you. We just want you to make the hospital a better place by leaving."

I looked at those people behind Sam and asked, "Are you thinking what he's thinking?"

"... We're just doing this for the sake of the hospital."

What a ridiculous excuse.

They all agreed with him, "Yeah, and if Dr. Blanco really cares about the patients, she should resign."

I had worked in the hospital for so long and these people were all very nice to me before I left the Blanco family whether we were acquaintances or not. But now someone was pulling the strings and they wanna force me to leave by using the hospital's reputation as

an excuse.

It was inevitable to feel hurt and disappointed. After all, I had put so much effort into this place. But I wasn't quite sad. Even my family abandoned me for their interest. Why would I get upset over their betrayal?

"Yeah, so you're saying that for the sake of the hospital, I must resign even though I've done nothing wrong so that the people who've been pulling the strings will finally be satisfied?" I said sarcastically.

Sam's face turned red and he argued, "what people? Lauren, I've been nothing but polite and respectful because we're colleagues. Now you're the one who's ruining the hospital's reputation and disrupting the patients. You're just the abandoned daughter of the alpha. Who are you to...I mean, the investors all stopped putting money in our hospital because of you. For the benefit of the hospital, you must leave, or else we won't stay."

Sam went mad since the truth had slipped his mouth and now he was trying to threaten me.

Slap!

Before I could say something back, Mila couldn't take it anymore and mustered all her strength to smack the files onto the desk. She didn't care about whether her behaviors were appropriate for the director of the hospital and stood in front of me. She coldly questioned these people, "Fine, then let me ask you, why should Lauren leave?"

"You said that she's no longer the noble lady from the Blanco family, but she started as an intern just like you. She's never used her family status to get promoted and I've never played favorites," Mila said with a straight face, "she's done more surgeries than any one of you and is much more experienced."

Mila turned to Sam frigidly, "Sam, that day when you were saving a warrior who got hit in the chest by a rogue, you couldn't have done that surgery without Lauren's help, am I right?" "That's...that's because..." Sam was speechless and kept sweating.

But Mila just ignored him and said sarcastically, "You could've been such a great doctor if you could spend more time practicing your professional skills instead of things like this."

"You want Lauren out of this hospital? Then answer this question, who is more experienced and professional than her?" Mila took out a pile of medical records and opened these files on the table. She had always been an easygoing boss around her subordinates but now she looked quite intimidating, "Just ask yourself this question, are you really doing this for the benefit of the hospital and the patients?" "Saying this kind of irresponsible thing is your way of protecting our patients?!"

Hearing that, Sam and the other people were all quite embarrassed and their faces turned red. They wanted to say something back but didn't know how to begin.

But my heart was warmed and comforted. I thought I was the one who had always been protecting Mila but it turned out that I was wrong. Mila was also very protective of me.

At this time, some of them had gradually left the crowd and there were fewer and fewer people following Sam.

But there was no going back for him now. He gritted his teeth and said, "But if she stays, our cooperative partners will never fund us again! Dr. Mila, we all know that Mr. Pierre and the other investors are withdrawing their investment. How long can a hospital last without the support of a tribe or investors?"

I was shocked when I heard what he said. I never heard that Pierre and the others were withdrawing their investment. Was Lola behind this or was it Manuel?

But Mila had never spoken of this in front of me.

Seeing that Mila became silent, Sam continued, "And the hospital isn't gonna shut down just because a doctor resigns. If she's as good as you said, she'll thrive in any hospital and she doesn't need to stay in a small hospital like ours. However, if Lauren stays, who else is gonna fund us?"

"I will."

Someone said that in a cold voice from the other side of the crowd.
