“Thank you, Mr. Wiley, for coming to see me. I appreciate your kindness. Please leave,” Lea said.

“Lea, you…” Marshall said.

Lea only gave him a calm expression.

He pursed his thin lips ap

again and asked, “Do you need me to do anything**

She shook her head.

He was still worried and reminded her, “You’re

very young. You have to live well. If there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me. I’ll do my

best. I still have connections in Iverton,

I will. Len said.

Marshall left the house, but he was not calm. He drove back to the hospital in the middle of the night. Unknowingly, he arrived at the meeting

Toom.

He did not turn on the lights. At night, the entire conference room was solemn. He watched quietly. The board meeting had ended very late in the day, and the details of the meeting were still vivid in his mind.

At eight o’clock the next day, when there was still half an hour before work, the director, Nathaniel, rushed over.

He was already 65 years old. His hair was almost completely grey. He had reached the age of retirement. Last year, he held a retirement at Conrad University. He had resigned from the position of dean of Conrad University Medical School and was now fully in charge of the hospital.

The hospital had two directors, together with Phillip. He was mainly responsible for the administrative work of the hospital.

He was in poor health and had worked overtime last night. If it wasn’t for something important, he wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital so early When he saw Marshall, he was shocked “Marshall, you. You haven’t returned home and have been here all this time?” Marshall’s face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked very tired.

He was one of the vice directors of the hospital and also a professor at Conrad University. He had major experiments on hand.

Such a person was busy every day and often did not rest well. Exhaustion was the norm. However, his appearance was a little “I didn’t go back.” As he spoke, he turned around and faced Nathaniel, his gaze heavy

Nathaniel jerked again. You were here all night?”

“Yes,” Marshall answered.

Nathaniel’s expression also became solemn, and he felt uneasy under Marshall’s gaze. “What happened” he asked.

“Is annexing Riverview Hospital the hospital’s idea? Marshall asked.

Nathaniel’s body swayed. “What… What do you mean?”

scary.

“We’ll annex Riverview Hospital and make it a part of Conrad Hospital. This way, Conrad Hospital will still be the number one hospital in Iverton, a world–renowned hospital Whose idea is this? Whose idea is it from the board of directors? Or is it your own, Mr. Reed?” Marshall was agitated.

The two of them were not only colleagues but also teachers and students.

was

The path that Marshall was taking now was the path that Nathaniel had taken before. He was the one who nurtured and promoted Marshall as the dean of Conrad University and the vice dean of Conrad Hospital.

Nathaniel was shocked. His expression was stern as he suppressed his voice, but his tone was still raised.

He asked, “What are you talking about? Are you crazy!”

Although he said that on the surface, there was a hint of evasion and shock in his e

eyes.

He thought of some of the conversations with the other board members and suddenly thought of something

The next second, he spoke righteously, his voice resounding.

“It’s not that we want to annex Riverview Hospital. We won’t interfere with them and have nothing to do with them. It’s them who have fallen to such a state. The department hopes that we can help them!”

Regardless of the reason, he was determined to get Riverview Hospital under his banner. However, his ambition must not be known by Marshall, not to mention his current position

He continued, “Marshall, as an important member of the hospital, you’ve been in the hospital for nearly 20 years. This is your other home. How can you think this way? Where did you hear that nonsense?”

Nathaniel’s reaction was too intense. He tried to forcefully wipe out Marshall’s thoughts, but it almost did not shake his thoughts. Or perhaps, Marshall trusted Lea too much.

“Is that so, Mr. Reed? When our hospital researched new medicine and equipment but we couldn’t hire Dr. Berry to work with us, weren’t we thinking of taking those things for ourselves? Marshall said,

His tone could not help but become heavier. He glared at the teacher he once respected the most. More than that, he was angry at himself because he had once had such thoughts.

“Marshall!” Nathaniel flew into a rage.

Marshall was a student that Nathaniel had personally nurtured. He had always been respectful to Nathaniel. Nathaniel had high hopes for him and hoped that after he retired. Marshall could replace him and guarantee his status and rights in this field

However, Marshall actually dared to treat him like this now.

With a loud shout Marshall calmed down. He knew that he had lost control of his emotions.

Nathaniel’s tone softened, too, and he was still the loving and venerable Teacher. “I don’t know where you got that idea from, but think about it. Is it possible? Can we still interfere with the Riverview Hospital’s matter? Can we still interfere with the government department!

“You… You must have worked too hard recently, causing you to be mentally weak. That’s why you have such thoughts. How can you stay up all night, especially for a brainworker like you? Go back and rest quickly. There are still colleagues to deal with the hospital affairs,” Nathaniel said,

Marshall looked up at Nathaniel again and felt that his words had offended Nathaniel “Mr. Reed, I’m sorry” Marshall said.

Nathaniel is my teacher. I can’t break his heart like this, Marshall thought.

Nathaniel sighed deeply and replied, “It’s fine. You’re my student. I won’t be angry with you.”

Marshall felt even more quilty.

“Go back and rest quickly” Nathaniel reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort and encourage him.

“Okay.” Marshall turned, went out the door, and headed for the elevators in the hallway. He was exhausted, and his back wasn’t quite straight. It was more like he’d been hit hard.

Not only did this conversation not dispel his doubts, but the seeds of doubt grew wildly in his heart.

After he returned home, he received a call from his assistant, saying that his surgery tomorrow and other related work had been taken over by other colleagues in the hospital. His assistant told him to rest well and not rush back to the hospital

Winter came early in the north. There was a cold current, and the temperature plummeted to below zero. This winter had come.

Early in the morning, the bright sunlight shone on the campus of Conrad University, but it was very cold. The students were all wearing down jackets and fur coats. Their breathing turned into fog as they surged into the campus.

There was an Introduction to Psychology in freshman year today. This course was not the content of the basic course. The school had arranged such a course to let the students understand psychology. If there was a need, students could learn and apply it in their future studies,

As class approached, the classroom was in an uproar.

“Lea hasn’t come to class yet. She’s been arrested for more than 40 days.”

“I heard that she was sentenced to death!”

“What? The death penalty!” The surprised voice was so penetrating that everyone in the large classroom heard it.

After a short silence, the classroom erupted in discussion again.

“Is it true? Is the information reliable?”

“Of course it’s true. We got the information from inside

“Inside? Which inside? You don’t look like one!” The students scrutinized the one who spoke. In her grade, her background and studies seemed ordinary.

After 40 days of silence, other than Lea not coming to school, there was not much news.

However, her arrest was a big deal. Her classmates had been paying attention, and some people had been discussing her. Not only were they freshmen, but there were also second–year and third–year students, including some teachers

Now that they suddenly heard that Lea was sentenced to death, they were all shocked.
