Chapter 52 I Didn't Protect Her Well
Pera didn't know how to answer. Even though she took Ivan's money, she still couldn't lie that he was better than Alston.
Alston's appearance, character, and career were all perfect. Ivan had a good family background, but he was
notorious and couldn't compare with Alston at all.
The onlookers froze in doubt, then began to whisper.
"That's true. How could she seduce other men with a husband like Alston?"
"I know Ivan is just a rich kid who spends his days drinking and partying. As long as Cynthia is not stupid,
she can hardly abandon Alston and seduce Ivan."
"Yeah. Did we wrong Doctor Miller?"
Pera saw that public opinion had changed and became worried. A trace of nervousness flashed in her eyes. Ivan was a b*stard. When she lost her child, he broke up with her without even notifying her and threw her away like trash. She had been with him for more than a year and was pregnant with his child. In the end, she didn't even get the breakup fee.
Later, Ivan used her fame to bully Cynthia. However, Alston broke Ivan's hand and even made her blocked by the platform. As a result, her reputation and popularity plummeted.
She lost all her incoming and lived a miserable life. She could hardly feed herself, let alone buy the luxury. When Ivan found her again, she knew that her chance had come.
She rubbed her shirt nervously and touched the card in her pocket, and she became more determined.
As long as she completed Ivan's task, she would get enough money to leave Fort, and nobody would replace her by then.
"Who knows what you thought? Maybe you were tired of Alston and wanted to try my boyfriend"." Pera stepped forward boldly with a fierce look. "You don't admit that you once met my boyfriend in a private box?"
"I..." Cynthia paused and frowned. "Your boyfriend used your name to trick me."
Seeing her admitting, Pera interrupted her on purpose, not letting her finish. She shouted and covered Cynthia's voice. "Look, everyone. She admitted! She's such a cheap woman who cheated while having a good
husband. How did she become a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department? Be careful! If you
come to her for a checkup, you might lose your husband before giving birth to your kid!"
Pera used to be an internet celebrity, so she was especially good at guiding public opinion.
Pregnant women were often very sensitive. They were very fond of their children and nervous about their husbands. They would look down upon themselves subconsciously, fearing that other women would seduce
their husbands.
The pregnant onlookers instantly became restless, and even Cynthia's patient began to look at her suspiciously.
Helen trembled with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? Cynthia was always the best student in her major, and she has been the youngest and best doctor in the department. She has never violated medical ethics or harmed her patients. Why are you lying?"
"I'm telling the truth! My boyfriend dumped me because I had become infertile after that operation!" Pera shouted as loud as she could, "She doesn't deserve to be a doctor. I can't give birth to my child, then at least
let me slap her!"
"Do it!" Someone was incited by her words and shouting while looking at Cynthia with hatred.
"I knew the young doctors are unreliable. And this one doesn't even know what medical ethics are!"
"That's right. This kind of person shouldn't come to work in the hospital. They would only harm patients!"
"Let's get her fired so no more people would suffer!"
The crowd was furious.
The pregnant woman who had just finished the prenatal examination was so angry that she threw the medicine at Cynthia.
Cynthia was caught off guard and was hit in the forehead.
She gasped in pain, and a bruise appeared instantly.
Helen was taken aback and quickly stood before Cynthia. She used her body to block the furious crowd, fearing Cynthia would be hurt again.
Pera was even more arrogant when seeing the crowd's reaction. She didn't dare to hate Ivan, so she could only target Cynthia, and seeing Cynthia being bullied delighted her.
Cynthia's face was cold as ice. She was not afraid of being fired because she was slandered. This was an indisputable fact. If it were in the past, maybe the hospital would ignore her explanations and fire her for the sake of its reputation.
But now, the Smith family had become the shareholder of this hospital, and nobody dared to fire her. However, she was not a coward and couldn't stand Pera slandering her deliberately. Cynthia came out from
behind Helen and smiled to comfort her.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Cynthia's clear voice was like a spring, making the noisy crowd fall silent and look at her.
'She's lying. I can swear to all of you that I didn't seduce her boyfriend, and her infertility is none of my business. She knew she was pregnant, yet she still slept with her boyfriend, which caused massive bleeding and caused her placenta to fall off. I had no choice but to perform curettage on her."
Cynthia told the truth calmly without the slightest guilt in her eyes.
"Before the operation, I asked her about her condition. She deliberately concealed her physical condition. When I operated on her, I found out that she had had multiple abortions before, and only a thin layer of the
uterine membrane was left. It would be difficult for her to conceive in the future."
After saying that, Cynthia looked at Pera oppressively. "This is the truth. I dare to be responsible for my every word. What about you?"
The corridor was quiet, and everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect this to happen. Could it be that they wronged Doctor Miller? She dared to swear in public, so it shouldn't be a lie! Cynthia revealed the truth that Pera had concealed. Pera felt humiliated, and her face flushed with anger.
She gritted her teeth and used the most ruthless move. "Everyone, don't believe her words. This woman is too eloquent. You probably don't know that the Smith family controls this hospital. Whatever Cynthia has done, and no matter how many people she hurt, Alston will always support her. That's why she is so confident."
All ordinary people subconsciously hate the privileged class. After hearing Pera's words, the crowd's anger reached its peak. Knowing that it was useless to seek the head of this hospital, they all lost their minds and rushed toward Cynthia.
Helen wanted to drag Cynthia away but was dispersed by the crowd. Cynthia was pushed out of the office
and to the stairs.
She watched so many ferocious people approaching her while Pera and her friends stood behind the crowd and smiled triumphantly.
She was at a loss for a while because she couldn't fight public opinion alone.
Suddenly, someone in the shoving crowd stretched out his hand in the chaos, pressed Cynthia's shoulder, and pushed her hard.
Cynthia had already been pushed to the stairs by the crowd, and this push made her fall down.
When she was pushed, she was faceup and full of panic. The back of her head hit the hard floor heavily, and
then her slender and fragile body rolled down the stairs.
The clean white floor was stained with blood.
Everyone upstairs was stunned, and none of them expected such an ending. They just wanted to take the
moral high ground to attack Cynthia, but they never considered harming her.
Seeing her fall downstairs, the crowd dispersed in a panic and fled as fast as possible.
Before Pera and her friends could react, they were dispersed by the crowd.
"Cynthia!"
Helen's terrified cry made Pera come back to her senses. Just as she was about to escape, a group of bodyguards rushed up and seized her. "Dylan, come quickly!" Helen rushed forward but stood aside helplessly, fearing that she would worsen her injury with some stupid moves.
She had always been calm. But whenever something happened to Cynthia, she would always get confused.
Dylan hurried forward and found that Cynthia had lost consciousness. He quickly did a checkup and sent Cynthia to the operating room.
The hospital's president knew Alston valued Cynthia greatly, so he immediately operated on her and stitched up the wound.
Outside the operating room, Helen leaned against the wall. Her face was pale and full of tears. She kept murmuring, "I didn't protect her well. I was right beside her; how did I fail to protect her?"
