Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 644
âOur hospital used to be a beacon of hope that solved all kinds of complex and challenging diseases. We always
made headlines for the right reasons, but our hospital has been severely criticized today because of you!â
Every word from the nurse was filled with scorn.
says, I will not tolerate anyone tarnishing Dr. Shawâs reputation in our hospital!â
âDr. Shaw has been with our hospital for three years, earning us numerous accolades. We cannot dismiss all of her
accomplishments because of one mistake, understood?â
Cheriseâs eyes narrowed. A frosty smile formed on the corners of her lips. With such cunning tactics, it was no
wonder Martha had been promoted to deputy hospital director.
On the surface, her words seemed to chastise these people for undermining Cheriseâs talent. But in reality, she was
subtly insinuating that Cherise was at fault. Only a devious person like Martha was capable of such sly tricks.
âThank you for defending me, Dr. Lane.â Cherise smiled faintly and looked up at Martha. âBut, Dr. Lane, youâve
misunderstood one thing.â
âI have indeed brought disgrace to the hospital. After all, I could have exposed the person who conspired against
me much earlier, but I didnât. I gave her the chance to tarnish our. hospitalâs reputation. Donât you think I deserve
to be punished, Dr. Lane?â
Marthaâs white hair glinted under the lights. She squinted and instinctively turned to look at Cherise, who was also
looking at her. One woman had a frosty gaze, while the other had an indifferent one.
As their eyes met, Cherise smiled gently at Martha. âDr. Lane, youâre in
my way.â
Martha was startled. Only then did she realize her figure had instinctively tensed up and blocked Cheriseâs path
when she heard Cherise talk about someone conspiring against her.
Martha stepped aside almost reflexively. The young doctors surrounding her also made way
for Cherise.

âThank you.â Cherise smiled and turned to leave.
She had just walked away when Martha suddenly came to her senses and called out, âDr.
Shaw!â
Cheriseâs steps faltered, and she turned around with a smile. âIs there anything else?â
Martha looked in the direction Cherise was heading. Dr. Shaw, where are you going?â
âYouâre heading towards the hospitalâs main entrance.â Martha crossed her arms and looked at Cherise coldly. âItâs
still working hours. Where are you planning to go, Dr. Shaw?â
Cherise smiled faintly. âWhatâs wrong? Are you trying to control my personal freedom, too, Dr. Lane?â
Im just concerned about your safety, Dr. Shaw.â Martha smiled indifferently and pretended to be concerned for
Cherise. âMany people outside are aware of your past and might want to harm you. Youâd be safer staying in the
hospital. We will protect you!â
A young doctor next to Martha scoffed. âWho would want to protect a doctor without medical ethics?â
Cheriseâs eyes narrowed. A sneer formed on her lips.
However, Martha scolded the young doctor loudly, âHow can you say such a thing?â
