Chapter 130

Allison bolted from the hospital, making a beeline for Dr Dylarin place With her last memory she dialed Dr Dylan while knocking on has door Before the call could connect, the door was opened by Dr. Dylan’s mom, Hertha, who said Allison, you’re here “Mrs Huff, how’s Dylan doing?

Hertha let out a sigh Dylan didn’t sleep last night, he just kept drinking He just fell asleep Allison glanced at Dr Dylan sleeping in his bedroom, then returned to the living room Hertha handed Allison a sliced apple and said. “This came out of nowhere Dylan may not be the best doctor but he prepared for this surgery for a long time. There was no way something could go wrong Now that the patient’s family is rising hell, Dylan’s been suspended temporanly. He was up for a promotion at the end of the year, he just needed to submit his paper. But who could’ve seen this coming?

“Don’t worry, everything will be okay Allison tried to comfort her Hertha sighed again “You don’t know, the patient’s family has clout This hit Dylan hard His dad has gone to see the dean, but the dearls attitude is pretty serious. Also, the patient’s family has taken this to court”

Allison started to panic “How could this happen?

Tears welled up in Hertha’s eyes Dylan is my only son, he’s always been so good at handling things.

He’s done this surgery plenty of times, there’s no way he could’ve messed up His dad thinks I’m being paranoid, but I can’t shake the feeling someone’s out to get him Her voice broke off at the end.

Allison didn’t know how to comfort Hertha, she glanced toward the bedroom She knew Dylan rarely drank–he was almost a teetotaler. He’d have a bit at parties, but last night he got drunk. He must be devastated Later, Dr. Dylan’s dad, Aherna, came back. Seeing Allison, he was a bit surprised. “Allison’s here” He glanced at Hertha and said, “Get Dylan up, he’s been sleeping all morning We shouldn’t keep Allison waiting”

Allison said, “No need, let him rest Hertha quickly asked Aherna, “How did it go? What did the hospital decide? When can Dylan clear his name? When can he go back to work?

Aherna sighed, sat on the couch, and took a few sips of water. “You know, since I got transferred, I haven’t kept in touch with many friends at Healing Haven Hospital I talked to the dean, and she said it’s a bit complicated”

Hertha was getting anxious: “What’s so complicated? Surgical errors happen. Not every surgery can be 100% successful”

“You don’t get it, that family has some pull. There’s been a commation in the hospital for a few days now Temporary suspension is the least of our problems, I’m worried Dylan will be taken to court. The family has already made a fuss there, accusing Dylan of intentional murder”

Hertha blurted out, “What the hell’s going on?”

Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Dr. Dylan walked out.

In Allison’s eyes, Dr. Dylan was always a sunny, gentle person. But now, with a beard covering his chin and reeking of alcohol, he looked like a completely different person He looked at Allison, his eyes somewhat evasive, then cracked a smile and asked, “Why are you here?

Wait here for a bit, III freshen up, then take you home”

“Dylan”

Allison wanted to say it wasn’t necessary but before she could finish, Dr. Dylan was back in his room.

Soon after, he reemerged, acting as if nothing had happened. He said to her, “Let’s go.”
