After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 97 - 94 Rumors in the People’s Hospital
Chapter 97: Chapter 94 Rumors in the People’s Hospital
Emily Parker had her suspicions, but this was someone else’s family affair, and it wasn’t her place to get too involved.
But Carlos, holding that blood test report, seemed lost in thought as he remembered a previous DNA test report...
In People’s Hospital, Adam Willow had just come out of the men’s changing room.
He seemed distracted; it had been several days since Sophie Parker resigned, and his work had lost its usual drive.
He was used to seeing Sophie Parker in People’s Hospital every day, and not seeing her for several days made him feel an empty void in his heart.
As he passed by the women’s changing room, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
He used to always meet Sophie Parker at the door of the women’s changing room.
But after waiting a while, he didn’t see her.
It was only then that Adam Willow came to his senses—Sophie Parker was no longer in the hospital.
As he was about to walk away, he overheard the chatter of the nurses inside.
"Hey, did you hear? We’re not getting our bonuses."
"Not getting them? Aren’t we supposed to be getting last year’s year-end bonus this month? How can they just not give it to us?"
"I heard a big research project backed by the hospital was cut; almost a hundred million in research funding is gone."
Adam Willow paused, aware of the situation, but he hadn’t expected it to affect the hospital’s year-end bonuses—it wasn’t a small sum, quite a few tens of thousands.
The Willow Family had just been emptied out by Sophie Parker.
His mother and sister spent several days in a hotel, costing quite a bit of money. After much difficulty, Adam Willow had finally persuaded them to return home.
He promised that after he received this month’s year-end bonus, he would buy some new furniture.
But he hadn’t expected the year-end bonus to disappear so quickly.
Adam Willow frowned, just as he was about to leave, he heard a few of the nurses continuing to complain inside.
"If you ask me, it’s all the hospital’s fault. How could they offend the sponsor?"
"This time it’s not really the hospital’s fault. I heard it’s all because of Doctor Willow."
"How can it be Doctor Willow’s fault? He’s young and talented. I heard he recently published an SCI paper in an international journal. Recently, he’s the only one in Capital who has succeeded in doing that."
"I heard he had an argument with the donor. Not just that, but I’ve heard that many of the VIP patients are causing a fuss about transferring to other hospitals."
In the VIP ward of People’s Hospital, the patients are the rich and powerful of Capital.
Those patients causing a fuss about transferring was actually related to Old Master Carter. freēnovelkiss.com
Since Sophie Parker left, although she occasionally sent some of her cooked meals to the Old Master through a driver, it wasn’t the same as when she was at People’s Hospital.
Without anyone to talk to, Old Master Carter was getting frustrated every day.
He was causing a fuss about moving out of People’s Hospital.
The people he knew in the VIP ward, hearing that he wanted to move out, many of the patients also made a fuss about moving.
This also caused People’s Hospital’s reputation in Capital’s high society to plummet.
Adam Willow felt a surge of anger in his gut that didn’t subside even when he went to work.
No wonder, when he previously met a few familiar doctors and head nurses, Adam Willow greeted them, but the doctors and nurses who were once very warm to him now looked at him with cold eyes.
Rumors had already started spreading in the hospital that the withholding of bonuses was Adam Willow’s fault.
Moreover, the rumor was that pharmacy nurse Sophie Parker resigned because of Adam Willow.
Emily Parker, though just a junior nurse, was quite beautiful and many male doctors had secret crushes on her.
Her drug dispensing skills were also exceptional; in the past, she alone could do the work of three in the pharmacy. Now that she’s left, the pharmacy has been so busy that they have to work overtime every day, and yet, there’s been a cut in the nurses’ bonuses, obviously making them unhappy.
They started saying it must be because Adam Willow left, and there were even rumors that the reason Emily left was due to Adam’s infidelity.
The rumor went that she and Adam Willow had been in a relationship for a long time and were about to get married, but Adam fell for a young and beautiful female college volunteer, proving himself an unfaithful scoundrel.
The rumors grew wilder, ruining the good reputation Adam Willow had built over the years in just a few days.
Adam Willow’s phone, in his pocket, started ringing again.
Sophie Parker’s allergy hadn’t yet subsided, and she was still in the hospital ward.
Ever since their relationship was confirmed, she clung tightly to Adam Willow, summoning him to her ward to accompany her frequently as soon as she felt slightly better.
If Adam didn’t go up to see her, she would call him nonstop, preventing him from working in peace.
Adam hung up the phone, but then Sophie sent him a WeChat message.
"Brother Adam, I had another dream last night."
Seeing this message, Adam’s brows twitched.
He certainly knew what Sophie meant by saying that; Sophie’s dreams had supernatural predictive powers.
She could foresee certain future events.
When she first told Adam, he thought it was merely a coincidence, but after several accurate predictions, especially when the stocks Sophie recommended all soared, Adam began to believe that what she said was true.
What had she dreamed of this time?
Curious, Adam decided to go upstairs and see her.
"Brother Adam."
Thanks to Father Parker, Sophie had been moved to a private room, and when she saw Adam, she joyfully wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.
Adam gently pushed her away.
"What’s wrong?"
Sophie sensed something was off.
"Nothing much, just some work frustrations."
Adam didn’t tell Sophie about the rumors, and Sophie pouted.
"You don’t need to say it, I know what’s going on.
I heard some nurses chatting during rounds, saying your bonuses were cut and some even blamed it on you."
"They’re all talking nonsense."
Adam was quite annoyed.
"Actually, Brother Adam, in my opinion, with your medical skill and capabilities, staying at People’s Hospital is a waste of your talent.
Look at how many years you’ve been working here, yet you’re still just an emergency room doctor."
Sophie had high hopes for Adam as she remembered the dream she had where, over the years at People’s Hospital, Adam published many papers.
With those publications and his excellent medical skills, he swiftly rose from an ordinary Chief Doctor to Deputy Chief Physician, and then to Chief Doctor.
If he hadn’t later returned to his roots to inherit the family business, he would definitely have made a name for himself in the medical field, even rivaling the well-known medical expert Lucas Reed.
"I don’t have parental protection like some people. I’ve come to realize that no matter how hard I try, it’s no match for the legacy left by forebears."
Adam sat on the bed, annoyingly rubbing his hair, looking very dejected.
