Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Dismissal Of Dr. Kelsie Sutton

The next morning, Kelsie woke up early to survey the vicinity of the apartment building.

Jett had clung tightly to her the entire night so she had a feeling he could be waiting downstairs for her.

And what better way to avoid him than to choose the busiest time of the morning to go out?

Even if he had his human surveillance camera outside, she would be long gone by the time he noticed.

After confirming his car wasn’t in the garage, she quickly went upstairs to prepare Zade and Keira for school.

Dropping them off at their new school, she spent some time with the school’s principal before going to work.

However, as she walked into the hospital, she was informed that her disciplinary hearing would be by 11am.

Nevertheless, she carried out her duties just like always.

By 10:00, she logged into the hospital’s data base and looked through numerous medical records. Thirty minutes later, she logged off and left her office to make her rounds.

As she did this, Kelvin Reynolds was promptly informed of her actions.

"There’s nothing noteworthy about anyone she pulled up." His eyes fell in disappointment after going through the medical records she pulled up.

His brother nodded in agreement.

"You’re right. She merely looked through the records of her patients."

Kelvin narrowed his eyes at nothing, going silent for several seconds before clicking his tongue at Calvin, "No, look into it again. I’m sure we must’ve overlooked someone important."

Calvin didn’t budge, prompting Kelvin to turn to him with a raised brow.

"What are you doing?"

His younger brother exhaled in exhaustion.

"We’ve been watching her every move for the past four months. If she’s really Lois Fletcher’s daughter, she would’ve looked up her record by now, don’t you think?"

Kelvin also wondered that.

Kelsie had done nothing, but diligently look after her patients. She had even become so acquainted with them that they refused to see anyone else when she wasn’t around.

And these patients kept referring people to her. At this rate, he knew it’d take less than a year before she became the hospital’s go-to doctor and this worried him.

If she became the hospital’s best surgeon then later turned out to be that woman’s daughter, it’d only mean she had been playing them for fools all these months.

Becoming the number one doctor would also make it easier to bring down the hospital if that was what she had in mind.

He paused and clenched his fists tightly at the thought.

He couldn’t let that happen. He wouldn’t. He spent his entire youth looking after the hospital and doing things to build it into what it was today.

He may have had a hand in Lois Fletcher’s death, but that didn’t give Kelsie the right to take away his sweat and blood.

As he seethed in rage, clenching and unclenching his fist, Calvin got a call and went to a corner to answer it.

A minute later, he returned to Kelvin’s side, his mood sour.

"Kelvin, the informant I got to follow Jerry Sutton just got back to me."

Kelvin didn’t turn to look at him.

"What did he say?"

"He recorded a call between Jerry Sutton and Jerry Sutton yesterday. She really is his daughter."

Kelvin grimaced, eyes trembling slightly.

"Isn’t his wife still alive? Deborah Thompson, was it?"

A flicker of tension crossed Calvin’s face as he retorted worriedly, "He asked around and the maids working for Jerry Sutton said his first wife and the mother of his first daughter died 19 years ago in a car accident."

Though he had braced for it, Kelvin was still stunned to know this.

Of course. The resemblance between them was too uncanny for them not to be related.

He should’ve followed his guts four months ago and taken care of her the moment he saw her in that party.

As he regretted delaying, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Here’s what I don’t understand. Her mother died 19 years ago and according to her birth certificate, she turned 24 this year which means she was just barely 5 when her mother died."

"So how does she know some people had something to do with her mother’s death? Lois Fletcher, after all, died a quick death. She didn’t have the time to leave clues pointing to who her murderers were."

Calvin pursed his lips.

"Lois was a smart woman. She often predicated our moves even before we made them. She may as well have predicated her death before it happened."

Kelvin’s eyes instantly clouded over as he abruptly turned to grip Calvin tightly by the tie, pulling him down to speak into his face in annoyance.

"Hey, I may be dumber than her and I do agree she was a genius way ahead of time, but I refuse to believe she was that much of a genius."

"If she was that good, why did she run an unnamed hospital? It’s obvious she didn’t know how to make it known."

Calvin clenched his jaw tightly, raising his dark eyes to meet his. "I was just making an assumption."

The duo locked eyes for several seconds, sparks flying between them, before Kelvin released his grip and got to his feet.

Slipping both hands into his pocket, he questioned, "Did you look into Lois Fletcher?"

Calvin didn’t know when he snickered, taking off his ruined tie to knot again.

"Even if I do that thirty times every one hour, the result will always remain the same. The fact that she grew up in a rural village and barely made it into Silicone Valley to make a name for herself will never change."

"Seeing as how good she was with herbal plants, she must’ve spent a lot of time studying them in that village she was born in."

A knock sounded on the door at this moment and Kelvin’s secretary pushed it open almost immediately to inform him, "Mr. Reynolds, the disciplinary hearing is in a few minutes. Should I get you new suits to change into?"

"No need." He waved her off and left the office with Calvin.

By 10:58, Kelsie was on her way to the conference room.

Even though they said it was just a disciplinary hearing, she had no doubt they’d come up with a way to dismiss her.

But that was fine. She went through the database this morning so she was sure they had spent the past few minutes wondering what her motive was.

That they were occupied with such though was okay. Since it’d take at least an hour to go through the paperwork to complete her dismissal, she had enough time to log into the database again and get her mother’s records.

Everything was going according to plan.

As she strolled into the conference room, she froze, slightly taken aback seeing half the hospital’s staffs already waiting.

These insecure people. Didn’t they know she could sue them in the future for this?

From a glance, anyone could tell they planned to nitpick on everything she said just so they could dismiss her.

Paying no heed to them, she strutted straight to the chair opposite the seven members of the committee.

She didn’t know who the chairperson was, but she did recognize two senior doctors and the hospital’s directors, Kelvin and Calvin Reynolds.

Once she was seated, the chairperson began the hearing with a straight face.

"Why were you late for the surgery?"

"I was attacked on my way here. Someone tried to kill me."

The words had just rolled off her tongue when the senior doctors glowered at her while the chairperson merely looked down at his questionnaire.

"Do you have proof of this attack?"

"I did, but I scraped my car as soon as I got to the hospital."

"Did this attack have anything to do with the hospital?"

"No, it didn’t."

"So your personal life got in the way of your responsibility and almost took the life of a patient who entrusted himself in your care. Do you agree?"

"I regret what happened, but I was fighting for my life as well."

The chairperson’s hard expression finally cracked.

What was it with this girl?

Usually, the person sitting in that seat would try their best to give a detailed answer so they wouldn’t be dismissed, but she kept giving such lifeless answers.

It was as though she wanted to be demised. But he shook the thought out of his mind almost immediately.

From what he heard, she performed very well. Someone like that would try to save their job no matter how nonchalant they were, not so?

With that thought, he continued.

"We’re made aware that you suddenly left the hospital that day, during working hours. Why?"

"It is a personal matter I do not want to discuss in public."

Almost immediately, an annoyed ripple went through the medical staffs in attendance as they lashed out at her.

"Personal matter? Someone almost died because of you! Do you have no shame?"

"She still refuses to admit that she’s in the wrong. Clearly, she’s not fit to be a doctor!"

"Surely, the committee will reach a good decision!"

None of the committee members made any move to silence the staffs until they grew calm a minute later and the chairperson continued.

"It has also come to our notice that wasn’t the first time you were leaving work during work hours."

"Apparently, you have a child. While that isn’t a reason to vote for your dismissal, the fact that you say you were attacked, but have no proof to back it up tells us you have a lot of personal matter to deal with."

"We also have no promise from you that something like this will never happen again. As a result, we will now be bringing up the motion of your dismissal from this hospital."

As soon as he finished, Kelvin leaned towards the table to chip in with a small smile.

"Because we hired you through special means, we’ll give the staffs in this room the power to decide if you’ll stay or not."

"I know this may seem clear from where you stand, but we’re merely doing what’s expected of us. We hope you don’t hold this against us."

He didn’t wait to hear her retort as he leaned backward again, beckoning onto one of the senior doctors who promptly got on his feet to address the staffs.

"For those who wish for the dismissal of Dr. Kelsie Sutton, please raise your hands."

Hands shot up one after the other. And in less then thirty seconds, the motion to dismiss her had garnered 80 percent votes.

"Majority carries the vote. On that note, Dr. Kelsie Sutton is hereby dismi..." The senior doctor was enthusiastically announcing the result of the vote when the door to the room was suddenly pushed opened.

Kelvin Reynolds hurriedly got on his feet at the sight of this major shareholder holding a lunchbox.
