Chapter: 274

"Dr. Wilson, please take a seat."

Norah believed the hospital director, a middle-aged man of about fifty, was a well-known expert in the Cardiac Surgery Department if her memory served her right. He pointed at the sofa and invited Norah to take a seat.

"Jamison should have briefed you on this. Every department has only two slots for attending physicians. Dr. Wilson, I've gone over your file, and you've been with Silver Boulder Private Hospital for less than two months, correct? How did you manage to secure such a position? Furthermore, there's a report claiming you used connections and had inappropriate relationships at the hospital. Do you confess to these accusations?

"Those are groundless accusations." Norah's voice was icy as she declared, "I've shown my worth in medicine. Who are you to claim I took shortcuts?"

Gil rose to his feet, looking serious. “Sir, I vouched for Dr.

Wilson. I'm well aware of her talents. She's not just a star in cardiology. She's also respected in neurology. Her skills are top- notch!"

Jamison joined in, "Yeah, Dr. Wilson is truly remarkable. I've brought a collection of her cardiology surgery videos for your review."

Jamison placed a USB drive on the desk, adding, "We're all medical professionals here. You can judge for yourselves if she's qualified."

Norah remained standing, her posture regal. She brushed a lock of hair behind her ear with a cool indifference, stating, “If you're considering stripping my title over some baseless accusation, I'm not going to let that happen."

The four vice directors exchanged whispers, while the director at the head of the table took a moment to think. He plugged the USB into his computer and played a surgery video at random. Norah's surgical precision, steady hands, and the smooth flow of the operation made a strong impression on everyone watching.

Then, the director inquired, “How many research papers have you written?"

Norah was deep in thought, looking down. She had published most of her work under the alias "Supernatural Doctor," unsure of the exact number of papers that bore her actual name, Norah.

Gil chimed in, "Ten.

With those ten publications to her name, it was clear Norah had a promising career ahead in the medical field.

Norah turned to Gil, surprised that he remembered details about her that even she had forgotten. Catching Gil's look, she couldn't help but smile.

Norah felt valued by Gil, sensing his genuine desire for her to remain and flourish in the medical profession.

The director took a moment before responding, “Okay, I get it.”

The director acknowledged the accusations in the anonymous letter were baseless, recognizing Norah's exceptional talent. “We'll hold off on the promotion decision for now and keep collecting information.

If you're truly capable, you'll get what you deserve."

The director had led Silver Boulder Private Hospital for years and could tell at a glance if Norah was hired for her connections or her skills just by reviewing her file.

"Thanks," Norah replied, keeping her composure. She gave a small nod, smiling at Gil and Jamison before leaving the office.

Right after Norah stepped out, Gil couldn't contain his frustration.

"Sir, I've told you before, Norah's medical abilities are second to none. She's just applying for an attending physician role. Why make things tough for her?"

The director glanced around his office before responding, "Gil, I trust your judgment, but I have to convince everyone else. We've got vice directors here. If I just promote her because you say so, it's going to look like we're feeding into those rumors about her."
