Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Promotion to Director
“No way, we are just being careful about Mommy’s matters.”
Hope Williams shook her head helplessly with a smile, “Alright, I know you two little mischief-makers are the cleverest.”
“That’s right, who else could we be when we are born to such a beautiful Mommy.”
Hope Williams laughed out loud, “Go inside, don’t be late.”
“Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Make sure not to forget.”
...
At the hospital, Hope Williams was in a good mood; her steps were brisk, and, having applied so light makeup this morning, she looked radiant and extraordinarily beautiful, shimring with vitality.
Even though she had so makeup on today, Hope Williams felt it unnecessary for them to keep staring at her.
And those looks they gave her were filled with strange assessnts, whispering to each other conspiratorially, pointing and staring.
Hope Williams’s smooth brow furrowed slightly as she entered the elevator, bumped by a young nurse who, far from apologizing, fiercely rolled her eyes at her.
Such unwarranted malice flashed a hint of solemnity across Hope Williams’s usually calm face.
As soon as she returned to her office, she heard several cold snorts as if there were serious objections to her, only adding to her confusion. Aurora Wood alone welcod her with a big bear hug upon seeing her.
Hope Williams was at a loss.
“Congratulations, Hope.”
Hope Williams blinked and slowly spoke, her cool voice tinged with a bit of puzzlent, “Congratulations on what?”
“Don’t you know? Director Woods personally announced it, the old director has retired, and you have been promoted to Chief of Cardiac Surgery. Hope, you are definitely the youngest chief our departnt has ever had.”
Hope Williams’s brows arched slightly, and beyond a trace of surprise on her face, she felt no other emotion about the news—it was hardly exciting to her, just riting a slight smile, “It is indeed sothing to be happy about.”
“Hope, why aren’t you excited?” Aurora Wood knew Hope Williams’s temperant was aloof and she was always composed.
Becoming the chief was a position nurous people coveted fiercely, yet could not reach; she was only 28 and had already been appointed as the chief, but she showed no excitent or happiness.
If Aurora Wood had secured the position of chief before she turned forty, she would certainly have been ecstatic for days and nights.
“It was expected,” Hope Williams replied calmly as she changed her clothes.
When Hope Williams joined the hospital, Director Woods wanted her for the position of chief, but she had declined.
She was just 28 years old, and it was improper to secure a position that soone had held for over a decade so soon after arriving, and difficult to gain acceptance.
But now that the position was vacant, she naturally wouldn’t refuse and hand it to soone else.
“Hilarious, expected indeed; it’s all about connections after all.”
“Connections indeed make a difference; her connection is Director Woods himself, quite a capability there.”
“Hey, unlike us who have slaved away at this hospital for so long, and yet our efforts don’t compare to soone who’s been here just three months with the right connections.”
“What are you all so sour about? You have all seen Dr. Williams’s surgical skills as first and second assistants, can’t you see for yourselves her success rate in surgeries?”
Aurora Wood, hands on her hips, a look of anger stretching across her plump face, could not stand their sarcastic tones. If they were capable, they should secure a position themselves, each sounding so bitter like a lemon.
Hope Williams squeezed Aurora Wood’s arm lightly, her brows furrowed slightly, “Let it be.”
Arguing with them wouldn’t be as worthwhile as spending ti to see a few more patients.
She had prepared herself to face ridicule and mockery upon taking over the position, and was also ready to accept their challenges.
She would prove through her actions how ridiculous their scorn, sarcasm, and disdain were.
While so rejoiced and others grieved, Joy Ward had been lingering in the hospital for two days, thinking it would earn Waylon Lewis’s pity, but aside from his visit the day she awoke, he had not appeared again. Already harboring resentnt towards Hope Williams, hearing this news nearly made her leap from the bed, wishing she could pull Hope Williams by the hair and demand whether she deserved it!
“Hope Williams promoted to chief? Who announced that?” Joy Ward twisted the bedsheet tightly, one hand over her heart, stifling the rage inside, her face contorted, an expression more uncomfortable than constipation.
“Who else could it be, she’s so capable, having a connection with Director Woods,” Valentina River sneered bitterly, almost grinding her teeth.
“What?” Joy Ward squinted, disbelief surging in her eyes.
How did Hope Williams establish such a connection with Director Woods to be directly promoted to chief? Director Woods had never made such unprecedented decisions before.
Valentina River turned to Beau Harrison, who was indifferently pouring water for Joy Ward, “Doctor Harrison, didn’t you say you’d go through thick and thin for Joy, sparing no efforts? Now that Hope William has beco chief, our Joy is almost dying here, how can you remain indifferent?”
Valentina River was stomping her feet in anger.
“Doctor Harrison, do you even care about this matter?” Joy Ward didn’t take the water handed to her, eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful.
Seeing this, Beau Harrison’s heart tightened, nervousness clear in his eyes behind his rimless glasses.
“Joy, I care about everything that concerns you, but these days Aurora Wood has been causing so much trouble…”
“That’s enough, Doctor Harrison, you can leave. I know I’ve put you in a difficult position, I don’t deserve you doing so much for ,” Joy Ward said, her pretty face sared with tears, her frail and heartbroken appearance eliciting sympathy.
