Madison happened to be passing by and said loudly, \u201cDr. Benson, you\u2019re getting a divorce?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The patients who had previously been complaining loudly in their wards all went silent and poked their heads out into the corridor. \u201cDr. Benson, are you getting a divorce?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet was speechless. What horrible timing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In less than an afternoon\u2019s time, the entire ophthalmology department knew that Scarlet was getting a divorce. For anyone who didn\u2019t believe her, they just had to take a look at her swollen eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clementine was the happiest when she heard the news. She looked at Scarlet with a huge smile on her face. \u201cHey. I heard your ugly husband finally dumped you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet didn\u2019t know what Clementine was so happy about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you so excited?\u201d Scarlet asked mildly as she ate her lunch. \u201cEven my husband\u2019s mistress wasn\u2019t as excited.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The people in the cafeteria burst into laughter. Clementine was almost beside herself with anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She probably ran off to complain to Jeremy, as he ended up calling Scarlet into his office for a talking\u2013to. \u201cLet\u2019s leave our private lives out of the office. Not only are you affecting the patients, but you\u2019re also affecting your colleagues\u2018 work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Scarlet had just joined the company, Jeremy wasn\u2019t the chief physician yet. At the time, Cameron Ambridge had been the chief physician.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them just couldn\u2019t get along. The whole ophthalmology department was split into two factions. Cameron was a good doctor and had a great reputation. Meanwhile, even though Jeremy held a lower position, he was distantly related to the hospital director and had valuable connections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet and Clementine had joined the hospital around the same time. Clementine was also a relative of the hospital director, so she was naturally closer to Jeremy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Scarlet\u2019s first job, and she didn\u2019t understand the office politics happening within the hospital. Cameron thought highly of her and praised her a few times. Because of that, she had become a pain in Jeremy\u2019s neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t done anything, but she had already been forced into taking sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Cameron eventually got a promotion and left the department, leaving the position open to Jeremy. So, Scarlet had been the target of Jeremy\u2019s temper over the last two years. He always found a way to nitpick at whatever she did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, since she was in an equally bad mood, she stopped controlling herself and argued back, \u201cMaybe you should check the cameras and see whether I was the one who brought up my private life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if the patients gossip among themselves, but you can teach Clementine not to gossip so much. Also, tell her that it\u2019s rude to pay so much attention to somebody else\u2019s relationship.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy snapped, \u201cScarlet, what\u2019s with the attitude?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been respectful this whole time. If you don\u2019t think it\u2019s good enough, should I start bowing while talking to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she was finally chased out of Jeremy\u2019s office, she saw Xyla\u2019s wheelchair zooming out of the corridor. Her wheels almost sparked from the speed at which she escaped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xyla had been avoiding her for the whole day out of guilt. They only met when Scarlet went to give her an eye checkup. The results came back fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xyla murmured an apology. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to yell so loudly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour apology is worth nothing to me,\u201d Scarlet replied. She wasn\u2019t actually mad. \u201cYou give me trouble every day, anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTrouble? I\u2019m just looking out for you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xyla knew she had to take note of her surroundings this time. She looked around to check if the coast was clear before saying, \u201cIt\u2019s good that you\u2019re getting a divorce. Either way, you\u2019re so unhappy with William.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you guys were arguing in the hospital last time, do you know how crushed you looked? Even I felt like crying when I saw you\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet coldly called her out. \u201cStop with the act. We fought because of you, remember?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xyla started fidgeting sheepishly. \u201cI know I was wrong for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, she suddenly became determined about something. \u201cJust get a divorce. I\u2019ll introduce my brother to you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
