My Cold Ex-Wife Refused to Move On novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 The Storm Unleashed

The family of the man quickly arrived, and from the staff’s explanation, they learned what had happened, Chase, seeing them arrive, immediately left with Blanc.

At first, he thought it was just a small matter. The troublemaker had been detained, and Chase focused all his attention on the upcoming consultation

But just two days before leaving, Blane suddenly burst out of the bathroom, holding his phone.

“Look online! They’ve posted about you saving that guy!”

It wasn’t unusual for doctors to have their rescue efforts posted online. Chase was talking to Wendy on the phone at the time and only brielly glanced at the screen, but he didn’t expect the headlines to be like this:

“Unprofessional doctor causes death during rescue!”

“Does this doctor deserve to continue practicing medicine?”

“Townsville doctor’s rescue efforts led to death!“.

“Hello? What’s going on?” Wendly, hearing the sudden silence on Chase’s end, quickly started checking the news for ‘Townsville.

Chase furrowed his brow.

His emergency procedures had been flawless. The man had suffered a heart attack due to being struck, and the doctor’s rescue had failed, which had been officially reported.

So why was this being posted online?

Wendy called out again on the phone.

“It’s fine. I… my teacher’s calling. I’ll call you back later,” Chase said, quickly hanging up the phone.

Clearly, Wendy had seen the trending topic. She immediately instructed Sammy to look into what was happening.

The next day, Chase was supposed to be performing surgery, but the situation had escalated so much that the deceased man’s family was causing a ruckus near the hospital, demanding an explanation from him. Ultimately, the team decided that Chase would step back from the final surgery,

Blanc was furious.

“These people are just looking to extort money,” Blanc stormed around their dorm, looking at the hateful comments on his phone. He was so angry, he almost wanted to turn the microphone on and shout back.

“Whatever. My rescue methods were professional, no problem at all,” Chase said nonchalantly.

“Nothing to hide,” he added. “I’m not worried about these rumors.”

But Blanc sighed after a moment of silence.

“You have no idea how powerful public opinion can be. Just listen to what the teacher says.

There were still some reasonable voices online.

Medical students reviewing the footage and monitoring angles deduced that Chase had acted with proper force, and the way he handled the situation wasn’t likely to cause death. But what people wanted to hear wasn’t justice–it was scandal. The righteous comments quickly got buried under the noise.

Crash!

Wendy threw something across the room.

Sammy stood outside the door, feeling helpless, and turned to Maggie. “Go get a new ashtray. Don’t go in just yet.”

Maggie turned and walked away.

After a few moments of silence, Sammy knocked and entered.

“Did you find anything?” Wendy was standing by the large window, smoking. Her expression was hidden from view as she stared out.

Sammy walked up to her desk, crossing her arms in front of her.

“I found something. The doctor’s conclusion is that the man died from a heart attack. According to the local police report, the man had congenital heart disease and should’ve had his medication with him. But from the video, I saw that no medication was found on him when they started the rescue. Zynn has already got the internet army involved.”

Wendy turned, her face grim after a long pause.

“Save all the evidence from those instigating netizens. Get the legal department ready. We’ll sue them all.”

“Understood.”

Wendy tapped her fingers on the desk, thinking about Chase’s helpless voice on the phone earlier. A wave of discomfort washed over her.

“Book me a flight. I’m going over today.”

Chase, now removed from the final surgery, was alone in the dorm. Contacting Wendy now would only worry her, so he buried himself under the covers, trying to sleep.

By around 4 PM, the surgery had already concluded, and Blanc rushed in, frantic.

“Not good, Chase. The family of the deceased is making a scene. They’re demanding the hospital hand

you over.”
