Chapter 378 Following Nathan in the Future? (4)
After a long silence, Jessica finally spoke, "I won't forgive you because you shattered my dreams about this profession and forced me to face such darkness. But I will let you go because you made me realize how much the person I love, loves me. We're even now."
Cynthia was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Jessica! I will leave Ocean City and never appear in front of you again. I apologize for everything I did before."
Jessica pursed her lips and said, "I hope you can become a responsible doctor in the future. These words shouldn't come from a student like me. Actually, you are my senior. But it was a life after all. Do you ever feel guilty when it's quiet at night?"
Cynthia broke down and cried, saying, "How could I not feel guilty? Since that incident, I haven't had a good night's sleep. Every time I close my eyes, the face of that patient appears before me, and I always wake up from nightmares."
Seeing her like this, Jessica could tell that she truly knew she was wrong.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Cynthia anymore because, at the very least, Cynthia had made her realize how deeply James loved her and that he had always been silently supporting her from behind.
Jessica walked out of the duty room and looked at the clear sky outside the window. The gloom of the past few days seemed to have dissipated.
When she returned to the office, everyone gathered around, curiously asking her how she planned to deal with Cynthia.
Some people, who enjoyed stirring up trouble, even urged her not to let Cynthia off the hook.
Jessica just smiled and let it go.
She wasn't a three-year-old child; she could naturally tell who genuinely cared for her and who just wanted to watch the drama.
Cynthia completed her resignation procedures that day and left Ocean City University Hospital in disgrace.
This incident caused quite a stir.
Now, with Cynthia gone, the cardiothoracic surgery department faced a new problem that there weren't enough people on duty!
As the head of the cardiothoracic surgery department, Nathan volunteered, "Until the new doctor reports in, I will also take part in the duty shifts. Jessica, you'll be on duty with me from now on."
Jessica was quite happy about it. After all, only by being on duty could she learn real skills.
Others were also very envious.
A few single female doctors couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, if I could be on duty with Professor Howard, I would be willing to just look at his handsome face every day!"
Another colleague chimed in, "Me too. I always have trouble sleeping the night before my shift, feeling extremely anxious. But if Professor Howard were with me, I definitely wouldn't be anxious."
They never thought that after all their hard work, they would end up envying an intern.
Jessica had no idea she was being talked about by so many people.
Today, she felt lighter than ever before, as if everything had become bright and beautiful.
After work, she immediately returned to Gerald's ward.
Passing by the garden, she even picked a few bunches of plum blossoms.
Even Gerald noticed that she looked different than usual.
Gerald asked, "Jessica, why are you so happy today? Is there something good? Share it with me."
