Chapter 42 The Tide Turns
Thanks to the camera angle, everything was crystal clear from start to finish.
Nathan, a rising star in cardiothoracic surgery, broke it all down in the video below.
Turns out, his sister had filmed the scene while passing by Ocean City University.
Nathan had been abroad for years, buried in research, and was out of the loop on local happenings. He only heard about this incident during a casual video call with his sister.
Shockingly, Jessica, the hero who saved a life, was falsely accused by the family.
Nathan immediately asked his sister for the video. After releasing it, he explained Jessica's life-saving actions.
In the video, Nathan said seriously, "From start to finish, Jessica's techniques and measures were spot on, including the medication, which is a standard asthma treatment."
He ended the video with, "If saving lives is treated like this, how will our doctors and medical students handle emergencies in the future? How many innocent lives will be lost because they can't get timely help?"
Nathan's video blew up.
Many professors and medical experts saw it and rallied to defend Jessica.
Jessica could hardly believe her eyes.
Those who had insulted her online started cursing the ones who had slandered her.
A Netizen: [That old lady deserves to die! What kind of good person raises such kids?]
A Netizen: [Exactly, those kids are ungrateful! They just wanted to extort money from Dr. Evans!]
A Netizen: [Poor Dr. Evans saved a life and still got wronged; it's just not fair!]
The tide turned, and Jessica went from being a public enemy to a hero.
Soon after, Jessica got a call from the president of Ocean City University, inviting her back to school.
The president formally apologized, "Jessica, you've been wronged. The school is also at fault for not investigating thoroughly, almost causing you injustice."
Though Jessica still felt some resentment, she didn't want to give up her studies.
Medicine was her mother's lifelong passion, and she wanted to carry on her legacy.
The president warmly said, "Jessica, you must come to school tomorrow. Rest assured, the school will clear your name and let everyone know about your heroic deeds."
Jessica politely replied, "President, you're too kind. I'll definitely be back on time."
After hanging up, Jessica finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Everyone knew the truth and had cleared her name.
Except for James, who hadn't shown any sign. He was probably still with Rose, too busy to care about her feelings.
The next morning, Jessica went to school on time.
It was her first time back since the school had ordered her to suspend classes for reflection.
Because of the life-saving incident, she had become a highly noticed figure at school.
After all, it was Nathan, the youngest and most handsome professor at Ocean City University, who had helped clear her name.
Classmates surrounded her, asking all sorts of questions.
"Jessica, we're sorry, we misunderstood you."
"Yeah, but every cloud has a silver lining. Being noticed by Professor Howard gives you an edge for his grad program!"
"By the way, did Professor Howard say if he'd accept you as his grad student next year?"
