Chapter 325 - Terminated

"Jacob." Dr. Stella called out his name full of affection.

But Jacob's reply was cold as ice. "I heard about the incident in the Department of Surgery. Did you know that it is the negligence of duty? Are you aware of the consequences?"

"I'm sorry but, I cannot trust anyone except nurse J to assist me with the surgery. Of all the nurses, she is the only one that is most capable of." Dr. Stella tried to put up a good word towards J in the hope that Jacob would soften on her.

"Those nurses can assist in even complex surgeries yet you cannot trust them with CS and thinks that they are incapable?" Jacob smirk.

"I didn't mean that. It's just that. I got used to Nurse J's capability."

"I know. You got used to her capability that you became dependent on her." Jacob made a sarcastic comment.

"Jacob, what are you saying? It is not like that." Dr. Stella started to tremble to realize that her tricks have been found out.

This time Jacob stood up from his seat. "Why? Can't you perform an operation without my wife? All this time you have been relying on my wife's assistance so that you could successfully perform even a simple operation. Do you think I didn't know that? And yet, you dare plot against my wife during the race. What if something happened to her? Will you be able to bear the consequences? Didn't you realize that without her, you are nothing in this industry? I didn't realize that your stupidity has reached this low. I don't know what I've been thinking back then when I associated myself with you."

"No, no, no Jacob. This is not what you think." Dr. Stella's tears started to fall one by one as if she was the victim.

"If it is not what I think, then what?" Jacob became furious seeing that Dr. Stella is still trying to act innocent. "I've already seen thru you, Dr. Stella. It's time for you to drop your act."

Ever since she returns to the CLP Hospital, Jacob has been receiving reports and complaints about her from the patients and nurses saying how she misdiagnosed some patients and if it wasn't for the knowledgeable nurses, she might have given the patient with the wrong treatment.

There was also an incident when she wanted to perform a normal delivery to a breech position baby. When they received those complaints, Jacob instructed the Department of OB-Gyne and ER to lessen the patient to be assigned to her to avoid implicating the hospital.

And if ever she got any patients, the patients themselves personally transfers from other doctors. Jacob has long realized that having Dr. Stella will ruin the reputation of the hospital.

He was just waiting for the right time to terminate her. Until she stepped over the line and almost killed his wife for the second time. He knew he needed to act now.

"You may have kept your license with you but I guess your knowledge has long been gone. I suggest that you go back to where you've been this past five years and pick up the pieces of your brain that you've left behind. Starting today, you no longer work for this hospital." Jacob's words made Dr. Stella frozen in place.

Jacob pulled out a paper from his drawer and hand it to Dr. Stella. "You are terminated."
