“So you’re
Brian’s expression darkened.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Oh, nothing. I was just wondering why you’re so loyal to Caleb. He’s an outsider after all.”
Irritated by my implication, Brian’s face turned livid.
“Then who are you Loyal to?” he asked icily
The tension in the atmosphere was so thick that one could’ve sliced through it with a knife.
Finally, Caleb couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Debra, just let
Brian go. I was the one who asked him to show me your medical records
He’s a good doctor. He won’t show your medical records to anyone else.”

Only then did I pull my focus away from Brian
Caleb was right; he was the chief culprit, not Brian. I shouldn’t have vented all my anger on the latter
I withdrew my hostile eyes away from Brian. Just then, I happened to catch a glimpse of a photo on his desk
It was a picture of him and a woman. I knew the woman in the photo-it was none other than Emily’s attending doctor, Melany.
He knew MeLany?
My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
The two were both doctors, but they couldn’t be more different. Melany gave up on her high-paying job in the hospital to save the small town in secret. Brian, on the other hand, stayed cozy in his job in the hospital and even leaked private information of his patient to Caleb
It was so damn upsetting.
The difference between them was really huge.
Noticing that I was staring at the photo, Brian asked curiously, “Do you know Melany, too?”
His voice pulled me back to my senses. I immediately shook my head and said, “No. I just thought that she’s very beautiful.”
I didn’t want others to know that I knew Melany, lest I bring her any trouble.
Brian’s expression softened. Smiling slightly, he said, “Yes, she’s a very beautiful woman.”
Honestly, I was hell-bent on reporting Brian to his superior, but after finding out that he knew Melany, I decided to give up on that idea
For Melany’s sake, I’d let him go for the time being.
