"Unnie, why are you here? I was just about to look for you," Wonyoung mysteriously said.

"This is serious, of course I had to come."

"It looks like you know already?"

Lisa nodded...

"What should we do now, I'm a little scared. I never thought that it would become so serious. It's all over my WeChat friend circle and KakaoTalk, and a lot of friends were asking me about it. Although they didn't mention my name, I am still worried."

After all, Wonyoung was still young, so when something like this happened, she began panicking.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Right now I need to find the head nurse."

"I'll go with you. Let's go in from the side, not the front."

"Mhm."

After speaking, Lisa and Wonyoung prepared to go around to the back door. Just then, somebody yelled.

"Look, that is the nurse
Over there."

Suddenly, a swarm of people surrounded them. Most of them were with the patient, but some of them were reporters from small newspapers.

The regular media didn't dare to report the incident, but it was inevitable that some people would expose others for their own benefits.

"You are Lisa, right? As one of the parties involved, what do you have to say?" some reporters had throughly done their research and hence they recognised her in a minute.

"They're twisting the truth, the truth is not what they say it is. The pregnant woman did not experience any side effects. The family members are causing a scene because they want to extort a high settlement. They're purposefully defaming our hospital," Lisa calmly explained.

At that moment, the husband of the patient pointed at Lisa with a ferocious face and cursed, "Don't sling dirt at us, we didn't defame you! I am telling the truth. You are an evil nurse who obviously doesn't have a doctor's certificate, but you still pretended to be a doctor and operated on my wife. Now, both my daughter and my wife are suffering from post-op complications. Not only did your hospital fail to provide a statement, you are also deliberately pushing away responsibility. The most infuriating thing is that yesterday, few news outlets clearly promised to interview us and expose the hospital, but the hospital found someone to cover it up. This is too unjust, how do you expect citizens to live like this? Come on everyone, how is this fair?!"

The man's explanation sounded home-prepared, but spoken at that moment and paired with his livid emotions, many people believed him.

Wonyoung's face turned red from anger as she replied, "You liar, you're wrong. You tried blackmailing our hospital director for millions, and you slung dirt at him when he refused to pay you. You'll get karma for what you are doing."

"Then, Miss. Lisa, can you tell me if you're a nurse from this hospital?" A reporter stepped up, utilizing this opportunity to probe further.

"I am."

"You're a nurse in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, right?"

"Yes." Lisa nodded.

"Did you actually operate on that pregnant patient? There were no doctors present, correct?"

Lisa hesitated, knowing the reporter had asked a crucial question. Her answer would be considered an admission to everything.

At that point, she may push the issue past its breaking point. But, if she said no, she would be lying.
