Chapter 458

She had a sleek figure and she carried herself with grace and elegance.

With dark and silky hair, porcelain skin, and sparkly eyes, she was the epitome of beauty.

Her voice echoed around the lecture theatre as she spoke.

“Misdiagnosis is particularly high amongst female patients, due to the resemblance of its symptoms to acute

appendicitis. To date, the First Hospital has taken in three thousand and eighty-seven female patients complaining

of acute abdominal pain, in which fifty-nine of those cases were misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. This is not a

small number,” she said.

The convincing evidence made the med students’ ears prick up.

“As doctors and nurses, our jobs don’t just stop at dealing with case after case of different illnesses. We are

responsible for the lives of our patients, and we cannot afford to make even the tiniest of mistakes. I’m sure you

understand the repercussions of misdiagnosis from the examples I gave earlier,” she continued. “Principal Potter?”

Principal Potter, who had been listening to her lecture attentively, jumped when she mentioned his name. He stood

up immediately. “Yes, Dr. Berry?”

Ashlyn showed him a thumb drive. “The slides for today’s lecture are in this thumb drive. I hope you can help me

out and give every student here a copy of the slides for self-study.”

Everyone was shocked.

She’s willing to share such a rare gem?

Ashlyn left immediately after the lecture, only to bump into a young police officer standing by the door.

“Ms. Berry?”

“Yes?” she asked, slowing to a halt.

“We need you at the police station,” the police officer informed her awkwardly.

She could tell that Blair and Tinsor were in trouble by the look of it.

She arrived at the police station soon after.

The moment she entered, she saw a man sporting a grim expression standing beside Hayden, with one hand in his

pocket.

Hayden stared at the tip of his shoes. The wounds on his face had been cleaned and dressed.

Dixon glanced at Blair and Tinsor before he scoffed. “You’re asking me for help just because you got beat up by

these two gangsters?”

“Dixon...” Hayden whined. The Haddock family had plenty of sons, but Dixon had eliminated the rest so that only he

and his blood brother, Hayden, were left. The latter feared Dixon greatly.

He began to panic when he realized that Dixon did not have his back this time around. To Hayden, however, nothing

mattered more than taking revenge. “Dixon, that scary woman is back...you have to help me!”

“Which scary woman?” a crisp voice rang from the doorway.

Hayden trembled when he realized whom the voice belonged to. He rushed to hide behind his brother’s back. “It’s

her!”

Dixon raised his eyes lazily to look at Ashlyn.

A cold grin spread across his lips. “Oh, it’s Dr. Berry. My grandfather’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning,

am I right?”

“That’s correct,” Ashlyn answered, before turning to Hayden and raising an eyebrow at his rapidly paling face.

“Hayden, are you trying to stop me from operating on your grandfather?”

Hayden took a deep breath, almost choking on air.

The truth was clear: Ashlyn had been the surgeon operating on his grandfather!

Oh my! Help me!

He began to shiver violently.

Before he knew it, Dixon had grabbed him by the arm and shoved him onto the floor with a kick.

Hayden fell to the floor by Ashlyn’s feet with a loud thud.

“Ah! It hurts!” he screeched.

“Apologize to her!” Dixon ordered.

Hayden’s eyes reddened as he trembled uncontrollably. “I’m sorry, Ms. Berry...it’s my fault! I shouldn’t have picked

a fight with Blair and Tinsor!”
