"Surgeon Yu Yan," she heard a voice call behind her, she removed her stethoscope from the patient's chest then she turned around to see who the person is, it turned out to be one of the nurses she is not familiar with.

"What is it?" she questioned.

"The board wants you in the hall," the nurse answered, everyone present in the ward turned to her with their brows raised, they wondered why the board will suddenly summon her, although she was confused, she took care of the patient then hung her stethoscope on her neck and followed the nurse out.

They soon got to the hall, she entered after a knock on the door, she was surprised to see almost all the board consisting mainly of the doctors and very few shareholders, she slowly took a step forward to the front of the hall under their seemingly accusing and scrutinizing gaze.

The two people she wasn't expecting to see there, were unexpectedly seated in the hall too, Chen Kai and his mother, a bad feeling brooded inside her.

"Surgeon Yu Yan," one of the senior surgeons called to which she responded.

"Were you the one who spread rumours and posted on the board about the liver surgery involving one of the VIP patients?" the surgeon asked, her heart dropped, she already knew they were going to find out soon and she will have to do this sooner or later but somehow facing all these people, she just can't help feeling nervous.

"Yes," she answered after much effort to appear confident.

The hall became filled with murmurs immediately but was silenced when the madam slammed her hand on the table.

"How dare you?!" she yelled, with her fist tightly clenched on the table, it irked her to see the lowly surgeon who once seduced her son to try to find trouble for the hospital in this critical moment.

"I only did it out of a sense of responsibility as a surgeon, giving a liver transplant to a patient who has had alcohol within six months of the transplant is against the law, just because he is a VIP patient doesn't mean he deserves to get the liver which could have been used to save someone else," she boldly responded, her eyes showing just how determined she is to take her stand.

Fury bubbled inside her watching the impudent lady in front of her speak without fear or hesitation.

"Insolent!" She yelled, slamming her hand on the table again.

"Who do you think you are to interfere with the management, you are just lowly resident surgeon," 

Chen Kai kept his eyes fixed on hers as though he was begging her to look at him so his eyes can persuade her.

"It is exactly because I am a surgeon that I cannot sit and watch you take away the chance to live from a patient just because he is not an important shareholder of your company,"

They were even more surprised that she knows something so important but they are clearly not happy with it, the more she knows then the more trouble she is likely to find.

"Surgeon Yu Yan," one of the senior surgeons present cautioned her, they all know the importance of the patient and how much damage it will cause the hospital if they can't save him so they are willing to discard their morals in order to save him.

"I won't bother talking much with you, as long as you offer an official apology in front of all the staffs and stop spreading such ridiculous rumours then I will let you go or else-"

"I cannot do that," she interrupted

Angry stares filled their eyes as they murmured aloud, each scolding her for her boldness but she noticed someone different.

"Chen Kai," she muttered with her gaze directed at him, seeing them all accuse her made her wish for support, she suddenly wished Han Chen was in here with her.

"For the sake of your talent and hard work, I will give you another chance to rectify yourself, apologise to both patients and the staffs for the confusion caused and stop spreading such rumours then your only punishment will be a suspension," Mrs Chen continued, Yu Yan was starting to get riled up, her situation right now reminded her of how her mother lost the job she loved.

She was in a similar situation but she couldn't protect the less privileged patient so she quit out of guilt.

"How can you disregard the life of one for your benefit, if you let the patient have the liver transplant there is a high risk of complication which might cause the patient life, why can't you just use it for someone who is in dire need of it," she spoke in an agitated manner with her voice raised.

"You-"

"Yu Yan, mind your manners," Chen Kai warned, she turns to him then scoffed.

"You looked quite reluctant to be here so I thought you had a different ideology from them but you are just the same,"

He balled his fist in anger, he just hates this side of her, she has always made him feel inferior to her whenever she starts speaking of her morals and justice.

"Don't think too much of yourself, if you are fired by the hospital before your residency ends, which hospital will dare to accept you,"

He threatened even though he didn't mean to sound so harsh to her.

"Chen Kai!" She yelled in anger, hearing him speak of terminating her dreams.

Tears started welling in her eyes, she looked around the hall to see all of them so indifferent to injustice yet a less important person like her is being targeted for wanting to set the wrong right.

"I will say this for the last time, apologise and cease to end the rumours then you will only get a suspension otherwise..."

She made a threatening and intimidating look expecting the young lady to be terrified at the thought of ending her career even before she gets the chance to really start it but when her lips suddenly curled up into a smirk and she leaned closer to the mic in front of the hall, she knew this girl is more obstinate than she thought.

"I will stand my ground on this issue, I may be just an ordinary resident surgeon in your eyes unlike others who are from prominent families but my morals make me a better being than you are, if you still want to threaten me with my career then I advise you against it because the moment it goes down, I will waste no effort to let the media know what is going on in this hospital," she threatened with a firm gaze,  though she is pretending to look bold, inside her, the thought of losing her dream terrifies her.

"You insolent bitch," Mrs Chen cursed to their surprise as she sprung up from her seat then walked towards her with a fiery look in her eyes, Yu Yan clenched her fist waiting for her to stand before her, somehow, she already knew the woman intends to assault her.

"How dare you?" she yelled as she raised her hand against her face and brought it down until-

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her!"  an angry and agitated voice yelled from the entrance of the hall, she froze her hand in the air as she turned around to see who it is that dared interrupt their meeting.

"Han Chen," Yu Yan muttered, her weakened knees almost gave way but she managed to hold herself up.

Chen Kai who was just about to save her from his mother balled his fist seeing the man who took away the woman he loves defending her in front of them all.

The fury in his eyes is so evident that everyone could see it in his eyes, he inhaled deeply then walked swiftly to the front of the hall, he grabbed her hand then threw it down aggressively.

"Just because you are from the Jia family doesn't mean you can be impudent," she warned, threateningly.

He scoffed then moved a step closer to her as he held Yu Yan's hand.
