Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 989

But exposing even a fraction of their negligence would change nothing about reality—and could implicate the entire medical institution.

The attending physician lowered his head, neither confirming nor denying anything.

Khloe rose and walked slowly toward him. "Just a risk? Are you telling me there was truly no oversight at all?"

The attending physician's expression darkened further, and the other doctors nearby swallowed hard.

"I'm sorry, Khloe. But we… we did our best."

Hearing those words, a collective sigh of relief escaped the room. Arista buried herself further into George's embrace, sobbing.

"Khloe, maybe this is fate… Don't be too hard on yourself. Think about the baby," George said softly, unable to imagine anything else, simply offering gentle comfort as he held her.

Seeing the doctors before her hanging their heads in helplessness, Khloe's hand at her side tensed, fingers curling into a fist. Finally, she closed her eyes, drew a deep breath, and turned to leave.

Once the Hunt family had completely departed, the attending physician's assistant quickly dismissed the remaining team and shut the office door behind them.

"You mustn't be careless. The Hunt family is not to be trifled with. For the hospital's sake, this negligence cannot be ours to bear alone."

"But we were careless nonetheless. If only we had been more cautious—kept Nick under observation longer, treated Nick in time…"

The attending physician sank into the sofa, overwhelmed with self-reproach, burying his face in his hands.

"We could never have known just how dangerous this drug was. Even if we had acted in time, the outcome might not have been any better. They signed the consent forms themselves…"

"But not giving our all—surely we bear some responsibility."
