The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 352

"Zeus, you've always been the most promising young doctor in this hospital. How could you make such a rookie mistake?"

Zeus had become an attending physician in his twenties; looking across the entire country, that was an exceptional achievement. The Director couldn't fathom how he dared to dig his own grave like this.

Faced with the Director's disappointment and confusion, Zeus remained silent. What could he say? That he had been provoked into irrationality by Leilani? That he was desperate to prove he was better than her? Saying those reasons out loud would only make him look pathetic.

The Director, seeing his silence, shook his head helplessly. "For this incident, a formal reprimand will be placed on your file, and your surgical privileges are suspended for one week. Go home and take some time to reflect on yourself."

Walking out of the office, Zeus's steps felt as heavy as lead.

The hospital was like a small, enclosed ecosystem; within half a day, the news of Zeus's near-disaster in the OR had spread through the entire building. The fact that Zeus was their star doctor only made the gossip travel faster.

In the corridor, a few passing nurses whispered among themselves, glancing at him with a mix of curiosity and pity.

"Did you hear? Dr. Sloan almost caused a major accident today..."

"Seriously? Isn't he usually super steady?"

"Who knows? Maybe the pressure finally got to him..."

"Dr. Sloan is in trouble now. I heard the Director was furious. I wonder if it'll go on his permanent record."
