"I declare, only love like this is worthy of marriage! If your boyfriend doesn't show up at the hospital, add one hundred thousand to the dowry!"
I rubbed my dry eyes and forced a bitter smile and said, "Stop watching. This doesn't concern us anymore. While we have time, let's print the divorce papers and get them signed. Once we're discharged, we can finalize everything."
Since my friend couldn't walk, we asked the nurse to deliver the papers to Jacob.
But as soon as we said this, the nurse hesitated, "Dr. Cruise did a great job with the emergency response during the fire and the hospital wants to use it for PR. He might be busy with interviews right now. Maybe wait until he's finished?" She nodded apologetically and left the room.
My best friend, fuming, slammed the divorce papers down on the bed and yelled, "He didn't even save his own wife and child and that's considered good work? An interview? He doesn't deserve one! What kind of hospital hires people like him? No wonder they're going out of business!"
After her outburst, she searched the hospital's official page and found an article and video praising Jacob for his actions during the fire. She immediately left a furious comment, calling him out by name.
I didn't stop her because I didn't think she was wrong. Just two minutes after the comment was posted, Jacob called to question her.
It can be seen that he was always paying attention to the direction of public opinion. My best friend snorted coldly and wanted to take the opportunity to talk about divorce.
But as soon as she pressed the answer and speaker buttons, Jacob's voice burst out, filled with unprecedented rage while he shouted, "Give the phone to Alana! Has she gone mad? That comment on our official page, it was from her, right? Are you two trying to ruin my career? Do you know how serious this is? The higher-ups are paying close attention!"
"Lily was injured in the fire and I was just doing my duty as a doctor. How can this be about cheating? Even if it was a stranger, I wouldn't have let them die! I'm a doctor. Saving lives is my duty!"
"I haven't even addressed the gas explosion yet! Thank goodness Lily isn't holding a grudge, but why is Alana acting crazy? Tell her to delete the comment right now, or I won't go easy on her!"
He hung up the phone abruptly.
