Lauren POV

It was Victor.

Some people started gasping and Sam's face became pale as paper. Even though Victor was in a whee chair he was still quite domineeringly intimidating. He casually put his arms on the armrests and his golden eyes were flaring with deep coldness. Only one look could send shivers down their spines. "You want my attending doctor to resign?" Victor said with a hint of rage in his voice.

Sam's lips instantly turned pasty because of fear and anxiety. Hearing Victor's question, he stammere

..we can give you a better doctor."

I didn't know how to react to his words and even felt he was foolishly hilarious. No wonder he would be fooled by the person behind this. Victor looked at him frigidly, "Since when are you in charge?"

When being stared at like this, Sam was so scared that he was about to fall down on his knees. The powerful alpha voice made him want to lower his head instinctively and show his neck to this man. Now he was trying his best to fight back his instincts. He was sweating like crazy and his lips were trembling slightly, although Victor hadn't used much of his streng him.

Victor stopped staring at him and turned to Mila, "Dr. Blanco is my attending doctor and caretaker. I'm very content with her and hope I can invest in this hospital. What's your opinion on that, Miss Mila?"

"Of course I agree," Mila acted to be serious and nodded. She made way for him so he could go to her office and have a discussion on this offer. But then she turned around and gave me a mischievous look. Needless to say, Mila was teasing me about my relationship with Victor.

However, she needed to act cool in front of Victor and everyone.

"By the way," Victor tilted his head and said calmly, "Dr. Blanco and I have been having a wonderful tir Mila agreed, "Of course. We also don't wanna lose such an excellent doctor."

Sam's face went paler and the people behind him all quietly left Mila's office. Only a couple of interns Who dared to offend alpha Victor?

king together and I believe in her medical skill. And once she leaves the hospital, I'll cut off my funding and stop our cooperation."

urses who were close to him stayed with him.

"I'm not targeting Dr. Blanco," Sam still wouldn't budge when it came to this and he gritted his teeth, saying, "alpha Victor, I'm only doing this for the sake of the hospital and our patients. Dr. Blanco isn't a decent person and she shouldn't stay. Or...or else why would so many people come here and make a scene? It's all because of her! There must be something wrong with her!"

"Really?" Victor stared at him and stopped holding back his wrath, "however she behaves, that's none of your business and you don't get to judge."

Sam was petrified and his feet went weak. He clearly didn't expect that alpha Victor, who had fired more than a dozen caretakers before, would defend me, a weak she-wolf that had been banished from the tribe. He would never dare to talk back to Victor and just kept repeating, "I was just doing it...doing it for the benefit of the hospital..."

"What did they offer you?" I didn't want to waste more time on this conversation anymore and cut to the chase.

"What?" He obviously didn't expect me to be so blunt about this.

"What can you get after you kick me out of the hospital?"

Sam glanced at me and still wouldn't budge, "Due to your personal matter, they kept coming to the hospital and that affected my patients."

He was acting like he was the hero here.

If I hadn't known what they were up to, I might be impressed by what he said. Too bad that I wasn't a gullible pushover anymore. I said, "Dr. Wells, you knew Evelyn would come here today so you made your plan in advance and persuaded those doctors and nurses to join you. After Evelyn left, you came to my door and told them that Pierre and the other investors are withdrawing their investment so that you can kick me out of the hospital. Did they offer you money or a position?"

"Or did they tell you that once I'm gone, they'll help you climb your way up to the top and get rid of Mila by the power of the investors?"

The more I said, the paler Sam's face went. At first, he was still staring at me with those angry eyes but now he was too guilty to look me in the eye.

I looked down at Victor beside me and said to Sam, "Now that the issue about the investment is solved, Sam, you can make your choice now. You just said that if I stay, you'll leave."

The director of the hospital, Mila and the prestigious alpha Victor had all got my back and there was no chance of winning for Sam now. And he never expected that Victor would show up and help me out. He was at loss and didn't know what to say, "I...I was only thinking of the hospital. I didn't intend to force you to resign... Are you seeking revenge on me, Lauren?!"

"Today, you persuaded so many people to force us for your interests. Will you say yes to the people behind this if they order you to make a medical incident next time?" I asked coldly. I couldn't let such a doctor stay in the hospital.

Seeing how apathetic Victor and Mila were, he gritted his teeth, "Miss Mila, are you really gonna fire me? I've still got so many patients. Are you abandoning them too? You don't wanna take responsibility for them?"

"The responsible thing to do is to fire you," Mila said frigidly, and then she quickly dialed the phone, telling HR to handle his matter.

"The hospital isn't gonna shut down just because a doctor resigns," I told him the same thing he said to me, "the person behind this also has a hospital. Maybe she can get you in."

Sam couldn't take the blow and became petrified. He subconsciously mumbled, "That's impossible...I didn't finish the mission they gave me...They won't..."

Suddenly, Sam realized what he just said and looked at us, stunned. And Mila just kicked him out of the office and shut the door, putting an end to this absurd drama.

"I'll handle Sam's patients," I said to Mila. The reason why I got rid of Sam was that I didn't want him to do anything sneaky behind his patients' backs, which was why I should take responsibility for Sam's patients.

Mila patted my shoulder and winked at me, "I'll take care of everything. You don't need to worry about anything. Rest assured, things would've been much nastier if Sam stays. I might've had to hire someone to spy on him to make sure he isn't doing anything sneaky to the patients. Also, the most important client of our hospital is your patient. Just focus on his treatment. Am I right, alpha Victor?"

Victor didn't look so distant anymore. He had always been cold around people but now he even smiled at Mila after hearing what she said.

These two...

I acted to be bothered but actually, my heart melted a little. When I turned around and looked Mila in the eye, all of the doubts in my head vanished. We couldn't help laughing together and I guessed I didn't need her answer or explanation anymore. Mila and I were best friends and we would protect each other no matter what happened. This was the best answer I could ever get and there was no need for further questions.

But then Victor coughed a little with a straight face.

I finally thought of something and looked at him confusedly, "Victor, why are you here in the hospital?"

Hearing that, his eyes darkened.

Mila whispered to me, "Are alphas all so possessive? He's even jealous of me? Your best friend?"

Really? He's not that petty. I thought to myself.

But then I heard a gentle voice saying, "I'm here for you, Lauren."
