Zhane shifted back to his usual stern demeanor, ready to speak, but the female doctor cut in before he could.
"Dr. Everett, please don't be angry. Since I worked under Mr. Hendrix for some time, when I heard he was hospitalized and gravely injured, I wanted to find a way to check on him and express my gratitude for recommending me to such a prestigious hospital."
"When the head nurse mentioned it was time to call you back for his round, I offered myself instead. I knew you were away, and since medication must be administered on time, I convinced the head nurse by explaining my connection to the patient. Please don't scold anyone; it was all my decision."
Zhane's brows lifted slightly at her explanation. Even Hera, who had remained quiet until now, turned her gaze on the woman, studying her carefully.
