Stainley seemed to be finding excuses for himself no matter what he said. No matter what the truth was, he knew it himself.
However, it was not his business whether others believed it or not.
"Then aren't you familiar with her voice?" Theodore asked in a cold tone and frowned slightly.
At the same time, he was quite clear about the whole situation.
Stainley shook his head and said, "There has been a batch of new interns in the hospital recently. I don't recognize most of them yet, so..."
Benedict nodded and said, "That's true. These interns have only been here for three months and there's one of them in every department. According to his statement, it'll be difficult to find her."
"That's your hospital's business. The nurses take care of the patients. As the dean, are you just going to brush it aside?" Theodore put the blame on him.
It was he who was being problematic. He couldn't blame the others.
Benedict was lost for words. Speaking of this matter, it was related to him too. The point was that it was the volunteer who was hurt and it had nothing to do with him.
It was their responsibility to cure the patients. Who knew that the nurse had been bribed and caused this trouble?
"Mr. Lawson, can I look into this matter?" Stainley suddenly interrupted Benedict's thoughts.
He thought that since he was the only one who had seen a nurse, it would be best for him to investigate.
Benedict also hoped that someone would appear to take over this matter. In this case, he could leave it all to him.
"Wouldn't you be delivering yourself to their doorsteps if you were to kill someone?" Theodore's cold voice was slow, cutting Benedict off.
Benedict's face was livid. He was interrupted by someone again and again. Stainley didn't look well either. He asked, "What do you mean?"
"What I'm saying is that what if you're just talking nonsense and you're the one who ordered her to do it? What if you kill to silence her?" Theodore's mocking gaze successfully provoked him.
Stainley walked up to him angrily and said, "You have no right to frame me like this."
"This is a logical thought. I didn't frame you."
"You...”
Benedict's head ached when he heard the two of them arguing endlessly. "That's enough. Have you two finished talking?"
The two of them instantly fell silent and looked at the dean, who was sitting beside them.
Benedict said to Theodore in a low voice, "He is a doctor from our hospital and Everleigh's good friend. I believe that he wouldn't do such a thing. It's best to let him do it. After all, he's the only one who has seen the nurse."
Theodore's expression darkened a little. "You mean you believe him?"
"Yes, I believe in him. Even Everleigh is willing to believe him. Mr. Godfrey, I know there is a misunderstanding between you and him, but this is a matter of life and death. You can't be prejudiced in this matter." Benedict's eyes were firm. He believed in Stainley more than he believed in Theodore.
Theodore glanced at the gloomy expression on Stainley's face. The corners of his lips curled into a smirk. "Since the dean has already said so, it's not convenient for me, an outsider, to interfere. I'll just let you do it and wait for the result."
Benedict's expression stiffened. Why did he have a feeling that he had dug a hole and buried himself in this trouble?
After Theodore finished speaking, he got up, ready to leave. There were only Benedict and Stainley left in the large office.
"You've heard what I said just now. I guess you don't need me to say anything more about what you should do now," Benedict spoke in a deep voice, with an indescribable irritation in his heart.
Stainley did not speak; instead, he wanted to ask Everleigh, since she knew about it, why didn't she tell him?
Right at this moment, she was talking to Christopher on the phone. He was coming back so he had many matters to deal with. It was only in the morning that he saw the news so he called to ask her.
"How is the situation now?"
"Now, we're waiting for the results from the hospital, but Stainley's chances are bigger." She was very annoyed when she said this. She believed in Stainley, but it didn't mean that everyone else did.
Christopher remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Everleigh, but he felt that Stainley hated Theodore so much.
It was not impossible for Stainley to do something bad because of him.
