Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 822

All of a sudden, Elaine froze. She stood rooted to the ground and silently tried to digest what she just heard.

Sighing, the cleaner continued, "Dr. Perkins is a nice guy. He smiles at everyone and is very caring, especially to old people like us. However, I had no idea he is such a pervert..."

"I know, right. That's why people say you can't judge a book by its cover."

"Do you think these rumors may be fake?"

"I doubt it. I saw the police come yesterday. The Director was surprised as well. He even fired Dr. Perkins..."

Upon hearing this, Elaine could not take it anymore. She walked up to them, eagerly wanting to find out the truth. "Hello. May I know which Dr. Perkins were you guys talking about just now?"

One of the cleaners looked at her suspiciously. "Who are you? Why do you want to know that?"

"I have a friend who is a doctor working in this hospital. His surname is Perkins. I was a little worried when I heard you mentioning Dr. Perkins, but I'm not sure whether you're talking about my friend, so I wanted to make things clear."

In the face of Elaine's polite behavior, the cleaners' suspicion was dissipated.

The cleaner who had been lamenting over Howard told Elaine, "We're talking about Howard Perkins. He's a young man. Is he a friend of yours?"

Howard Perkins...

They even had the same name. It must be the Howard she knew then.

In fact, a lot of suspicions fell on Howard, but Elaine chose not to believe it. She wanted to confirm it with the cleaners...

Yesterday, when Howard came home, he looked so exhausted...

Not to mention he broke the television today...

And the delay of newspapers delivery...

The incident must have been reported on television and in newspapers. To not let Ronan worry, Howard came up with these ideas to keep the news from him.

When Howard arrived at the door of the operating room, he realized that Elaine was long gone.

Taking out his mobile phone, he noticed he had a missed call. However, the phone rang only for a few seconds.

His cell phone was on mute just now, so he did not realize his phone was ringing at all...

Then, he called Elaine. "Where are you?"

"Ms. Kaur and I are in the ward."

Elaine's voice sounded a little strange, but Howard did not think much about it. He spoke in a low voice, "Tell me the ward number. I'll go find you."

Hence, Elaine told him the ward number.

After finding the ward, Howard pushed the door open and went in. Coming into sight was Elaine, who was sitting in a chair, watching TV with the remote control in her hand.

"Elaine..."

He entered the ward and closed the door. "Why did you come here without telling me? What are you watching?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Howard suddenly thought of something. Snapping back to his senses, he immediately turned his head to look at the television.

The news was playing on the television, and an anchorwoman was reading the latest news. "A male doctor reportedly misused his power by sexually exploiting a female patient. Sources also said that the doctor was once involved in medical malpractice..."

No names were mentioned in the news.

Silently, Elained looked at Howard.

Only then did she notice that he was frozen to the spot.

"Dr. Perkins..."

Elaine called out to him, "I won't tell Grandpa. Don't worry."

Slowly, Howard came to his senses and pursed his lips. "How did you know it was me?"

Then, Elaine told him about how she overheard the conversation between the two cleaners in the corridor. Upon hearing that, Howard sneered.

Turning off the television, Elaine got up and walked up to him, "Dr. Perkins, I know you were wrongly accused. You will be fine. I believe in you. There will be justice for you."

Glancing at her, Howard asked, "How do you know that I'm wrongly accused?"
