I pulled out a document and set it on his desk—the approval form signed in Darwin's own hand.
"This reckless ‘one-handed delivery' idea? It was personally authorized by Darwin."
"We're taking enormous risks, all to clean up after those two," I said flatly. "Director Higgins, I can handle the mess this time.

I pressed both palms against the desk, leaning in. "If Darwin isn't dealt with properly, this will happen again. And next time... I can't promise I'll be able to save this hospital."
Director Higgins' expression darkened.
Darwin was his protégé, someone who had followed him since medical school. But when the hospital's core interests were at stake, even a protégé had to be sacrificed.
Especially now—when saving Augustus' sister, Carmella, depended entirely on me.
"That bastard!" Director Higgins snarled. "Riding on my promotion, thinking he can do anything he wants!"
