He continued, "Because this incident affects the future of us doctors, I once again join forces with the doctors who were persecuted in this incident and declare a strike. We will no longer perform any surgeries! Until Milena apologizes to us and compensates everyone for the emotional pain they’ve suffered during this time. Especially my student Kelly—she must kneel down and apologize to her!"
Kelly, eyes red and sobbing, said, "Mrs. Parker, I hope you will stop slandering me. Don’t send me to Africa. I’m the only daughter my parents have."
The comment section was flooded with patients’ families crying and begging me to apologize.
[My father’s illness really can’t be delayed any longer. He’ll die if he doesn’t.]
[Please, Mrs. Parker, just apologize! I kneel before you. Only Doctor Steven can save my daughter.]
I clutched the phone tightly. My calm heart finally shattered.
Steven called, threatening, "Milena, you don’t want your reputation to be ruined and the hospital destroyed, do you?"
I cried out, heartbroken, "Bitch! Steven, you bitch!"
