That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

After waiting for a while without getting a response from Olivia, Dennis felt a bit embarrassed, his face slightly reddening. “I was just eager to get the child treated, it was out of good intentions.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned in unison.

Olivia’s expression also darkened slightly.

A young girl’s voice broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

“It’s your fault! You grabbed Simon and scared Charlie!” The little girl pointed angrily at Dennis.

She was the oldest among the children and had always been taught to take care of her younger siblings. Now, she just wanted to stand up for them.

Hearing the child speak like this, Dennis glared angrily.

If it weren’t for the presence of so many people, he would have scolded the little girl harshly.

“Dr. Dennis, I don’t deny your esteemed reputation, but since you made a mistake, you should apologize,” Cameron said, not wanting to waste any more time on the free clinic.

Hearing Cameron speak, Dennis’s expression stiffened. Ultimately, pressured by the Hargraves family, he forced a strained smile and turned to Olivia. “Dr. Prescott, I was too anxious earlier and didn’t consider the child’s situation. But I truly meant well, please understand.”

Olivia could see how reluctant he was but didn’t take it to heart. She smiled calmly at Dennis. “I believe you wanted to help the child. Moreover, it’s well-known that there’s only one acupuncture point for pain relief. Anyone else might have done the same, so I understand you. But the ones you should apologize to are not me but them.”

With that, Olivia stepped aside, revealing the children by the bedside.

The children’s tear-streaked faces hadn’t dried yet. Frightened by Charlie’s scare, they stood around the bed, bewildered and teary-eyed.

Many of the doctors present were parents themselves. Seeing the children’s state, they felt a pang of heartache and couldn’t find words to speak.

Dennis looked at the children with a grim expression and then glanced at Cameron.

Cameron frowned and looked at him noncommittally.

Clearly, he agreed with Olivia.

Dennis had no choice but to lower himself and look at the children, trying to make his voice sound sincere. “Kids, I’m sorry. Uncle was too anxious earlier and scared you. I just wanted you to cooperate with the treatment and get better quickly.”

The little girl scrutinized him for a few seconds before turning to look at the two boys he had scared.

The boys timidly nodded.

Seeing her brothers forgive him, the little girl turned back to Dennis. “Alright, we forgive you. But don’t scare us like that again. Charlie can’t be frightened.”

Dennis forced a smile and looked back at everyone as if asking if they were satisfied now that he had apologized.

Everyone could see his reluctance, but since Dennis had already gone this far, they didn’t press further.

Cameron spoke up to conclude the incident. “This matter is resolved. Please return to your posts, the children are waiting for you. And remember to be patient with them.”

Everyone agreed and turned back to their respective rooms.
