?Chapter 1421:


    “Furthermore, I believe she needs an urgent psychiatric consultation. The patient shows strong aggression, signs of persecution, and emotional instability consistent with acute mental disorder symptoms,” Maia said in a steady voice,pleting her assessment.


    The nurse nodded at once. “Understood. I’ll get right on it.” She hurried away, one hand still pressed to the cheek Rosanna had struck red.


    Realizing that everyone was moving on without her, Rosanna fell into a frantic panic. She thrashed and shrieked, desperate to force sympathy from the people around her. “Maia Watson! Don’t you walk away from me! You’re standing there watching me suffer — what kind of doctor behaves like that?” Her sharp voice cut through the hallway.


    Maia slowed her steps.


    A flicker of triumph crossed Rosanna’s twisted expression. “What, aren’t you the one wearing the doctor’s coat?” she called out.


    A momentter, a sharp ache tore through Rosanna, and she sensed at once that something was terribly wrong. “Wait — when did you be a doctor?” The figure standing before her seemed to take on a monstrous shape in her mind as Maia’s many titles rose all at once, and the sight left Rosanna frozen. “What are you supposed to be? How did you manage all of this?”


    A deeper ache settled in Rosanna’s chest, stinging far more than the injuries on her body. She could not bear the thought of Maia surpassing her. She was the true daughter of the Morgan family, while Maia hade from a poor neighborhood — a ce she had always considered beneath her.


    “You’re nothing but a liar! You must be pretending to be a doctor. You only came here to enjoy my misery. Maia Watson, you’re cruel! I never should have believed you rose to the top on your own. Someone powerful must have cleared the way for you. None of your sess feels earned — while I pushed through every hardship one slow step at a time, so how did I end up behind? This cannot be right!”


    Rosanna’s wild, poisonous voice rang through the hall. Unable to ept that Maia had outshone her, she hurled even uglier words.


    The uproar drew attention from those nearby, and curious eyes began to gather. Among them, a nurse trembled with quiet anger. She knew better than anyone how much effort Maia put into her work — every night on duty, she had seen Maia practicing long after the others had gone home, the lights in the operating room burning well past midnight. Respect for Maia’s dedication had long since spread through the hospital. Watching this unhinged woman spit lies about someone she admired pushed her patience to its limit.


    Maia turned around slowly. She almostughed at herself for ever having wasted sympathy on someone like Rosanna. Perhaps it was nothing more than her own gentle nature getting in the way.
