The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 62: Return To Rose Hills
“Doctor Shant, we have a patient that may
require an artificial heart transplant,” a nurse reported to Shantelle in her office.
She looked at the nurse and asked,
Artificial? Who is the patient?”
“Briana West,” the nurse said, her face forming a sneer.
Shantelle gasped. Briana West’s admission only meant one thing; there was an added pressure to push the same patient up to
the organ priority list, but was it right? Two
other patients with the same body type as her were also in critical care and need of a heart transplant.
It had been over a month since the last
threat to her life. Evan was discharged from
the hospital two weeks ago and was
recuperating in Rose Hills, all while
working.
When Keith and Evan suggested she leave Warlington, she seriously considered it, but as the days went by, it felt normal again.
Shantelle was back to her routine, with her bodyguards following her around. She and her father hoped there would no longer be
a threat to their lives with Peter Haris behind
bars. Moreover, it was very difficult to leave the foundation that she had already built in
Warlington.
However, with Briana West admitted into
the hospital, she wondered if anything would change.

Before Shantelle could think about the possibilities, the hospital president called her into a small conference room. She hurriedly
made her way to the meeting room and was surprised to see her father, Doctor Hale, and Doctor Park.
The president of the Warlington Hospital was a part owner and a veteran doctor,
Doctor Brian Wester.
“Doctor Shant,” Doctor Wester, the CEO, greeted. “Please take a seat.”
She greeted everyone. Only Doctor Park did not return her regard. She sat on the vacant seat and gave her father that question
mark look, but William was also clueless.
“I have good and bad news,” the CEO said. ”
The bad news is that we have an investor
who pulled out of the hospital. It’s a loss of
funds worth five billion dollars.”
“The good news is, we have a new investor.
He is willing to give the hospital ten billion dollars as an initial investment,” Doctor
Wester added. “Sadly, however, with the investment offer, it came at a price. They want change in management, particularly in
the surgery department.”
Shantelle and her father looked at each other before the CEO revealed, “There have been rumors of how Doctor Shant only got
her promotion because of Doctor Scott. Thus,
the new investor did not think it was wise to keep politics in the hospital.”
“That is not right.” Doctor Hale was the first
one to interrupt. “There was no one else qualified.”
“But that’s because Doctor Scott only prioritized Doctor Shant in the fellowship training,” Doctor Park interfered. “If he
gave me a chance, I would have been

qualified to be the chief surgeon.”
Shantelle’s mouth fell open. She pointed out, “You have led no heart transplants and
by-pass –
“Again, that’s because the opportunity was always given to you,” Doctor Park pointed
out.
“In any case, the decision is already final,” the CEO said. He looked Shantelle and
William in the eye, saying, “I regret to
inform you that we are letting you both go, Doctor Scott and Doctor Shant.”
Doctor Wester gave William a set of documents, saying, “Doctor William Scott, thank you for your service at Warlington Hospital.
We are offering you an early
retirement benefit, with an accumulated compensation of two million dollars.”
Turning to Shantelle, he
Shant, we are offering pressed, “Doctor
you one million
dollars as compensation for whatever
potential income you may have in staying in this hospital. It is with regret that
we have to let you go, but the potential losses are
greater should we not accept the terms of the new investor. In Doctor Scott’s place, Doctor Hale will be the new Medical Director
for surgeries, and Doctor Park will be the new chief surgeon-trainee...”

The rest of the news faded into the air like it meant nothing. Shantelle could not believe ner ears. Her heart was crushed
altogether, and tears stung her eyes. As the CEO continued outlining the termination contract’s conditions, Shantelle recounted

The rest of the news faded into the air like it
meant nothing. Shantelle could not believe her ears. Her heart was crushed altogether, and tears stung her eyes. As the CEO
continued outlining the termination contract’s conditions, Shantelle recounted
how many sleepless nights she spent at the hospital, saving lives.
All those years of practicing at the same hospital and efforts to make a name for the institution were nothing; it meant nothing to
them. To the hospital board directors and CEO, they were just employees who could easily be dismissed.
It hurt like hell. To think she meant to grow
her career in Warlington, and she considered the staff her second family.
“Do you have any questions?” Doctor Wester asked, his face showing no signs of
care.
“Just like that? You are going to let us go just like that?” Shantelle said in anger, her voice breaking in and out. “After all, we have
done for this hospital?”

From the corner of her eyes, Shantelle saw how Doctor Park rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile, the CEO exhaled, saying, “We
did not let you go just like that. You are compensated – ”
“It isn’t about the money,” Shantelle shot back. “Do you know how many offers I have received from other hospitals? So many,
yet I declined those because I whole-heartedly
rendered my service to this hospital – ”
“Then, now that you are free, you can accept those invitations.” The CEO suggested.
“But!” Shantelle rose from her seat in anger. However, her father cut her off.
“Enough, Shanty,” William said. “We will not waste our talent for this hospital. We will go elsewhere, somewhere worthy of our
skills!”
He ordered, “Sign the contract!”
“But, dad
11
“Sign it! And let’s leave this ungrateful facility!” William repeated. 3
***
In the succeeding days, following the announcement of Shantelle and William’s
termination at the hospital, Keith’s
company, Prima MedCare, discontinued his support at Warlingon Hospital.
While Keith had preferred that Shantelle
move back to Rose Hills, agreeing with Evan,

he also wanted to give her a face. He wanted to send a message that what the hospital did was wrong. However, despite that,
Warlington Hospital remained unmoved.
They were firm in letting Shantelle and
William go, not even caring to take back
their words.
When Evan heard the news, he flew to Warlington again without hesitation. He meant to support her in any way.
In the living room of the Scotts’ home, Evan offered to Shantelle.
“I wanted you to go back to Rose Hills, but not in this way, not when they have labeled
your promotion as a result of politics. I never wanted your credibility to be affected, ” he said. “I’ll hire a lawyer to make them pay
for what they did.”
“Alternatively, I can offer to invest in the hospital,” Evan offered. “If that’s what will make you feel better. They will certainly take
you back if I can offer a higher investment amount, and I will see to it that the CEO is replaced!”
Shantelle looked Evan in the eye. She gasped and asked, “Really? You would do that for
me?”
“Why wouldn’t I? They will pay for hurting my precious friend,” he meant it as a tease, and it worked like a gem for Shantelle
wound up smiling.
“Ah, Evan. I don’t know what to do with you, ” she said while leaning back in her seat.
“Well? What will it be?” he asked.
Just in time, Shantelle’s father walked in.
She and William glanced at each other, and he nodded. She nodded back. Before Evan
arrived, they had already come to a decision. It was only a matter of revealing it.
She turned to Evan and announced, “We

have decided... to return to Rose Hills.”
‘Return to Rose Hills.’ 1
‘Return to Rose Hills.’ 1

The words echoed in his head, making his
heart skip a beat. He kept his excitement
hidden. Evan nodded calmly, saying, “You won’t regret it, Shanty.”
“I sure hope so,” Shantelle replied.
“Excuse me, I – I need to make a quick phone call,” Evan excused himself. He
walked out of the Scotts’ home and into the driveway. He ordered Miguel to drive him two blocks away, and they pulled over at
an empty lot.
From there, Evan stepped out of the car. He
looked up at the skies and screamed, ”
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
“Yes!”
While Evan did not like how Shantelle was dismissed from the hospital, he could not help but thank the heavens for the
opportunity. To him, it was finally time to take the love of his life home. He felt guilty about being happy that he muttered, “I’m
sorry, Shanty, but YES!”
When he returned to the Scotts’ home, Shantelle waited by the door. She asked, ” That must have been some private phone call,
Evan. Did you have to drive away?”
“Oh, um.” Evan smiled, answering, “The signal was bad. Really bad.”
