Chapter 128Â
“Who is this?” Marissa looked Dorothy up and down, her eyes full of disdain. “So it’s Dorothy the simp.”Â
Sonia heard Marissa belittling Dorothy in front of others and felt secretly delighted.Â
One more person disliking Dorothy would make her happy.Â
“Why was Dr. Acosta called a lickspittle?”Â
“I don’t know…”Â
Two nurses on duty at the nurse’s station were gossiping with each other, but when they caught Dorothy’s gaze, they awkwardly returned to their positions.Â
Marissa saw this scene, crossed her arms and laughed, “What, you also know how to lose face, if I had known earlier, why bother in the first place?”Â
Dorothy averted her gaze and said in a flat tone, “Is Ms. Lambert here to defend a friend?”Â
“Dr. Acosta, you misunderstood, I didn’t know you knew Marissa, nor did I expect any grudges between you… Sonia still removed herself cleanly, as if she was the one being bullied, the most innocent one.”Â
“Dorothy, how dare you accuse Sonia?” Marissa pushed Dorothy away and shielded Sonia behind her. “When my brother was forced to break up with Sonia, you came running to flatter my brother and even tried to get close to him! Now that Sonia has returned to her country, you better leave my brother alone!”Â
Several nurses who were gossiping behind the scenes were shocked to hear this.Â
“Her brother? Is she Mr. Lambert’s sister?”Â
“Oh my goodness, Dr. Acosta has had a relationship with Mr. Lambert…”Â
“No wonder I always felt something strange between Mr. Lambert and Dr. Acosta, but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. So they were togetherÂ
before?”Â
“Marissa, please stop.” Sonia grabbed Marissa, looking very distressed. “I am colleagues with Dr. Acosta, I don’t want you to make things difficult for her because of me. How can she continue working at the hospital in the future?”Â
Marissa clicked her tongue and patiently explained, “Sonia, you have a good temper, so you deal with her! She’s just a little lapdog.”Â
With that, he went on to mock Dorothy, saying, “Besides, as long as my brother is still cooperating with Dewbury Medical Center on equipment projects, with her thick skin, can she really not stay? Wherever my brother is, she won’t leave, just like a mangy dog that can’t be driven away.”Â
