"It’s Mia Lawson,"
Austin Shepherd stated solemnly, a weight in his voice as he uttered the three words.
Flossie Wright remained composed.
As expected.
When held hostage in the hospital, selfish and self-interested, caring only about her own life.
Though there are many such people in the world and their behavior can be understood, they are not the kind of people Flossie Wright liked.
Weak, self-pitying, blaming others for their faults, impulsive, and reckless...
Very annoying.
However, she was the only option.
"What we mean is," Austin Shepherd glanced at the others before hesitantly looking at Flossie Wright, asking, "I want to first ask you, how do you think this should be handled?"
Raising her gaze, Flossie Wright inquired, "What can be done?"
Austin Shepherd, somewhat embarrassed, spoke quietly, "The hospital at the Military District..."
Seeing his hesitancy, Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow, interrupting him, "Downplay the seriousness?"
After a moment of thought, Austin Shepherd nodded grimly, "Pretty much."
Talking about such things to the person involved indeed made Austin Shepherd quite uncomfortable.
Flossie Wright was lucky to have sustained only minor injuries, but what if she hadn’t been so lucky?
If she hadn’t remained steady, and without Sandy Cruz’s help, had fallen from forty or fifty meters high?
Had she truly fallen, even if by some stroke of luck, survival would have been impossible.
Now, to ask her to "downplay the seriousness" and privately settle the matter with Mia Lawson, wasn’t that a complete disregard for Flossie Wright’s life?
He had no choice but to discuss it with Flossie Wright.
Some compromise had to be made.
If Mia Lawson’s actions were escalated to the authorities, not only would the hospital director be dismissed, but others would be implicated as well.
The cost was too great.

In choosing between Flossie Wright and the hospital...
Which side to choose was self-evident.
If they couldn’t "sacrifice" them, then they could only "sacrifice" Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright of course understood.
Her dislike of "trouble" wasn’t merely due to legal procedures; it was certain there would be interference, with people trying to educate her, persuading her in various ways to abandon such thoughts.
She didn’t want to deal with those people.
Because ultimately, the one to compromise would certainly be her.
Even the persuasion from Austin Shepherd, she had already anticipated.
In this world, there are always things beyond our control.
Human relations, reason, morality, ideals, principles...
They will always use these to pressure you into choosing the path they want.
Flossie Wright knew what she had to choose.
After a moment of contemplation, Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow and asked, "If I don’t object, what kind of punishment will they give Mia Lawson?"
With lips tightly pressed, Austin Shepherd furrowed his brow and said, "They’ll dismiss her."
"That’s it?" Flossie Wright laughed.
"She won’t be hired by any hospitals in the future," Austin Shepherd added.
To the side, Drake Easton and Nathan Foster remained silent, their faces stern, brows deeply furrowed.
It wasn’t clear what they were thinking, but Flossie Wright could see a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Helplessness about reality.
She believed they too were dissatisfied with such a result.
They were powerless as well.
They now stood on the side of persuasion, hoping Flossie Wright would accept the hospital’s response.
And Rowdy Brightwill, standing by Flossie Wright’s side with a taut face, had to conceal his rage and unwillingness underneath.
Heart-wrenching, painful, uncomfortable.
