Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 522 Investigating Victoria’s Cause of Death…
The airplane streaked across the sky and quickly disappeared.
Mark looked toward Europe and spoke heavily, "Adrian, you’ll surely take good care of her, won’t let anything happen to her, right?"
After saying this, he turned around and left.
He boarded another plane at the airport, heading to M Country.
...
In River City, since the day Serena Sterling heard the nurses’ conversation, she increasingly felt there was something suspicious about her mother’s death.
The surgery was originally very successful.
Everything seemed normal.
If not for improper care, how could she have suddenly passed away?
You know, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Moreover, if her mother really died of natural causes, why would the chief doctor happen to be transferred?
Since that day, Serena Sterling continued recuperating in the hospital while constantly investigating the true cause of her mother Victoria’s death.
As a daughter, she needed the truth; she couldn’t let her mother die unaccounted for!
She found the two nurses whose conversation she had overheard that day, but no matter what she asked or begged, they kept their mouths shut...
Later, they would avoid her from a distance whenever they saw her.
She asked other nurses, but received the same result.
Unable to get anything from them, she considered other approaches.
She requested access to her mother’s medical records and all consultation records, but the hospital evaded her with various excuses.
That day, Serena Sterling went again to the dean’s office.
As soon as she came in, Dean Copeland spoke coldly, "Miss Sterling, what brings you to me?"
Serena Sterling stood firmly across from the dean, her gaze cold and sharp, "Dean, I demand to see my mother’s medical records and all consultation logs."
The dean smiled superficially, "That is Miss Sterling’s right."
After saying this, he continued before Serena could speak, "However, Miss Sterling should ask the doctor for the records, as this is a small matter I, as a dean, wouldn’t handle."
Serena Sterling, enraged, slammed the desk, "If the doctor was helpful, would I be here speaking to you?"
The dean kept a cold face, "What is Miss Sterling trying to do?"
Continuing, he said, "Fetching the medical records is the right of family members; Miss Sterling, just follow the proper procedures, and..."
"Don’t give me those clichéd lines, I don’t want to hear them!"
Serena Sterling interrupted coldly, her gaze frigid as she looked at the dean, continuing, "Your hospital obstructing my access to the medical records can only mean one thing: you’re hiding something! My mother’s death is definitely connected to this hospital! Or perhaps it’s due to your improper care!"
The dean stood up.
Looking at Serena Sterling, he said with an air of authority, "Miss Sterling, as I’ve mentioned, your mother’s death was due to not overcoming postoperative risks. Every surgery has risks, which all family members should understand; it’s clearly stated in the surgery agreement that seventy percent of brain hemorrhage patients dying post-surgery is common. Previously, your undue suspicions made me come here to sort things out, and I tolerated that due to your recent loss. Still, your groundless conjectures are..."
Serena Sterling pressed her hands against the desk, her gaze coldly confronting the dean, "Undue suspicions? If you’re not hiding anything, then show me my mother’s records and the surveillance."
Under Serena Sterling’s imposing demeanor, the dean involuntarily took a step back.
But it was just one step.
Looking at Serena Sterling, his attitude unchanged, "Miss Sterling, as I said, you simply need to follow the normal procedures to access the records."
Serena Sterling’s anger flared, her voice cold with threat, "Dean, don’t push too far! If you insist on obstructing my access to the records and surveillance, then I’ll have to seek help from the press!"
Upon hearing the mention of the press, the dean faltered.
No matter if there was an issue with Serena Sterling’s mother’s death or not, once the media reported it, the reputation of their First Affiliated Hospital would...
Mind you, their hospital had never experienced any negative publicity over the years.
Moreover, this incident was indeed quite suspicious...
The dean’s attitude softened.
Looking at Serena Sterling, he smiled and said, "Miss Sterling just wants to see the medical records and surveillance, isn’t that a small matter? Is it really necessary to trouble the press?"
Continuing in an official tone, he said, "However, if after reviewing the records and surveillance, it turns out your mother’s death was of normal causes, then Miss Sterling..."
Just then, the door to the dean’s office opened.
Malcom Moore walked in from outside, emanating a chilly presence...
Moments before, Malcom Moore had finished handling Morris Group matters and came to the hospital to visit Serena Sterling.
He had just reached Serena Sterling’s ward door, his hand on the door handle, when he heard voices from inside.
"You know, Miss Sterling really is stubborn; there she goes to the dean again."
"Indeed, stubborn and foolish! Imagine having Young Master Morris backing her and still insisting on investigating her mother’s death alone..."
Malcom Moore directly opened the door, looking at the caretakers in the ward, "What are you talking about?"
The two caretakers shook their heads in a panic, "Nothing, Young Master Morris, we didn’t say anything."
Malcom Moore’s eyes narrowed coldly, his voice chilling like never before, "I’m asking again, what are you talking about? If you don’t tell the truth, you can leave now."
These two caretakers were hired by Malcom Moore specifically to take care of Serena Sterling.
The treatment offered by Malcom Moore was generous, and their work was easy, so they naturally didn’t want to lose this job.
Without hesitation, they revealed everything they knew.
From them, Malcom Moore learned that Serena Sterling suspected something was wrong with Victoria’s death and had been investigating the matter; and also learned that Serena Sterling’s investigation hadn’t been going smoothly, and now she was causing an uproar in the dean’s office...
Having heard everything, Malcom Moore wasted no time and immediately left the ward for the dean’s office, leading to the scene of his entrance.
Malcom Moore strode in, directly standing beside Serena Sterling.
He looked warmly at Serena, inquiring gently, "Are you okay?"
Serena Sterling shook her head, "I’m fine."
Malcom Moore reached out, affectionately ruffling Serena’s hair, "Silly girl, why didn’t you tell me about such a big issue?"
Serena Sterling looked at Malcom Moore, speaking coolly, "You’re busy, I didn’t want to trouble you."
Malcom Moore: "..."
Was it really because he was busy?
He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that even if he weren’t busy, she might not have told him about this.
However, now wasn’t the time to delve into that. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Malcom Moore looked at the dean and spoke in a cold voice, "Dean Copeland, my fiancée only wants to access the medical records and surveillance. That doesn’t violate hospital regulations, does it?"
