Chapter - 35 - Hypocrite

Stanley saw Dr.Jason walking towards them so he stood up quickly and greeted him with respect. Everyone followed his suit and greeted Dr.Jason. Zane also greeted him but Jason gave him a deadly stare and Zane felt uneasy. 'Why is he looking at me like that? Did he listen to our conversation? Oh no! These guys are in trouble!! But why does his stare give a psychopathic vibe?' thought Zane, staring back at Dr.Jason's eyes.

The group could clearly feel the rage, Dr.Jason exuding at that moment and had a bad feeling about it. 'Don't tell me he heard our conversation!!! I am DEAD!' thought Ralph, observing Dr.Jason's expression. Jason felt like tearing Zane into pieces but he tried his best to control the urge and talk it out like a gentleman.

"I will be there in a few minutes, now take care of the glass injury first." said Gianna and hung up the call. She walked towards the station but heard Jason questioning Dr.Zane with so much arrogance. Jason took a deep breath and asked, "Is the emergency room shifted to the fourth floor or am I on the wrong floor, Dr.Zane?" Zane controlled his laughter thinking how petty Dr.Jason is acting now! "You are on the correct floor, Dr.Jason." said Zane, calmly looking at Jason's face.

"Oh is it! Thank you for letting me know. Did the higher officials give you a post here in Silver Crest to flirt and spread rumors? With such a sense of duty, I advise you to quit being a doctor?" Zane was enraged by Jason's response.

Zane glared at Jason and said with a sarcastic smile, "I didn't know Dr.Jason was so petty to be bothered by such rumors. Also, I do have a sense of duty and activate it when it is needed. At other times, I relax just like a normal human being." Jason clenched his fist listening to Zane's casual reply and looked away from Zane's face to control his anger.

"And Dr.Jason, I really don't need to flirt around when I am so good looking!" said Zane deliberately to make Dr.Jason more irritated. Jason wanted to walk away so he would not lose his made up character but noticed Ralph smirking at Zane's narcissistic remark towards Jason.

Jason pointed his index finger straight at Ralph's face and said, "You!! Keep smirking. Eventually you will be on your knees begging me to re-evaluate your performance scores. Not even Gianna can protect you at that time." Ralph was shocked hearing Dr.Jason's words and wanted to clear the misunderstanding then and there but didn't know how.

"Dr.Jason, you have misunder–" "Why won't I be able to protect my resident, Dr.Jason?" Ralph was cut off by Dr.G and everyone was relieved seeing that Dr.G had arrived for their rescue. Zane made a way for Gianna and she stood in between Jason and the others like a savior.

Jason never expected Gianna to walk around after two surgeries back to back and yet she was here questioning him for the sake of others. Jason felt Gianna was being insolent to reprimand him in front of his juniors. Jason didn't want to hold in anymore because he surely treasured his reputation more than Gianna.

"You won't because you can't meddle with my business," said Jason in a steady voice. "Dr.Jason, don't you know that businesses are there to meddle with just like rules are made to break?" Jason looked at Gianna with disbelief and said in a raised voice, "You can be a genius but remember you are my junior and you are not supposed to show such attitude in front of the residents!"

Gianna let out a sarcastic laugh and said in a steady loud tone, "Don't be a hypocrite, Dr.Jason. Didn't you question Dr.Zane's sense of duty just now? Where was your sense of duty when you threatened your resident? Is this kind of attitude alright to be shown in front of your juniors?" Also, I never claimed myself as a genius but if you think that I am, that's your problem."

Dr.Jason was taken aback by her authoritative tone towards him while the group gaped at Dr.G's response. "Also, I never claimed myself as a genius but if you think that I am, that's your problem Dr.Jason." said Gianna with an icy tone. Jason was too shocked to reply and continued to stare at her because he never thought Gianna could be so intimidating.

"What's happening here? Do you think this is your house to raise your voice as you wish?" Everyone was startled to hear another loud voice coming from the corridor and looked over only to see Dr.Henry standing there shooting lasers towards them.

Dr.G, Dr.Jason and the others immediately turned and greeted Dr.Henry. Dr.Henry walked towards them and asked looking at both Dr.G and Dr.Jason, "What is happening here? Why are you both behaving like an intern? Do you both think you own this hospital just because you are attending physicians?"

He looked at the group behind Gianna and asked, "Who is this new face?" The group looked at Dr.Zane and didn't know what kind of trouble he would face now as Dr.Henry was here.
