Bruno then pulled out his phone and began recording Katelyn as he said, “Look at this! This is how doctors at this hospital behave! They occupy VIP rooms while patients have nowhere to go.” His anger boiled over. “I’m going to expose this hospital’s corruption online and show everyone what’s really going on!”
Katelyn remained calm about her identity. She was still wearing her makeup anyway. However, Bruno’s actions left her feeling deeply disgusted.
Her tone grew cold. “So what if I’m using this room? I paid for it myself. I’ve been up all night performing surgeries. I’m completely worn out, and I deserve to rest here. The hospital found a room for your father. If you’re not happy with it, that’s not my problem. Who do you think you’re accusing?”
If possible, she’d rather resolve this physically. People like Bruno seemed to only understand physical confrontation. A few punches might quiet him down quickly.
Katelyn was already worn out from exhaustion, and the interruption before she could even get some rest only heightened her frustration. Bruno had just provoked her at the wrong time.
Their confrontation had attracted the attention of passersby in the hallway. Observers muttered to each other, “That doctor shouldn’t be here. If she’s that tired, she should use the on-call room. Why is she taking a VIP suite from the patients?”
Another person agreed, “Yeah, that seems unfair.”
Yet another interjected, “She paid for it anyway. Cut her some slack.”
Someone tried to speak up for Katelyn, but when they did, the disapproving glares from the crowd quickly silenced them.
Katelyn stared coldly at Bruno’s smug expression and spoke in a frosty tone. “Bruno Johns, is it? Is your father Merritt Johns?”
Bruno tensed up. He glared at Katelyn. “What? Are you trying to threaten me using my father?”

With that, he shoved his phone even closer to Katelyn’s face, as if afraid he might not get a clear shot of her.
Before Katelyn could reply, the nurse beside her intervened. “This is Hades. She’s the one who operated on your father.”
In that instant, Bruno’s demeanor shifted dramatically. He gazed at the young woman standing before him, likely in her early twenties, trying to wrap his mind around the fact that she was the famous Hades. Reflecting on all he had just said and done, regret overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
He quickly tucked his phone away and said with a regretful tone, “I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize you were Hades. I definitely deserve a scolding for my ignorance!” As he spoke, he even raised his hand, poised to slap himself.
Katelyn didn’t say anything. She watched him quietly, her demeanor one of cold detachment.
People like him tended to make quick judgments based on surface-level impressions. If she had been just another doctor, the footage he recorded would have been broadcast online by now, potentially devastating her career irreparably. The mere wrath of the public could be enough to ruin someone.
