---- Thad mentioned this situation to Maxwell. If Karina had real skill, I wouldn't care who received the patients' gratitude. She was nothing but an empty shell, yet still arrogant beyond belief. Sooner or later, someone innocent would pay the price for her incompetence. At first, Maxwell brushed me off with vague promises. Later, when I brought it up again, he got impatient and snapped, "Natalie, what's your problem? So what if Karina's younger and better than you? Are you really that jealous? Stop slandering her behind her back." After that, I stopped saying anything. Karina truly believed every successful surgery was proof of her own brilliance. So when the wife of that attacker was scheduled for surgery, Karina specifically asked Maxwell to keep me out of the operating room. She was afraid I'd steal the credit. Asa result, an innocent life was lost under her scalpel, dragging my child's life down with it. ---- Molly laughed heartily. "She submitted her resume to several major hospitals, but after just one surgery, she was immediately fired. No legitimate hospital would hire her again. "Eventually, she ended up bouncing between underground clinics, doing shady transplant procedures. But with her level of skill, those were way beyond her capacity. Of course, they had ended in failure. A furious patient's family shot her dead on the spot."
