Tessa had expected someone to stop her as she walked into the room, but to her surprise, no one moved.
Everyone remained calm, as though she were the only one in the room who didn’t belong.
It felt as though everyone was silently watching her make a fool of herself.
Realizing this, Tessa’s pride took a hit.
But she was already so close to the door that turning back would seem out of place.
If she was going to play this part, she might as well commit fully.
Otherwise, it would all seem too staged.
With that thought, she gritted her teeth and pushed forward.
At that moment, even Kenneth, let alone the oblivious Wendy, noticed something was off.
It was clear that Tessa was just stalling.
She had no intention of finding anyone; she was simply dragging things out.
Wendy almost burst into laughter but caught herself under Kenneth’s watchful gaze.
Tessa had no choice but to close her eyes and march forward, forcing herself to move.
What she really hoped for was that the doctor would arrive soon.
Otherwise, she’d be left alone in this incredibly awkward situation.
What was she supposed to do alone in this mess?
Lucas didn’t even spare her a glance.
She was nothing but a clown in his eyes; no need for him to waste any energy on her antics.
And really, with the way Tessa was acting, it was obvious she had something to hide.
Otherwise, why would she hesitate so much, as though someone was holding her back?
With no other choice, Tessa swung open the door to the room.
Just as Tessa stepped forward, she collided with Jackson who was being stopped by the people outside the door.
Jackson was sweating with anxiety, desperately explaining to the people blocking him: “I’m not here to cause trouble! I’m the attending doctor for the patient in this room!
“How can you keep a doctor outside? What’s going on here? Is there no sense of decency?”
Jackson’s face turned pale with frustration, his words growing more urgent.
Earlier, he had been in his office when Julian suddenly came to him, urgently asking him to go to Aurora’s room immediately.
He was told to inform the doctors inside that Aurora couldn’t be moved to another hospital at the moment,

or it would risk further harm to her body.
At first, Jackson hesitated, but Julian didn’t give him a chance to think it over.

He practically dragged Jackson out of the office and told him to bring the medical files and rush over.
But when Jackson arrived, he ran into this stubborn group of doctors blocking his way.
Despite his pleas, they wouldn’t let him in.
His patience was wearing thin, and he was close to losing his temper.
He was the attending doctor at this hospital, after all.
How could these foreign doctors so easily push him around?
It was ridiculous!
Just as Jackson was about to explode, he saw Tessa rushing out of the room.
Though they hadn’t met before, a sudden understanding passed between them, and they both immediately realized what was going on.
Tessa spoke first, taking the initiative. “You must be my sister’s attending doctor, Dr. Watson, right?”
Jackson immediately nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
“I heard the family was planning to move her to another hospital, so I rushed over as quickly as I could.”
Tessa deliberately left the door ajar, ensuring their conversation was loud enough for the people inside to hear clearly.
