Chapter 48
Caylie’s eyes went wide with shock and disbelief. “What? You’re resigning?”
Henrietta was the kind of student who barely got by in school, so she had very poor medical skills when she first joined Apricot Hall.
She had tried applying for jobs at many hospitals before, but they all rejected her.
Caylie once asked her if she would be willing to relearn everything from scratch. Henrietta said yes and expressed her regret for not working harder while she was in university.
Sure enough, Caylie was impressed by Henrietta’s sincere attitude. Since Apricot Hall was in need of doctors at the time, Caylie decided to hire Henrietta and spent a whole year mentoring her.
She would always guide Henrietta patiently whenever she encountered problems she couldn’t solve. Eventually, Henrietta was competent enough to start treating patients on her own.
While they did not treat each other as a mentor and a mentee, Caylie had been playing the role of her mentor all this while.
As such, Caylie could’ve just asked Henrietta to cover for her shift unconditionally, but she decided to pay Henrietta twice as much for her time anyway.
Because of how well Caylie had treated Henrietta, she was shocked by the latter’s sudden decision to tender her resignation.
Caylie’s heart ached as she asked, “Henny, have I not been treating you well enough?”
“You’ve been really nice to me, Caylie…”
“Then why are you resigning?”
“It’s because I plan to take a post–graduate entrance exam. As you know, competition is incredibly tough among hospitals these days. It’s really hard to land a job without high qualifications. Besides, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life working in a clinic…”
Henrietta’s voice grew weaker as she got to the last sentence, and she even avoided making eye contact with Caylie, who was stunned.
