But apart from being a doctor, she was also a wife and a mother.

With so much going on at home, especially with Joe, it would be too selfish of her if she only thought of herself and chose her career.

After a moment, she looked at Hyman and asked, "Are you married?"

Confused by her question, Hyman shook his head with a snort.

"Then you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you," Camila said with a polite smile. "But I'm still very grateful for all your help and support."

Taken aback, Hyman fell silent.

"You know you can't leave until your resignation is approved, and it'll take a while," he asked after a moment.

Camila knew that and didn't want to wait long, but she knew better than to voice her sentiment about the matter.

“What's your plan? Are you going to give this patient an artificial heart? You might as well proceed with this if you're going to resign,"

Hyman continued.

Camila remained silent, knowing why Hyman suggested that.

He wanted her to wait until the success of the artificial heart was recognized and announced before she stepped down.

That way, her departure would be respectable.

However, she was too tired to wait even for another week.

ALL the stress and exhaustion in the past weeks had taken a toll on her so hard that she only wanted to rest.

Her eyelids felt heavy, so she closed her eyes as she formulated a reply in her head.

"Otherwise, I won't let you leave," Hyman suddenly said, blocking the door.

Camila looked at him in disbelief.

"Seriously? That's childish," she chided him.

"I don't care," Hyman retorted.
