Chapter 9

Wilson was momentarily stunned. He then questioned in an anxious voice, "What? You quit? When?" I answered coldly, "The day before you and Jessica came back. I submitted it for approval, and you approved it yourself." "That's not possible! I never received your resignation letter, and I certainly did not approve your resignation! You're definitely lying to me!" The voice messages stopped there. Needless to say, he must have gone to check the approval records. Not long after, he sent me another voice message, his panic clear as day. "Claire, I don't know how I accidentally approved it. This doesn't count. I never wanted you to quit. "Please come back and help me, Claire! The hospital really can't function without you!" I was pretty sure that he had once said Jessica was enough, that the hospital didn't need me, and it would run just fine without me, though. "Wilson, I've already resigned, and we're divorced. We're strangers now. You'd be better off talking to Jessica than to me."
