After being quiet for a while , Christina fumbled and said , " my . Ummm..my career , Anna I fail to understand what is happening ? What is all this ?
Anna wiped Christina's tears and made her sit on the co uch . Suddenly Anna's phone rang and it continued . When she opened the messages , pe ople had sent her the viral news about Steve Wilson .

" Anna was trying to get things into her mind when Christina got up and rushed to the washroom saying , " I got to go , it's my first day at the hospital . I can't be late . "
Anna stopped her midway and consoled her . " Chrissy , please stay home , don't go . And for God's sake tell me what happened between you and him ? "

" Having said this , Christina gathered herself up and went into her room to get ready and Anna went into the kitc hen to prepare breakfast
Christina came out , took her car keys , and left without uttering a word .
As she reached the hospital , she saw a crowd of repor ters . She entered the buil ding covering her face with a scarf and also wore big sunglasses to cover up .
Christina rushed to the loc ker room without letting anybody know . People were staring at her .

All the other officials also started blaming Christina
" Today's youth has no sense of responsibility " expressed another one .
The Director tried to calm everyone and spoke authoritatively , " see doc tors I understand your point but we should not judge anybody based on a picture that went viral on the in ternet . Until and unless we discover the truth behind it we should not be judgmental .
" Doctor Christina , we don't know how it happened and what led to this mishap but all we know is that our hospital's reputation is at stake due to this scandal .
" And let me remind you that it can be a reason for your termination also " , he added .
" Before any conclusion , we would like to hear your part of the truth . "
" Sir I swear , I don't know how this happened . But trust me I am not wrong . I could never do something which de fames my profession . " Christina's eyes were in te ars while she said this .
A doctor passed a glass of water to comfort her and asked her to explain the photograph .
" It was an accident , He just saved me from falling off . " She explained with a hope to be understood
A doctor interrupted her . " Some people tend to play the victim card and try to take advantage of a celebrity .
" The director argued , " Doctor ! Please behave ! You cannot blame her while she is explaining her part as we don't know what the truth is . "
" I am sorry director but I don't understand why you have been so biased towards her " , He argued .
The director scowled upon him and explained ,
" I am not biased towards anyone but I won't let anybody insult a hospital staff , not even you .
" Christina felt slightly bet ter that at least someone was trying to understand her situation .
Dr. Albert , requested , " Sir , we cannot terminate her since we don't have any proof against her . And after all , we need such talented doctors in our neuro team . "
" I do understand but we can not ignore the media . And miss Christina you may leave now , we will let you know about our decisions . " The director asserted .
