Footage
Doctor Rudy thought for a while. He felt a bit stuck and had no ideas.
“Ah! That’s enough!” In his heart, Doctor Rudy said it resignedly.
“Maybe I should try another time. Perhaps now is not his time to fall. Maybe later will be his time to fall, but I’m sure that there will come that time.”
He tried to exhale and calm his mind. Not long after, an idea popped into his head. He would ask Gonzales (the CCTV guard) to take the CCTV footage.
“Ah! I just asked for the record to Gonzales. Later, I’ll just give some money to Gonzales. Gonzales will undoubtedly do it for me,” muttered Doctor Rudy to himself.
“Why did I only think of it now?” thought Doctor Rudy.
“It’s okay! The important thing is that I already know the solution.” Doctor Rudy thought again.
He immediately took out his phone and texted Gonzales. “Hi, Gonzales! Are you on duty in the CCTV room or not?”
“Hi, Doctor Rudy! Yes, I’m on duty there.” Gonzales replied.
“What’s up, boss?” Gonzales replied again.
“What time do you work today? I want to go there today. I want to ask for the CCTV footage,” replied Doctor Rudy.
“Just take it easy! I’ll give you money later.”
“I work until 2 p. m. today.”
“Okay. I’ll go there.”

After Doctor Rudy worked, he went straight to the CCTV room while he sent a message to Gonzales. “Gonzales, I’m going to the CCTV room now.”
“Okay.”
After he arrived in front of the CCTV room, he immediately knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard the voice of someone in the room shouting for him to come in. “Come in!”
Doctor Rudy immediately opened the door, and he saw a man with brown skin and a large body who was busy observing all the CCTV cameras in the room. Doctor Rudy immediately confirmed that the man was Gonzales. “Gonzales?”
Doctor Rudy’s words immediately made Gonzales turn around and look at Doctor Rudy. “Yes, Doctor Rudy.”
At that moment, Doctor Rudy said. “I want to ask for the CCTV footage from this morning!”
“What’s the exact time?” asked Gonzales in confusion.
“Maybe around 5:00 a. m. until 7:00 a. m.,” replied Doctor Rudy.
“Where?” asked Gonzales.
“In the hallways. Maybe, around the polyclinic and operation room.” Doctor Rudy ordered.
“Okay. Wait and sit down, please.” Gonzales invited Doctor Rudy to sit down and asked him to wait.
Doctor Rudy immediately picked up a chair in the room and took it. Then he brought it over to Gonzales and sat there.
“What do you want to see, Boss? It’s really unusual for you to see and ask for CCTV footage,” said Gonzales.
“I want to see Doctor Vega this morning. I miss her so much.” He lied. In fact, he was looking for evidence of the moment Brian mentioned.
“Ah, Boss! I know you love her so much. So, you do that, right?” Gonzales guessed.
“There’s only Doctor Vega’s name in your brain.” Gonzales teased.
“Hurry up and find it! Don’t tease me!” ordered Doctor Rudy firmly, because he was embarrassed to be teased by Gonzales and he was serious. His eyes couldn’t take their gaze away from the footage on the screen.
“Be patient, boss!” said Gonzales casually.
Indeed, Gonzales is the only one who can still be relaxed when Doctor Rudy is being stern, firm, and fierce. Doctor Rudy waited for a while while observing the CCTV footage until they saw the footage he wanted.
At that moment, Gonzales immediately said. “Wow, Boss! How come your beloved one does that with another guy?”
“I don’t know,” said Doctor Rudy in confusion.
“They did something out of line, Boss! We have to report it!” said Gonzales.
“Yes. Indeed, I want to report it. That’s why I want to ask for the evidence of the footage, Gonzales,” said Doctor Rudy, which made Gonzales realize Doctor Rudy’s original intention.
“So, you’re going to ask for this footage as evidence?” asked Gonzales, confirming Doctor Rudy’s intentions.
“Yes. An intern reported this to me. When I heard about it, I knew it couldn’t be ignored and that it must be reported, Gonzales!” Doctor Rudy explained
“Yes, Boss. It must be reported,” Gonzales said.
Not long after, Gonzales got the recording and gave it to Doctor Rudy. “Here’s the footage, Doctor Rudy!”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thank you, Gonzales!” Doctor Rudy thanked him as he slipped Gonzales his wages.
Then, he walked away from the CCTV room and looked for Doctor Bernardo. He wanted to see Doctor Bernardo as soon as possible so that he could tell him about the footage.
He always inquired of everyone he met. “Sorry, sir/madam! Have you seen and met Doctor Bernardo?”
Some people whom he asked didn’t know it, and others knew it. Their information led him to the front of Doctor Bernardo’s room.
After he arrived in front of Doctor Bernardo’s room, he immediately knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard someone inside the room say something. “Please, wait!”
“What’s wrong?” said Doctor Bernardo in his heart while he stood up.
Meanwhile, Doctor Rudy waited for a while until the door of the room was opened by Doctor Bernardo. Doctor Bernardo, who found Doctor Rudy in front of his room, immediately felt shocked until his eyes bulged.
He immediately thought. “What’s wrong? He rarely comes to my room.”
Suddenly, he asked to ensure. “Doctor Rudy?”
“Yes. I’m Doctor Rudy, Doctor Bernardo.”
“Please come in, Doctor Rudy!” Doctor Rudy was greeted by Doctor Bernardo.
They walked right into Doctor Bernardo’s office. Doctor Bernardo walked over to the chair where he usually works. Then he sat on that chair.
Meanwhile, Doctor Rudy sat opposite him. Doctor Bernardo then inquired. “What’s wrong, Doctor Rudy? I think there’s a problem that forces you to meet me this morning. Usually, after work, you go home or you go to another hospital.”
“I want to inform you of important information, Doctor Bernardo.” Doctor Rudy started the conversation. He gave Doctor Bernardo a serious stare.
“What’s the information, Doctor Rudy?” asked Doctor Bernardo curiously.
“About the interns.” Doctor Rudy started the conversation.
“Are you not satisfied with the performance of the intern who is your assistant or other interns?” asked Doctor Bernardo again to confirm.
“No! That’s not about it. It’s about Brian’s problem.” Doctor Rudy opened the topic of conversation.
“Brian’s problem? Why is Brian interfering with your work?” Doctor Bernardo confirmed it once more.
“He is not your assistant, right?” Doctor Bernardo made certain.
“So, why does he do that? I’ll scold him and punish him if he does that!” Doctor Bernardo got mad.
“No. That’s wrong.”
“He is my assistant, and I get two assistants. You said that every doctor should have only one assistant.”
“So, I’m confused. Why do I have two assistants?”
“What?! Brian is your assistant?!” Doctor Bernardo’s eyes bulged because he was so shocked.
“Isn’t Aston your only assistant?” asked Doctor Bernardo again.
“Brian and Aston are my assistants.” Doctor Rudy explained and recounted the chronology of the morning, when Brian arrived late and introduced himself as Doctor Rudy’s assistant.
“In fact, Brian is supposed to be Doctor Vega’s assistant.” Doctor Bernardo explained and recounted everything that Brian had told him.
“I’ll get mad at Doctor Chico later.” Doctor Bernardo decided.
“But he is my assistant. I don’t know why. I’m informing you because I think it’s unfair.” Doctor Rudy complained.
“It’s not because I don’t like Brian’s performance. I love his performance.”
“All doctors should have an assistant doctor who is a medical student, right?” Doctor Rudy confirmed.
“Yes.” Doctor Bernardo nodded his head.
“Therefore, I feel it’s unfair,” Doctor Rudy complained.
“I agree with you, Doctor Rudy.” Doctor Bernardo concurred.
“Just take it easy! Let me punish and scold Doctor Vega and Doctor Chico!” Doctor Bernardo tried to calm Doctor Rudy down.
“Besides that, I got a report that Doctor Vega and Alberto were behaving indecently, Doctor Bernardo.”
“Behaving indecently? What do you mean?”
“I don’t understand. I don’t get what you mean.”
Doctor Bernardo frowned as he felt confused.
“Yes. Behaving indecently. Here’s the evidence!” Doctor Rudy gave the evidence, and they watched the CCTV footage together.
After seeing the video, Doctor Bernardo immediately commented. “Oh, my god! I really didn’t expect that Doctor Vega could act like that with Alberto.”
“That’s so unethical. So embarrassing!” He said with emotion.
“Yes. So unethical.” Doctor Rudy agreed with Doctor Bernardo.
“What will they think of our hospital now that they know? Of course this hospital will be branded badly by them.” He was so shocked.
“Oh, my god! I feel so weak hearing this.” Doctor Bernardo immediately laid down on the chair weakly, because he felt very weak, as if he had no energy.
“I think it’s the reason why Doctor Vega is being unfair-Brian becomes my assistant, and she chooses Alberto as her assistant. Because if that’s not the reason, I think it will be impossible, especially since Alberto is only an intern in the pharmacy department. Not in the medical department,” said Doctor Rudy.
“Don’t worry, Doctor Rudy! I will call and reprimand them. You don’t need to worry,” said Doctor Bernardo.
“You know, our hospital upholds justice, right?” Doctor Bernardo agreed.
“Yes. I know it well, Doc,” Doctor Rudy replied.
“Thank you for the information, Doctor Rudy!” Doctor Bernardo thanked him.
“You’re welcome, Doc.”
“I’m sorry! I must go home now.” Doctor Rudy asked permission to go home.
“Okay, Doctor Rudy!” Doctor Bernardo allowed Doctor Rudy to go home.
Doctor Rudy immediately left Doctor Bernardo’s room. He was about to go home.
Once outside Doctor Bernardo’s room, he said it in his heart. “You’ll see, Alberto and Doctor Vega! You’ll get punished for daring to piss me off and make a mess with me!”
“So, don’t piss me off and don’t make a mess with me!”
“Whatever the punishment is, you’ll regret it,” Doctor Rudy said confidently in his heart.
“By the way, I’m still curious. What punishment will Doctor Vega and Alberto receive from Doctor Bernardo?”
