“Is that… isn’t that Ethan?” Clara asked, her voice dropping into a terrified, hesitant register. “He registered as the primary father for Ms. Vance’s admission this morning. He used your private hospital insurance extension code to clear her VIP suite.”
A cold, razor-sharp smile touched my lips. “He did what?”

“He told the intake desk that Ms. Vance was a distant relative under your personal care sponsorship, Dr. Rhodes,” Clara explained, her face draining of all color as she realized the depth of the deception. “He signed the insurance waiver using your digital staff credential stamp.”

“Clara, bring me the insurance modification terminal,” I ordered, my voice dropping into the same steady, commanding register I used when an arterial line blew in the operating room. “Now.”

I stepped over to the ward nurse’s station, logged directly into the St. Vincent administration portal, and pulled up Valerie Vance’s billing file. With three definitive clicks, I flag-tagged the entire admission as a fraudulent insurance claim, completely removing my staff sponsorship and deactivating the corporate coverage.
