"Has everything changed?" (Part 1)

The third year of residency began for our doctors of Edenbrook Hospital. Sorry BloomBrook Hospital. Oops again it's Bloom Edenbrook ladies and gentlemen. Mistakes happen please.
More like a broom which has cleaned all of what the old hospital looked like.
And it had cleaned people's character too.
And she knew this was going to happen one day. Before she would sleep her mind would go in the most irrelevant thoughts and think about what rich people can do to the other category.
The middle classes and the poor ones.
Of course she was part of the rich people but never spent her money for her pleasure nor she did accept her parents money to live. Because she wanted to be independent and to show that she could do everything on her own until the day of being a doctor came.
Her friends were the most excited ones to see the big changes of their new (as she would call) "tourists attraction" hospital and the facilities that were put in every corner like it was a casino's place or a museum with advanced technology equipments. She didn't share the same thoughts with them. When Jackie, Bryce and Rafael invited her to the massage place she refused it and said the same thing to Elijah for playing ping pong. While Sienna was enjoying the new coffee machine Aurora saw her leaving the rest room with a concerned look.

"Hey." She took her arm gently. "You okay? You seem to be lost on yourself."
"Do I really give that impression?"
"Well if we don't see you carefully then it is obvious. Look... I know that your tensing and I can imagine what's like but I think we should try to fit into this kind of-"
"Change? No thanks. I don't think I will... I just need to go Aurora and please tell the others that I'm in an operation room."
"Sure...as you wish Klaw. But if you need to talk again I'm here. We are here."
She only nodded with a smile.

Klaw wasn't mad about this. Of course she wanted the best for the hospital and in many others too. To provide everything in need for the patients. But the thing she worried about was the fact that Leland would be always sneaking into the diagnostics office and reminding her team to work about his wife's case. She didn't know how someone like him can be such a deliberate and a money maniac to take over a hospital which he didn't have any idea how to actually handle it.
Klaw had a fear that his stubbornness and insistence will give serious affects to all of the medical staff and all of this façade would break down (that she really hoped) one day and someone else would direct it.
She was thinking of someone who knows all the struggles, all the concerns and all the medical training staff.
The one and only.
Dr. Naveen Banerji.
He was the best option for her to be not only the chief but the boss of this building. One of the most hardworking doctors in his forty years of experience in the field of medicine- who else could surpass him?
But he was nowhere to be seen and Klaw started to worry if Bloom had done something to him. She could feel a pang on her chest that something wasn't right.
All of this glorious and masquerade day would be soon vanished and then the real face of Leland Bloom would appear and no one- not even the bravest doctors could face him if he or she didn't want to lose their jobs.
She had to find the answers.
Ethan.
She opened the door of Diagnostics Office where she finds unexpectedly Harper Emery seated comfortably on her chair, Ethan the same too and also a never-seen-such pensive Baz staring blankly at a point. She could understand his condition right now and she wanted nothing more than to give him a friends comfort hug.
It was really strange to see Harper in the diagnostics team but in the same time she was glad for her presence as with her intelligence could help the team solving the cases. In fact she was hoping if Jackie or Aurora would join the team because they both have worked hard for the place she was holding now. But maybe because June was an attending it had to be replaced by another attending considering that Harper wasn't anymore the Chief of Medicine. She congratulated her, gave a hug and then began with their first case.
Ethan could feel that even behind of that smile and reasonable face of his resident was something doubtful that he knew very well. Maybe it was about Harper's appearance. He knew that she wasn't jealous and never would be. Klaw had such an ego that sometimes had scared him and many times he thought that if her character was really like this. He should've told her before Harper would join the team and felt somehow guilty about it considering now that their past was gone for good.
In the meantime a voice interrupted them which definitely made them annoyed. Especially her.
"Well here's our best diagnostics team working along fighting to beat the impossible things!" He saw their hardened gazes as he leaned on the door. "Am I interrupting something doctors?"
Klaw's chest was rising and falling from his scrutinised face that asked such a dumb question and couldn't even hold herself. "Yes you are interrupting us. Are you happy now?"
"Ouch Dr. Craig." He acted as if he was hurt. "That was really mean. I expected better from you and your leaving during my speech gave me a slight concern." His voice was playful and didn't seem to care that much what the young resident just admitted.
Yes- she left. When he grabbed the microphone standing in the center of everyone up in the railway and giving his speech of the new Edenbrook she couldn't stand it and walked away while digging fingers on her palms whereas her friends were still standing there listening.
Her debate with Bloom when he gave the cheque- that day was still imprinted on her mind and couldn't forget it. She ripped it without thinking twice. Not even taking her friend's or Ethan's opinion because she knew the game of the rich: 'Once you give your palm, they take your arm.' And she knew he remembered too- the scene in front of her still fresh on her mind.
