Daniel Marshall added: "If such an accident happened to a different patient, the hospital would be held accountable. The on-duty staff would naturally be investigated for negligence. The hospital's related surveillance has already been sealed."
Bella Thompson, who was suspicious about her son's accident to begin with, listened to Daniel Marshall's words. Her pupils shrank sharply, and her heart involuntarily tightened.
Suddenly, Matthew Marshall looked at Daniel and said faintly, "Stop investigating. It's not anyone else's fault. I am to blame."
Bella Thompson became anxious, looking at her son.
Matthew looked at his mother, indicating her to stay silent.
Matthew then explained, "I deliberately distracted the duty nurse because I wanted to smoke. I knew I couldn't go far, let alone leave the department, so I hid and smoked at the stairs fearing they might find me. As a result, on the way back, I was afraid of being discovered, stumbled, and fell down the stairs."
