Chapter 552
It didn’t take long for those words to strike fear into the hearts of the quack
doctors and alternative medicine experts, and they realized that they would
have to stay alive if they ever wanted to receive that reward. In the past,
when they used these methods to defraud people of their money, the worst
that happened was a few harsh words and maybe a beating, but now they
would never do anything that would put their lives at risk!
“Useless! You’re all useless! Why did you come here if you can’t treat my
daughter, huh?!” Seething with rage, Adolph took his anger out on all the
medical experts in attendance. He was a high–ranking officer in the military
with soldiers under his command, so even though many medical experts had
their own sense of pride, no one dared to contradict him.
Meanwhile, Juan’s daughter Rhea Gomez, a recent medical school graduate,
was also present. It was because the Gomez and Lenoir families were
acquainted. She had followed her father to come over in the hopes of saving
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe patient, and they weren’t here for the money but rather due to the
friendship between the two families, her desire to gain experience, and the
medical ethics principle! Unfortunately, she never anticipated that Adolph
would publicly shame them despite their genuine concern and sincerity,
making her feel awful.
On the other hand, Laura wanted to calm down her husband because she
knew that with Claudette’s condition, the doctors couldn’t be blamed for their
inability to save her.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and they overheard someone
arguing with the Lenoir family’s guards.
Within a fraction of a second, a loud, assured voice proclaimed, “I can save
Claudette! Let me try!”
Everyone looked over at once upon hearing those words.
Then, a bold young man pushed past the armed guards and stormed inside;
it was Emmanuel.
At this instant, the guards wanted to haul him out, but Adolph commanded,
“Let him in!”
The guards stepped aside upon hearing this.
Afterward, Emmanuel strode into the hall and said to Adolph, “I came to save
Claudette! I can revive her right now!”
Everyone gasped in response. I can’t believe how confident this punk is! We’re
all at our wits‘ end, yet he thinks he can handle it alone?
“Haha!” Adolph guffawed with laughter after hearing those confident words,
and when he finally stopped, he said threateningly, “I just told everyone herè
that I will give anyone who saves Claudette 7.5 million, but if they fail, I’ll kill
them!” He purposefully emphasized the last few words, and he wasn’t joking.
In the meantime, others in attendance began to eye Emmanuel tauntingly.
Look at this cocky little punk. What gave him the nerve to storm in here like
that and say he could treat Ms. Lenoir? He must be dying to take his words
back now, huh?
At this instant, Rhea was also staring at him in shock, and she was wondering
how he could be so confident. Is it because he is unaware of Ms. Lenoir’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcondition? Confidence comes easily when one is unaware of the difficulty of
the situation.
“Rhea, that’s Emmanuel Lowe, the man I told you about,” Juan whispered to
his daughter.
“Oh! So, that’s him!” When she heard this, her expression changed from
disbelief to anticipation. I recall my dad telling me that a young doctor
working at the hospital who is even more skilled than he is, so that’s the guy,
huh? Will he be able to pull it off?
“Are you sure you want to treat my daughter, Emmanuel?” Adolph purposely
asked again in front of everyone.
Since Claudette was his favorite daughter, he naturally didn’t want her to die,
but if she had to, he would ensure that the Lenoir family benefited greatly
from her passing. If this is the case, they would have an inarguable
justification for attacking the Quillen family, which would guarantee them a
windfall of financial gain.
