A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 

“It’s none of your business!” Mackenzie snapped before 

walking off. 

“Haha, see you next time, Ms. Quillen!” 

Despite Mackenzie’s arrogance, Joel had no choice but 

to maintain a cordial smile. 

After all, the Quillen family wasn’t one he could afford 

to offend. 

Meanwhile, Emmanuel had laid Alessandra down on 

the bed of a single ward. After that, he massaged her 

acupoints to alleviate the pain. 

Soon, a doctor who specialized in internal medicine 

arrived. 

His name was Darren Chase and was acquainted with 

Emmanuel. 

The sight of Emmanuel treating his mother elicited a 

furrowed brow from Darren. As a doctor of modern 

medicine, he wasn’t familiar with traditional medicine. 

In spite of his disdain for gynecologists like Emmanuel, 

he maintained a polite smile on his face. “Dr. Lowe, why 

did you bring the patient here when you know how to treat her yourself? It’s not like you’re unaware of how 

busy the hospital is.” 

Turning around, Emmanuel anxiously explained, “The condition of my mom’s kidney is really bad, not to 

mention that she only has one left that’s functioning. I 

decided to bring her here since she needs modern 

medicine to reduce the inflammation and 

round–the–clock care.” 

Even though Emmanuel was trained in traditional 

medicine, he wasn’t averse to modern medicine. 

Instead, he was someone who believed in the 

effectiveness of combining the two. 

When it came to inflamed kidneys, the injection 

techniques of modern medicine were more efficient 

and effective than relying on the herbs of traditional 

medicine. 

“In that case, come with me and complete the 

admission paperwork on your mother’s behalf.” 

“Sure.” 

Emmanuel instructed the nurse to hook Alessandra up 

to a drip before heading out with Darren. 

When he returned, he was surprised to see his mom 

3/3 

standing outside alone with the mobile drip stand. 

“Mom, what’s going on? Why are you standing 

outside?” 

Surprised and feeling bad for her, Emmanuel hurried to 

her side. 

Bearing the pain in her kidney, Alessandra gave him a 

helpless look. “A hospital staff came in to inform me 

that the ward has been reserved by someone else and 

kicked me out of it. On top of that, they’re unable to 

find a room for me!” 

Emmanuel’s brows knitted in response. Throughout the 

two years he worked in the hospital, such a situation 

was a rare occurrence. 

Thereafter, he went to see the nurse in charge of the 

wards. 

“Dr. Lowe, the wards are allocated by the attending 

physicians. Dr. Chase has assigned it to someone else,” 

the nurse explained. 

Emmanuel was outraged by the answer. 

He could clearly remember that the hospital didn’t 

have a policy for reserving wards. Moreover, his mother 

had clearly come first with Darren’s knowledge. 

Therefore, he wondered how the room was allocated 

to someone else right when he went to complete the 

paperwork. 

Consequently, when Emmanuel requested to see 

Darren, the latter found an excuse not to come. 

At that moment, two burly men in suits who looked like bodyguards emerged from the ward. 

“Haha, Mr. Chamberlain has reserved this ward, so stop 

causing trouble here and move along!” 

“That’s right. You can’t afford to bear the 

consequences of interrupting his rest.” 

In a fit of rage, Emmanuel barged into the ward. Upon 

reading the man’s medical file, he was further 

infuriated.
