Upon seeing the situation, Director Zhao's eyebrows furrowed deeply, a hint of worry evident in his gaze as he quickly glanced at the tall and imposing man beside him. The man had a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were sharp and piercing. Wiping off some sweat, Director Zhao began, "Si..."
Xavier Si took two steps forward, standing in front of Olivia Xia. "How much more do you need for the medical expenses?"
Unexpectedly, Xavier Si would show up at such an awkward moment. Olivia Xia coughed lightly to ease the tension and said, "No worries, I've paid it all."
Xavier Si raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Just as the young nurse was about to speak, Mrs. Liu shouted, “What do you mean you’ve paid it all? You poor thing, not only could you not afford the 1 million plus bill at once, even paying off the quarterly amount of three to four hundred thousand would be impossible for you.”
"If Tyrone Xia doesn't give you money, a person like you won't even make a million if you go out and sell yourself," Chole Liu smirked.
As soon as Chole Liu's words fell, she felt a sharp gaze on her, sending a shiver down her spine, making her feel like she was in an ice cellar.
At this moment, the young nurse, who had been constantly interrupted, finally had a chance to speak, "Director Zhao, Mrs. Liu, and Miss Liu, you all have misunderstood. Miss Xia just had me use her card to pay off the previous quarter's hospitalization and medication fees and prepay for the next year..."
Director Zhao was stunned, and Mrs. Liu widened her eyes in astonishment, "What, what did you say?"
"This is impossible! Where did she get the money?"
Chole Liu regained her composure and met Xavier Si's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked upon his extraordinarily handsome face. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red almost immediately, and she began subconsciously adjusting her clothes and tidying up her hair.
"This seems to have nothing to do with you," Xavier Si said, his hands in his pockets, standing lazily next to Olivia Xia. He sneered, "Director Zhao, does the hospital allow patients to continue staying if they owe fees?"
"Exactly, she's been in arrears for so long. Why hasn't she been kicked out yet? Isn't this a waste of resources? Do you know how many patients can't get a room in the hospital and can't receive treatment because of such instances?" Mrs. Liu angrily shouted.
Director Zhao looked at Xavier Si's expression and straightened up, saying, "Usually, such situations do not occur. However, Mrs. Yue has been here for six years and has consistently paid her fees on time in the past. With Deputy Director Qi acting as a guarantor, our hospital has adopted a more humane approach to her situation."
Xavier Si nodded slightly, "In that case, if a patient needs to be asked to leave the ward, it should be the responsibility of the hospital. Since when can one patient arbitrarily ask another patient to leave? Moreover, Mrs. Yue's outstanding payment for the ward is her personal privacy. Can the hospital disclose a patient's privacy to outsiders at will?"
Director Zhao wiped away his cold sweat, "This is our oversight in management. Please rest assured that we will thoroughly investigate this matter and not let the patient and her family down."
"Good," Xavier Si nodded and glanced at Mrs. Liu, then turned to Olivia Xia, "Shall we go in to see your mother?"
Was he going to meet her parents so quickly?
When Olivia Xia was hesitating, Chole Liu suddenly adopted a gentler tone, "This gentleman is absolutely right. Who could it be that deliberately leaked information to us? It's obvious they knew I wanted to change rooms and intentionally provoked us to come here and cause trouble."
After saying that, she looked at her mother with a pitiful expression and said, "Mom, I just wanted to change to a more comfortable room. I've been following the hospital's procedures all along. It's definitely someone deliberately trying to harm us, making us come up here to stir up trouble."
Mrs. Liu couldn't understand why her daughter suddenly changed, but she followed along, "That's right, Director Zhao, we hope you can explain this matter."
So, initially, they were the troublemakers, but with Chole Liu's words, they had turned into victims, as if they had been manipulated.
