Chapter 58 Calling His Peers
Just as Patrick was about to depart, his phone vibrated. It was an unknown caller, so he thought it was from a patient and rejected the call without thinking.
After a while, he received a text message: I’m Emrys Lund.Mr. Lund? Agitatedly, he called the number without delay. “I didn’t expect you to call me, Mr. Lund. I’m delighted. Erm… I’m very sorry about what happened yesterday…”
Emrys went straight to the point. “Stop talking. Do you want to learn Needle of Ninth Revival?”.
That offer astonished Patrick for a moment before he vehemently nodded. “Of course! Not only that, but my teacher also wants to learn it. He has been talking about studying under you for the past two days!”
“Your teacher?”
“Yeah, Duncan Rodriguez, the famous doctor.”
A brief silence ensued before Emrys spoke again with a weird voice. “This means you’re familiar with Lincoln, correct?”
“I do. We both studied under Mr. Rodriguez. However, my relationship with him is terrible. Are you perhaps his friend, Mr. Lund?” inquired Patrick carefully.
“He’s my enemy.”
“Great!” Patrick blurted before speedily realizing he had misspoken and explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lund. I didn’t mean to offend you. What I was trying to say was that b*stard Lincoln doesn’t deserve to be your friend.”
“Stop buttering me up. In two days, Lincoln will be opening a clinic opposite Apricot Hall. I want you to invite a few people to help me ruin the opening.”
“Sure. Send me the address. I promise you that you’ll be satisfied with the results.”
After the call ended, Patrick felt at ease, as though a ray of sunlight had shot through the dark clouds and shone on him.
Then he cackled wildly. “Hahaha… Oh, Lincoln! You shouldn’t have opposed me when we were still students. Now, you’ve even stepped on Mr. Lund’s toe this time! You deserve whatever comes next!”
Of course, he would never tell Lincoln the truth. I hope Mr. Lund will crush you beneath his feet!
Confused, Randal stared at his father. “What’s the matter with you, Dad?” Why is he beaming after answering a call? He looked depressed just a few minutes ago and was hurrying to reach Jadeborough Hospital.
