Chapter 869
“Adrian! My dear boy!” Nathan rushed into the room and shoved Avery aside. Avery did not feel any respect from this man at all.
It was as if he wanted to kick her out of the room.
She stared at the man’s profile and wanted to say something, but her reason stopped her from doing so
She felt bad for Adrian, but she had no connection to him at all. Once she was finished with his surgery and his family was happy with the results, her job here was done.
“I was wrong about you earlier, Doctor Tate!” After Nathan got a response from Adrian, he immediately turned around and said emotionally, “Adrian understood when I called out to him. This is a huge improvement! I’ll wire over the remaining payment to you in three days, Doctor Tate. As for the follow up… If Adrian doesn’t have any other incurable diseases, then we don’t bother you again.”
Avery was stunned. Nathan was saying that once they paid her off, whatever happens to Adrian in the future had nothing to do with her anymore. He also meant for her not to bother them again. However, Avery really wanted to know how Adrian would recover.
“I don’t need the rest of the payment, Mr. White. I just need you to allow me to pay him follow -up visits later on. This is our professional habit as doctors,” Avery said.
“Are you this responsible toward every one of your patients, Doctor Tate?” Nathan flashed a meaningful smile.
“If I receive your call in the future, then of course I will answer it. However, please don’t blame me if I get too busy to pick up your calls!” Avery found the smile of his face to be slightly sinister.
She always gave people the benefit of the doubt, but there was something about Nathan that made shivers run down her spine. He was basically telling her that he would never answer her calls no matter how much she tried.
