Chapter 245
“Mikel, Dylan Smith is my grandfather. I have the final say in his treatment!”
Fueled by anger, Tara addressed him by name directly. Mikel had previously misdiagnosed her grandfather, and now she felt that it was absurd he was obstructing Cameron from treating her grandfather.
“Dr. Smith, remember that this is a hospital. The hospital will be held accountable if anything happens!” Mikel invoked the hospital’s authority and said gravely.
“I’ve already said I would take personal responsibility if anything goes wrong. It has nothing to do with the hospital!” Tara retorted as she fixed her gaze on Mikel.
“I still won’t allow it!” Mikel was adamant in his refusal.
“You…” Tara was visibly upset by his stubbornness.
At that moment, Cameron was unable to stand by any longer. He looked at Mikel coldly and said, “Mr. Kennedy, your persistent obstruction and blatant disregard for the patient’s condition sure makes me
wonder.
“Are you terrified of the patient coming to harm, or are you more concerned about your own reputation?”
“I…” Mikel found himself at a loss for words. However, he quickly found a retort. “How could I, the director and department head of a top–tier hospital, be less professional than a quack? And what if something does happen? Can you bear that responsibility?”
bear it,” Cameron answered without a hint of hesitation.
“Nonsense! What can you use to bear that responsibility!” Mikel barked in anger.
“Enough, Mikel!” Tara scolded him and turned to Cameron. “Don’t mind him, Cameron. Go ahead and treat my grandfather. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens here.”
“Without my permission, I’d like to see who dares!” Mikel shouted, He ordered the security guards, ” Get that kid out of here!”
“Yes, Mr. Kennedy!” The security guards moved to act on his command.
“I’d advise you to stay where you are and not become someone’s scapegoat,” Cameron warned the guards as his eyes flashed with a cold light.
The guards hesitated and looked at each other. They were unsure of what to do next. They also sensed some truth in Cameron’s words.
“What are you waiting for? He’s just talking nonsense!” Mikel growled.
“Aren’t you being quite loud?” Cameron frowned at Mikel. “This is the ICU. As the director, don’t you know you should keep things quiet?”

“That’s because you’re causing trouble here. Just get out…” Before Mikel could finish, Cameron slapped him hard.
He glared at him after that.
The sound of the slap brought immediate silence to the ward. Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Cameron to actually strike Mikel.
Tara’s eyes trembled. She knew Cameron had acted to ensure he could treat her grandfather. She felt a surge of gratitude.
“You… How dare you hit me?” Mikel was in shock as he held his reddened cheek. He was the
department head who called the shots in his department. He couldn’t believe he had been slapped by
someone younger.
Cameron didn’t even bother to respond to Mikel and prepared to treat Dylan.
