It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 446

"Well, how do you know, Edward? You are staying in the VVIP ward of my hospital. Consider it as the presidential suite of some hotel if that's easier for you to accept. Look how well I've treated you! See? You're the very first patient to stay in this ward! Are you flattered? Yes, you must be!" Tom wore an ear-to-ear grin as he replied to Edward. He didn't mind Edward's threat of tearing down his hospital at all. After all, Edward had enough money to build him another hospital somewhere else.

"Damn you Jerry! You did it on purpose! Am I supposed to be grateful to you and take three bows to you to express my sincere gratitude? Is that what you want?" Edward said between gritted teeth. He resorted to the pejorative nickname he had for Tom, "Jerry," after the titular cartoon mouse. Although he was pale and weary because he was injured, he still looked imposing; the overwhelming aura was born in nature.

"Absolutely not. Edward, come on. I simply thought you would be more comfortable in this ward. How could I let you stay in an ordinary and shabby patient ward? Someone like you deserves a well-equipped VVIP ward like this! As for the bows, well three bows are too much. I think I'll take two, and you can save the last one for someone else. What do you think about that?" Tom pretended to answer casually, yet he was laughing out loud inside, 'Do you think I'm stupid? Do you really think you don't have to pay for the invaluable medicine you took from me before? And don't forget you punched me twice right in my face! My handsome face! I had to walk around with black eyes in front of my subordinates and my patients! Do you think you can get away with all that? No freaking way!' Tom decided he would make Edward pay for what he had done, starting with paying for this exclusive yet extortionately expensive VVIP ward. Tom had nothing to worry about since Edward was badly injured and couldn't move even a muscle to do anything to him now. That was why he transferred him directly to this VVIP ward, partly because Edward did need better care, and partly because he could charge him more as compensation.

"What do I think? I think you're mocking me! You think you have me over a barrel! You must be gloating inside! Do I look stupid to you? Huh?" Edward was furious that he raised his voice. But he frowned all of a sudden because of the sharp pain coming from his chest area. It seemed he was really badly injured, and he couldn't be emotional or even raise his volume at this point. Edward took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"No, no, no. You're overreacting. That's all. Now that you have the energy to quarrel with me, I think there's nothing wrong with you for the time being. So why not go back to whatever you were doing just now? Just ignore me. I'll leave you two alone. Oh, FYI, as a responsible doctor, I must point out that in your current state, you shouldn't do anything too vigorous; so you'd better keep it slow and gentle. You got it? Great! Then I'll see myself out."

As soon as Tom finished speaking with a smirk, he dashed towards the door and left immediately before Edward could say anything to fight back. Even though Edward was injured and lying in bed, he could still send chills down Tom's spine with his fierce, cold glances, not to mention the sharp and vicious words Edward could hurl at him. Tom only teased Edward because he knew Edward couldn't get up from the bed and punch him this time. Now that he got what he wanted, he'd better stop before he went too far, in case he would end up with no money but a few more bruises on his face. He never doubted what Edward was capable of.
