He felt like he was losing his mind as he roared, “Jeremy! You ba****d! Do you still consider yourself human?”
“Get lost! Stop going around framing others while acting innocent!” Jeremy spat back. “You sure have some guts, Daniel. Before this, you conspired to kill our father and asked for my help by tempting me with the promise of splitting the inheritance money, but I refused. I never thought that you’d be this wicked and ambitious, going so far as murdering our father in secret... Dad, don’t worry, I’ll avenge you today by finishing off this beast myself!”
Lily took it upon herself to play the part, falling towards the side of the bed and sobbing her heart out as she wailed, “Grandpa, you died such a cruel death.” She continued sobbing and turned to Daniel with red-rimmed eyes, “Uncle Daniel, you’re inhumane! Is money all you care about? This is your own father! How could you do this?”
The commotion had attracted many doctors, patients and their families. Hence, a crowd had formed outside the wardroom.
Once they got to know the particulars, the ward was thrown into a frenzy.
“Oh my goodness, what a horrible scandal. The son killed his own father to get his inheritance!”
“This kind of person deserves life imprisonment, perhaps even a death sentence!”
“Call the police! Someone call the police! Damn, this kind of person doesn’t deserve to be called human!”
“You reporters must broadcast this news. This kind of person deserves to be condemned by the whole country’s citizens!”
Daniel’s face was flushed red as he hurriedly defended himself, “I’m innocent! I had nothing to do with this!” Sweat started to form on his forehead. “Call the doctor! Please, call the doctor! He could still be saved!”
He was about to rush out again.
However, Jeremy kicked him to the ground.
“Stop acting. You’re trying to escape punishment, aren’t you? You want to flee from justice!”
Daniel clutched his stomach and curled into a ball. The intense pain spreading from his stomach made it hard for him to draw air into his lungs, and he was paralyzed by the agony.
Mr. Terence was watching this scene from a corner of the hospital. He wore a constant sneer on his face. “Zeke Williams, let’s see who comes out the winner this time!”
Mr. Terence had used his personal connections to call the media reporters here.
He took out his cellphone and dialed Harvey’s number. “Mr. Hoffman, I’ve completed my task. It’s up to you now, Sir.”
“Noted.” Harvey replied.
At that moment, Harvey was sitting in a car parked at Heartland Hospital’s parking lot.
Beside him was a potbellied middle-aged man.
The man was the reinforcement that Harvey had brought, the director of Oakheart City’s department of health, Gideon Allen.
After Harvey put down his phone, he took out a cigarette and passed it to Gideon. “Allen, the discontinuation of this hospital lies in your hands now.”
Gideon took the cigarette and lit it up, taking a deep and long puff. “Hoffman, how many years have we been friends? Shouldn’t you know what I’m capable of by now? Shutting down a small hospital is a piece of cake for me.”
Harvey laughed aloud. “Haha. Very well. I wish you the best of luck!”
Gideon alighted the car and stubbed out his cigarette before walking towards the hospital lobby with confident strides.
Harvey’s mouth stretched into a hideous smile.
Once it was established that Daniel Hinton had ‘killed for family inheritance’, and that it was his own father who was the victim, Linton Group would lose their medical qualifications and be banned from all medical-related matters.
When that happened, no matter how much money they had, they wouldn’t be able to merge with Reagan Pharmaceutical.
After all, venturing into the medical industry wasn’t the same as venturing into other industries. It didn’t just require money, but medical qualifications as well.
Gideon walked into the lobby and instantly saw the crowd of people. “This is a hospital! How can all of you gather here like that? It’ll affect the normal operations of the hospital, and I’m sure none of you would want to bear the consequences!” He shouted angrily. “Everyone, disperse this instant!”
“Someone in this hospital deliberately caused a death...” Someone shouted in response.
“What?” Gideon feigned shock and stared at the person with wide eyes. “Deliberately caused a death? This is practically violating the law. It’s unforgivable!”
“Make way. I’m the director of the Department of Health. Let me take a look at the situation.”
The crowd immediately opened a path for him to go through, and chatter began to fill the area.
“Thank goodness someone from the Department of Health is here. I have no doubt that he’s more than capable of upholding justice.”
“Hmph! This hospital is so shady. It should be shut down immediately!”
“Even if they don’t shut it down, I won’t dare to see a doctor here anymore. Who knows whether or not I’ll be put to death on purpose!”
