The security guard noticed the commotion and rushed over with a steel baton in hand. “Everybody, shut up! If you’re here for the doctor, please stay in line! Otherwise, I’ll chase the one who tries to poke their nose into the patient’s business out of the hospital!”
The onlookers had to keep their mouths shut as they were intimidated by the security guard.
The security guard kicked the senile old lady’s baggage out of the hospital as soon as he dealt with the onlookers.
Consequently, the anxious old lady hurriedly went after her baggage.
Seeing her slow pace, the nurses decided to give her a ‘helping hand’ and kicked her in the butt to hasten her along.
As a result, the senile old lady staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Thankfully, Zeke managed to rush over and supported the senile old lady in the nick of time.
The senile old lady replied with a bitter smile on her face, “Thank you so much, young man.”
Zeke took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger. “It’s fine.”
However, he was infuriated deep down. He was so enraged that for a moment, he had forgotten the reason why he came to the hospital in the first place.
He turned and looked at the nurse in the eyes. “Those in the medical industry are supposed to prioritize the wellbeing of their patients above everything else. However, it seems like that’s not the case for you. In fact, you belittle and bully your patient. You do not deserve to stay in the medical industry anymore.”
The security guard chuckled when he heard Zeke’s words. “It seems like we have another unwelcome guest right here. I’m going to repeat myself because it seems like you didn’t hear my words. Shut up and stay in line if you’re here for the doctor! Otherwise, I’ll chase you out of the hospital!”
The nurse played along and mocked Zeke, “Hmph! I have come across countless hypocrites like you before. If you’re trying to help her, why don’t you settle her bill on her behalf? Your opinion is rather insignificant if you can’t back your words with actions.”
In return, Zeke defended himself. “You know what? I’ll definitely back my words with actions.”
As the old lady was worried she would get Zeke involved, she tried to stop him immediately, “Young man, thank you so much for standing up for me. However, I’m perfectly fine. Please leave me alone and queue up for whatever you’re here for.”
Obviously, the old lady thought Zeke was there to visit the doctor as well.
However, Zeke brought the old lady over to the bench and assured her, “Madam, please stay here for the time being. Truth be told, I’m not here for the doctor because I’m a doctor myself. I can’t possibly allow these black sheep of sorts to stay in the medical industry anymore. I have to take this matter into my hands.”
The security guard burst out laughing upon hearing that. “Pffft! You’re a doctor as well? Does that mean you’re here for an interview? I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself worthy. Chase this senile old fool out of the hospital, and I’ll get the director to hire you. Otherwise, take this senile old fool with you and scram.”
When Zeke heard the security guard’s words, he cast a stern gaze at him and demanded, “Get the director of this hospital over immediately.”
The security guard got infuriated all of a sudden and roared, “You punk! Who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think you have the rights to meet our director? How dare you use that kind of tone to ask for him? I’m warning you. You do not have the qualification needed to see the director. Now scram!”
At the same time, the nurse replied with an enraged look, “Hmph! What an arrogant fool! How dare you try to pick on our director? He’s one of the board members of the TCM Practitioners Association. If you cross the line and offend him, he has the right to terminate you of your rights as a TCM practitioner.”
However, Zeke merely repeated his words with a poker face. “I’ll repeat myself for one last time. Get the director over immediately. Otherwise, I’ll shut this hospital down by tomorrow.”
The security guard finally lost his cool. “What the... It seems like you don’t know when to stop, huh? Fine! If that’s the case, I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
He raised his steel baton and rushed towards Zeke as soon as he finished his sentence.
The onlookers gasped and thought to themselves.
This young man is overly impulsive! Sigh... Although he’s a righteous man, he should know his place and where his limits lie. I’m afraid he won’t make it out unscathed because it seems like the guard won’t be holding back at all.
In the meantime, the anxious old woman got up and rushed over as she wanted to take the hit on Zeke’s behalf.
However, Zeke got ahead of her and stopped her in the nick of time. In the end, he managed to keep the old woman under control while he tried to defend himself.
Before the security guard could reach Zeke with the steel baton, Zeke managed to land a kick on him in the abdomen area.
The security guard shrieked as his body flew backwards. In the end, his body hit a vase before falling to the ground.
The vase shattered upon impact and the shards penetrated into the security guard’s back. As a result, he looked like a porcupine.
The security guard, who was now slumped on the ground, spat blood and shrieked repetitively. He seemed extremely pathetic.
The onlookers gasped in silence and looked at Zeke in disbelief.
What a reckless young man! How dare he make a move against others in their domain? I’m sure they will come after him with everything they have. Apart from that, he has to bear the legal consequences of his action. He shouldn’t have lost his cool in the first place.
