Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 550

She couldn’t believe her supervisor had decided to drop by to visit such an insignificant employee like her.

Obviously, Laura was taken aback. “T-Thank you so much, Sir...”

Zeke waved and assured, “Apart from that, please allow me to express my utmost apology. You have been a loyal employee of the company for the past two decades. I’m sure you have developed such a disease due to the excessive workload. The company should’ve definitely cover your medical bills since it’s part of our responsibilities.”

“However, the previous supervisor of the company has forsaken your wellbeing to satisfy his own greed. Please allow me to apologize on behalf of the previous supervisor. Don’t worry. You have my words. The company will definitely cover the potential expenses you may incur throughout your treatment.”

What!

Laura almost broke into tears as she was touched deep down due to the newly appointed supervisor’s kind nature.

Truth be told, her disease wasn’t the result of excessive workload. Hence, it would’ve been fine even if the company paid no heed to her wellbeing.

However, Zeke decided to poke his nose into her business and classified her condition as the result of excessive workload. He even offered to cover the potential expenses.

Deep down, she considered Zeke as the best employer she had ever run into throughout her life.

However, Laura didn’t wish to accept something she didn’t deserve. “Sir, I see where you’re coming from, but my condition isn’t the result of excessive workload. In fact, I know how tough things must have been for the company for the time being. I don’t wish to burden the company as well.”

In a serious tone, Zeke replied, “Madam, if you refuse to accept our token of apology, that means you do not wish to forgive us...”

Zeke went on for quite some time and tried his best to persuade Laura. In the end, Laura gave in to Zeke and decided to accept the company’s courtesy.

In the end, Zeke offered, “Madam, I’m a doctor as well. Please allow me to take your pulse so that I can assess your condition.”

As soon as Laura heard Zeke’s offer, she reached over and showed him her wrist.

Before long, Zeke had a gloomy expression on his face once he placed his fingers on Laura’s wrist and figured out what was going on.

He yelled angrily, “Who is the attending physician for this old lady over here?”

A scrawny middle-aged doctor stepped forward and said, “I-I’m her attending physician...”

“Why don’t you tell me what sort of disease does she have?” Zeke asked in an aggressive tone.

The scrawny doctor replied, “I-It’s acute coronary heart disease...”

With a vicious look on Zeke’s face, he yelled and warned, “I’ll give you another chance to tell me the truth. What sort of disease does she have?”

In the end, the scrawny doctor was intimidated by Zeke’s domineering presence. He was on the verge of breaking down and told him the truth subconsciously, “I-It’s myocarditis...”

What!

The onlookers got enraged all of a sudden.

“What the heck! A common myocarditis has been diagnosed as acute coronary heart disease? Have they no shame at all?”

“That’s right! Myocarditis can be treated easily. It won’t cost more than five hundred even. However, acute coronary heart disease requires patients to go through a series of surgery. It may cost up to several hundred thousand... I can’t believe it. They are willing to do anything and everything in order to generate profit!”

“I heard that the patient had sold his house to collect the required sum. To be honest, it ain’t even exaggerating to say that they have turned the patient’s life upside down.”

“We can’t possibly allow such inhumane medical practitioners to stay in the medical industry anymore!”

“Damn them all! They should spend the rest of their lives behind bars!”

Laura, who had gotten used to all sorts of hardships, couldn’t keep her cool anymore as well. “What? It’s merely myocarditis? Y-You wretched ba****d! I almost jumped off the building to save my son the trouble of collecting the required sum! Y-You’re a disgrace to doctors!”

Jeffrey could no longer suppress his anger as well. “This is outrageous! I believe you’re aware of what’s in store for you, right? Director, do you know what’s going on all along?”

The director’s face turned pale. He waved and assured them immediately, “No... I have no idea what’s going on at all. Damn it. I have told you guys over and over again. Our patient’s well-being should be our only concern. Did I not make myself clear? Since you have engaged in such illegal activities, you should bear the consequences of your actions. This has nothing to do with the hospital at all.”

By then, the scrawny doctor was trembling in fear.

As a matter of fact, he would only be considered as an accomplice of the hospital should the hospital bear the responsibility. He would merely spend a few years behind bars if that was the case.

However, if he were to bear the consequences by himself, he would have to spend at least two decades behind bars.

He tried to defend himself immediately. “Sir... Please do not try to deny your responsibility. After all, this has always been part of the hospital’s tradition, right? This has always been how we have generated our fortunes. In fact, you were the one who came up with such an idea... You have generated a fortune through such a method as well, right?”

The director got anxious all of a sudden and yelled hysterically, “Shut your mouth this instant! Stop defaming me!”
