Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 6

Today, Brandon decided to take a stroll on his own. When the family doctor was out getting meds, and Bennett was buying water, he seized the moment and sneaked out of the car solo.

Phew, thank goodness they found him, or they'd be toast!

The family doctor glared at Josefina and scoffed, "Where did this little missy come from, trying to play doctor? I bet you didn't even finish high school, did ya? Who's gonna take the fall if this man kicks the bucket, huh?"

Bennett jumped in quickly, "Dr. Kyler, please, you gotta save Mr. Brandon."

Dr. Kyler raised an eyebrow, looking down her nose at Josefina, and said to Bennett, "Let's get him to the hospital first. This ain't the place to treat him."

Josefina clapped her hands and crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes dancing confidently as she firmly said, "You lay one finger on him, and he's a goner for sure."

This...

Bennett was caught in a bind, waffling back and forth.

Dr. Kyler let out a cold laugh. "He's out cold. Not rushing him to the hospital is asking for trouble. You're full of hot air, little missy! You think I won't call the cops on you right now?"

Josefina was unfazed. "Go ahead, call them. Let's see who gets nabbed."

Just then, an old man passing by added his two cents, "The girl's right, move him now, and he won't make it to the hospital. But hey, even if you don't, he's a goner anyway and won't last a minute before he bites the dust."

Dr. Kyler was about to lash out when she caught sight of the newcomer and was taken aback. "Professor!"

This man was a famous retired doctor!

Bennett pleaded with the professor, "Please, sir, could you save him?"

The professor shook his head, looking troubled. "Sorry, this gentleman is beyond saving."
