Chapter 45
“Haha! Do you think pretending to be dead will work on
me?” Joel swaggered out of the room and saw
Alessandra lying on the ground in pain. Not only did he
not show any sympathy, but he also remarked
sarcastically, “It’s not going to work, but I might pray for
you if you were to die here!”
The medical staff at the scene couldn’t help but think
that Joel was inhumane and too arrogant.
A VIP ward was located at the end of the corridor,
which was reserved for their distinguished customers.
Since the Quillen family was one of the hospital investors, Mackenzie was also staying in that VIP ward.
Upon hearing the commotion, Lexi couldn’t stop herself
from exiting the ward and checking things out. After
that, she rushed back into the ward and exclaimed,
“Things don’t look good, Ms. Quillen! Emmanuel’s mom
is lying on the floor in the corridor.”
Mackenzie narrowed her eyes in response. After giving
it some thought, she endured the pain of her stomach flu and went to the entrance to check the situation out.
At that moment, Emmanuel was clenching his fists, but
he wasn’t having a go at Joel. Instead, he was busy
trying to lessen the pain Alessandra was suffering
from.
“He’s a patient man! If it were me, I would’ve started beating that bald man up!” Lexi grumbled.
On the other hand, Mackenzie was smiling, and it seemed like she had a different viewpoint. “Have you
not heard about a saying, Lexi?”
“Huh? What is it, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi was slightly stumped.
“To lose patience is to lose the battle,” Mackenzie
revealed.
Lexi shuddered lightly, and she seemed to have
understood what Mackenzie said. Is Ms. Quillen *
admiring Emmanuel’s patience?
Indeed, if Emmanuel were to beat Joel up, he would
only worsen the situation. In fact, Alessandra could
even get kicked out of the hospital. When Emmanuel
chose to treat Alessandra, not only was he making her
feel better, but he was also avoiding unnecessary
conflicts. Hence, he knew his priority was to get a room
for Alessandra.
“Haha! You can play dead all you want! I’m never
letting you have this room!” Joel provoked Emmanuel
and Alessandra again before returning to his ward,
crossing his legs, and lying on the bed leisurely.
Seeing that, a lot of the medical staff were murmuring
among themselves.
Emmanuel, however, merely kept mum and brought
Alessandra away from there.
