Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1955

Chapter 1955 Did I Misjudge Her

Wilbur was amused by those words. It’s scary how being two-faced comes so naturally to Mabel. She makes it sound like she’s taking my side, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. According to her, everything is my fault.

I get painted as a willful and disrespectful brat, but she gets to act the part of a caring mother and pretends she’s a nice person. Meanwhile, Rodney’s expression darkened after hearing that.

“Wil, I know things are going great between you and Maya. However, you can’t put someone’s life at risk and do something as irresponsible as abandoning others on the side of the road. That’s taking things too far. Even if it was some other urgent matter and not Maya’s birthday, I believe Maya and Mr. and Mrs. Seet would want you to prioritize saving a person’s life. Am I right, Maya?” Mabel asked.

Maya was quiet for a moment. “Saving a life is important, of course. I’m just wondering why Janice didn’t get admitted into Bernian Hospital? Why was she taken here? Doesn’t she always go to Bernian Hospital?”

Mabel’s heart lurched as her mind whirred to think of an explanation. “Oh! We wanted to go to Bernian Hospital, but when I saw that her condition wasn’t looking too good, I thought it’d be better to go somewhere nearer. Every minute counts, you know.”

“Nearer? This hospital isn’t nearer at all if compared to Bernian Hospital. In fact, it’s much farther.”

“T-That’s because the driver got it mixed up. We told him to take us to the nearest hospital, but he took us here instead.” Mabel’s face paled as she quickly came up with an excuse. Then, she launched into a tirade about how the driver must have taken them to a hospital that was farther because he wanted to earn more cab fare.

“I think this hospital seems quite good. We don’t necessarily have to go to Bernian to get the best doctors,” said Nicholas.

“He’s right. That’s not to say that we think the hospital your mother works at isn’t good enough. It’s just that we didn’t have time to think much about it. It’s more important that Janice gets the medical attention she needs and is no longer in critical danger, isn’t it?”

Maya stared at them, dumbfounded. I still think it doesn’t make sense that they’d send a person in critical condition to a hospital that was much farther. I really hope it was just the driver’s mistake.

“There he is! The doctor is here!” Rodney exclaimed.
