However, the old Simpson didn't have time so soon. In the morning, he needed to undergo a physical examination and watch the morning news for a while before having free time.
Camille was about to leave for the hospital after 9:30 am. Today, she didn't use a driver and drove herself.
Just as she was driving out of Franklin Bay, she received a message on her phone.
She already knew who it was from without even looking.
So she didn't bother to open the message. She knew it wouldn't be good news without even reading it.
It was better not to know anything than to feel bad after reading it.
Camille had learned to turn a blind eye to Preston's confrontations. It was the best way, and Preston had no way to deal with her.
Camille took a deep breath and continued driving to the hospital. During this time, she didn't even touch her phone because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. She didn't want to look at her phone any more than necessary.
After reaching the hospital, Camille took the elevator upstairs with her phone and purse. She didn't inform the old Simpson in advance of her arrival, planning to surprise him.
When Camille arrived at the door of the hospital room, she gently pushed it open. Inside, she could hear voices. It was Dr. Ellis and the old Simpson.
The old Simpson asked, "Dr. Ellis, just tell me the truth. When can I have the surgery with my current condition? Or is it impossible for me to have this opportunity in my lifetime?"
The old Simpson had specially called for Dr. Ellis today. Usually, when he wanted to see Dr. Ellis alone, Dr. Ellis would find an excuse to decline. But once Fletcher was in the hospital, Dr. Ellis would come along with him. The old Simpson noticed that Dr. Ellis was deliberately avoiding him, so today, without even having breakfast, he went straight to Dr. Ellis's ward. To avoid being recognized, he even disguised himself.
Therefore, the nurses didn't pay much attention. Only those who were familiar with Dr. Ellis's office would know, because Dr. Ellis had two offices. One was the dean's office, and the other belonged to Dr. Ellis. He would usually use Dr. Ellis's office most of the time.
The old Simpson had been waiting in Dr. Ellis's office for a long time until thirty minutes ago when Dr. Ellis arrived at the hospital. He only noticed the old Simpson after entering his own office. It was a surprising encounter, but there was no way out for Dr. Ellis because the old Simpson would never give him that opportunity.
Finally, persuaded by Dr. Ellis, the old Simpson agreed to return to his ward, but Dr. Ellis had to accompany him.
That's when the conversation just happened.
Faced with the old Simpson's inquiry, Dr. Ellis was unsure how to answer. At this moment, he desperately hoped that Ayan or Fletcher would suddenly appear, but he knew it was highly unlikely.
Dr. Ellis remained silent for a while, then spoke softly, "When you ask me this question, the old Simpson, are you asking as a doctor or as a junior?"
Dr. Ellis had considered the possibility of the old Simpson asking about his condition privately. He had made many assumptions, so he had a way to respond in such a conflicting situation.
He continued to gaze steadily at the old Simpson. His words also stunned the old Simpson for a moment before he replied, "As a doctor."
