Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 417

The doctor bristled, feeling his professional skills had been insulted.

He said sternly, “Ma'am, although the patient's thigh was impaled by a steel rod, the injury was not life-threatening, so you don't need to worry. The surgeons at this hospital are highly skilled. It was just a puncture wound.”

The unspoken message was that Susan had little faith in their abilities.

Susan gave a weak smile. “Sorry, doctor. I was just worried about him.”

The doctor looked at her smile and heard her apology, but he didn't sense an ounce of sincerity. In fact, it seemed like she was hoping for the patient's demise.

Shaking his head, the doctor turned to leave. What kind of family was this?

“Wait, doctor. When we found him, he seemed to have lost his memory.”

The doctor explained, “The head scan showed a severe impact to the back of his head, causing some blood clotting. It's not a good location for surgery, so we'll observe him for a while. If the clot dissipates, his memory should return. It's not too severe, so there's a high chance he'll remember everything.”

Susan asked, “Is there any way to make the amnesia permanent?”

The doctor stared.

Seemingly unnerved by such a difficult relative, he quickened his pace, breaking into a light jog as he moved away.

“Pfft...” Natalie, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh.

Susan saw Natalie's bright, toothy smile and felt a pang of regret. “Sigh! How can such a terrible person have such good luck?”

Natalie's smile faded, her expression growing serious. “Perhaps his good luck was running into us.”

If Jared hadn't encountered them, he would have surely died today. The plot had deviated from her past life.

Susan hesitated for a moment, knowing she had completely fallen out with the Scott family. “Alright,” she said quietly.

She took out her phone and called Wendy.

“Susan,” Wendy's voice was as kind as ever.

Susan explained, “Natalie and I found Jared while we were diving for fish. It looks like he got into a fight, was stabbed, and then pushed into the ocean. He happened to fall right where Natalie was diving. We've brought him to the hospital, but I have work and can't stay to look after him.”

“Natalie has also cut ties with the Scott family, so she has no obligation to care for him. I'm sorry to bother you, but someone needs to be sent to look after him.”

Susan didn't mince words; there was no way to soften a situation like this.

Wendy took a deep breath. “Susan, I don't want to deal with him. Just hire a nurse for him. I'll make sure the nurse gets paid on time.”
