Chapter 403 We Are a Family
After Colin finished his words, and before Abbot could answer, there was a rush of footsteps to the emergency room.
After that, the nurse was reporting.
"It was a fight. One of them has a broken leg while another has a broken arm."
"The one with the broken leg was sent to the operating room and Dr. Wyatt is with him."
"Dr. Carter, remember to treat him nicer later. I heard that the one who is inside the room is the son of an aristocratic family. I'm afraid..."
While the nurse was talking, there was a man who reached the door, and she stopped talking abruptly.
Hearing the nurse's description of himself, Abbot was angry. However, after he saw the doctor who appeared at the door, he swallowed hard.
"Ja...Jadon."
Jadon was wearing a white lab coat and looked gentle. He glanced at Abbot but he didn't say anything.
The Carters were an aristocratic family who took their reputation very seriously.
When it came to Abbot's generation, he was the only child in the family, and Jadon had never got married. So, he was spoiled and became an unruly child.
Jadon didn't say a word to Abbot from the moment he entered the door till he was seated.
After sitting down, he turned on the computer and ask routinely, "Name."
Abbot smiled awkwardly and said, "Jadon."
Jadon was expressionless and asked, "Name."
Abbot responded properly, "Abbot Carter."
Jadon continued, "Age."
Abbot answered, "Turning twenty-nine but I'm twenty-eight now."
Jadon retracted his gaze from the computer and looked at Abbot, "Twenty-eight? I thought you were seventeen or eighteen."
Abbot was speechless.
No matter how stupid Abbot was, he could know from Jadon's words that he was being sarcastic.
Abbot was silent and scratching his cheeks with his uninjured hand.
Seeing that Abbot was awkward, Colin, who was standing beside him, chuckled and said, "Jadon, Abbot is injured today because of me."
Jadon raised his head and seemed confused, "Huh?"
Colin said solemnly, "The man who is in the operating room with the leg fractured harassed Faye sexually. Abbot couldn't stand it so he laid his hands on him."
Jadon always had a good impression of Colin.
Hearing Colin's words, his expression obviously turned much better although he seemed to have some doubts.
Seeing that, Abbot took the opportunity to say good things for himself, "Jadon, you have no idea how rude the man was. I have been taught by you since I was a child. I must protect the weak, women and children..."
Abbot was getting more vigorous the more he spoke. Jadon raised his hand and made a 'stop' motion, wrote a few orders, and said "Go to get some checks done."
Abbot answered, "Oh."
Abbot stood up with the checklist, and Colin followed him to leave the room.
After a few steps, Abbot turned to look at Rebecca.
Rebecca was still talking to Faye. Suddenly, she noticed that was someone looking at her, she raised her head subconsciously.
They looked right into each other. Abbot didn't look good. He frowned and said, "I'm fine. You should carry on with your stuff. Aren't you supposed to accompany your grandma for the checkup?"
Rebecca only noticed that Jadon, who was sitting in front of the computer had been looking at her all the time. She pursed her lips and forced a smile out of politeness, "Ja...Jadon."
Jadon smiled and asked, "Is your grandma here for a full body checkup?"
Rebecca replied in embarrassment, "Yes."
Jadon picked up the landline on his desk and made a call.
When the call was connected, Jadon raised his head and asked Rebecca, "What's your grandma's name?"
Rebecca answered, "Maynard...Maynard..."
Jadon was very patient and smiled gently, "Is her surname Maynard? This surname sounds quite fancy..."
Before Jadon could finish his words, he heard Rebecca say, "Olivia Maynard."
Jadon didn't say anything.
Jadon managed to put Olivia on the fast track and the progress of her body checkup was greatly increased.
Rebecca blushed and thanked him.
Jadon smiled softly, "No worries. We are a family."
Hearing that, Rebecca explained immediately, "Jadon, you may have misunderstood. Mr. Carter and I are just in a business cooperation relationship. It isn't like what you are thinking."
Jadon nodded solemnly and said, "Understood."
Rebecca thought to herself, "But your expression told me that you didn't get it."
On the other side, Abbot was doing his checkup. Colin was waiting in the corridor and seemed to be thinking about something. The phone in his pocket rang.
Colin took out his mobile phone and answered the call. It was Ethan's voice came from the other end, "Tiffany has sent Blaine into the prison. Do you know that?"
