Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Amazon’s Conspiracy

At noon the next day, Godfrey stood before Amazon General Hospital, the largest hospital in Amazon City, known for its exquisite design and immense size. It was also one of the most renowned hospitals on the continent and beyond.

Lots of cars were parked outside, and many people walked in and out. Some ambulances drove in, rushing patients inside, but Godfrey didn’t even seem to notice.

It was as if he walked in his own world, his face void of a smile. He walked through the glass doors, straight to the receptionist.

"I want to see my mother. She’s Valentina Daniels."

The receptionist looked up at the golden-haired teen with wide eyes the moment she heard that name. She had been typing on her monitor, preparing to ask her usual questions without even looking, but that name caught her off guard.

"You’re Doctor Valentina’s son!" she gasped. "Wait a moment, let me make a call."

Godfrey nodded, leaning on the counter, then suddenly saw his mother walking through the corridor on the second floor, surrounded by a group of medical experts.

Godfrey cupped his hands around his mouth. "Mum!"

His loud voice drew gazes, and it also caught his mother’s attention. She couldn’t mistake that voice.

Valentina’s eyes widened at the sight of her son, and she quickened her pace toward the escalator.

Her assistant panicked. "Doctor Valentina, you have a patient!"

Valentina ignored her call. Even while on the escalator, she kept taking hurried steps until she reached the floor and threw her arms around Godfrey.

Godfrey embraced his mother tightly, sinking his head into her neck, where he could breathe in her familiar scent.

She coughed softly, and his eyes gleamed. "I’m here to take you home," he said, watching the other doctors descend.

Godfrey proceeded to hold his mother’s hand. "You’ll also be resigning from this place. You’ve been working here since before I was born, that’s enough."

Valentina was stunned to hear what Godfrey said, but the shock hit the other doctors even harder.

"What?! What did you just say?!" Valentina’s assistant gasped.

"Can’t you see her face?! It’s pale! She’s clearly down, yet she worked yesterday, and today she’s still here, healing people who will find another doctor once she’s dead!" Godfrey yelled, veins popping on his neck as he glared at the woman.

She flinched.

"Young man, this is a hospital," one of the doctors said sternly.

"I know and we’re just leaving," Godfrey replied curtly as he walked out, hand in hand with his mother. She didn’t say a word.

As they drove out in her car, Valentina turned to Godfrey, who was still fuming in silence, and smiled brightly.

"Why are you smiling?" Godfrey asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I needed someone to pull me out of there," she explained gently. "My little boy has grown up." She beamed, but then her eyes narrowed.

"Is that why you left school?!"

Noticing her tone was about to change, Godfrey picked up his phone. "I’m texting Victoria. What would you like to eat? Let me inform her."

Valentina scoffed. "She’s quite down."

"What?!" Godfrey’s eyes widened. Victoria was also sick?!
