Steven’s expression changed and he boiled with rage. “Director, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to protect him? He beat me up in front of so many people! If I don’t get even with him over this, will I still be able to raise my head high in front of everybody else next time? I’m telling you: even if the Gods were to stand before me today, they won’t be able to protect him!”
The fierce nurse standing beside him immediately piped up as well, “Don’t forget about Crystal, that wench! She is Matthew’s accomplice!”
The director’s expression became very troubled. When he was speaking just now, he had quietly given a look of warning to Steven, indicating for Steven to leave with his men. To his surprise, Steven had ignored his warning look and went so far as to raise his voice instead. Before the director could say anything, Ted frowningly asked, “What? Does this matter relate to Crystal as well?
Then, Crystal immediately replied, “Yes!”
Afterward, she recounted everything that had happened previously. Listening to her story elicited a wave of derision from the surrounding crowd. Steven, there’s nothing wrong with trying to court Crystal. However, how could you use such despicable methods to threaten her after she rejected you? That’s going overboard!
Similarly, the director was rendered speechless too. What Steven had done was so over the line that there was no way for him to help Steven anymore.
Meanwhile, Steven puffed out his chest and said coldly, “Crystal, don’t twist the facts and explain it clearly. The hospital has its own rules. That hospital bed was assigned to another patient with a prior appointment. Now that the patient has arrived, isn’t it only right that I allow them to use the hospital bed that was reserved for them? Everything works on the basis of first come first served. Since they had a prior appointment, that hospital bed was cleared for their use. What’s wrong with that?” Ted nodded slowly in response. “That’s not wrong. Everything works on first come first served after all. If you say that the hospital bed had already been assigned to someone else previously, then there’s nothing we can say about that. However, the patient was in the middle of receiving an intravenous drip. For you to remove the needle just like that… Is that in compliance with the rules? Also, Ellie’s father injured his head just now. As a medical staff, why didn’t you take any action to treat his wounds? Is that in compliance with the rules?”
Steven was criticized to the point of being unable to refute any of those words. Thus, he furiously yelled, “Who are you?! What has this got to do with you?! Who are you to say whether or not my actions comply with the rules?! I came here looking for Matthew! It has got nothing to do with you, so scram! Otherwise, I’ll beat you up together with him!”
Upon hearing those words, the director’s expression changed greatly. Is Steven trying to kill himself?! How could he even dare to yell at Ted?! Then, without giving Ted a chance to say anything, the director immediately spoke up, “Steven, how dare you bring your men here to cause trouble at the hospital? Are you taking the hospital to be a lawless zone? Go! Get all these people out of here now!” Immediately, the security guards aggressively rushed over and forcefully removed the people Steven brought with him.
In response, Steven lost his temper. “Director, are you determined to protect Larson, that b*stard?! I was trying to be respectful toward you; that’s why I didn’t tell my parents anything about this. If they knew that I was attacked at the hospital and that you’re protecting my attacker… Why don’t you take a guess at what they’ll do?!”
The director was rendered completely speechless by those words. I’m trying to help you! Why are you reacting as if I have a grudge against you? “I’m warning you: this is no place for you to go wild! Besides, this person is Crystal’s father—”
Before the director could finish speaking, the fierce nurse immediately interjected, “Oh! So, this is that wench’s father? You can tell immediately that there’s nothing good about him. It surely is as the saying goes: ‘a fish rots from the head down’!”
Following her outburst, the director nearly went mad with anger. He furiously yelled, “What are you saying?! Do you know who he is?! H-How dare you insult Mr. Harrison?! Hurry up and apologize to him right now!”
In response, the fierce nurse vexedly snapped, “Me? Apologize to him? Why should I?! His daughter kicked up a fuss at our department and sullied my reputation! They should be the ones apologizing to me!”
