Chapter 778 Unimpressed
In fact, Fiona had waited for more than two months before she could even be admitted to Ternion Hospital. Her condition had deteriorated so much by then that there was no choice but to place her in an intensive care unit.
Given that she was in her recovery stage, it'd be difficult for her to be readmitted to the hospital if she were kicked out now.
“Who has the nerve to cause trouble in the hospital?” Janessa Danowski asked before letting her gaze fall on Donald. “Is it you?”
“That's right. It's me.”
A sneer crept across Janessa's face as she grabbed a thick wad of notes from her bag and threw it at Donald's feet.
“Oh, I've seen plenty of people like you... You're only after money, aren't you? Well, that's thirty thousand on the floor. Take it and get out of my sight!”
Instead of picking up the money, Donald stuck his foot out and stepped on it. Oh, for goodness' sake... What age are we living in? Why do people still think money makes the world go round?
“Initially, I only wanted to go after Dr. Yardley, but now I see you're the real culprit behind this mess. In that case, I shall cut to the chase,” he piped up. “You'll have to compensate us, but I want you to get on your knees and hand the money over respectfully. More importantly, you can't take this ward.”
Needless to say, Janessa was furious. What the f*ck! This punk is too arrogant!
“Come in, Heston! It's time to teach this insolent brat a lesson!” she shouted toward the door.
Within seconds, Heston Dinger entered the ward.
Tall and built like a tank, the man was undoubtedly not one to be messed with—a fact that Nikita and Evelyn were well aware of as they hastily hid behind Donald.
“Mr. Campbell, why don't we call the office and let them handle this matter?”
“No need. I can easily take down a dozen men like him.”
Alas, as soon as Donald said that, Heston made a fist and swung at his head.
At the same time, Donald darted aside and brought his leg up to kick the burly man in the face.
It was the most basic attack, but it was also swift as lightning.
Heston didn't even have time to react as he felt a powerful strike to his face and instantly keeled over with a sickening thud.
Donald had ended the fight within three seconds, much to the shock of Tatum and Janessa.
Oh, my goodness... Is this brat from the special forces? How did he pull that off in just one move?
“Hmm... Your bodyguard isn't that impressive, either,” Donald uttered nonchalantly. “I guess the security guards on their way here wouldn't be any better, huh? Forget it. I'd better make a call to settle this tedious matter.”
With that, he fished his phone out and dialed Hannah's number.
After all, violence was the only way to handle people like Janessa, but he'd need to rely on his connections to take Tatum down.
Thankfully, it only took two rings before the call was answered.
Knowing that Hannah was a woman of few words, Donald quickly explained his situation and asked if she could help.
Sure enough, the former's reply was short and sweet, as though saying anything more would be a massive waste of time. “Yes. Buy me a meal.”
“No problem. I'll treat you the next time you're in Pollerton.”
“I'm in Pollerton now.”
This time, it was Donald's turn to be speechless.
“Are you backing out?” Hannah suddenly asked, which only made one wonder if she was angry.
Donald let out a bitter chuckle. “Of course not. I just wasn't mentally prepared for it.”
“That's not necessary. I'll finish my work and look for you,” Hannah answered before hanging up the phone.
“Well, how is it? Did you manage to call for help?”
