Knowing that Patrick had left the hospital, Barbara was not in the mood to stay.She had just had a phone call with Christina, which irritated her even more.
Presumably, it was still early, so the hospital lobby was not crowded at all.
It appeared quite desolate with its broad space.
Barbara trudged with her ten-centimeter black high heels on the marble floor, making a series of sharp and clear sounds...
However, just as she was about to walk out of the large glass door of the hospital, a familiar figure on the left suddenly caught her attention.
Barbara halted, frowning and inspecting the corridor on the left.
Derek? Why was he here? She thought for two seconds and skittered to follow him.
The far left corridor in the lobby of the hospital was connected to the pediatrics clinic, which was usually the busiest place.
Even now, many parents came over with their children for injections.
Several nurses hurried past with medical supplies in their hands, and the cleaners also bustled in cleaning up with trash cans.
Barbara looked around hurriedly.Did she get confused with someone else just now?
"Hand it over!"
A brisk voice came from the back door of the pediatrics department.
The voice was not loud, but audibly conveying a hint of anger.
Barbara didn't expect that it was him.Barbara passed through the parents holding their children and arrived at the back door of the department.
Then she saw Derek grabbing the collar of a doctor with his left hand, forcing him back against the wall.
At the back door of the pediatrics department, there was an open space with a cement floor.
Apart from the hospital staff, there were very few passers-by, and even the dirty walls were covered with moss.
Barbara was surprised, for it was the first time she had seen Derek in such agitation.
"Hand it over."
He seemed to be truly in a rage, repeating in a deep voice.
He clenched his right fist and was about to teach the weak doctor a lesson the next second.
"I really don't know what you're talking about."
The doctor explained nervously.
Derek's fair and handsome face was now even more vicious.
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, his right fist had already hit the doctor's jaw, causing the doctor to curl up in pain.
The doctor dodged in fear and wanted to shout, but Derek strade forward and covered his mouth with his right palm at an extremely fast speed.
His left hand had already grabbed his neck and kept tightening its strength.
Barbara was frightened.
She looked at the doctor in the white robe with a name card saying ‘Steven’ on his chest as his face was writhing in suffocating agony.
She didn't know what kind of old grudge Derek had borne towards this doctor, but she knew that Derek had always been left-handed.
He appeared to be fair and slender, but his strength was amazing.
She also heard that he had practiced martial arts for a few years for a woman.
The doctor would die at this rate...
Barbara had been in the workplace for many years, and she felt that it was time to shout for attention.
As she was about to yell, five tough-looking men rushed over from the other side, one of them turning out to be Larry, who had a fat head and a big belly.
He cursed in a rough voice "Don't kill him.We still have many things to grill from him.Don't kill him."
Derek's expression was awful.He threw the doctor away into the corner the way he would with garbage.
