Neil's face contorted with rage. "You devious witch."
Irene, however, was unmoved—she had seen through Neil's true nature and she was not interested in being petty like him!
Dennis, however, almost passed out again from sheer frustration toward his son!
Pointing at him, he snapped, "Don't you know that I'd be dead if she didn't insist on operating on me?! She put everything on the line to save me, but you sued her instead of thanking her?! Who taught you to be such an ingrate, huh?!"
Neil retorted stubbornly, "She broke regulation—"
"Do you think I'd be alive if she followed regulation?!" Dennis huffed.
Irene simply stood in her corner, watching quietly.
Ray, worried that Dennis would get a stroke again, quickly rubbed his back. "You just woke up—try to stay calm or it'd hamper your recovery. Just talk things out with him calmly."
Then, he turned toward Neil and said, "I'm the one who told your father. In my opinion, you made a mistake, which was why I decided on my own to tell him. Complain to me if you have any grievances—stop taking it out on a woman."
Neil's face twitched. "What, so you are all the good guys, while I'm the villain?!"
"You made a mistake, so own up to it! Quit being so stubborn and blame everything except yourself. And go to court right now and withdraw the lawsuit, or I'm disowning you!" Dennis snapped, issuing an ultimatum.
Even though Neil was pigheaded, he was still obedient to Dennis.
"Alright, I'll go. Just calm down, or you'll affect your health. The only people who really care about you is me and the family—"
