Chapter 107
Be ready to face the consequences *Present Time* "Handle what?" Master Cleo rolled his eyes, turning to face the officer. "You've got it all wrong, officer." The man who appeared to be their leader moved forward as the police officers looked at each other. "I'm sorry but who are you?" With an increasingly brutal tone, he questioned. " We have received information that this young man deliberately killed his classmate, operated on him, and disregarded several medical regulations." "Officer, this is the President" Doctor Tony replied awkwardly. "The president of the Hospital." The policeman's hardened stare softened slightly as it settled on the elderly man's short stature. Although he was aware that he had previously seen this man, he was able to identify him once he heard Doctor Tony's response.
Was he not the father of the girl who vanished a few years ago? The police officer's expression softened—not because he realized Master Cleo was First Hospital's president, but rather because he was aware of the man's past struggles.
And in spite of everything he did, they were never able to locate the girl, and the case quickly faded.
"How did you know the patient is dead?" Master Cleo asked, jolting the Police Officer out of his thoughts. "And who revealed that he disregarded medical advice?" "We must verify whether or not the report is accurate. I have heard that some people saw what happened yesterday, and it was not a very pleasant sight. He wasn't a doctor, yet he went against the rules." "This patient is my patient, President but I was late and decided to rush back only to find this young ma in the operation room. I was powerless because there was no way to get in contact with the police or the security
personnel. These two big men were also guarding the..." "Doctor Tony! You were absent for more than eight hours during your patient's final moments, correct? There was evident anger in Master Cleo's voice as he nearly yelled. "The patient would have died if he had not been present." "However, we have been informed that the patient has passed away," an officer stated, appearing perplexed.
"Working efficiently is a very important skill.
Who told you he's dead?" Jeff, who was acting quite composed, said all of a sudden. He approached Billy's bed and gave him a gentle tap on the hand.
Billy opened his eyes slowly, blinking them slowly out of exhaustion in front of Doctor Tony and the other officers. His eyes swept across the room, hitting several people before settling on Jeff.
Billy grinned, uttering the word "Jeff" slowly and with great weakness.
Doctor Tony was astounded by what he saw.
He rushed to the bedside frantically. "How is it possible? He is supposed to be... I mean he has an injury. He isn't supposed to have surgery without proper care? How did he survive? Didn't you..." "How did you find out about his injury?" ‘I... I didn't... "Doctor Tony stuttered, avoiding to meet Jeff's gaze. "But you went against the rules. You are not even a doctor. It does not follow that you did not break the rules just because you treated him.
"He didn't go against the rules, Doctor Tony. I guess you are mistaken" Master Cleo answered.
"What do you mean, President?" Doctor Tony remarked acerbically. "We have rules as...
"He is my trainee and receives instruction from me." With a tone full of rage, Master Cleo interrupted.
"Your... Your apprentice?" Shock struck Doctor Tony, as his eyes widened.
The renowned Master Cleo apprentice is the young man? Doctor Tony couldn't believe his ears. Despite the fact that he and other people had been trying for years to learn new things from this old man, he abruptly declared an unknown boy to be an apprentice.
"Is there a problem with that? While you were away, a young apprentice who did not want First Hospital's reputation to be damaged attended to a dying patient, and you went to call the police?" "I didn't call the police... I was just..." Before he could finish talking, a phone rang, cutting him off.
It was the phone of the Police leader who was struck with silence while watching what was unfolding in front of him.
I I They'd receive a report from the hospital some evidence that was enough to prove everything true. However, it turned out that they'd been fooled.
: )
Without making a sound, he lifted up his phone and held it up to his ear.
With his lips smacking together and his eyes going dark, the Officer listened to the phone call. He turned to face Jeff, who recognized what was amiss right away and was the driving force behind the entire police drama.
"We are really sorry, President and this young man" The officer bowed his head. "We will ensure to conduct additional investigation into everything, including Billy's fall from the building. Actually, we received a piece of evidence that showed your last message to Billy before he fell. I believe this is not a simple accident anymore." "My phone was removed from my pocket. I didn't send the message" Jeff answered nonchalantly and glanced at Billy. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Billy was still weak and couldn't say some words.
Though he must wait until he recovers, Jeff has a ton of questions for him. Who would try to play a trick by stealing his phone and
sending Billy s text message? It was Billy who was the intended victim, not him! "We will call you for some questioning too. I just received a message that a post has been made online regarding this incident” The officer uttered. "We have to go now and get some things done." With the exception of Jeff, Doctor Tony, Master Cleo, the two strong men, and Master Cleo, the police officers ran out.
While behind the door were other doctors who escorted Master Cleo. Doctor Tony was even more anguished because they were all present when everything occurred.
Something was fishy but it was just impossible to accuse someone of everything.
Aside from Doctor Tony's actions, what shocked these doctors was that Master Cleo also revealed that the young man was his apprentice.
They were astounded by what they heard.
EEE EEE ‘Doctor Tony" Suddenly, the room became quiet as a deep voice called out. All eyes shifted to Jeff, wondering what he was going to say. "Be prepared to face the consequences if I find out you are involved in anything related to this."
