Chapter 183
They arrived at Channing Hospital in no time.
The ICU was in a chaos.
One of the workers’ condition had worsened and he was in need of surgery immediately.
The head of the surgical department, Bennett Xander was explaining to the family members that the operation only had a survival rate of about 10%, and convinced them to sign the surgery consent form for the hospital to be able to operate on him immediately.
The family burst into mournful sobs and refused to sign the consent form.
Dr. Xander and the family members swarmed Nathan Cross and Penny Smith when they saw the two of them approaching.
Dr. Xander took the initiative to talk to Penny. “Ms. Smith, one of the patients’ condition has worsened and he is in need of immediate surgery.”
One of the family members then chimed in, “Ms. Smith, Dr. Xander told us the survival rate for the surgery is only 10%. How can we bring ourselves to sign the consent form?”
“Ms. Smith, didn’t you promise to invite Dr. Steele to operate on them? Where is he?”
Penny stuttered and could not answer their burning questions. She cast a helpless look at Nathan as she was also curious about the famous surgeon he had allegedly invited to perform the surgeries.
A voice could be heard coming from the crowd before Nathan could answer her.
Everybody turned their heads to locate the source. A man with a swollen face could be seen. It was no other than the unethical doctor, Richard Steele who had been knocked out a few teeth by Nathan Cross.
Richard Steele walked over to Nathan and Penny’s side, eyeing them with contempt.
Dr. Xander eyes glinted at the sight of Richard Steele, and he was pleasantly surprised, “My goodness, it’s Dr. Richard Steele, Dr. Rupert Rothschild’s student from Adventist Private Hospital!”
Dr. Xander excitedly chipped in, “If Dr. Steele is operating, I think it’s safe to say that we have a survival rate of 50%!”
The family members murmured excitedly when they realized the man was Richard Steele.
It’s great that Ms. Smith has invited him to perform the surgery!
However, their enthusiasm was dampened when Richard Steele clarified, “I’m sorry, people. I just happened to pass by here, I’m not here to perform the surgery.”
The family members’ hopes were shattered into pieces upon hearing his words.
They then cast doubtful glances at Penny, “Ms. Smith, didn’t you say you will get Dr. Steele to perform the surgery? What happened?”
Penny was burning with anxiety and hurriedly said to Richard Steele, “Dr. Steele, I promise to pay you six billion for the three workers’ surgeries.”
The crowd went silent at the mention of six billion.
They knew Richard Steele was the ‘Doctor for the Rich’. However, they did not expect him to go over the top.
The family members kept silent. They thought Penny was sincere enough, seeing as she was willing to fork out six billion to save the three workers’ lives. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
However, they were about to get even more taken aback at what Richard Steele was about to say.
Richard Steele sneered at Penny’s remark, “Hah! Six billion is just for my hard work. But you did not agree to the amount, and your husband has me beaten up, even having the audacity to demand that I come apologizing to him, kneeling.”
Richard Steele then shamelessly added, “My condition is not just the six billion now.”
Penny’s face grimaced at his words, “What other conditions?”
Richard Steele then shot a glance at Nathan, “Other than the six billion, I want Nathan Cross to kneel and apologize to me. Not only that, I want him to lick my shoes while he’s at it!”
