Chapter 185
The North Army soldiers turned excited at the sight of Nathan Cross.
They straightened their backs and stood up straight like a pole. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nathan smiled, “Dr. Rothschild, you’re just in time. A worker’s condition has worsened just moments ago and in need of urgent surgery.”
Penny Smith could not believe her eyes. Her usual calm demeanor disappeared, and she even stuttered when she greeted him, “Dr.- Dr. Rothschild, it’s really you.”
Dr. Rothschild chuckled, “Yes, it’s me. I heard Nathan and you require my help. So, I rushed here immediately.”
Everyone at the scene then cast a curious glance at Nathan Cross and wondered who he is. How was he able to invite Dr. Rothschild here?
Even the mayor for Channing would not be able to invite someone like Dr. Rothschild here.
Of course, Richard Steele was the one to take the greatest punch of all.
The man’s face went paperwhite at the sight of Rupert Rothschild, and he almost peed himself.
Richard Steele wanted to dig a hole and jump into it to hide from Dr. Rothschild.
He knew his teacher all too well. Even though Rupert Rothschild was a benevolent doctor, he detested evilness.
If Dr. Rothschild knew of his wrongdoings, he would truly be done for in the medical community.
Dr. Rothschild had spotted him even though he prayed fervently to be translucent.
Besides, Dr. Rothschild had already heard of what happened on the way to the hospital.
Besides, Dr. Rothschild had already heard of what happened on the way to the hospital.
He knew Richard Steele had tried to take advantage of the situation by trying to extort Penny Smith, demanding an astronomical figure for the operations, and his indecent request to Penny Smith.
Even his repulsive request of asking Nathan Cross to lick his shoes.
Dr. Rothschild wasted no time in briefing the department heads of Channing Hospital to prepare for the surgery, including the anesthetization of the patient. He was ready to operate on the worker whose condition had worsened.
After he was done, he swiftly changed his tone, “However, before I start, I have some cleaning to do.”
His tone was firm and domineering.
Richard Steele seemed like he had just been struck by the lightning when he heard Rupert Rothschild’s words.
Dr. Rothschild then turned around to face Richard Steele after he was done briefing the department heads. His gaze was icy cold when he regarded Richard Steele, “Bastard, are you aware of your wrongdoings?”
Richard Steele’s voice was shaky, “Teacher!”
Dr. Rothschild bellowed, “Kneel!”
Rupert Rothschild was not only Richard Steele’s teacher but also a titan in the medical community. He held an unsurmountable position in the army as well.
His order made Richard Steele’s legs turn to jelly. The latter got down on his knees immediately.
Dr. Rothschild was infuriated at the sight of Richard Steele and shouted at him, “Do you still remember my first lesson? One has to establish virtue before studying medicine!”
“I’ve long heard about you using the skills you learned from me to gain lucrative profit but I did not want to interfere.”
“Who would have thought that you would stoop so low for money? From now on, you’re no longer my student.”
“I will also ask for the Medical Association to revoke your license as a medical practitioner.”
Richard Steele shuddered at Dr. Rothschild’s words, crying as he circled his hands around Dr. Rothschild’s legs. “Teacher, please forgive me, it’s all my fault...”
Dr. Rothschild was impassive toward his pleading, “You should ask Mr. Cross for forgiveness instead.”
Richard Steele cast a glance at Nathan Cross, and he widened his eyes in disbelief. Is he saying that I can only survive if Nathan Cross forgives me?
Richard Steele threw his dignity out the window, and he crawled to Nathan Cross and Penny Smith, kowtowing to them as he pleaded for their mercy, “Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, I’m really sorry. I beg you guys to put in a good word to my teacher and let me go this time.”
