Chapter 27 Chapter 27 "And stop reporting to me. You're on your own now. Get lost," Nathan snapped. The intern's face went ghostly pale as he stammered out apologies. "I-I'm sorry, Dr. Evans. I messed up. I'll go talk to those people from Kingtonelle right away." At the mention of Kingtonelle, Nathan's expression eased a little. People from Kingtonelle were either loaded or had serious connections. Even if he couldn't get in with them, it was still a bad idea to cross them. "Alright, I'll head over in a bit," he said, though he didn't actually move. David was freaking out. He tried calling the Sherman family for help, but before he could get through, the heart monitor in the room started beeping like crazy. The Summers family's top doctor rushed over, shouting, "Something's wrong with Mr. Summers! His heart's stopped. We need to start CPR now." David's legs felt like jelly as he listened to the chaos. He thought about calling Charles, but with the way things were between Charles and Samuel, he wasn't sure if Charles would even come. The room was in total disarray. The surgeon wasn't there, and the interns and nurses were too scared to operate. They could only do basic life-saving measures. Finally, David dialed Charles's number. Charles picked up, his voice blazing with fury. "David, are you out of your damn mind? Grandpa's on the brink and you only call me now?" "Mr. Summers kept saying he was fine a-and didn't want to bother you..." David stammered, voice trembling. "You damn fool!" Charles roared, his eyes practically burning. "I'm coming over right now. Listen up. If anything happens to Grandpa, you're going down with him." After the call ended, David's legs gave out and he slid down the wall, panic flooding his mind. He was totally screwed now. Suddenly, he grabbed a doctor by the arm. "Please, you have to save Mr. Summers! He can't die." The Summers family's chief physician looked troubled. "Mr. Summers's illness is extremely rare, and with all his underlying conditions, the wrong medication could be fatal. Honestly, Dr. Evans is probably the only one who can handle this." "But Dr. Evans still hasn't come!" David's eyes were red with anxiety. "We can't let anything happen to Mr. Summers. Is Dr. Evans doing this on purpose or what? I'm going to find him." "Step aside. I'll take care of this," Olivja said, strolling up to David with Jenny in tow. She shot a glance at Samuel lying in the room. Her voice was low and lazy, yet it carried such commanding presence that everyone instinctively turned to look at her. David racked his brain but couldn't place her. He asked cautiously, "And you are?" 1/3 Chapter 27 Olivia looked young, her hair casually draped over her shoulders. Under the lights, her skin seemed almost perfect, and the dark mole beneath her right eye added a touch of world-weariness to her beauty. "She's a doctor," Jenny declared proudly, lifting her chin. "All the doctors here together couldn't compare to her." David finally noticed Jenny and immediately recognized her. He tried to calm her down. "Jenny, what are you doing here? Seriously, this isn't a place for you to mess around." "David, just trust me," Jenny interrupted him. "Olivia saved my life. I mean it." Her face was all seriousness. "If anything. happens, I'll take the blame." David hesitated, and then finally nodded. He figured he had nothing to lose at this point. "Alright, then please, give it a shot. Save Mr. Summers," he said respectfully to Olivia. Olivia nodded back. "I'll do my best." Just as Olivia was about to step into the room, a mocking laugh sounded behind her. "What kind of reckless brat thinks she can perform surgery in the Evans family's hospital?" "So it's you," Nathan said, his expression darkening as he recognized Olivia. His father had already told him about Olivia, the strange kid the Sherman family was sponsoring. She had allegedly made Natalie humiliated on the street all day and even predicted his father would have a car accident. that night. Nathan didn't believe a word of it. "What, broke and now trying to con your way into the hospital?" Nathan sneered, giving Olivia a look full of contempt. "You pick up those cheap tricks and now you are trying to fool people with that? Pathetic." He turned to the staff, his voice icy. "Get these outsiders out of here." David and the Summers family's top doctor pushed back right away. "No way. We're not leaving Mr. Summers." Nathan snorted dismissively. "Fine, do as you please. If you won't leave, I will. Let's see how long your old man manages without me." He exuded arrogance since countless people were eager to receive his treatment. If they didn't cooperate, he simply wouldn't waste his time. After all, he was a world-class doctor, with people queuing up for miles just for a chance at his expertise. David was so mad he was lost for words. He'd heard Nathan had a nasty temper, but he never imagined the guy could be this much of a jerk. Nathan shot Olivia another look, a wicked smirk twisting his lips. "You want my help? Fine, but only if you play by my rules." Everyone in the room turned their attention to him, sensing a glimmer of hope mixed with tension. "This broke student here pissed off my old man and messed with my family," Nathan sneered, jabbing a finger at Olivia. "If you want me to save your grandpa, she has to apologize to me. And then, she'll have to sleep with me for two nights." David's blood was boiling. He'd never seen anyone so disgusting. Nathan should ask a girl to sleep with him, like he was even worth it. 2/3 21:12 Fri, 29 Aug Chapter 27 "And on top of that, she has to wipe my pants clean," Nathan sneered, grabbing a cup of coffee and "accidentally" spilling it all over his thigh. He let out a nasty laugh. "Do that, and maybe I'll save your old man." David was shaking with rage. He stormed over and punched Nathan right in the face. "You filthy animal! Scum!" Still not satisfied, he kicked Nathan hard. "Look at you-fat, ugly, and you think you deserve to touch a girl like her? Disgusting." Nathan slumped to the floor, blood streaming from his nose and shards of his glasses scattered everywhere. He touched his face, his expression turning cold. "Fine, I'm out. Let's see who else can save your precious chairman now." "Piece of trash..." David was trembling with rage, fists still clenched, ready to go at Nathan again. Olivia reached out to stop David, her tone flat and unruffled. "Focus on saving first." David finally managed to steady himself and nodded. "Please, we're counting on you. You have to save Mr. Summers." Nathan rolled his eyes from the floor. "You really think some broke kid can pull this off? Let's see if your old man can survive her messing around." The Summers family's doctors started to waver and tried to talk sense into David. "This isn't the time for pride. Mr. Summers's life comes first. Dr. Evans is the only one in Hillarica who can handle this. Don't get on his bad side now." Nathan tilted his head back, looking down his nose at everyone. "Hear that? I'm the only one who can treat him." 3/3 Freelance photographer Violet Beck is forced into an engagement with CEO Roy Payne.
