Chapter 267
Chapter 267
"Grandpa, I know. I understand now." Patrick grabbed Ned by the hand, "It's just that I..."
"Patrick, you can only be responsible for a woman after getting married. And the woman is your wife." Ned looked at Patrick, "You... You can't tread the same path as mine. Otherwise, besides hurting these two women, you will hurt their children and even your family."
Everyone in the ambulance got Ned's point quite well.
At this time, the ambulance arrived at Holy Spirit Hospital.
Ned was immediately sent into the emergency room.
I, Shelton, and Patrick were sitting at the door of the emergency room.
Shelton and I sat together.
Patrick sat across from us.
While waiting, Patrick looked up at Shelton, "Uncle Shelton, how about you tell Miss Nolan who the big boss behind this hospital is?"
I looked up at Patrick, feeling confused as to
what he meant for a moment.
However, a moment later, Shelton's voice rang next to me, "It's me."
"You?"
Feeling stunned, I looked at Shelton.
Holy Spirit Hospital was the best private hospital in City Y.
The doctors in Holy Spirit Hospital were the best. Cooperating with many foreign research institutes, it possessed the best medical technology in the world.
It served those at the top of the social class in City Y only.
How could such an amazing hospital belong to Shelton?
Shelton raised his hand and patted me on my head, smiling bitterly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose. I just don't want you to feel that I'm too far beyond your reach."
"Uncle Shelton, stop trying to make others think you are innocent and harmless with your words."
Patrick spoke coldly.
It was probably because Shelton didn't wear glasses that he looked cold and commanding at this time. Looking at him, I found him a little strange for a moment.
Patrick called out to
me, "Janetta Nolan." When I looked at him, he looked at me with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Didn't you say that you were worried that he would lose the bet between me and him? Let me tell you, if I gamble with him, the probability that I will lose will be 90%."
"How is this possible?"
I blurted out.
Subconsciously, I never thought that Patrick would lose.
Also, Shelton was just the boss of the Holy Spirit Hospital behind-the-scenes.
With one more Holy Spirit Hospital in his hands, he surely couldn't compete with Patrick who had Towering High.
Patrick looked at me and curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile. He said helplessly, "What you see now is only the tip of the iceberg. Among Uncle Shelton's properties, I'm afraid that Holy Spirit Hospital was only a drop in the bucket."
"No way."
I looked at Patrick in disbelief.
In my eyes, Shelton was just someone that was in charge of Glorious Light Hospital, a small-sized hospital. Now he had Holy Spirit Hospital in his hands, which startled me quite much.
How come Patrick actually said that Holy Spirit Hospital was a small part of his properties?
"It's impossible." I looked at Shelton.
Patrick had been staring at me all the time.
Seeing that I didn't believe him, he said nothing else further. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, take it as a joke." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing his smile, I could feel that he couldn't be more helpless.
He seemed to be helpless about me not trusting him.
Hearing him say so, I felt empty in my heart.
At this time, Shelton held my hand in his palm and asked me, "I'm going to arrange for a ward for my father. Are you coming with me?"
"I..." I hesitated for a moment. Ater Shelton left, I would stay with Patrick alone. Thinking that it wasn't appropriate for me to stay here, I could only nod, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Let's go."
Shelton pulled me away.
I glanced at Patrick out of the corner of my eyes. Sitting there, Patrick crossed his hands in front of his face as if he were looking ahead.
It seemed that he wasn't looking at anything at all.
Shelton and I arrived at the administrative building of Holy Spirit Hospital together.
It was probably because it was at night that the administrative building was empty with only one guard there.
Shelton walked over, placed his business card on the stage, and asked, "Which Vice Dean is on duty tonight?"
The guard picked up the business card and read it before answering, "It's Vice Dean Galen."
"Okay."
Hearing the guard's words, Shelton pulled me and walked into an elevator.
Just now, I saw that the title on the business card he had given to the guard indicated that he was the Dean of Glorious Light Hospital.
I followed him to get into the elevator and went to the door of an office on the fourth floor with a sign reading Vice Dean on it.
Without even knocking on the door, Shelton went straight inside.
"Oops, Dean, you're such a bad guy..."
"You little slut! Don't tell me you want to report your work to me by dressing like this in the middle of the night!"
As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man's and a woman's voices came from inside.
I looked through the crack of the door and saw the Vice Dean sitting at the innermost of a desk with a nurse in a light pink uniform for nurses in his arms.
With the nurse placing one leg of hers on the table, the scene looked quite...
After we went in, they didn't even notice us at the first moment.
"Knock. Knock. Knock."
Shelton knocked on the door twice and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you."
Seeing someone coming in, the vide dean, who was originally enthusiastic, immediately became furious. He turned to the door and said, "Who are you? How can you come in..." Before he could finish his words, he looked surprised right away and hurriedly stood up.
Picking up his pants, he said to the nurse next to him, "Go out first!"
Glancing at Shelton, the nurse didn't seem to know Shelton. With an overwhelmingly reluctant look on her face, she walked out slowly.
The Vice Dean was anxious. "Get out of here quickly!"
"Ah! Okay."
The nurse didn't expect the director to say so. She was so scared that she ran away.
When passing by Shelton, she glared at Shelton
As soon as the nurse left, the Vice Dean immediately walked up to Shelton and said respectfully, "Mr. Shelton, well, why didn't you inform me that you would come here? I could have gone downstairs to pick you up in person."
"While you are on duty on usual days, instead of going downstairs to have a check, it turns out that you are doing such a thing in the office, right?"
Shelton was taller than the Vice Dean. Lowering his eyes and staring at the Vice Dean, Shelton looked serious.
"No, no. It's all because the nurse wants to be promoted to be the head of the nurses. So she came to my place. I...I..." Speaking of this, the Vice Dean couldn't go on making up a story. In the end, he bowed his head, "I was possessed. Please forgive me!"
"Forgive you?"
Shelton looked at him indifferently.
With his glasses taken off by Patrick, at this time, he, who usually had a gentle look in his eyes, looked quite sharp.
Knowing that he had done something wrong, the Vice Dean was so scared that his legs went limp, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shelton. I truly know I was wrong! I'll fire that bitch in a minute! She's the one who seduced me!"
Shelton, who seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth. In the end, he turned to look at me beside him and said in a calm tone, "Janetta, go back and wait for me. I have something to do."
"Noted."
I nodded and glanced at the Vice Dean.
He was in his fifties. He bowed his waist and dared not raise his head. Clenching his hands tightly, he looked quite frightened.
To be honest, if I hadn't seen such a scene with my own eyes, I surely wouldn't have believed that Shelton could intimidate others so much.
