Chapter 272 A Woman Not to Be Trifled With


    The doctors were looking at each other, not one stepping forward to answer. If they told the truth,


    they''d surely offend Gabriel. If they kept up the lies and upset Liam, they would face consequences


    they couldn''t bear. So, the best choice for the doctors right now seemed to be to keep their mouths


    shut and say nothing.


    Seeing that not a soul among the doctors was willing toe forward with the truth, Liam''s face


    showed his disappointment, and he shook his head, letting out a sigh. "Ah..."


    Just as Liam was at the height of his disappointment, a young man wearing sses stepped


    forward. His name was Owen Foster, a graduate of New York Medical University assigned to the


    county hospital. Although his performance was outstanding, he was still an intern after three years


    and had not be a full-time doctor. His contemporaries, even those less qualified and skilled,


    had secured their positions long ago. The sole reason Owen hadn''t made it? He didn''t tter his


    superiors.


    "Liam," began Owen, "right after Gabriel gave you an injection, it looked like you were gone for


    good. In fact, Gabriel had already dered you dead. Indeed, it was that man with what seemed to


    be a grimy, dirty needle who saved your life."


    Owen''s words shocked everyone. Gabriel jumped up like a stepped-on tail, pointing at Owen and


    demanding loudly, "Who are you? How did you worm your way into the county hospital? What are


    you babbling about here?"


    Owen justughed coldly in the face of Gabriel''s interrogation. "Ha," was all he let out. Then, with


    an indifferent air, he said, "Of course you don''t know who I am, Gabriel. After all, I never gave you a


    bribe. So naturally, my name never appears on the list of promoted interns. No surprise that you


    don''t recognize me."


    "What bribery? Stop ndering me with your wild ims!" Gabriel snapped back sharply.


    "I get it now! You''re in cahoots with this fraudster, trying to frame me in front of Liam?" Gabriel said,


    trying to turn the tables.


    It was then that Liam stood up and spoke, "Whether what this intern doctor says is true will be clear


    after an investigation. Gabriel, if you are innocent, the investigation will prove that. And if you''re not,


    you''ll receive the punishment you deserve."

    After addressing Gabriel, Liam turned to Daniel and said sincerely, "Thank you, Doctor."


    "No need to call me ''Doctor.'' My name is Daniel Perkins. Just ''Daniel'' will do."


    At that moment, Brittany stepped forward, questioning Liam directly, "Are you a good legitor?"


    "Miss, what do you mean by that?" Liam asked, puzzled.


    "I mean nothing by it. If you''re not a good legitor, then consider it as if my country bumpkin just


    saved a dog''s life. But if you are, then you might want to take a trip to Greenfield," Brittany said


    firmly, her tone not in the least subservient.


    After all, Greenfield was part of River County, and the sorry state it was in had been ignored for


    many years. Even if the problems of Greenfield were not Liam''s fault directly, it was his negligence


    nheless.
