Chapter 44


    “It’s none of your business!” Mackenzie snapped before


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    walking off.


    “Haha, see you next time, Ms. Quillen!”


    Despite Mackenzie’s arrogance, Joel had no choice but


    to maintain a cordial smile.


    After all, the Quillen family wasn’t one he could afford


    to offend.


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel hadid Alessandra down on


    the bed of a single ward. After that, he massaged her


    acupoints to alleviate the pain.


    Soon, a doctor who specialized in internal medicine


    arrived.


    His name was Darren Chase and was acquainted with


    Emmanuel.


    The sight of Emmanuel treating his mother elicited a


    furrowed brow from Darren. As a doctor of modern


    medicine, he wasn’t familiar with traditional medicine.


    In spite of his disdain for gynecologists like Emmanuel,


    he maintained a polite smile on his face. “Dr. Lowe, why


    did you bring the patient here when you know how to treat her yourself? It’s not like you’re unaware of


    how


    busy the hospital is.”


    Turning around, Emmanuel anxiously exined, “The condition of my mom’s kidney is really bad, not


    to


    mention that she only has one left that’s functioning. I


    decided to bring her here since she needs modern


    medicine to reduce the inmmation and


    round–the–clock care.”


    Even though Emmanuel was trained in traditional


    medicine, he wasn’t averse to modern medicine.


    Instead, he was someone who believed in the


    effectiveness ofbining the two.


    When it came to inmed kidneys, the injection


    techniques of modern medicine were more efficient


    and effective than relying on the herbs of traditional


    medicine.


    “In that case,e with me andplete the


    admission paperwork on your mother’s behalf.”


    “Sure.”


    Emmanuel instructed the nurse to hook Alessandra up


    to a drip before heading out with Darren.


    When he returned, he was surprised to see his mom


    3/3


    standing outside alone with the mobile drip stand.


    “Mom, what’s going on? Why are you standing


    outside?”


    Surprised and feeling bad for her, Emmanuel hurried to


    her side.


    Bearing the pain in her kidney, Alessandra gave him a


    helpless look. “A hospital staff came in to inform me


    that the ward has been reserved by someone else and


    kicked me out of it. On top of that, they’re unable to


    find a room for me!”


    Emmanuel’s brows knitted in response. Throughout the


    two years he worked in the hospital, such a situation


    was a rare urrence.


    Thereafter, he went to see the nurse in charge of the


    wards.


    “Dr. Lowe, the wards are allocated by the attending


    physicians. Dr. Chase has assigned it to someone else,”


    the nurse exined.


    Emmanuel was outraged by the answer.


    He could clearly remember that the hospital didn’t


    have a policy for reserving wards. Moreover, his mother


    had clearlye first with Darren’s knowledge.


    Therefore, he wondered how the room was allocated


    to someone else right when he went toplete the


    paperwork.


    Consequently, when Emmanuel requested to see


    Darren, thetter found an excuse not toe.


    At that moment, two burly men in suits who looked like bodyguards emerged from the ward.


    “Haha, Mr. Chambein has reserved this ward, so stop


    causing trouble here and move along!”


    “That’s right. You can’t afford to bear the


    consequences of interrupting his rest.”


    In a fit of rage, Emmanuel barged into the ward. Upon


    reading the man’s medical file, he was further


    infuriated.


    This so–called Joel Chambein is only suffering from an inmed prostate which can easily be cured


    by


    medication. There’s no need for him to be hospitalized, yet he insists on taking over Mom’s room. This


    is


    outrageous!


    “Hey, kid, who are you? What are you doing?” Joel


    questioned in an intimidating voice when he saw


    Emmanuel.


    Suppressing his fury, Emmanuel replied politely, “Mr.


    Chambein, your condition doesn’t require any


    hospitalization. On top of that, my mom came here


    first. Can you let her have the ward back? Thank you.”


    Joel was momentarily stunned before guffawing out


    loud. “Is this a joke? Who the hell are you? Why should I


    give you the room?”


    I arranged to be hospitalized on purpose so that I can


    enjoy thepany’s medical benefits. Getting paid for


    doing nothing just feels great!


    As his fingers balled into fists, Emmanuel couldn’t


    Meanwhile, a loud crash was heard outside the ward,


    followed by amotion.


    With no time to argue any further with Joel, Emmanuel


    rushed out of the ward to be greeted by the sight of


    Alessandra grimacing on the floor.


    “Mom! Mom!”
