Chapter 511
"No, Mrs. Zhou, I... " Daphne Tao wanted to exin.
But Mrs. Zhou blocked the ward door with four or five apanying rtives and shouted at
Daphne, "No? If someone hadn''t called to inform me, I wouldn''t have known that my son was in
danger at the hospital. How do you even fulfill your duties as an attending doctor?"
Daphne bowed to Mrs. Zhou apologetically and said, "Mrs. Zhou, we do bear responsibilities on
Zeke''s matter. I''ve just got to know of the news, and we''re currently investigating the situation. Don''t
worry, Zeke is no longer in danger. We will make sure to cure him."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou''s expression tightened and she said, "What do you mean there''s no
danger? My son''s minor illness has now turned grave after you''ve treated him. And you''re saying it''s
not a dangerous situation?"
The aunts around also joined her and started using Daphne.
"That''s right. I really don''t know how someone
like you became a doctor!"
"It''s so shameful to have someone this irresponsible treating patients here."
"You have to be responsible for Zeke''s matter."
Daphne bowed repeatedly and apologized, saying, "Everyone, I admit that Zeke''s matter was our
fault, but I would never shirk from my responsibilities. I promise to take full responsibility once the
situation has been cleared up. However, the most important thing now is to treat Zeke. The toxins in
his body have not beenpletely cleared, we have to -"
"Toxins? What toxin? Do you mean that my son is poisoned? Didn''t he just have rashes on his
body?" Mrs. Zhou was shocked, and her expression changed greatly. She grabbed Daphne tightly.
The rtives around her also started to speak out in confusion.
"Wasn''t it just gastritis that led to him vomiting? How did it be toxins?"
"As a doctor, is this the way you treat your patients? It''s way more serious than we thought. Zeke
was even poisoned."
"You''d better give us an exnation for this matter." "Zeke is the only heir of the Zhou family for the
third consecutive generation. He has to be safe at all costs. If something goes wrong, can you bear
the responsibility?"
In a chaos, Daphne was shoved back and forth like an old rag doll that was fought over by a group
of children.
Fade couldn''t stand it anymore and said, "Zeke''s current condition was because someone
maliciously poisoned him and has nothing to do with Dr. Tao. Now, Dr. Tao is trying her best to treat
Zeke. If you continue to dy her time, you''re wasting the precious time used to save Zeke too."

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily dumbfounded before once again erupting into questions.
"What do you mean by poisoned? Zeke is in the hospital. How could someone poison him?"
"Save Zeke? Does that mean he is still in danger?"
"Ah, what kind of hospital and doctors are like this? Zeke was just having gastritis and now he''s
poisoned? You all must take responsibility for it."
Daphne apologized again, "I will definitely take responsibility. But right now, we have to figure out
the situation and find out who poisoned Zeke, then cure him. Everything else cer."
With this, Daphne wanted to leave the ward.
Mrs. Zhou and her rtives paused for a moment. Among them, someone suddenly said, "Who
knows whether you''re telling the truth or not? How could Zeke be poisoned for no reason? Besides,
why should we believe you? Who knows if you''re trying to dodge your responsibility and find a
scapegoat?"
As soon as the person said that, the ward immediately burst into an uproar.
"That''s right. I suspect that it was you doctors who made the mistake. You guys are probably trying
to avoid taking responsibility by iming that he was poisoned."
"Yes, we can''t let her go. Maybe she''s in a hurry to destroy the evidence. Stop her."
"Catch her and bring her over. If she doesn''t make it clear about Zeke''s poisoning, she mustn''t be
allowed to leave."
All of a sudden, they grabbed Daphne and pulled her back. Then, as if they were interrogating her,
they shouted, "Tell us, what’s going on?"
"Mrs. Zhou, I really didn''t. I''m just..."
Daphne wanted to defend herself, but these people were not giving her any chance to exin. They
shouted noisily at her, some even attempting to undress her. They shouted, "Take off her clothes
and do a body search. Let''s see if she hid away the evidence!"
"Yes, take off her clothes. Rip them all off. She won''t be able to hide anything on her."
In an instant, they began tearing Daphne''s clothes apart, but she stopped them in a hurry.
However, against this group of angry and irrational middle-aged women, Daphne didn''t even stand
a chance.
In no time, her coat was torn open messily. Two of the buttons of her shirt were also ripped off,
revealing some of her skin and undergarments inside. Her hair was messy, and the ck- framed
spectacles she was wearing were knocked off. There were even several red marks on Daphne''s
face and neck. Clearly, someone had taken advantage of the situation to beat her up.
Faced with such a chaotic situation, Fade''s eyes narrowed and he gave a loud bellow before
rushing over to Daphne''s side, "All of you, stop."
His loud warning contained a touch of his internal energy, which shocked these women and made
them stop in their tracks.
Then, Fade pulled Daphne back and held her in his arms. He quickly pulled over a white coat and
draped it over her.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhou and the others, who were temporarily shocked, came back to their
senses and stared at them fiercely.
"How dare you shout at us! You murderers!"
"If you''re helping her, you must be the aplice."
"You both must be responsible for Zeke''s matter."
"Get your principal here this moment. You must provide us with an exnation regarding this
matter. Otherwise, we won''t hesitate to rain down hell even if it''s thest thing we do."
Daphne, who was in Fade''s arms, straightened her messy hair and wiped away the tears from the
corner of her eyes. She once again said to Mrs. Zhou and others, "Mrs. Zhou, we are in charge of
this, and we will certainly take responsibility for it. But right now, Zeke''s condition is more important.
We are in a race against time to treat him!"
Although their attitude was horrible, the poisoning of Zeke Zhou had indeed happened in the ward
under her management. Thus, Daphne felt very remorseful and couldn''t bear any resentment
towards them.
However, Mrs. Zhou and others did not buy her words and refused to give in. Instead, they directly
approached Daphne and Fade and started shouting at them one by one.
"Trying to leave? Think again!"
"No one will leave before figuring out who is responsible for this matter."
"Bring the head of your hospital over, as well as all the reporters and the police. I want you to reveal
your ugly manner in front of everyone."
Hearing this, Fade could not help frowning. They''d made it clear that Zeke was in a critical situation,
but these people did not even bother to visit him or let them treat him properly. Instead, they were
stirring up trouble here. Looking at their indifferent attitudes, those who didn''t know would never
believe that they were Zeke''s rtives.
Just as this thought came to his mind, Zeke, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly coughed
and woke up. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it all over the sheets.
