Chapter 514


    At the mention of this, Mrs. Zhou''s eyes reddened and she could not help but weep in sorrow.


    Fade remained unmoved and shouted coldly, "What did you two talk about?"


    Mrs. Zhou revealed slowly, "We, we talked about how the person wanted to use my son against the


    hospital. He wanted to ruin the hospital''s reputation and his target was none other than Dr. Tao."


    Daphne was startled and did not expect this to be rted to herself.


    Mrs. Zhou continued, "He said that his n was to make Zeke''s condition worsen. As such, Dr. Tao


    would have to take responsibility, and the hospital would need to pay arge sum ofpensation


    at the same time."


    "When I heard that Zeke''s condition would worsen, I was very worried and immediately refused him.


    I wanted to leave, but the man grabbed me and said that my son''s deteriorating condition would


    only be superficial, and Zeke would be fine."


    "I didn''t believe him. However, he showed his


    own medical license and immediately gave me a sum of money. He even performed an experiment


    and showed it to me. So, I believed him and promised to carry out the n."


    Hearing this, everyone''s eyes widened in disbelief. Even Zeke, who was lying in the hospital bed,


    looked at his mother in shock and betrayal. "Mom, how could you -"


    Mrs. Zhou tried to exin herself, "Zeke, I was blinded for a moment. You know too, your father has


    not been given a raise in so many years. I don''t have a job, and our family''s financial status is


    nothing close to the prosperity of what''s being disyed. So, I, I -"


    Halfway through her words, she could not continue anymore and burst into tears.


    Seeing this, Fade helped her sum up her sentence, "So, you agreed to the man''s request and


    cooperated with him to poison Zeke. After the incident, you immediately brought people to guilt-trip


    Dr. Tao to fulfill his request and put the me on her and the hospital. This was the reason why you


    were never worried about your son''s condition from the beginning, right?"


    Mrs. Zhou continued to sob. Finally, she nodded and said, "Yes, you''re right. Now, can you save my


    son?"


    "Not yet!" Fade shook his head and asked, "There is onest question. Who was the person who


    poisoned him?"


    Mrs. Zhou paused for a moment, hesitating before she revealed, "He showed me his certificate,


    saying that he used to be a doctor in the City Medical Center. His name was Fabian Lin."


    Upon hearing her words, everyone in the hospital was taken aback.


    Daphne did not expect that Fabian still harbored a grudge against her after he was fired due to


    Chief Zheng''s matterst time. Not to mention, he even came up with such an borate n to


    frame her and take revenge.


    The principal and other executive leaders were also shocked. The former Principal Lin was


    dismissed by Chief Zheng because of his special rtionship with Fabian. However, now that


    Fabian was still trying to cause trouble at the hospital, they wouldn''t sit still and allow him to do so.


    Silence hung in the ward for some time, disrupted only by Zeke''s coughing as he spat out another


    mouthful of blood.


    Mrs. Zhou was horrified when she saw this. She quickly said, "Hurry up and save my son. Please,


    hurry up!"


    Fade did not say anything more. He said a few words to Daphne, who then walked to the side of the


    bed, grabbed Zeke''s wrist and began to treat him.


    Quickly, Fade managed to stabilize his condition while Daphne brought the corresponding


    medicines over. After injecting it into Zeke, his condition obviously improved. Hisplexion looked


    better, and all his vital signs gradually returned to normal as he fell asleep.


    Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou and the others let out a sigh of relief.


    At this time, they looked at Fade and Daphne again. Their eyes flickered with guilt and they did not


    know what to say. After all, Mrs. Zhou was the one who decided to bet her son''s life for riches


    without properly considering the risks. She was the one who almost caused a tragedy to happen.


    Seeing that they were restless, Daphne was ready to say a fewforting words. After all, the


    patient''s condition was what mattered the most.


    However, just as Daphne took a step towards them, a heavy tter of footsteps were heard along


    with a loud usation, "What have you done to my son? Your hospital must be responsible for


    this!"


    Upon hearing those words, everyone turned to see a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walk in


    with a serious face.


    As soon as the man entered the ward, he looked around and his gaze soonnded on Daphne. He


    bellowed, "You must be Dr. Tao. I''m Zeke''s father. I heard that Zeke''s condition has suddenly


    deteriorated, how did you even treat him? You''d better be responsible for this!"


    Daphne was dumbfounded for a moment, then she stepped forward to exin, "Mr. Zhou, it''s not


    like this, I -"


    "Still looking for an excuse, eh!" Mr. Zhou swung his hand to p her.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Daphne was so frightened that she squealed, she didn''t have the time to dodge his blow.


    Seeing how Mr. Zhou was about to p her, Fade snorted and grabbed him with his right hand. He


    immediately twisted his arm urately, stopping his movement effectively.


    With a loud crack, Mr. Zhou''s right arm was twisted into an unusual and ugly angle and it dangled


    by his side uselessly. His face contorted in pain as he cried out, "Ouch! It hurts, it hurts. Let go of


    me!"


    Fade sneered and shoved Mr. Zhou away roughly, only then freeing him from his grasp.


    "Do you even know who I am? How dare you do this to me - " Mr. Zhou was furious. He pointed at


    Fade and was about to scold him.


    But at this time, Mrs. Zhou hurried over, grabbed Mr. Zhou''s arm and whispered something into his


    ear.


    Hearing this, Mr. Zhou''s expression could not help but change. He hurriedly looked at his son on the


    hospital bed. Seeing as his son was fine, he heaved in relief and his face rxed. At that thought,


    his eyes gleamed as though he had a plot in mind.


    Everyone knew what they were talking about even if they did not hear the contents. It was nothing


    more than Mrs. Zhou telling him about how their n to ckmail and ruin the hospital''s reputation


    was ruined.


    At the thought of the couple risking their son''s life for the sake of money and power, everyone


    looked at them in disgust and contempt.


    Fade and Daphne did not want to spend anymore time around people like them. They snorted and


    turned around to leave.


    But just as they were leaving, Mr. Zhou suddenly said, "Stop right there, who allowed you both to


    leave?"


    Fade frowned. He turned around to look at Mr. Zhou with an eyebrow raised.


    Daphne frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you still have a problem?"


    "A problem?" Mr. Zhou snorted and imed, "My son was admitted to your hospital, but he was


    poisoned and almost lost his life. What do you think the problem is here?"


    "Mr. Zhou, you -" Daphne gawked in disbelief. Who could expect that he would bring this matter up


    again!


    Mrs. Zhou quickly pulled Mr. Zhou''s arm to remind him in a low voice, "They all know that we''ve


    been exposed. Right now, Zeke''s health is of utmost importance."


    However, Mr. Zhou did not take it seriously. Instead, he retorted sharply, "So what if they know? Do


    they have any evidence? Besides, Zeke was poisoned in their hospital, so they must bear the


    responsibilities of inadequate supervision. No matter what they do, they can''t escape this im


    anyways."
