“Bang!”
Jason’s mouth dropped open, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
The nurse beside him was also dumbfounded, wearing an expression of disbelief.
How could this be? How did she suddenlye back to life?
Was it a hoax?
“Daddy… is that you?”
“Daddy, don’t leave!”
At that moment, Nora groggily opened her eyes.
L’s departure to raise money had clearly left the little girl feeling uneasy.
All she wanted was for her father to be by her side during her final moments.
“Nora, you’re really awake!”
“Daddy is here. Daddy will stay with Nora and won’t go anywhere.”
Tears streamed down L’s face as he cried tears of joy and poured his warmth into Nora’s body even more recklessly than before.
She woke up!
It actually worked. Nora really came back to life.
L was trembling with excitement, feeling like he had gone from hell to heaven. The sensation was so overwhelming that even a grown man like him couldn’t help but cry.
He held Nora’s small hand tightly, as if he had grabbed hold of the entire world. He was afraid that if he let go, it would all turn out to be an illusion.
No one could understand the joy and anxiety of regaining something they had lost until they experienced it themselves.
“Daddy, your hand is so warm andfortable!”
“Why are you crying, Daddy? Don’t cry, I don’t want you to cry.”
Nora’s pale face turned red as she reached out her other small hand and wiped L’s face.
“Okay, I won’t cry anymore. I’m very happy!”
“Hahaha! You’re okay now! My Nora is alive again!”
Feeling the clumsy touch on his face from that little hand made L feel more grounded than ever before. Heughed and cried at the same time like a nervous wreck.
“Daddy, I want to go home.”
The little girl didn’t know what had happened; she just didn’t want her dad to spend any more money on her medical bills.
“Okay, I will take you home.”
L hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. He removed all the tubes attached to Nora’s body and picked up his daughter in his arms ready to leave.
“Hold on there! You still haven’t paid your medical bill yet; you can’t leave!” Jason stood in front of L.
“How much money?” L asked coldly.
“38. 88 thousand dors!” Jason said, taking out a list.
“What? How is it possible that there are so many?”
L’s face darkened as he took the list and asked.
“Nonsense, do you think ICU lets you stay for free? Do special medicines not cost money?” Jason sneered.
“Why are there still special medicines being used on the prescription? Didn’t you stop my daughter’s medication because I owed fees?”
L saw through the trick in the list and angrily questioned it.
“Oh, I made a mistake just now. Your daughter’s special medicine didn’t stop today! Hurry up and pay, if I hadn’t given your daughter the medicine, could she have survived?”
Jason’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he shamelessly boasted.
“What is this progesterone injection? You deceitful doctor, trying to confuse me because I can’t understand?”
L grabbed Jason’s cor angrily, wishing he could kill that bastard right then and there.
Progesterone injection is generally used to prevent miscarriage in pregnant women or to treat menstrual disorders.
Nora was only five years old, how could she possibly need this?
This heartless doctor not only refused to save lives but also prescribed expensive medicine that swindled patients.
It was really pushing people towards a dead end!
“Let go, what do you want to do? I advise you to pay up obediently. Do you want to y rough? Don’t you know about my influence in Ednd?” Jason threatened arrogantly.
Even after being exposed, Jason remained unfazed and continued his haughty warning.
“Hmph, I’d like to see how much influence you really have. Dare to be so reckless?” Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Miranda walked in with an angry expression on her pretty face that made her look even colder than usual.
She didn’t want toe in originally; L and his daughter had already experienced enough separation and death. Miranda didn’t want any part of it.
But now she couldn’t stand by any longer.
“Hmm? Who is she? Your wife?” Jason asked with a sneer when he saw Miranda’s angry expression. He thought she was L’s wife since no one had seen the mother of the child since Nora was admitted into ICU. He never expected her to be such a beautiful woman?
“My friend,” L hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Friend? Hmph, I don’t care what your rtionship is. Hand over the money now or no one’s leaving. You dare cause trouble in the hospital, I’ll call the cops on you!” Jason threatened.
“Such arrogance. I’ll ask your president how a hospital can have scum like you,” Miranda said coldly as she pulled out her phone.
Upon hearing this, Jason sneered, “Oh? Are you going to call the president?”
Although Miranda had an air of elegance and didn’t seem like an ordinary person, Jason didn’t take her seriously either.
If she was friends with someone like L who was broke and couldn’t even afford to keep his kidney, how important could she be?
Miranda wasted no time and dialed a number, “Mr. Davidson? This is Miranda. I’m in pediatric intensive care unit room 3. Can youe over?”
“Oh wow, sounds serious. Do you have the president’s number? Did he answer?” Jason mocked.
Miranda just sneered back at him and stood there coldly without saying another word.
In no time, the door to the room swung open, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked in.
“Mr. … Mr. Davidson?”
Upon seeing the neer, Jason’splexion changed instantly. He hadn’t anticipated that L’s friend could just make a call and have Sean Davidson, the hospital’s president, actuallye over.
“Ms. Lowe, what are you doing here? This is…” Sean asked Miranda politely but with suspicion.
Seeing Sean’s attitude, Jason felt a knot in his stomach and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn’t expect that Miranda actually knew Sean, and the way he was acting gave Jason an ominous feeling.
“Tell Mr. Davidson what happened. I believe he will give you justice,” Miranda signaled to L.
Knowing what wasing next, Jason looked at him pleadingly.
Without even looking at him, L handed the bill to Sean and said, “This is the detailed list of charges given to me by Dr. Saunders. From the time I owed money until now, it has been less than two days but it cost over 30 thousand dors.”
“My daughter is only five years old and has leukemia of bone marrow cells; however, there are drugs for abortion and high blood pressure on this bill – we’re just missing birth control pills! And also 24-hour dosages that amount to ten kilograms? Even if it were for an elephant’s IV drip, it would be too much!”
After listening to all this, Sean’s face changed several times before pping Jason across the face with his hand.
“Jason! You’ve done a great job! You’re such a disgraceful person who has brought shame upon our hospital! From now on you’re fired!”
Hearing this news left Jasonpletely stunned as he begged, “Mr. Davidson, please don’t do this! I did make some mistakes but I promise not to do them again – give me another chance!”
“Mistakes? Is that what you call them? What you did was fraud – ying with people’s lives!” shouted an angry Sean.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
At that moment, Miranda let out a dissatisfied hum and said, “Just firing him? I think we should hand this over tow enforcement for a thorough investigation! If it is not avable for you, Mr. Davidson, I can have someone from mypany’s legal department follow up!”
“Yes, yes! Ms. Lowe, you’re right. We need to investigate thoroughly when ites to these pests in the hospital. Don’t worry, I guarantee that we will handle this matter seriously!”
“I’ll call the Bureau of Enforcement right now!”
Upon hearing this, Sean shuddered and quickly said so.
Originally he wanted to protect Jason but after hearing what was said he immediately changed his mind.
He couldn’t afford to offend the Lowe family. Miranda wanted to take down Jason and there was no way he could protect him.
Plop!
Jason copsed like mud on the ground and cried out pleadingly, “Mr. Davidson please don’t do this! Ms. Lowe, I was wrong. I won’t do it again!”
“Mr. Willis! Mr. Willis please have mercy on me. Please let me go!”
In the end, this corrupt doctor crawled at L’s feet with snot and tears begging for mercy.
He knew that if all of his shady dealings were exposed, he would be lucky if he only got ten or eight years in prison.
This life of his was over!
L snorted coldly and kicked Jason away with one foot.
“Mercy? Have you ever shown any mercy towards those patients and their families who were ruined by you?”
“You’ve been too despicable as a human being so now karma hase knocking at your door.”
