Chapter 112 The Most Terrible Thing Was The Human Heart
“Impossible!” Paul’s hand, which was grasping the girl, was obviously shaking. He staggered a few steps back. “It’s impossible. You are bullsh*tting. My mother was so kind to Flora.”
“That’s only what you saw,” Christopher’s face was cold and almost frightening. “Did you know that your mother forced your wife to undergo surgery to give up the baby three times before your wife passed away? Just because she found out that the child wasn’t a boy in a private clinic.”
“Im-Impossible!”
Paul could not accept the reality for a moment when he heard Christopher’s words. He pointed the knife at him and yelled, “You’re talking nonsense. It’s impossible. You’re slandering me. You just want to deny the hospital’s responsibility.”
Although Paul insisted that it was the hospital’s responsibility, it was obvious that he had connected Christopher’s words with some reality. Thinking carefully about what happened, he was scared.
Just when Paul was in a panic, in the crowd not far behind him, a figure snuck out quietly, slowly approaching his back. She clasped his neck in a lightning-fast manner and bent her knee toward the man’s legs fiercely at the same time.
Paul was in pain.
With a bang, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and Loraine was also thrown to the side. She fell to the ground and coughed violently, her face pale with fear.
Everleigh used almost all of her strength to hold the man’s neck. Under everyone’s gaze, she threw the man on the ground and pressed him against it firmly. Her elbow was still tightly locked around his neck, and her knees were pressed against his waist.
“Christopher, come and help!” Everleigh shouted. Christopher ran over immediately and took the knife away. The security guards also rushed in; some tied Paul up and some maintained the order.
Such situations were not uncommon in the hospital. The patients were restored to the order they just had quickly. They went back to their queue and some went to get their medicine.
Everleigh stretched her wrists that were over-exerted. Jenny gave her a thumbs up and said, “Dr. Trevino, you are so cool. How are you so brave?”
“What else? She doesn’t care about her life.” Christopher crossed his arm calmly, “It was the same when she was abroad. In the end, if there was a medical dispute, the security guards directly asked for her. With her lousy skills, if she really encountered a man with real martial arts someday, she wouldn’t even know how she died.”
Jenny hated Christopher’s style the most. She immediately huffed, “Dr. Meyer, don’t make sarcastic remarks. You didn’t do anything in the situation just now. If Dr. Trevino didn’t take action, who would go save the child?”
“That’s enough, Jenny.” Everleigh didn’t speak initially. As soon as the crowd dispersed, she wanted to keep a low profile and leave. When she heard Jenny’s words, she reluctantly said, “Dr. Meyer is better at communicating with others. This is also a solution that we have discussed since we were partners.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course. Didn’t you just see it? Dr. Meyer has been telling the drunkard about his wife and daughter. How could it be fake?”
Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, “I was scared to death just now. At that time, Dr. Meyer didn’t appease the patient but provoked him instead.”
“It’s not the same,” Everleigh wiped her hands with a bland look. “Paul is a frequent visitor to the hospital. In the past five years, he would come to the hospital to make trouble on this day. This time, it’s more serious.”
“Dr. Trevino, how long have you been in the hospital? Why do you know about this?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Facing Jenny’s amazement, Everleigh and Christopher just looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
No matter how one put it, they were the best partners. Even the instructor of the foreign medical college said that they were rare partners who had a tacit understanding of each other. Whether in the field of investigating or taking measures, their methods were almost 99% similar.
Before returning to the country, Everleigh investigated a detailed report on the hospital, including the number of workers, the character of her colleagues, as well as the special medical cases of the hospital.
Everleigh did it and so did Christopher.
Jenny was new to the hospital. Five years ago, she was not working there yet, thus she was not clear about the specific situation of that patient.
On the way out, Everleigh talked to Jenny about this matter. “Paul is the driver of a big company. He married his wife, Flora, eight years ago. His mother had always wanted them to have a son. Flora also got pregnant soon after the marriage…”
At that time, Paul and Flora were both struggling to climb the corporate ladders and they decided to only have one child.
His mother wanted a grandson whole-heartedly, thus she secretly took her daughter-in-law to a private clinic for a check-up. In the end, she found out that it was a girl, thus she forced Flora to give up the baby secretly.
This happened twice. Later, Flora came to the hospital for a check-up about infertility.
Everleigh said, “She did the surgery too many times, and her uterus membrane became too thin. It was not convenient for pregnancy, and even if she was pregnant, it was difficult to keep the baby.”
Jenny frowned. “The old woman is too vicious, isn’t she?”
“There are countless cases like this. Haven’t you seen any?” Everleigh said that she was not surprised, but she also breathed a sigh, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Later, it wasn’t easy for Flora to get pregnant again. Perhaps there was something wrong with the clinic’s instruments or something else, but she found out that it was still a girl. This time, with the doctor’s warning, Flora refused to do the surgery.
In this way, she continued her pregnancy at home until it was close to her delivery date.
Jenny asked, “Then why did she have a premature delivery?”
Everleigh shook her head, “There was no specific record on the medical record. It is only suspected of a blunt weapon attack.”
There were some things that couldn’t be thought of in detail. After thinking about it thoroughly, she felt that the most horrible thing in the world was the human heart and no other.
That day, Flora was sent to the Emergency Department overnight, accompanied by only the taxi driver and Madison, who was Paul’s mother.
“Where was Paul that night?”
“His company dinner. He was going to pick up the leader that night.”
When Paul arrived at the hospital, Flora had already been sent to the morgue, and Madison had fainted in the Emergency Department. As soon as she woke up, she swore at the doctors, saying that the hospital killed her daughter-in-law.
Paul’s wife was a good-natured woman. She was considerate, gentle, and meticulous. She and Paul lived their days in love during their marriage years. Her death gave Paul a fatal blow.
Later, after his wife passed away, Paul was dismissed from the company in an accident of drunk driving.
His home had collapsed and his work was gone. He could only rely on working odd jobs for a living. On his wife’s death anniversary every year, he would take the opportunity to make trouble at the hospital. He would be in such a muddle-headed state for the rest of his life.
“Why didn’t the leaders of the hospital explain?”
“Explain?” Everleigh sounded a little helpless. “Is it necessary? Do you think that Paul really doesn’t know anything?”
