Chapter 19 – Chapter 16: Can anyone bully his people casually?
She always felt that Diana Thompson’s reaction was not quite like a simple nervous breakdown.
And the way she looked at herself then was serious to the point of being terrifying.
It felt like she was looking through herself and seeing someone else?
Richelle Dunn thought it was creepy!
But she had always been an atheist, and at present, she could not find any other possibilities, perhaps it was indeed a nervous breakdown!
After all, there are countless strange diseases in the world, and the same disease may not necessarily have the same manifestations or symptoms.
Moreover, she was not a mental health expert, and the specifics would require a specialist to diagnose and make a verdict.
…
Roy Lewis went to the hospital to visit Diana Thompson in the evening. He had heard about Diana Thompson’s apparent insanity over the phone from Mr. Chapman.
When he arrived at the hospital, Edbert Lewis and his father James Lewis were still in the director’s office. From a distance, he heard his uncle James sternly questioning Mr. Chapman.
“Mr. Chapman, are you tired of living? You find such a handsome doctor who only has good looks for my wife as the chief surgeon? Do you think, with Roy supporting you, you can bully us to your heart’s content?”
“Dad, why waste time talking to him? My mom was fine when she came to the hospital, and now they say she’s insane! I think you’re the fucking crazy one here!”
Roy Lewis walked up to the director’s door without knocking and pushed it open.
“Uncle, it’s one thing for Edbert to be brainless, but you too, after all these years, join him in making a scene?”
Upon seeing Roy, James Lewis paused for a moment, but quickly slapped the table and cursed Mr. Chapman.
“It’s this damn director who wants to die! My wife was fine when she came in, and now she’s a waste and a lunatic!”
Mr. Chapman was sweating from the scolding, wiping sweat while winking at Roy for help.
Roy Lewis sat down on the sofa, expressionless as he looked at James Lewis.
“Uncle, you said Diana was fine when she came in. Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you hear it from Edbert?”
This uncle of Roy’s had numerous wives and mistresses outside his home, and it had been over a day since his wife had been in the car accident, yet he had only just shown up at the hospital.
James Lewis turned to look at his son. Before the father and son could communicate, Roy nodded to Mr. Chapman, “Mr. Chapman, show him the surveillance footage of his wife being admitted!”
Mr. Chapman quickly pulled up the relevant video. They have dealt with too many medical disputes from patients’ families over the years, so for such cases of severe injuries, they have been recording almost every part of the treatment process.
James Lewis and Edbert approached the screen, and within ten seconds or so, both their faces turned ashen from the gruesome scene they saw. A few seconds later, father and son covered their mouths and ran to the restroom to vomit into the toilet.
Roy Lewis watched with cold eyes as the father and son came out with pale faces, then asked indifferently.
“Since you both don’t appreciate Mr. Chapman, why not have Diana transferred to another hospital?”
This hospital was the largest chain hospital in the Federation, with the best and most advanced equipment and the highest level of doctors. The hospital was owned by The Greens, and after Kennedy Green entered politics, he left it to Roy Lewis to manage.
James Lewis glared angrily at Mr. Chapman, but softened his tone when he turned to Roy.
“Let’s not transfer… Diana’s condition is critical, and a transfer could lead to unforeseen accidents, right?”
James Lewis wanted to save face for himself, but Roy Lewis wouldn’t let him off the hook.
“No transfer? Have you thought it through? Here, all we have are ‘handsome doctors,’ and with Diana here, aren’t you afraid of any accidents?”
Roy had indeed not had the best impression of Dr. Dunn, but it was a personal matter and didn’t mean others could casually slander her.
James Lewis’s face turned from green to white, but in the end, he gave in.
“Well… let’s not transfer. There are good doctors here.”
Roy Lewis smiled, “Thank you for your approval, Uncle.”
James Lewis shuddered at his smile, knowing very well that this nephew of his was vastly different from his worthless son. Roy rarely showed his emotions, and even though he was smiling now, who knew what he might be thinking inside? Maybe he was plotting something against them!
“Edbert, let’s go. Let’s not disturb your brother Roy and Mr. Chapman anymore.”
James Lewis, having gained no advantage, tried to slink away with his tail between his legs.
However, Roy Lewis suddenly spoke when the two were about to leave.
“Wait a minute!”
James Lewis turned around, “What else?”
Roy Lewis pointed at Edbert beside him, his face expressionless.
“Dr. Dunn is an expert invited by our hospital. Yesterday, Edbert hurt her, so please give her some compensation for medical expenses.”
These two must have had some gall, after all, his personal doctor was practically his own person!
Were Roy Lewis’s people theirs to casually manhandle and bully as they pleased?
James Lewis glared viciously at his son and gritted his teeth.
“Alright, how much?”
Roy Lewis held up his index finger, James Lewis switched from worry to delight, asking.
“One hundred?”
Roy Lewis laughed, “Since Uncle is so generous, alright, just US$ 136,700!”
It wasn’t easy for Richelle to raise two children, and the house she lived in was shabby and old, looking quite miserable.
This US$ 136,700 might not be much, but it was enough to marginally improve her life!
