Chapter 443
"Chase this quack doctor out as well!"
Bill eagerly got to his feet and prepared to throw Luna out when he heard Wilson calling for a nurse to send Harold away.
Harold was furious when he caught sight of Bill attempting to shove Luna. He immediately stood before her and grabbed Bill's hand before he could touch the woman.
It took Harold barely any effort to push the seemingly buff Bill, causing him to lose his balance and stumble backward clumsily.
Harold took advantage of that moment of distraction to approach Wilhelm's bed and remove his ventilator.
His actions shocked everyone.
Harold ignored them and proceeded to stuff the medicine he got from the pharmacy into Wilhelm's mouth. He then gently tapped Wilhelm's mouth, prompting him to swallow the medicine without even requiring a drop of water to wash them down his throat.
Those two types of medication were the best ones available in the market to eradicate the parasite.
Harold could very well concoct his own medication, but time was not on his side.
As such, ready-made drugs from the pharmacy were the more convenient option.
Wilhelm began experiencing breathing difficulties after the ventilator was removed as the medication took time to take effect.
His incessant wracking coughs made him look like he was having a seizure.
It was a horrifying sight indeed.
Harold hastily helped Wilhelm put the oxygen mask back on. Only then did his condition stabilize.
Harold's movements were so smooth and swift that everyone barely had time to react to what had happened.
By the time they regained their senses, Wilhelm was already breathing through his oxygen mask.
"What are you doing? What was it that you were feeding him?"
Bill was the first to come to his senses when he noted that Harold had just given his dad unknown medication without permission from him or any of the medical professionals present.
He was so enraged that he stormed toward Harold and grabbed his collar accusingly.
Wilson, Johnny, and the others in the ward were equally alarmed.
"Security, subdue these two men! If anything happens to Old Mr. Condle, bring them to the police station immediately!" Wilson barked out orders to the security guards stationed outside the door.
He'd stationed two security guards on that floor just in case, for Wilhelm had a large group of visitors who were all high-profile individuals.
The big shots frowned in dismay.
No one had foreseen such a thing happening.
Harold gave up trying to explain himself as he knew that everyone was convinced he had a screw loose and wouldn't believe him.
He continued to stand guard beside Wilhelm's bed, waiting for the old man's condition to improve. Naturally, they would understand what was going on when that happened.
Just then, Lothar suddenly stood in front of Harold, shielding him from the security guard that was about to restrain him.
Luna's conversation with Bill and the others had affirmed what the Oracle had told him.
His benefactor was currently in a tight situation.
Lothar had never once second-guessed the words of the Oracle, and he concluded that the timing was right for him to befriend this benefactor of his.
"Mr. Hightower, what do you think you're doing?"
Everyone did a double take when they saw Lothar shielding Harold.
They wondered why was Lothar joining in the unhinged antics of a madman.
