Chapter 132
"Y-You win this time!" Zayne took a step back before retorting hoarsely, "But just you wait. I'm going to tell my father about this!"
Immediately, he hightailed it for the stairs, and in just a few seconds, he disappeared from Kingsley's sight.
Kingsley's eyes glinted dangerously.
Getting backup?
Sure, if Jeffred has the guts to come and mess with me, then I don't mind pulling him down a peg!
Just then, the doors to the surgical theater slid open. A doctor who was still in his surgical gear came over to Kingsley and
asked, "Are you the patient's next of kin?"
"Yes."
Although Kingsley knew that Reene had not been severely injured, he could not avoid feeling anxious.
"We have removed the bullet from her body," the doctor reported after removing his mask. "And because the patient had been
brought to the hospital in time, she did not lose much blood. Therefore, her vitals are good and everything is fine now. She will
need to stay in the hospital for a short period of observation, but she is well on her way to making a full recovery."
Kingsley finally could heave a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, doctor. I'll go and make the arrangements for her stay right
now."
He was about to leave when he paused and asked, "By the way, would you happen to know where Dr. Alice Kramer's office is?
Is she on-call today?"
Kingsley had not seen Alice since his last trip to this hospital.
He had been wanting to find the time to give her a surprise, but other things kept cropping up.
However, he felt the need to inform Alice about Reene's situation after today's incident.
To his surprise, the doctor was startled by his question. "Are you talking about the cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Alice Kramer? She
resigned over malpractice!"
"Resigned over malpractice?" Kingsley frowned. "What did she do? Why would she resign because of malpractice?"
The Alice that he knew was an upright and vigilant person.
What kind of mistake would she have made to be forced to resign?
"I heard that someone injured Dr. Lynch, so Dr. Lynch's family wanted to sue the person for intentional injury, but Dr. Kramer
voluntarily resigned in exchange for getting them to not pursue the matter further."
Kingsley's eyes began to look a little chilly once he heard what the doctor said.
"I see. Thank you for telling me, doctor."
"Not at all. The nurses will be sending the patient to the ward in a little while, so once you're done with the admittance
procedures, you can go straight to her ward."
The doctor turned around and went back into the surgical theater.
Meanwhile, Kingsley's expression hardened.
He had been wondering why no one came looking for him after he crushed Jude's chest.
It turned out that Alice had chosen to resign and forego her career in order to appease Jude.
Kingsley was furious, but he also felt very touched.
He was fuming over the fact that Jude and Zayne had forced Alice out of her job!
At the same time, he was touched that Alice was still as kind hearted as she had been when they were young.
Even though she did not know who he was yet, she was still willing to give up her career to save a complete stranger.
Kingsley swiftly completed all the check-in procedures for Reene before giving Cecilia a call. "Miss Larson, have you gone back
yet? Could you do me a favor?"
"I'm still in Hill Crest Hospital. I'll come over right away."
Megan's mother was currently in this hospital.
Earlier, when all the others had left, the Larsons went over to visit Old Mrs. Fox.
Therefore, it only took Cecilia a few minutes to hurry over from the hospital wards after receiving Kingsley's call.
Kingsley handed Cecilia the invoice and said, "Reene is in VIP room 9 on the 17th floor. Could you please help me check in on
her once the nurse brings her up to her room?"
"Certainly. I'll take good care of Reene!" Cecilia took the invoice from him before asking, "What about you? Do you need my
help? My father is acquainted with the hospital director here."
"I don't need anything. Just take good care of Reene."
After instructing Cecilia, Kingsley immediately marched over to Jude's office.
There was a murderous glint in his brown eyes.
He was going to seek justice on behalf of Alice!
It had been Alice's dream to be a doctor ever since they were children. She was a kind and determined person who would
staunchly refuse to back down in the face of all obstacles. If it had not been for him, she would not have had to give up on her
dream!
Just how far had she been pushed that she chose to resign voluntarily?
In that instant, a fiery storm threatened to explode out of Kingsley!
How dare you, Jude? How dare you treat my sister like this? You must have a death wish for messing with her when I am Ares,
the God of War!
