vChapter 133
When Kingsley reached the office of the head of cardiology department, he heard Jude talking over the phone. "Hey, don't worry,
Larry! Cough—cough—"
"Yes, that's right. Director Church has said that as soon as the donation of one million has come in, he'll give both our
departments 200 thousand as research budget."
"Hahaha, cough. Don't worry, it'll be up to us, the heads of department, to decide how to spend that money!"
Jude kept coughing feebly as he spoke. It was clear that he had not fully recovered from the blow he received from Kingsley the
other day.
Just as he was about to chortle into the phone...
Bang!
His office door was kicked open.
Jude jumped in shock, but once he saw Kingsley's dark face, his eyes narrowed.
"It's you?!"
Jude shifted his glasses, which revealed the flash of malevolence in his eyes.
"Give me a moment, Larry. Something's come up. I'll call you right back as soon as I've dealt with it."
He gave a short explanation before ending the call.
"Do you still recognize me, Dr. Lynch?"
Kingsley's tone was frosty as he stepped into the office.
"I'd recognize you anywhere!" Jude pointed to his chest with a murderous expression on his face. "I was hospitalized for two
weeks thanks to what you did to me! I haven't even fully recovered yet!"
Kingsley did not dwell on these unimportant things. He got straight to the point and asked, "Where's Dr. Kramer?"
"Alice Kramer?" Jude sneered. "You have the gall to ask about her? Do you think you'd be able to stand here right now if it wasn't
for her offering to resign in order to save you? I would've gotten you arrested by now!"
Jude gave Kingsley a once-over before snorting derisively. "I have no f*cking idea what Dr. Kramer was thinking. Why did she
give up her career for a bum like you? But thanks to you, Alice has become the stepping stone for the young Dr. Church's career.
Director Church has even given me an additional 75 thousand for research as compensation!"
As soon as Jude finished speaking, a young doctor came striding in. "Is everything alright, Dr. Lynch? I heard some commotion."
The sound of the door slamming after Kingsley kicked it open had drawn quite a crowd of doctors and nurses. This young doctor,
Beau Woolley, was on good terms with Jude, so he decided to step in and ask.
Beau Woolley lived up to his name. He was a dashing young man who stole the hearts of many young women at the hospital,
including several nurses who were standing at the door and staring at him with adoring eyes.
Beau eyed Kingsley for a moment before asking Jude, "What's going on, Dr. Lynch? Should I get the security guards we just
hired to come over?"
Before Jude could respond, Kingsley commented coolly, "Don't bother calling them. They're not here anymore."
Louie and his men had all been dragged away by Baron, so Hill Crest Hospital no longer had any security guards.
Beau frowned at Kingsley's words. "What do you mean they're not here anymore? Who are you?"
Kingsley ignored him; instead, he knocked on Jude's desk and demanded icily, "Give me Dr. Kramer's contact."
He planned to reach out to Alice first, and once he reunited with her, he could sort out the issue with her job.
However, Reene was still unconscious after her surgery, and Serena was on an assignment.
Even though he had met Yulia, she did not know who he was yet.
And he had not even met his other sisters yet.
Therefore, in order to get Alice's contact, he needed to go through the hospital.
When Beau heard Kingsley's demand, his eyes grew wide and his tone was hostile as he questioned, "Why do you want Dr.
Kramer's contact? Who are you?"
He was glaring at Kingsley with a grim expression.
Beau had been trying his hardest to woo Alice, but she never gave him the time of day.
This was a humiliation for Beau!
He had slept with nearly every female nurse and doctor in this hospital!
It was only Alice who remained out of his grasp despite his overwhelming attraction for her.
Alice was the hospital goddess due to her beautiful features and voluptuous figure, and Beau was nearly driven mad with
obsession.
In fact, he had already thought of Alice as his.
Therefore, when he heard a man asking about Alice, he was filled with rage.
Jude saw the fuming expression on Beau's face and chuckled. "By the way, Dr. Woolley, didn't you ask me who it was that
claimed to be Dr. Kramer's husband? That's him right there!"
Back then, when they were all gathered outside Bailey's surgical theater, Kingsley had pulled Alice into his arms and told
everyone that he was her husband.
It fueled the hospital gossip for a very long time.
Alice was labeled the "Ice Queen" by the staff at the hospital, and they all found it hard to believe that she had a husband.
Beau had had countless sleepless nights over this news as well!
"So you're the b*stard, huh?"
Smoke was about to come out of Beau's ears as he growled through gritted teeth, "I've looked into it before, and Dr. Kramer isn't
married! Just who do you think you are, you f*cker? How dare you say that you're her husband?"
