Chapter 41 I'll Protect What's Mine
Riley's gaze moved from Euan to William... Right when he came, she knew that she was saved.
Seeing the person in charge of the hospital coming over, Euan carried Lydia to the other elevator entrance.
He thought that he could wait until she started seeking for help, but he never thought that she'd rather be surrounded than showing her weakness.
He watched her coldly and forced her to the end, just to wait her seek for his help.
But she didn't even have the intention to know him, just like a stranger, no worse than a stranger.
He's waiting, thinking that she would pull him and tell the reporters right away, "I have a husband, he's right here!"
If so, he'd suppress all his anger and save her.
He could bully her woman, but no other people could! Even worse, a group of reporters!
But she didn't, she just confronted everything with silence and no sign of weakness.
Riley didn't need him.
Her world could tolerate one after another disgusting man, while he's the only intolerable one.
The path she had chosen, let her walk through it on her own! Without his intervention, he just wanted to wait and see, how she'd be like. William saw Riley first, before he saw Euan.
Reporters already surrounded her inside the garage, bombarding her with cameras and all was related to them.
Then, that was not a coincidence.
William had no name tag on him to prove his identity, but judging by his manner, he shouldn't be of a low status.
Those reporters couldn't help observing him, "Who are you?"
William walked through the crowd and protected Riley behind him, the strong will to protect her stunned everyone who saw that.
Euan had seen everything, so... He's that doctor?
He lowered his gaze and saw the man suddenly grabbing her hand!
Damn it!
"I'm the person that can answer everything that you doubt!"
One of Euan's feet had stepped into the elevator as William finished his sentence.
The elevator door closed, Euan carried Lydia without saying anything, they were going to the VIP special ward.
Lydia tugged his collar, looking so pitiful, "Euan, I'm so scared, I'm scared that she'll do things that will hurt our baby again... Euan, I'm not a match for her, what if we just move to another hospital?"
"No need, she wouldn't dare to do anything to you." the man's voice sounded as cold as ice.
A few teardrops came out of Lydia's eyes, "Euan, I didn't expect that it would come down to this, I had such a close relationship with her back then, how could she... Euan, stay and accompany me in the hospital, okay? I'm alone in the hospital, just in case reporters come..."
"Okay."
That's the same cold voice... But that was enough.
She wanted that result.
Lydia buried her face on his arm, grinning.
She really thanked that child, she'd really have to protect the child well.
In the corridor, Riley and William were still surrounded by reporters.
"Since you're the person in charge of the hospital, please give a clear explanation first... Dr. Watson prescribed a drug that's harmful to the baby, shouldn't she be legally responsible? Also, be expelled from the hospital?"
William didn't even want to give him a polite smile, he kept a straight face as he said, "We need to examine the drug to know whether there's a harmful substance in it, else than that, we should also check whether the residue was left inside the patient's body." He spoke so calmly, not panicking at all, his strong aura was reassuring to other people.
"But, Ms. Saunders did get hurt because of Dr. Watson's medicine, judging by their previous relationship. Dr. Watson has an obvious motive for murder."
Ha! He even said murder.
William still kept her within his protection. His eyes were sharp when he said, "Murder? Sir, with that sentence of yours, I have the right to file a lawsuit for defamation and slander, please pay attention to what you say." Reporter, "..."
"Whether our doctor accidentally used the wrong medicine, or the patient ate foods that were ill-matched caused by lack of knowledge, it should be investigated, but don't worry... Since it happened in our hospital, we'll definitely find the truth at any cost and let the world know about it, you can just wait for the truth."
He just casually said a few words and stopped all reporters' further questions. With Riley's personality, he believed that she wouldn't do such thing; it's not that she didn't have the chance to, but she would think that it's not worth doing.
As for what kind of person Riley was, it could be seen from all the details.
He had never heard the name "Lydia" overseas, but what he heard that day was just a mediocre person!
Riley looked up, there was a slight gratitude in her eyes, but she quickly looked back down.
"Then, what's your explanation for the doctor in your hospital to flirt with stranger during work time?"
"That's right! Such a corrupt common decency! How would she explain it?!"
Riley gritted her teeth, wanting to say something, William pressed on her wrists.
"Flirting? I just saw our doctor working hard reading medical records in the office, late at night, and her friend or lover sent her some late-night snacks. What about it? A snack sent with love unexpectedly can cause such a bad name, after the news gets broadcasted, will anyone dare to send foods to their loved ones' workplace?"
He said something warm and moving, it was like a strong wind that swept away the dirt and dust on her body... He's not angry, not impatient, and his tone is calm and powerful, and no one could pick out any fault out of him.
"Who are you? You're protecting her so much, are you really only her colleague? Just her boss?"
Finally, there's a slight change in William's expression... That's right, he smiled, it only took one second from his cold smile when he looked at the reporter to his warm smile when he looked at her.
"Then it means that you're not as lucky as our doctor, who met good colleague and leader, I'll try my best to protect what's mine. I'll use the legal means if those malicious slanders on the forum are not deleted by 12P.M. Today." He said "mine"...
It was a word with two meanings!
None of the reporters dared to say anything else because of William's proper words.
People who were watching there for excitement returned angrily, while Riley became relaxed.
In the elevator, Riley politely said, "Thank you for what you did just now."
The people behind William were all very sensible that they left the elevator for the two of them, it's another closed space but her mood changed.
His mood also changed.
"If you really want to thank me, don't show the expression like I owed you money, the matter is settled, and you're still not in the mood?"
Riley couldn't help laughing, "The vice president that seemed refined and gentle unexpectedly became so harsh when dealing with reporters."
How many times had he said similar words to get through problems?
William looked at his left hand that just grabbed her finger, he then laughed, "I didn't expect that you could have such a strong break out, you've done experiments in biology classes, right? When a mother eagle protects its babies, sometimes it could fight a wolf." Uhh... There seemed to be something wrong in that metaphor.
Riley was really amused that time, "Understood, your maternal love was just in a break out, thanks to mother eagle's love, it's babies will learn later."
William rubbed the space between his eyebrows, he made the wrong move!
"By the way, may I ask what your actual relationship with Euan is? Your gaze at him just now... was quite special."
He questioned for the second time, but she still answered perfunctory.
"Nothing."
Seemed like, he guessed it right, Riley's unknown husband was Euan.
Riley's husband was unexpectedly a person that's so hard to deal with, William frowned again, the difficulty increased a lot because Euan was really not an ordinary person.
"Seems like I have to adjust my tactics." he sounded like he's talking to himself.
""What tactics?"
"Hm... Seducing."
To prove Riley's innocence, as the vice president, William ordered thorough investigation of the blood supplements she had taken and asked for Lydia's blood and urine for examination. Once Lydia heard that there'd be examination, her expression immediately changed as she strongly refused it.
Euan stood on the head of the bed, the doctor in charge of blood sampling didn't dare to force her.
"Mr. George, the matter concerns the innocence and professional career of the doctor in my hospital. I hope you can let Ms. Saunders cooperate with us."
"I'm not going to! This is humiliating! Euan, tell them to go out!"
Euan looked down at her, "You should cooperate as he will take your blood for the examination."
Lydia bawled, "I don't want to! You just don't believe me! Tell Riley to come and confront me! Ask her whether she had the intention to murder me!"
She cried and made a fuss, the doctor didn't know how to conclude it and had to leave instead.
After the doctor left, Euan pressed Lydia's hand that was struggling, "Are you not going to tell the truth?"
Lydia opened her eyes widely as she looked at him restlessly, "Euan, what does that mean?"
Euan shook her hand away, "Then you should think carefully about what I meant."
Right after he said that, Euan turned around and left the ward, he also called Elijah at that time, "Send someone to take care of her."
"Yes, boss. How would you like to handle those reporters?"
"Keep the things, let them go away."
Hearing his tone, Elijah knew that "go away" wasn't that simple, clearly, someone was going to have a bad luck.
"Yes, boss, that... Madam is there, should I go and take a look? Such thing happened, Madam must be..."
"Elijah, you only need to do what you have to do!"
Elijah didn't dare to do make a decision on her own anymore, but he felt that the person who got hurt the most in that incident was Madam. The boss didn't care about her, even Elijah felt sad about that.
"Find someone to delete the forum's post." he ordered before hanging up, right after he said that, he added something else, "Seal his account." "Yes! Don't worry, boss."
After giving the order, Euan walked out of the hospital's door, He sat in the Rolls Royce in a grumpy mood and strongly hit the steering wheel. Once he thought of the scene where the male doctor protected Riley in the corridor, he felt very angry at heart!
What's even more annoying was, she unexpectedly let him hug her without struggling at all!
Euan was angry; he really wanted to ask clearly who that man actually was! What did it have to do with her!
Whether he was the one on the forum! Whether he was the male doctor that Hendrix said!
It would be best if the fact was different from what he imagined!
Because Euan could really do anything when he was angry!000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
