Chapter 591: Sister'S Clinic
Chapter 591: Sister's Clinic
-Even though you only run a small clinic, you can't end a child's future like this. You can't just stand by and watch her turn into a vegetable, can you?
Xavier followed Leila's footsteps, one after the other.
Leila was a little surprised that Xavier, of all people, was willing to get involved in such nonsense.
Especially when, inexplicably, they brought in a child and didn't see his parents on the other side. This patient, again, had been brought in from the morgue of another hospital.
-Have you finished yet? I haven't eaten all morning, now let me go back to my office and get some food and water and then I'll talk to you about specific things, okay? -Leila, somewhat displeased, looked at her brother.
Xavier's pattern with her had always been like that, never being polite to her.
Xavier wanted to say something, but followed the woman straight into the office.
Once inside the office, Xavier notices a box of food on Leila's desk.
-Do you eat this every day? -Xavier took a general glance at the box of food, the inside of which was not particularly generous.
And the dishes don't look very fresh if you look at them by color alone.
-It's just dinner for one person, the simpler the better. I usually prepare it at home during weekend get-togethers, so it's not every day I eat this," Leila took off her white coat, afraid of getting her clothes dirty while eating.
She looked at Xavier and picked up a glass of water.
-Have you eaten yet? -Leila asked the other man without forgetting him.
Although she didn't know if this second señorito, the Bolaño family, would be able to eat what she was eating, deep down she was still worried.
Xavier glanced at the food in Leila's box and immediately had to shake his head.
It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, he just didn't feel like eating. His main concern now was when would little Daniel wake up?
-You could go home for lunch, it's just my mother at home every day and she gets quite lonely," Xavier mentioned lightly.
Leila's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, stopped and then looked at Xavier.
-"It's just that I'm so busy with my regular work that I couldn't function at all if I made a trip home. Besides, your mother and I didn't get along particularly well. Over the years, Xavier spent a few years abroad and Leila became independent for a few years.
Jorge is not indifferent to his daughter, but he is not as interested in her as Xavier.
As for Xavier and Leila, they are nothing more than stepbrothers and stepsisters. But it's good that they have grown up together and have a good relationship.
-Let's not talk about it, you can live away if you feel comfortable. Our family has money to pay you anyway, whether you open one clinic or two," Xavier looked at Leila and inadvertently told the big truth. Leila's private practice is not very big, but in terms of equipment and medication, everything is imported.
This condition depends to a large extent on the fact that the Bolaño family is really very rich.
Despite this high quality service, Leila's fees have always been very cheap. So much so, that she has always been a money loser.
But the private clinic was doing quite well, and the crowd used to be quite large. It wasn't like Xavier said, there weren't many patients.
-When you take over the group in the future, you will call me every month for a fixed fee. I will use it to subsidize my hospital, on this condition, I will compensate you in advance - Leila's cynicism towards Xavier basically went in one ear and out the other.
She didn't care if she lost money, but she would plan for future investments. Her only stable investment is this brother, so of course she won't let this opportunity pass her by.
Jorge also gives her enough pocket money every month, and she still has the advantage of having money in her family.
-You're my sister and you've opened a hospital that has lost money, and I'm the only one who can wipe your ass, so I'definitely be in charge of you from now on. But it's up to me whether or not to take over the old man's group," Xavier responded to the woman's question.
An unnoticed note also reveals the rest of his thoughts.
Hearing her brother's words, Leila was suddenly a little curious. What was the man thinking, hadn't he come back to inherit Jorge's group?
-Didn't you study abroad for so many years to be able to have that ability to run the company? How is it that now, in this situation, you are starting to go backwards?
Leila has a general idea of the three years her brother has been away.
Xavier is also studying corporate culture management.
In fact, he is said to have done well in school these past three years. At first, Jorge was just thinking about letting Xavier try, not expecting his son to give him such unexpected results.
-I'm not beating a retreat, but I don't want to inherit the old man. Maybe add something else to the old man's burden, like you did. Acquiring a money-losing company seems like a good idea, too," Xavier said with a straight face.
Not inheriting the group is another thing on his mind, but that doesn't mean he's going to give it up.
-Do you want to do it yourself?
Setting up a company is not as easy
as you think, even if you inherit the
ta
group, it will take you a long time get familiar with the operational process. If you start on your own, it's not like you're burning money, you might as well give me the money and buy some better equipment -Leila didn't have a good opinion of her brother at all and immediately poured cold water on him.
Xavier didn't open his mouth to explain further, whether it had been done to that extent or not would have to be said at that point anyway.
It is possible that his company will do better than Jorge's, and at that point everyone will be impressed.
But it will only do so when the time slowly comes, which by all indications will not be long.
-Let's cut to the chase. When exactly
will the child wake up? This is because he is very important to me and whatever happens, you must save him anyway. Or if you don't feel confident, I'll contact a better doctor right now," Xavier looked at the woman in front of him and said
seriously. Little Daniel's life or death
was really important to him.
If anything happens when the man is in his hands, he and Mariana will be finished.
Leila looked at Xavier as he ate, incomprehension reflected in her eyes.
-I have to ask you a question, and you must tell me honestly.
When Leila had almost finished eating, she put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
Xavier looked at the woman with a curious face, wondering what the other woman was going to ask.
