SWNOVELS Chapter 401
Chapter 401 Andrew said, Mr.
Chapman, please wait outside
This is a treatment room, and its best not to have non medical personnel present.
He added confidently, As for Lucy, give me half an hour, and shell be perfectly fine.
Marcus was stunned by the young doctors composure and confidence.
After all, Bernard had been frantically trying to help his beloved daughter without success, yet Andrew claimed he only needed 30 minutes.
Seeing his hesitation, Francesca smiled and said, Dont worry, Mr.
Chapman
Youre an executive at the Rhodes family corporation and one of Laurens people.
Lucy will receive the best care possible in our facility
Marcus nodded and said, Alright, III wait outside for Dr.
Lloyds good news
However, let me be clear Lucys well being is non negotiable.
Bernards face darkened considerably as he asked.
Dr.
Lloyd, are you stealing my patient? He had hoped to establish a connection with Marcus, but those plans seemed to be falling apart, which deeply frustrated him.
Andrew frowned and replied, Dr.
Hackett, I believe saving lives is what matters most.
If you feel Im stealing your patient, you can continue the treatment Ive already identified the cause Bernards expression fluctuated between anger and uncertainty.
Malaria was not a joke
It was extremely difficult to treat.
He snorted and stepped aside, saying, Never mind.
Since Mr.
Chapman has requested your care, I should know my place.
Andrew said nothing and began treating Lucy
Francesca watched with contempt, thinking how calculating Bernard was the moment he heard it was malaria, with its potent ....
ly fatal complications, he immediately backed off.
She believed his excessive ambition would ultimately limit his success.
Half an hour later, Andrew emerged from the treatment room.
Marcus, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately asked, Dr.
Lloyd, how is Lucy? Andrew smiled and replied, Why dont you go see for yourself, Mr.
Chapman ? In the hospital room, Lucy had regained consciousness.
Though slightly pale, she called out, Daddy! Marcus nodded repeatedly with joy, noting how much better his daughter looked compared to before
Francesca advised, Mr.
Chapman, let her rest for a while.
Malaria isnt something to be taken 1/2 lightly.
Shell need to stay for observation.
Marcus happily agreed, of course, whatever you and Dr.
Lloyd recommend
Bernard attempted one last connection, saying, Mr.
Chapman, would you like to have tea in my office? However, Marcus declined, No need to trouble yourself, Dr.
Hackett.
Id rather spend some time in Dr.
Lloyds office
Bernard had not expected such a direct rejection
His face reddened with anger as he shot Andrew with a resentful look before storming off Marcus scoffed,
Ive heard about Bernards poor character his jealousy and pursuit of fame.
Dr.
Lloyd, be careful working in the same hospital as him.
Andrew smiled and responded, Thank you for the warning, Mr.
Chapman, b already harbors a deep hatred for me.
Were sworn enemies, careful or not.
but Dr.
Hackett Marcus said coldly, I despise people who cause trouble despite their lack of ability.
From now on, Dr.
Lloyd, just call me Marcus if you need anything, Ill be glad to help
Andrew replied, Im not sure if III need anything from you in the future, but I do have something Id like to ask you now.
Then, Andrew showed Marcus to his office, where he asked Nyla to prepare tea for their guest. Once settled, he carefully asked, Mr.
Chapman, as an executive at the Rhodes family corporation, you must know something about Ms. Rhodes current situation?
