Diana’s pov
But Nathan clearly had no intention of giving up.
Soon he sent the same message as last time.
‘100 million. Are you coming or not?‘
I stared at my phone screen and sneered, once again feeling the importance of Avia to Nathan.
Unfortunately, Avia’s illness was clearly a pretense, and I was not interested in wasting my time playing with them.
‘No.‘ I replied without hesitation.
‘200 million, or you ask for a price.‘ Nathan responded in seconds.
I sneered.
So, Nathan really thought I would change my mind at the sight of money?
I was too tired to talk to him for another word, so I simply blocked him.
“What happened?” Marc asked.
I shook my head and didn’t want to say much.
“You look very tired, dear. Go to bed early,” April patted on my back.
“Okay, I’m going to sleep. And April, you should also go have some rest.”
I got up and went upstairs.
After returning to the room, I took a shower.
When I came out of the bathroom, my phone rang.
It was still the work phone I used as Healer. There was a polite man’s voice coming from inside.
“Hello, dear Healer, I am Alpha Henry from Blue Mountain Pack. I take the liberty of calling you so late.”
I remembered the preview exhibition not long ago when Henry mentioned to me in a
chat that his brother was sick.
I thought that’s why he called me,
Sure enough, after a simple and polite greeting, he mentioned his brother’s illness and hoped that I could help to treat him.
His voice sounded a bit nervous when it came to the cost.
I directly waived his medical fees.
Henry was first shocked and then kept thanking me over the phone.
After finishing the call, I was ready to go to bed.
Just then, my phone rang again.
I thought Henry had something else to say, so I picked it up casually, but inside
came a cold male voice
came a cold male voice.
“Did you just take Alpha Henry’s order for free?”
I frowned and then lowered my head to look at the phone screen.
I had to lament Nathan’s shamelessness.
I put him into the blacklist and he simply changed a phone number to contact me.
“Yes, I did.” I deliberately lowered my voice to prevent Nathan from discovering my identity.
I was not curious about how Nathan learned about this news.
After all, Alpha Nathan’s tactics have always been formidable.
“I don’t understand.” He sounded angry. “I gave you 200 million, and you rejected my request! But you are willing to treat Alpha Henry’s brother for free! Healer, you take it too personally!”
“Alpha Nathan, I think you misunderstood something.” I relaxed and leaned against the bedside to say, “I’m not short of money. And every moment of my job saving others is precious, not something you can afford to pay for.”
Nathan sarcastically said, “You’re not short of money, but you asked me for 300 million before.”
“Is 300 million a lot? I just heard a gossip tonight. You spent 800 million to please Avia and bought her a pearl bracelet. I saved her life with just 300 million. Is her life less valuable than a bracelet?”
Nathan remained silent.
I smiled and continued, “Besides, I’m a doctor, not a scammer. I don’t have the ability to diagnose illnesses in healthy and normal people. I believe Miss Avia doesn’t want to see me either. She likes to pretend to be sick so much, why don’t you just find a doctor to accompany her to pretend?”
After speaking, I hung up the phone directly.
To prevent Nathan from going crazy and calling me again, I chose to turn it off.
I didn’t want to have any further involvement with Nathan.
I have wasted my time on him for two years, which was already foolish enough.
I got more meaning to fulfill in my life. Research in the medical field had more significance than Nathan.
The next day, I met Henry as Healer and cured his brother.
When I left, I received a text message from William.
He arranged for me to meet at a high–end restaurant nearby.
“How have you been lately?” William asked after gesturing to the waiter to serve.
“Not bad,” I shrugged.
“I heard that you were bullied at last night’s auction,” William said.
I pursed my lips.
“Do you need me to revenge for you? You know, most of the people who attended the banquet last night had business dealings with me. As long as I say a word, those who gossip about you will pay for their behaviour.”
William’s reaction was almost identical to Marc’s.
That moved me very much.
During the two years I spent with Nathan, no one cared about my feelings.
Everyone… Even a servant could dictate to me.
So much so that I even forgot that so many people had always cared about me.
“No need,” I shook my head. “I don’t care what those people say. Besides, if they really provoke me, I will revenge myself.”
William sighed.
“Diana, remember, I will always protect you. You know, I have always treated you as my daughter.”
Tears spun in my eyes.
When I was very young, my parents passed away due to the war.
In Marc’s early years, he often fought around for Pack and had no time for me.
It has always been William and my teacher taking care of me.
I have long regarded him as a father.
During the meal, William brought up another topic.
“By the way, the director of a hospital under my name has recently retired. Are you interested in it?”
I was amazed.
“Director? Me?” I pointed to my nose, “I’m afraid I am not qualified.”
“If you are not qualified, who else is? Don’t forget, my dear Diana is the famous Healer.” William had a hint of pride in his eyes.
“But…”
“Moreover, there is another reason I want you to be the director.” William’s expression became much more serious. “My sister, who was your lead professor, had her most important virology research project at that hospital. But because… she passed away, that project has been shelved. I think only you can continue to complete this project. After all, you are her best student.”
My clenched my hand slightly, thinking about the project,
I actually had an understanding of the teacher’s project, which was of great significance to the entire medical field.
In my early years, Professor Penny didn’t involve me in this project because I was too young.
After all, research projects on viruses posed huge risks to researchers.
But now, the professor was no longer alive.
As her student. I must help her fulfill her last wish
“Okay, I’ll go.”
A week later, William personally took me to the hospital to announce my succession to the position of director at the meeting.
However, as soon as I arrived at the door of the conference room, I heard a man say,
“This time, the position of the director must belong to Claude.”
Someone immediately agreed with him, “Claud is Penny Reed’s student. He is the most qualified person to be the director.”
Upon hearing this, I was stunned for a moment.
I didn’t remember my teacher having a student named Claud.
The conversation in the office was still ongoing.
“Then let’s congratulate Dr. Claud in advance.”
“Yes, congratulations.”
“It’s a bit too early to say these things now. Let’s wait for William to announce.”
A man’s voice sounded, and I guessed he should be Claud.
William gestured to his assistant to push open the office door.
After seeing William, everyone instantly quieted down.
–
William took my hand and walked up to the crowd, then loudly announced – “Diana Reist, in the coming days, she will take over the entire hospital as the director.”
William’s decision caused the already quiet office to become noisy again.
A man with a square face and waxed hair vigorously patted the table and shouted, “I’m sorry I can’t agree with your decision. If I got it right, Diana is just a woman who has just been divorced and has a newborn child! Before that, she couldn’t even get recognized by Dark Moon Pack! Everyone knows she’s Alpha Nathan’s useless Luna! What qualifications and abilities does she have to be the director?”
I fixed my sight on the nameplate on the chest of the man’s white coat
Claud!
