Chapter 44

Chapter 44 “It’s none of your business!” Mackenzie snapped before walking off. “Haha, see you next time, Ms. Quillen!” Despite Mackenzie’s arrogance, Joel had no choice but to maintain a cordial smile. After all, the Quillen family wasn’t one he could afford to offend. Meanwhile, Emmanuel had laid Alessandra down on the bed of a single ward. After that, he massaged her acupoints to alleviate the pain. Soon, a doctor who specialized in internal medicine arrived. His name was Darren Chase and was acquainted with Emmanuel. The sight of Emmanuel treating his mother elicited a furrowed brow from Darren. As a doctor of modern medicine, he wasn’t familiar with traditional medicine. In spite of his disdain for gynecologists like Emmanuel, he maintained a polite smile on his face. “Dr. Lowe, why did you bring the patient here when you know how to treat her yourself? It’s not like you’re unaware of how busy the hospital is.” Turning around, Emmanuel anxiously explained, “The condition of my mom’s kidney is really bad, not to mention that she only has one left that’s functioning. I decided to bring her here since she needs modern medicine to reduce the inflammation and round–the–clock care.” Even though Emmanuel was trained in traditional medicine, he wasn’t averse to modern medicine. Instead, he was someone who believed in the effectiveness of combining the two.  When it came to inflamed kidneys, the injection techniques of modern medicine were more efficient and effective than relying on the herbs of traditional medicine. “In that case, come with me and complete the admission paperwork on your mother’s behalf.” “Sure.” Emmanuel instructed the nurse to hook Alessandra up to a drip before heading out with Darren. When he returned, he was surprised to see his mom 3/3 standing outside alone with the mobile drip stand. “Mom, what’s going on? Why are you standing outside?” Surprised and feeling bad for her, Emmanuel hurried to her side. Bearing the pain in her kidney, Alessandra gave him a helpless look. “A hospital staff came in to inform me that the ward has been reserved by someone else and kicked me out of it. On top of that, they’re unable to find a room for me!” Emmanuel’s brows knitted in response. Throughout the two years he worked in the hospital, such a situation was a rare occurrence. Thereafter, he went to see the nurse in charge of the wards. “Dr. Lowe, the wards are allocated by the attending physicians. Dr. Chase has assigned it to someone else,” the nurse explained. Emmanuel was outraged by the answer. He could clearly remember that the hospital didn’t have a policy for reserving wards. Moreover, his mother had clearly come first with Darren’s knowledge. Therefore, he wondered how the room was allocated to someone else right when he went to complete the paperwork. Consequently, when Emmanuel requested to see Darren, the latter found an excuse not to come. At that moment, two burly men in suits who looked like bodyguards emerged from the ward. “Haha, Mr. Chamberlain has reserved this ward, so stop causing trouble here and move along!” “That’s right. You can’t afford to bear the consequences of interrupting his rest.” In a fit of rage, Emmanuel barged into the ward. Upon reading the man’s medical file, he was further infuriated.

There’s no need for him to be hospitalized, yet he insists on taking over Mom’s room. This is outrageous! “Hey, kid, who are you? What are you doing?” Joel questioned in an intimidating voice when he saw Emmanuel. Suppressing his fury, Emmanuel replied politely, “Mr. Chamberlain, your condition doesn’t require any hospitalization. On top of that, my mom came here first. Can you let her have the ward back? Thank you.” Joel was momentarily stunned before guffawing out loud. “Is this a joke? Who the hell are you? Why should I give you the room?” I arranged to be hospitalized on purpose so that I can enjoy the company’s medical benefits. Getting paid for doing nothing just feels great! As his fingers balled into fists, Emmanuel couldn’t come up with a solution to the impasse. Meanwhile, a loud crash was heard outside the ward, followed by a commotion. With no time to argue any further with Joel, Emmanuel rushed out of the ward to be greeted by the sight of Alessandra grimacing on the floor. “Mom!
