Chapter 303

Meanwhile, the ambulance had already arrived at the Berry Residence. The head of the emergency department, Dr. Mccoy, had personally led a team of doctors and nurses there.

The group of medical personnel dashed into the Berry Residence and asked, “Dr. Berry, where’s the patient?”

“In the attic,” Ashlyn replied.

“I’ll carry her down, I’ll go, you guys can just wait here,” Horace offered with a guilty conscience. It would be really embarrassing if these people saw the situation in the attic.

“That’s right. We are already feel bad enough that we have to call you guys to come all the way here.

Let us go get her instead,” Mary added.

Dr. Mccoy noticed the grim look on Ashlyn’s face and figured out at once that something unpleasant must have happened.

Without another word, he charged upstairs with his medical team swiftly. When Dr. Mccoy saw the scene in the attic, he couldn’t help but frown.

At the same time, he cast a contemptuous gaze at the Berrys and was unable to fathom how anyone could be so cruel.

Penelope stood rooted to the floor and was plunged into icy fear. Her colleagues had all seen this, that her grandma was staying in the attic of her big house…

“Dr. Berry, we should get going now,” Dr. Mccoy said to Ashley respectfully.

The head of department behaved as if Ashlyn was the head of department instead.

Penelope was dumbfounded.

She grabbed Dr. Mccoy’s arm and asked, “She… Is she really a doctor?”

“Aren’t you a surgical nurse? How could you not know that Dr. Berry is the best surgeon in the hospital? I can’t believe you don’t even know the most well-known person in our hospital! The two of you are… “ Dr. Mccoy glanced at Penelope, then at Ashlyn.

The way Dr. Mccoy spoke to Penelope was filled with disdain and arrogance.

On the other hand, his attitude towards Ashlyn was extremely polite and respectful.

What a snob this guy is!

“I… I’m her elder sister!” Penelope said weakly.

“Excuse me, we don’t come from the same mom,” Ashlyn refuted and strode out of the villa.

The rest of the medical personnel followed closely behind her.

It was as if Ashlyn was the queen and behind her was her entourage of loyal courtiers.

Penelope’s face contorted in a mixture of humiliation and rage as she stared at Ashlyn’s diminishing figure which was moving further away. She clenched her fists in disbelief.

So Ashlyn is truly a surgeon!

It was an even greater shock to Penelope that Ashlyn was that ‘best surgeon’ she has been hearing all this time!

Why?

They shared the same last name but she was just a nurse.

“Hubby, what should we do now?”

Mary’s face was white with fear. That bitch Ashlyn was not someone to be trifled with since the time she was a kid.

When Ashlyn was younger, Mary could still handle her. However, as she grew up, Ashlyn’s intimidating vibes often sent shivers down Mary’s spine.

Mary’s got more uncomfortable with Ashlyn’s presence.

She was fearful that Ashlyn would take revenge against them.

“What do you mean by ‘what should we do’? I’m her dad! What can she do to me?” Horace huffed and continued, “No matter what, I was the one who raised her. Even if she’s the most ungrateful daughter in the world, she is not going to kill me or beat me into a pulp, right?”

Horace did not believe that Ashlyn would take any extreme measures against him.

He could make a police report if she inflicted physical harm on him. If that happened, the whole of Lake City would know how unfilial this best surgeon was, to be treating her own dad like that.

By then, she would be drowned by negative comments.

That was exactly what Horace had in mind.

After Mary heard her husband’s words, she forced back her fear and said to Penelope, “Penelope, you’re a nurse too. You should go to the hospital at once and take a look at your grandma. Don’t let your sister claim all the credit for herself during this crucial time. You need to put up your best behavior too, yeah?”

Penelope looked at Mary reluctantly and said, “Mom and dad, why didn’t you two help me when I was being humiliated just now?”

“Do you know how dire our predicament is right now?” Mary realized that she had spoiled her daughter too much. She could not believe that Penelope could still be concerned over such a childish matter when Ashlyn was going to create trouble for them any time.

“Do you think Ashley is still the same person she was when she was a kid?” Horace patted his elder daughter’s shoulders and said, “She’s capable of doing all sorts of crazy things now. Just listen to your mom and go to the hospital immediately.”
