The ambulance whizzed through the bustling street and made its way to the hospital.
Once they reached the hospital, the medical personnel rushed Ashlynâs grandmother over to the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn put on her white robe and told the director of the emergency room, âIâll take part in the rescue operation.â
âSure, Dr. Berry! Please come with me!â The director replied.
Finally, they walked into the emergency room together.
Without further ado, Ashlyn carried out a series of thorough tests for her grandmother while coming up with the appropriate treatment plan with the director of the emergency room.
âThe patient is diagnosed with severe pneumonia. We have to run a CT Scan to ensure nothing else is wrong with the patient,â Ashlyn instructed with a serious expression.
She got increasingly infuriated as she got a better grasp of her grandmotherâs actual medical condition.
Her grandmother had fallen seriously ill, but Horace had been keeping her in the dark all along. In fact, they refused to send her to the hospital despite being aware of her actual condition.
It was evident they wanted to send Ashlynâs grandmother to hell.
Horace Berry!
Mary Canter!
She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down. âLetâs bring the patient for a CT Scan now.â
âYes, Dr. Berry.â The nurse took note of Ashlynâs instruction and brought her grandmother over to the CT Scan room immediately.
Once she walked out of the emergency room, she ran into a few nurses who were in the middle of a conversation as they were cleaning up.
âDoes that mean Penelope is Dr. Berryâs half-sister?â
âIt feels like Penelope is really jealous of Dr. Berry! A friend of mine whoâs part of the surgeon team told me whenever someone praised Dr. Berry in front of her, Penelope would get infuriated. She would throw a tantrum in front of others.â
âWhat? Sheâs such a self-centered woman!â
âExactly! I mean, isnât she Dr. Berryâs sister?â
âTheir grandmother is heavily bedridden, and yet none of them bother to rush her to the hospital. I canât figure out whatâs going on in the mind of those from the Berry family.â
âYouâre right! I canât believe such an unfilial bunch of people actually exist in the world!â
âThankfully, Dr. Berry noticed what was wrong with her grandmother. Actually, Dr. Berry doesnât stay in the Berry Residence with her family. If sheâs around, Iâm sure those from the Berry family would not dare mistreat her grandfather either!â
âThatâs so inhumane! Unfilial people are the worst kind of people!â
âIâm grateful that isnât the case for my family because my grandmother and my great-grandmother stay with us as well, but my parents ensure they take good care of them!â
The trio from the Berry family, who finally made it to the emergency room, heard the conversation the nurses had since they were at the entrance.
Horace looked at the nurses who were reprimanding them with a grim expression, asking, âMay I know whereâs Old Mrs. Berry who has been rushed to the emergency room?â
âSheâs currently away for a series of thorough diagnoses,â A nurse replied indifferently.
Mary, who had been infuriated due to Ashlynâs impudent behavior, couldnât believe she would have to go through another round of humiliation in the hospital.
Hence, she went berserk in front of the nurses, yelling, âPlease mind your manners! Is this how youâre supposed to treat the family members of a patient?â
Since they were merely nurses, Mary was certain they had limited influences within the hospital. She warned them, âI will file a complaint on all of you with your supervisor! How dare you badmouth us behind our back?â
âPlease suit yourself, madam!â The nurse took a peek at Mary and thought she must be Ashlynâs stepmother.
In fact, Penelope resembled her mother in terms of look.
On the other hand, Penelope, who was by her motherâs side, felt greatly embarrassed because the ones her mother was picking on were her colleagues.
If her mother were to offend all of her colleagues, Penelope would have a hard time dealing with them at work in the future.
She got in Maryâs way and stopped her mother immediately because she was aware of the potential consequences in store for her. âMom, stop it! Youâre making a fool of yourself!â
âTheyâre the ones who are making fools of themselves! Look at their attitude! How dare they badmouth us behind our back? They donât deserve to be nurses at all!â Mary yelled hysterically.
The nurse couldnât suppress her emotions either because she had never been scolded in the face ever since she was born. She rebuked and yelled back, âWho are you to tell me off?â
âIâm teaching you a lesson on your parentsâ behalf! Have you no shame at all? How could you gossip about others behind their back? I will definitely lodge a complaint against you! I want you to be fired! I wonât allow you to be a nurse anymore!â Mary took her anger out on the innocent nurse who was merely stating the truth.
âYou!â Although the nurse was equally infuriated, she couldnât rebut Maryâs statement anymore.
In the end, her eyes brimmed with tears, keeping her emotions to herself.
Suddenly, a callous voice could be heard coming from their back, asking, âOh? Who exactly are you trying to get rid of?â
The crowd was attracted by the presence of the professional-looking woman, who had a white robe on with her hair tied up, the moment Ashlyn showed up in front of them with.
She had a diagnosis report with her in her hand, evoking a sense of professionalism a doctor should have.
