Chapter 524
Lord Protector Novel
He felt like he was losing his mind as he roared, âJeremy! You ba****d! Do you still consider yourself human?â
âGet lost! Stop going around framing others while acting innocent!â Jeremy spat back. âYou sure have some guts, Daniel. Before this, you conspired to kill our father and asked for my help by tempting me with the promise of splitting the inheritance money, but I refused. I never thought that youâd be this wicked and ambitious, going so far as murdering our father in secret... Dad, donât worry, Iâll avenge you today by finishing off this beast myself!â
Lily took it upon herself to play the part, falling towards the side of the bed and sobbing her heart out as she wailed, âGrandpa, you died such a cruel death.â She continued sobbing and turned to Daniel with red-rimmed eyes, âUncle Daniel, youâre inhumane! Is money all you care about? This is your own father! How could you do this?â
The commotion had attracted many doctors, patients and their families. Hence, a crowd had formed outside the wardroom.
Once they got to know the particulars, the ward was thrown into a frenzy.
âOh my goodness, what a horrible scandal. The son killed his own father to get his inheritance!â
âThis kind of person deserves life imprisonment, perhaps even a death sentence!â
âCall the police! Someone call the police! Damn, this kind of person doesnât deserve to be called human!â
âYou reporters must broadcast this news. This kind of person deserves to be condemned by the whole countryâs citizens!â
Danielâs face was flushed red as he hurriedly defended himself, âIâm innocent! I had nothing to do with this!â Sweat started to form on his forehead. âCall the doctor! Please, call the doctor! He could still be saved!â
He was about to rush out again.
However, Jeremy kicked him to the ground.
âStop acting. Youâre trying to escape punishment, arenât you? You want to flee from justice!â
Daniel clutched his stomach and curled into a ball. The intense pain spreading from his stomach made it hard for him to draw air into his lungs, and he was paralyzed by the agony.
Mr. Terence was watching this scene from a corner of the hospital. He wore a constant sneer on his face. âZeke Williams, letâs see who comes out the winner this time!â
Mr. Terence had used his personal connections to call the media reporters here.
He took out his cellphone and dialed Harveyâs number. âMr. Hoffman, Iâve completed my task. Itâs up to you now, Sir.â
âNoted.â Harvey replied.
At that moment, Harvey was sitting in a car parked at Heartland Hospitalâs parking lot.
Beside him was a potbellied middle-aged man.
The man was the reinforcement that Harvey had brought, the director of Oakheart Cityâs department of health, Gideon Allen.
After Harvey put down his phone, he took out a cigarette and passed it to Gideon. âAllen, the discontinuation of this hospital lies in your hands now.â
Gideon took the cigarette and lit it up, taking a deep and long puff. âHoffman, how many years have we been friends? Shouldnât you know what Iâm capable of by now? Shutting down a small hospital is a piece of cake for me.â
Harvey laughed aloud. âHaha. Very well. I wish you the best of luck!â
Gideon alighted the car and stubbed out his cigarette before walking towards the hospital lobby with confident strides.
Harveyâs mouth stretched into a hideous smile.
Once it was established that Daniel Hinton had âkilled for family inheritanceâ, and that it was his own father who was the victim, Linton Group would lose their medical qualifications and be banned from all medical-related matters.
When that happened, no matter how much money they had, they wouldnât be able to merge with Reagan Pharmaceutical.
After all, venturing into the medical industry wasnât the same as venturing into other industries. It didnât just require money, but medical qualifications as well.
Gideon walked into the lobby and instantly saw the crowd of people. âThis is a hospital! How can all of you gather here like that? Itâll affect the normal operations of the hospital, and Iâm sure none of you would want to bear the consequences!â He shouted angrily. âEveryone, disperse this instant!â
âSomeone in this hospital deliberately caused a death...â Someone shouted in response.
âWhat?â Gideon feigned shock and stared at the person with wide eyes. âDeliberately caused a death?
This is practically violating the law. Itâs unforgivable!â
âMake way. Iâm the director of the Department of Health. Let me take a look at the situation.â
The crowd immediately opened a path for him to go through, and chatter began to fill the area.
âThank goodness someone from the Department of Health is here. I have no doubt that heâs more than capable of upholding justice.â
âHmph! This hospital is so shady. It should be shut down immediately!â
âEven if they donât shut it down, I wonât dare to see a doctor here anymore. Who knows whether or not Iâll be put to death on purpose!â
