Chapter 997
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
I chuckled, âWeâre only here to take a look at the hospital and the medical equipment. Weâre not here to
tear down this place. Why did you bring so many people?â
He chuckled and replied, âLetâs go. The doctors and equipment are up there. You should take a look at
them so youâd feel more assured. Rich people like you tend to be more cautious.â
I followed behind him and let out a soft chuckle. âI have no choice, sheâs my precious daughter, and I
want to give her the best.â
His laughter echoed in the lift. Upon arriving at the second floor, I followed him past a metal gate that
led to a fifty square meters big office. There were five doctors donned in their white gowns.
After an exchange of greetings, Brandon announced, âAlright. Since everyone knows each other, letâs
jump straight to the equipment. Please explain to Ms. Stovall their functions and attend to her queries
as soon as possible.â
They all nodded.
I was not in a rush to look at the equipment, so I asked, âMr. Dumphy, Iâm not an expert in this field, so
thereâs no point in me trying to know more about the equipment. However, I have a request. I hope you
wouldnât mind.â
He smiled at me and replied, âOf course I wouldnât mind. I have no reason to reject your request as
long as itâs logical and legal.â
Logical and legal?
I let out an awkward chuckle. Would my request be logical and legal?
I looked at him and continued, âIâd like to look through the doctorsâ credentials. To be qualified as either
a clinical or surgical doctor, one needs to attain certain qualifications. I hope you all donât mind letting
me take a look at them.â
A few of the doctorsâ faces froze while Brandon was puzzled. âMs. Stovall, I believe you know that such
information is confidential. Rest assured that our doctors are all experienced and capable, and they all
graduated from top universities. Weâll definitely do our best for your daughter.â
I furrowed my brows and was hesitant. âMr. Dumphy, there are two major factors that can determine the
success rate of surgery â a safe operating environment and the doctorâs capabilities. Since Iâm not an
expert in the medical field, it doesnât make sense for me to measure the safety level of the equipment.
However, I would be able to verify the doctorâs qualifications. Since theyâre from top universities, can I
take a look at their certifications?â
It seemed like my request was ridiculous to them, as none of them intended to show me their
qualifications.
I looked at the doctors, then at Brandon, and smiled slightly. âMr. Dumphy, I donât think Iâm making a
difficult request. I believe this would form the basis of the trust I have with you all. If Iâm unable to trust
your doctors, I would rather engage the surgery somewhere else. I donât wish to bet on my daughterâs
life.â
Brandon frowned and replied, âMs. Stovall, you know the significance of this surgery very well. We
share the same purpose of saving your daughterâs life. Itâs not that we donât want you to look at their
qualifications, but if you were to leak such information, it would ruin their career. After all, they do not
have a perfect record on their portfolio.â
I nodded slightly and did not refute his words any further. âIndeed. Since you want to protect your
doctors while I want to save my daughter, letâs come to a compromise.â
âWhat are your thoughts?â he asked me impatiently.
âYou could rent the operating theatre to me. Since you wonât be able to show me their qualifications, I
wonât be able to trust them with my daughterâs surgery. Hence, I would get other doctors to perform the
surgery. Despite that, Iâd still pay the same amount.â
It was a logical offer, so he had no reasons to reject it. He thought about it for a moment and replied,
âYour request is not impossible. However, we need to bring it up to the senior management for
approval.â
I nodded with a smile. âPlease bring it up to them as soon as possible. As you know, time is running out
as my daughter is in critical condition.â
He nodded profusely.
It was not easy to flight a taxi in the suburbs. I was calling someone while pacing around the factory. I
wonder if Hailey did her surgery here as well.
