Chapter 438

Following that, Tristan helped Veronica to walk to the director’s office.

The moment they entered the door, Veronica began murmuring, “Director, I give you one chance to fire Matthew and Crystal right away. Also, please ask the security to bring them here and teach them a lesson. Otherwise, I’ll make you lose your job!”

The director frowned and responded in a deep voice, “Stop messing around! Matthew is a department director, and Crystal is our nurse. It’s not up to you whether they stay or go. Also, what do you think the hospital is that I can just ask security to bring them over and teach them a lesson?

Let me tell you; I don’t care who you are, but this hospital is definitely not where you can just throw your weight around.”

The director’s words stunned Veronica.

Prior to this, whenever the director saw her, he would always be respectful.

What’s going on now?

How dare he go against me?

“Fine. Since that’s what you said, don’t regret it later. I’ll see how you’re going to explain to my husband when he’s here in just a moment!” Veronica growled, departing angrily with Tristan.

Seeing the two leave, a cold grin flashed across the director’s face.

He knew about Crystal’s real identity all along, just that he had never told anyone, and as for Tristan, he had been displeased with him for a long time as Tristan had been getting whatever he wanted in this hospital based on his family background. Besides, he was disrespectful toward everyone around here, including the director.

This time around, the director felt that he should use this incident to chase Tristan out of the hospital.

“He deserves it,” the director whispered before he started humming.

Meanwhile, while Crystal was helping Matthew clean his office, her phone rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was Ellie.

“Ellie, what’s going on?”

Then, Ellie’s sobbing voice sounded out from the phone, “Crystal, p-please help me… m-my mother got chased out of the ward…”

Crystal’s countenance dropped, asking, “What happened? Who did that to you?”

“Ellie responded, “It’s a chief physician named Steven Newton. H-He said that this bed was reserved for someone else… My mom was still on a drip, and he just unplugged it… Crystal, I don’t have the courage to tell Matthew about this… Can you perhaps send us back to the previous hospital?”

Her words stunned Crystal. It took her a few moments to recall who Steven was, and she finally recalled that he was the person who bought her milk tea earlier.

He did say something out of anger when Crystal chased him out earlier, but Crystal did not take what he said seriously. Much to her surprise, Steven played dirty by going after Ellie.

No doubt he had found out about the arrangement Crystal made for Ellie to come to this hospital, so he decided to go after Ellie by chasing her out of this hospital to make things difficult for Crystal.

“Ellie, don’t panic. I’m coming over right now.”

Putting down her phone, Crystal rushed to the inpatient department in front of the hospital.

The moment she arrived in the hallway, she immediately saw Ellie, who was holding her mother, standing in the hallway.

At the same time, Ellie’s father was sitting on the floor with his hands over his forehead with blood between his fingers.

It was truly chaotic.

Upon seeing this, Crystal panicked and asked, “W-What’s going on?”

Then, a peeved-looking nurse walked over and sneered, “This patient’s family is trying to make a scene here. He even wanted to beat someone up. While that didn’t happen, he fell over and knocked his head. So, he decided to just sit here and blackmail people. We’ve already called the police. You can continue to stay here. I’d like to see what you can do.”

Ellie quickly responded, “W-We’re not trying to make a scene… They threw out all our belongings and they chased my mother out of the ward… My mother was still on a drip, but they wanted to unplug it.

My dad was afraid that it would be bad for my mother, so he tried to stop them. Then, t-those people beat him up and pushed him against the wall…”
