Chapter 20

“Who are you?” Alec turned to look at the source of the voice.

A pretty young girl with dark hair and chewing gum caught everyone’s attention with her intense gaze.

Ryan quickly said, “Alec, she’s the genius doctor I brought…”

“Ridiculous!” Before Ryan could finish speaking, a cold rebuke interrupted him.

“You greedy little girl again.” Arriving late, Hilda glanced at Wynter with a frown. “Are you here to scamthe hospital because you can’t make any money?”

She then shouted, “Who brought this person in? Didn’t anyone bother to check?”

Upon hearing Hilda’s voice, Sergio hurried over. “Dr. Gibson, it’s a misunderstanding. These people areall the patient’s companions. The patient’s condition is critical and needs immediate attention.”

The patient’s companions? So, was Wynter related to this patient? He was just a poor relativepretending to be from Kingbourne, making her run here for nothing.

“Clear the room first,” Hilda said arrogantly.

Ryan frowned. “No, we must stay.”

Hilda’s voice turned cold. “I prefer to consult patients without anyone else present. If you can’t acceptthat, you don’t have to arrange a consultation with me.”

She was unwilling to work overtime and did not want to treat everyone.

Though Ryan had heard about Hilda’s infamous reputation in the community square, seeing herarrogant demeanor in person was a different story. He was furious!

“You’re a doctor! How can you just leave a patient unattended?” Ryan growled.

Hilda responded casually, “Why are you talking like that? As if you are a family member? I suggestedclearing the room, but you disagreed. What can I do? If you want me to conduct

treatment, I can.”

She gave Wynter a disdainful look and continued, “Your girl doesn’t know how to behave and hasoffended me. I won’t make things difficult for you from the backwoods. If she apologizes to me inperson, I’ll see the patient immediately.”

“She won’t apologize to you!” Ryan exclaimed. He had been in Kingbourne for many years

and wasn’t treated like this anywhere else.

Now, Hilda was just making things difficult for them. She was not genuinely trying to save lives.@@novelbin@@

Hilda sneered. “What’s with your attitude? Are you trying to cause trouble in the hospital?”

Ryan was seething with anger. For a moment, he actually felt like laying a hand on her.

As the person involved, Wynter raised her hand to stop him and said calmly, “Stay calm. Saving lives isthe priority. We can deal with the rest later.”

Ryan’s eyes burned with anger. “I’ll listen to you! Please! You must save him. I beg you!”

Witnessing his friend’s state, Alec became convinced of Wynter’s capability.

Hilda sneered disdainfully, “You really think an amateur like her can cure and save lives? My goodness,that’s just ignorance.”

“Mr. Hunter, what Dr. Gibson said is right. You mustn’t be impulsive.” Sergio didn’t have any objectionsto Wynter. He saw her as an unreliable young girl.

“You know how complex Mr. Quinnell Senior’s condition is. Neither you nor I can do much. Can shehandle it?”

Upon hearing this, Wynter looked down and played with her watch. She said coolly, “The patient initiallyhad ragged breathing, an unexplained high fever, followed by a persistent dry cough with blood in thethroat and a tight chest. He should already be losing consciousness.”

Every symptom matched! Sergio’s eyes widened in disbelief!
