Cherished By Seven Sisters
Chapter 58 Calling His Peers Just as Patrick was about to depart, his phone vibrated. It was an unknown caller, so he thought it was from a patient and rejected the call without thinking.
After a while, he received a text message: Iâm Emrys Lund.Mr. Lund? Agitatedly, he called the number without delay. âI didnât expect you to call me, Mr. Lund. Iâm delighted. Erm⦠Iâm very sorry about what happened yesterdayâ¦â
Emrys went straight to the point. âStop talking. Do you want to learn Needle of Ninth Revival?â.
That offer astonished Patrick for a moment before he vehemently nodded. âOf course! Not only that, but my teacher also wants to learn it. He has been talking about studying under you for the past two days!â
âYour teacher?â
âYeah, Duncan Rodriguez, the famous doctor.â
A brief silence ensued before Emrys spoke again with a weird voice. âThis means youâre familiar with Lincoln, correct?â
âI do. We both studied under Mr. Rodriguez. However, my relationship with him is terrible. Are you perhaps his friend, Mr. Lund?â inquired Patrick carefully.
âHeâs my enemy.â
âGreat!â Patrick blurted before speedily realizing he had misspoken and explained, âIâm sorry, Mr. Lund.
I didnât mean to offend you. What I was trying to say was that b*stard Lincoln doesnât deserve to be your friend.â
âStop buttering me up. In two days, Lincoln will be opening a clinic opposite Apricot Hall. I want you to invite a few people to help me ruin the opening.â
âSure. Send me the address. I promise you that youâll be satisfied with the results.â
After the call ended, Patrick felt at ease, as though a ray of sunlight had shot through the dark clouds and shone on him.
Then he cackled wildly. âHahaha⦠Oh, Lincoln! You shouldnât have opposed me when we were still students. Now, youâve even stepped on Mr. Lundâs toe this time! You deserve whatever comes next!â
Of course, he would never tell Lincoln the truth. I hope Mr. Lund will crush you beneath his feet!
Confused, Randal stared at his father. âWhatâs the matter with you, Dad?â Why is he beaming after answering a call? He looked depressed just a few minutes ago and was hurrying to reach Jadeborough Hospital.

That didnât make his son any less confused.
Ignoring him, Patrick swiftly called someone. âHey, Abe, do you have free time during the next few days? Iâve something I want to⦠Eh? Youâre going to support Lincolnâs new clinic? Sure. Good luck!â
He ended the call and dialed someone elseâs number. âHey, Ray. Do you have time⦠Oh, youâre going to support Lincolnâs clinic too? Good luck.â
Then he made another call. âHey, Jaz⦠Oh, good luck!â
In total, he dialed more than a dozen phone numbers. Only two or three agreed to help him because they used to be his good buddies. The rest had already been invited by Lincoln.
Puzzled, Randal inquired, âDid the excessive amount of alcohol leave a negative effect on your brain, Dad? Why are you happy that people rejected you?â
Patrick responded profoundly, âYou donât understand. Theyâre all lining up to be taken out in one fell swoop! Hahaha!â
After finishing contacting his peers, he waved his hand. âLetâs go, Randy. Drive me to Mr. Rodriguezâs residence. I want to pay him a visit.â
Duncan used to be a professor at the University of Chanaea. Every one of his students was a prominent, established figure in hospitals nationwide.
Even the Department of Healthâs chief was once his student.
He had been enjoying his retirement for nearly a decade by that point.
