Chapter 1282 Leave Now
Queenie’s statement made the elderly lady tremble with rage. After all, she was there to seek treatment, not to be insulted. The next second, she got out of the hospital bed shakily, put on her shoes, and was set to leave.
“Ma’am, we’re not done here. Where are you going?” Arielle ignored Queenie at this point. When she saw that the elderly lady was going to leave, she dashed forward to stop her.
Expectedly, the elderly lady had a temper as well.
She slapped Arielle’s hand away forcefully, pointed at Queenie, and yelled angrily, “I’m not here to be insulted; I’m here to seek treatment. I don’t need doctors like the two of you. I don’t care if I don’t get treatment, even if it meant that I will die. At least, I can preserve my dignity.”
She begin heading out again after her speech.
Queenie rolled her eyes at the elderly lady and murmured, “Hurry up and leave then. I have no desire to entertain patients like you. After all, there’s nothing to treat! Just go home and wait to deliver the baby.”
Deep down, she was enraptured.
It’s a good thing the elderly lady is leaving. Cor can get me another patient anytime, just like how he found twenty over patients previously.
There’s another patient left and it would be perfect for us!
“Queenie, just keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say!” Arielle glared at Queenie with her piercing eyes. She’s way out of line!
Queenie, however, was not the least scared of her. She pointed at the elderly lady and snarled, “Aren’t you leaving? We’ll get another patient after you, so hurry up and leave! Stop hogging the spot!”
The elderly lady was all riled up because of Queenie. Before this, she had always been confident in the medical services provided by Silverbirch Hospital. Otherwise, she would not have preferred traditional Chanaean medicine over modern medicine. But this time, the elderly lady was on the brink of collapsing from her overwhelming anger.
“I’m leaving now,” said the elderly lady.
No matter how hard Arielle tried to stop her, she was adamant about leaving. Even Cornelius rushed over to stop her when he found out about it, but to no avail. It was pointless. The elderly lady was determined to leave as she did not want to be insulted by anyone here.
Arielle was uneased as she stared at the elderly lady leaving. She turned to Cornelius and said, “I’m concerned about the elderly lady, so I’ll send her off personally. Since Queenie doesn’t want to treat her, you can get another patient to replace the elderly lady.”
With that, Arielle turned and started walking away. Initially, Cornelius wanted to tag along with her, but he could not leave the pending matters unattended. Hence, he could only watch her go. “Call me if there’s anything.”
Arielle nodded and trotted off in the direction the old elderly lady had left.
When Cornelius returned to the hospital, he assigned Queenie another patient.
“Cor, where’s Arielle?” Queenie asked upon seeing Cornelius with the new patient.
“She has other matters to attend to.” Cornelius had already witnessed how Queenie treated the elderly lady and was displeased. “You must be patient with your patients, no pun intended. Don’t delay their treatments just because of your blunders.”
Queenie initially didn’t understand the message behind Cornelius’ statement, but it didn’t take long before she realized that Cornelius was aware of what happened moments ago. “Did that b*tch Arielle snitch on me? I knew it!”
Queenie blinked her eyes and stared at Cornelius, displeasure evident in her gaze. “I’m your sister, Cor. You shouldn’t trust what others say about me. I’m a doctor, and just like you, I was raised by Grandpa and Father. I know how to handle the patients!”
