Steven slumped to the ground, shuddering uncontrollably and unable to say a single word. Similarly, the fierce nurse was frozen in shock too. As somebody working in the medical industry, who had not heard of Joseph Harrison before? Thus, she stuttered softly, “W-We were not trying to cause trouble for Mr. Joseph Harrison… W-We were looking for Matthew, as well as that wench, Crystal—”
Then, the director angrily snapped, “Crystal Harrison is the daughter of Ted Harrison and the granddaughter of Joseph Harrison!”
With those words, the fierce nurse slumped to the ground too. I kept pointing and cursing at Crystal just now. What is going to happen to me now?
After a while, Steven forced himself to his feet. Staggering to his feet with the help of a nearby table, he said in a trembling voice, “M-Mr. Ted, I didn’t know Crystal was your daughter… I-If I have offended you in any way, I-I would like to sincerely apologize to both you and Crystal. Crystal, I’m very sorry.
I-I just like you far too much. T-That’s why I did something like that… Please give me another chance. P-Please, forgive me this once. I-I won’t dare to do this again…”
However, Crystal simply turned her head to the side, refusing to spare him a single glance. Throughout my life, many have tried to woo me. But, it’s my first time meeting people like Tristan and Steven. Tristan was over-confident, arrogant, and conceited, thinking that being with him was a step up the social ladder.
On the other hand, Steven is despicable and shameless. How dare he go so far as to kick an innocent patient out of the hospital just to force me to get together with him? How can I possibly forgive somebody like that?!
At the same time, Ted glanced at him and said coldly, “As a doctor, it is our duty to help those in need of medical care. It is not wrong of you to try and woo Crystal because of your feelings for her. However, you went so far as to deprive an innocent patient of a hospital bed in your attempt to court her. Moreover, you
blatantly ignored the injured patient and failed to treat his wounds. As a doctor, that is something I cannot forgive!”
Steven tremblingly replied, “Mr. Ted, I have reflected on my mistakes. I won’t dare to do that again… Please, forgive me this once. Please, forgive me on account of my father…”
Ted waved his hand dismissively. “Parents are responsible for their children’s behavior. Therefore, your father is also at fault for failing to discipline you well. Perhaps your father has been getting ahead of himself in recent years due to his high position and has grown arrogant as a result. So, I’ve decided to let him start over from the beginning. It will also allow him to get to know himself again.”
With that, Steven completely went limp and sat blankly on the ground. In Eastcliff, a single word from Ted could determine the life or death of his father. In other words, his family was going to lose everything they had from now on, and his father was also going to lose his current position. All of that was what he had always taken pride in.
Yet, his actions had ultimately led to the downfall of his family, causing them to lose everything they had. He truly regretted his actions now, but it was too late for regrets. Besides, when he first arrived at this hospital, he had used similar methods to force other girls to submit to him too. Now, he was finally paying the price for everything he did so far.
As for that fierce nurse, she was sent to the police station. Based on the hospital’s surveillance cameras, they discovered that she was the one that pushed Mr. John to the ground. Therefore, she had no way of weaseling her way out of taking the blame.
In the end, not only did she lose her job, but she was also going to be locked up for a while. Most importantly, Steven could no longer help her secure another job anymore. Hence, she was now
unemployed with no prospects.
Even if she were to remain in Eastcliff after this incident, she would never be able to find another suitable job—this was the price she had to pay for what she had done.
However, nobody sympathized with that fierce nurse. After all, she had been one of Steven’s cronies. She had harassed and picked on many people in the hospital. For that reason, everybody was already upset with her but simply did not dare to voice out their dissatisfactions.
Rather, they cheered at the fact that she was kicked out of the hospital. Meanwhile, the gazes that were directed at Matthew were even more envious than before—why did Crystal, the very example of a rich and beautiful woman, choose to work at Matthew’s department?
