Chapter 248

Fred was taken aback by the conditions Kieran proposed. He had been hired by Kieran for a hefty fee, so he figured Kieran should be willing to meet any conditions he proposed.

But to his surprise, Kieran was adamant about one particular issue.

Kieran looked at Fred and said, “Please understand, professor, that this patient had always been treated by Dr. Brice Tranquil Care Hospital, even Dr. Brice resigned from another hospital to Tranquil Care Hospital for the sake of the patient. Dr. Brice knows this patient’s condition better than anyone else. I know you’re not a fan of working with people you don’t know, but having someone who knows the patient’s condition working with you should be a good thing, right? What do you think, professor?”

It was clear that Kieran was insistent on having Dr. Brice involved with this patient.

The professor didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Alvin.

Alvin promptly wheeled a chair over and placed it in front of the professor.

The professor stared at the coffee on the table, nodded slightly, and said with a serious expression, “I reckon I’ve had too much coffee. Mr. Hernandez doesn’t mind if I go to the bathroom first?”

“Of course.” Kieran stood up and approached the professor, ready to help, but the professor blocked him. The professor smiled at Kieran and said, “No need to, trouble yourself, Mr. Hernandez. Alvin can help me.”

With that, the professor looked at Alvin, who immediately wheeled the professor towards the restroom.

Vanessa stayed put, standing on the other side of the room.

Kieran glanced at Harding, who got up, patted Kieran on the shoulder, and said, “I’m gonna go for a smoke.”

After saying that, Harding left the room.

Kieran took out his phone and started fiddling with it.

After Harding left, he nodded at Karl at the door. He lit a cigarette but didn’t take a drag. Instead, he leaned in close to Karl’s ear and whispered, “Restroom.”

Karl pressed a button on his walkie-talkie and said, “Restroom.”

Dylan stood at the staircase, dressed in a white chef’s uniform with a chef’s hat and a mask covering his face.

-Upon hearing the message from the walkie-talkie, he quickly walked into the restroom. He followed closely behind the professor and then entered a stall, where he

started recording.

After the professor had Alvin check the surroundings to make sure none of Kieran’s people were around, he took out his phone and dialed Kyle’s number.

“Mr. Hernandez insists on having the patient’s previous primary doctor by my side… Yes, I haven’t agreed yet… Yes, I’m sure there’s nobody from Mr. Hernandez’s side around me… So, what should I do now?… Okay, I understand! I promise I won’t let the patient wake up. I want to hear my daughter’s voice…

In the restroom, Dylan accidentally overheard the professor’s conversation.

Through a quick glance, Dylan saw the professor angrily throw his phone against the wall.
