Semua Bab Rising from the Ashes: Bab 1251 - Bab 1260

"Dr. Charlton here at the hospital has a big shot backing him up. Honestly, stirring up trouble over this won't do you any good, no benefits at all." "Better to keep your head down and keep the peace. We ordinary people just want a quiet life!" Andrew listened to the well-meaning advice from one patient after another. He looked around: mothers clutching their children, elderly folks braving the sea of people at the hospital just to find a bed, and coal miners with simple, honest faces and brawny arms. Maybe they were hurt or had a family emergency. Their hard-earned daily wage of five or six hundred, all gone because of a hospital visit! Andrew took a deep breath, and his gaze turned fierce. He stared down Daniel, the smirking doctor, and said with a steely voice, "Getting medical care is hard, it's costly, and on top of that, we have to deal with the likes of you ruining our mood…"You've made the hospital a place more terrifying than a prison for ordinary people! All these p

Daniel felt a chill run down his spine, mopping his brow as he asked, "Mr. Lloyd, is something wrong?"Internally, he was fuming, 'Dude, don't try to push your luck.'Andrew's face was a mask of stone as he said, "Just resign, take a good look at yourself, and then take a hike! I used to be in the medical field, and I can tell you, your attitude doesn't cut it for a doctor!"Daniel's face went white with rage, and he spat out, "Mr. Lloyd, you're crossing the line! I was being nice because of Ms. Garcia! However, if you're seriously telling me to quit my job, let me be blunt—you're being laughable!"He was on the verge of a big promotion, quitting now would be insane, right?Chantelle was frowning too!Andrew's request to see Mr. Goddard was already sorted, so what was the point of that drama?Was it fun to pick fights with a low-level doctor?Andrew's frown deepened as he reiterated, "Let me make myself clear, Dr. Charlton, your behavior is downright shameful! Being in the hosp

In the midst of an uncanny hush, the nurse, pale as a ghost with fear, snapped out of it first."How… how can you guys just hit someone? Dr. Charlton… he's one of Mr. Ellington's people, you guys are in deep trouble now!"She said to Andrew, her voice barely above a whisper.Daniel, somehow finding a burst of energy, scrambled to his feet.He shot Andrew a poisonous look and let out a furious roar before running off, hand clutched to his bleeding face, towards the hospital!Chantelle rubbed her temples. "He's probably off to find his big shot backer. Mr. Lloyd, if this keeps up, we're only going to get in deeper."Andrew replied calmly, "Then let's brace ourselves for an even wilder storm!"Chantelle was speechless.She had told him to take the win and get out of dodge, but he was actually gearing up for a bigger showdown!Logan, never one to shy away from a fight, laughed in his face. "You've got guts—I'm impressed!"The crowd around them? They were all secretly buzzing with

Daniel was secretly thrilled, labeling Andrew a total idiot in his mind.He had been lenient, and yet the guy refused to back down!Then he had ticked off Norman, known for his fiery temper. This dude was in for a ride!"Mr. Ellington, you've seen it with your own eyes, how this guy just loves to cause trouble and pick fights, right?"Egging on the situation, Daniel was quick to fan the flames.Norman was seething with rage and said icily, "You don't want to apologize? Fine, we'll settle this through legal channels! Also, Dr. Charlton is one of our own. It's not your place to boss him around!"As the director of the hospital, handling Andrew would be a piece of cake. His actions earlier were no doubt just asking for trouble.If Norman couldn't manage this small fry, how was he supposed to command respect after a promotion?As for the Keller family, Norman was not scared at all.He was not out to make enemies with the Kellers!He just needed to put Andrew in his place, and if

"You heard him. I'll send him over to apologize to you in person later. Can we put an end to this drama now?"His voice was quieter then, and the bluster was gone.It would not be an overstatement to say he was totally bowing down to Andrew!Yet Andrew just shook his head, his voice icy as he said, "I don't need his apology. An apology from a doctor without morals is an insult to me! You're the director, and you think you can just brush it off as youthful ignorance? "Heh, anyone else might have been duped by you! However, today, Mr. Ellington, you're out of luck. Because you've run into me, Andrew!"Norman had not expected Andrew to push further and exploded, "Andrew, what do you want from me? Are you not satisfied? Do you want to hit me, the director, too?"Andrew replied with scorn, "Sorry, but I'm a civilized person. Resorting to violence is crude, and that's not my style."Logan looked on, his face a picture of sorrow.What was that supposed to mean?Was he implying that
