Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 241 - Bab 250

I threw my arms around Claire and held her tightly, feeling her tremble in my embrace."Thank you, Sebastian…""It's alright. It will be alright," I said.I called Metis as our car sped toward the hospital.The call connected almost instantly."Hello?" Her smooth, calm voice came through the line."It's me, Dr. Fay. There's trouble, and I need your help," I began. "A friend's grandmother is suffering from cardiac failure. She's lost consciousness, spat blood, and hasn't regained it. We're on our way to Unity Hospital now. Can you help us treat her?""I'll do my best," Metis replied solemnly. "Give me her room number, and I'll rush over. As for whether my expertise can help… I need to examine her personally to know for sure."The call ended.-Metis ignored the long line of patients waiting outside her clinic and got into her car.Predictably, her patients were not happy."Dr. Fay? What gives? Why is the clinic closed all of a sudden?""It's about to be my turn! Don't go!"

A doctor and three nurses were still fighting to resuscitate Sabina.Metis shoved the doctor aside. "Get out of my way. You can't help her anymore, so why don't you stop cosplaying as if you can?""Who are you suppo— Fay? It's you!" the attending doctor cried.Then he added with a sneer, "I can't believe you came back after that incident. I thought you'd have more shame than this."Metis ignored him. She had only come for the patient.Claire and I exchanged bewildered looks. Did these two actually know each other? They didn't seem like rivals exactly, but something was off.The other doctor finally caught up with us. His face drained of color when he saw Metis at the operating table. "Dr. Stan, I'm sorry! I couldn't stop her. She just barged in. I'll call security right away!"Sean Stan shook his head. "No need, Alex. This is the woman I told you about—the one who loves putting on airs. Metis Fay, remember?"His gaze roamed over her, eyes flashing with lust. Metis had a strikin

Alex wanted to get on Sean's good side, but he knew better than to get his butt handed to him for the effort. He returned to Sean's side. "Dr. Stan, I don't think this guy is receptive to reason. Maybe we should wait instead? Or just call security?""You useless wimp! Why are you afraid of him?!" Sean bellowed, his voice thick with disappointment.Alex held his tongue, he snickered inwardly. This guy called him a wimp when he himself was just as scared to take action. Why did Alex always have to be Sean's pawn?Sean saw that silence for what it was—loss of support."This is a gross violation of our hospital's protocol. A disruption! You'll pay for this!" he growled, pulling out his phone. "You and that woman came here to smear our reputation, didn't you? Well, your plan will fail! I will stop you!""Whatever," I sneered, brushing off his threat.Once I made sure the door was locked, I returned to Metis. "How is she? Can you save her?"Claire's chest tightened as she leaned in cl

Sean reached behind him and felt something wet and sticky. When he pulled his hand back and saw the dark smear glistening under the lights, he froze. He was bleeding from his back."I'm injured! Someone treat me, now!" His voice cracked as panic surged through him.He lurched toward the operating table, dragging himself on one elbow, but I drove a kick into his side and knocked him away. "You're not gonna die from that scratch! Get lost!""You… fucking—" Sean hissed, his face twisted with pain.He shot me a venomous glare, but his eyes wavered. He knew better than to push again.On the table, Metis suddenly straightened, her eyes blazing. "I've got it! I know how to help her now! Sebastian, don't let anyone disturb me from this point on!"She set to work and sterilized her needles with brisk precision, every movement sharp and decisive."Got it." I nodded and planted myself between Sean and the table. He was the only one who could still throw this room into chaos.That was when

"Why should my grandmother be a victim of your son's disgusting scheme?!" Claire screamed, her rage raw and unfiltered. She lunged at him, hand raised.Donald caught her wrist just before it could strike. Scorn swept across his face. "Oh, spare me the drama. I've seen enough death and disease in my line of work to get all sentimental over it."My son is on this hospital's staff! What's wrong with prioritizing him over your grandmother? And you actually think you can hit me—"I pounced with every ounce of strength and slammed my hand across his face.Donald toppled backward, landing on his butt. Blood ran from his nose, and several teeth clattered to the floor."Son of a bitch! Why is your shitty son's little cut more important than the life of an old woman?! Go ahead, try to cover this up by abusing your power! I dare you!" I snarled, fury coursing through me like fire.I had never felt such rage. It was no wonder Sean was an asshole. How could he be anything else with this man f
