Chapter 254
Hardly anyone could claim to be as unfazed as me.
I’ve lost my brother, lost a child, yet I carried on with life as usual.
It’s not that I didn’t want to see Max. Sometimes the thought crossed my mind, but the mere idea would bring back a tidal wave of grief from two lifetimes, intertwining and overwhelming, prompting my heart to retreat.
Today, Evergreen Health Center was open for business as usual.
But trouble brewed at the doorstep.
A beggar and a tycoon were causing a scene.
I couldn’t be bothered to deal with it, delegating the task to Helen. But soon enough, Helen came jogging back, unable to resolve the issue. “The beggar came in first to seek medical attention, but then this wealthy guy insisted his case was more urgent, claiming someone in his family had a severe heart attack p>
I lazily lifted my eyelids, saying, “Tell him if it’s that urgent, he should head to the hospital next door. They’ve got more doctors on hand p>
Helen added, “But I saw the car they arrived in, it’s an armored vehicle from out of town. I’ve been with Mr. Hilton for ages and never seen them around. No clue which family they belong to p>
The mention of an armored vehicle piqued my interest.
Because in a dream, Kate had mentioned the person who took my fingers in another life arrived in an armored vehicle, a kind even Kate hadn’t seen before. Given her status and the things she was used to, this was unusual. So, it might be the people Helen was talking about.
“Let’s have a look p>
I stood up and felt wave of dizziness wash over me. I knew my health wasn’t great, but I was determined to keep pushing through.
Evergreen Health Center was bustling, but few knew me personally. As I stepped out, most greeted Helen, unaware that I was the actual owner of Evergreen Health Center. Not that it mattered to me.
In the lobby, a man adorned with gold chains, rings, and earrings sat at the center, surrounded by a few similarly decked-out bodyguards.
Helen approached them, “Sir, our
boss
attackgests that for a heart
attack, it’s better to rush to
hospital. They have more
next
comprehensive facilities p>
“I’m staying right here!” He seemed determined to create a disturbance.
“Where’s the patient?” I stepped forward to ask. If there really was a patient requiring urgent care for a heartattack, their antics cou
have
cast a life by now.
“Who’s the boss here? I heard the boss is the best doctor around. I want her to come treat my family member. Money’s no object p>
The man with the gold chains clearly hadn’t come for me and had no idea who I was.
“I’m a doctor too. I can take a look. But given the urgency of a heart attack, your family member would likely be dead by now because of this fuss p>
“You!” The man seemed irritated but then rubbed his shiny bald head, “I didn’t mean a heart attack, just a chronic heart condition p>
I shot him a sharp look and sensed no deceit. Yet, something still felt off.
“If it’s a heart condition, I’ll have Evergreen Health Center’s most experienced doctor visit.” As I turned to leave, the man hastily stood up “Who do you think you are? I’ve said I want the boss of Evergreen Health Center. No other doctor is fit to treat my master p>
Master?
Now I was genuinely curious about who his master could be.
“Then I’ll come with you p>
It’s been ages since anything really caught my interest. This might just be it.
Yet the man with the chains scoffed, “And you are? I asked for the boss of Evergreen Health Center p>
