chapter 15 I'm pursuing Olivia Xia
Upon seeing the situation, Director Zhao's eyebrows furrowed deeply, a hint of worry evident in his gaze as he quickly glanced at the tall and imposing man beside him. The man had a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were sharp and piercing. Wiping off some sweat, Director Zhao began, "Si..."
Xavier Si took two steps forward, standing in front of Olivia Xia. "How much more do you need for the medical expenses?"
Unexpectedly, Xavier Si would show up at such an awkward moment. Olivia Xia coughed lightly to ease the tension and said, "No worries, I've paid it all."
Xavier Si raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Just as the young nurse was about to speak, Mrs. Liu shouted, “What do you mean you’ve paid it all? You poor thing, not only could you not afford the 1 million plus bill at once, even paying off the quarterly amount of three to four hundred thousand would be impossible for you.”
"If Tyrone Xia doesn't give you money, a person like you won't even make a million if you go out and sell yourself," Chole Liu smirked.
As soon as Chole Liu's words fell, she felt a sharp gaze on her, sending a shiver down her spine, making her feel like she was in an ice cellar.
At this moment, the young nurse, who had been constantly interrupted, finally had a chance to speak, "Director Zhao, Mrs. Liu, and Miss Liu, you all have misunderstood. Miss Xia just had me use her card to pay off the previous quarter's hospitalization and medication fees and prepay for the next year..."
Director Zhao was stunned, and Mrs. Liu widened her eyes in astonishment, "What, what did you say?"
"This is impossible! Where did she get the money?"
Chole Liu regained her composure and met Xavier Si's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked upon his extraordinarily handsome face. Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red almost immediately, and she began subconsciously adjusting her clothes and tidying up her hair.
"This seems to have nothing to do with you," Xavier Si said, his hands in his pockets, standing lazily next to Olivia Xia. He sneered, "Director Zhao, does the hospital allow patients to continue staying if they owe fees?"
"Exactly, she's been in arrears for so long. Why hasn't she been kicked out yet? Isn't this a waste of resources? Do you know how many patients can't get a room in the hospital and can't receive treatment because of such instances?" Mrs. Liu angrily shouted.
Director Zhao looked at Xavier Si's expression and straightened up, saying, "Usually, such situations do not occur. However, Mrs. Yue has been here for six years and has consistently paid her fees on time in the past. With Deputy Director Qi acting as a guarantor, our hospital has adopted a more humane approach to her situation."
Xavier Si nodded slightly, "In that case, if a patient needs to be asked to leave the ward, it should be the responsibility of the hospital. Since when can one patient arbitrarily ask another patient to leave? Moreover, Mrs. Yue's outstanding payment for the ward is her personal privacy. Can the hospital disclose a patient's privacy to outsiders at will?"
Director Zhao wiped away his cold sweat, "This is our oversight in management. Please rest assured that we will thoroughly investigate this matter and not let the patient and her family down." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Good," Xavier Si nodded and glanced at Mrs. Liu, then turned to Olivia Xia, "Shall we go in to see your mother?"
Was he going to meet her parents so quickly?
When Olivia Xia was hesitating, Chole Liu suddenly adopted a gentler tone, "This gentleman is absolutely right. Who could it be that deliberately leaked information to us? It's obvious they knew I wanted to change rooms and intentionally provoked us to come here and cause trouble."
After saying that, she looked at her mother with a pitiful expression and said, "Mom, I just wanted to change to a more comfortable room. I've been following the hospital's procedures all along. It's definitely someone deliberately trying to harm us, making us come up here to stir up trouble."
Mrs. Liu couldn't understand why her daughter suddenly changed, but she followed along, "That's right, Director Zhao, we hope you can explain this matter."
So, initially, they were the troublemakers, but with Chole Liu's words, they had turned into victims, as if they had been manipulated.
Olivia Xia glanced at Chole Liu and saw her constantly looking at Xavier Si. She couldn't help but smile and said coldly, "So, Miss Liu, are you saying that everything you just said was instigated by someone else?"
"Miss Xia, I admit I made a mistake in this matter. I shouldn't have let my emotions be manipulated so easily. But, I am a dancer, my legs were seriously injured, and I almost couldn't dance or participate in the provincial competition. These days in the regular ward were tormented, so it's understandable that my emotions got out of control."
Chole Liu lowered her head, appearing pitiful.
Olivia Xia couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Liu, perhaps you should consider acting instead of dancing."
After speaking, Olivia Xia turned her head and looked calmly at Director Zhao. "Director Zhao, I would appreciate it if you could handle this matter. My mother has suffered so much for no reason. If the hospital cannot provide a reasonable explanation, I will seek justice in my own way."
"Director Zhao is reasonable, and I don't think you'd want the hospital to have such incidents happen again. If this were to be exposed online, it could significantly impact the hospital," Olivia Xia added, mixing reason with a hint of threat, causing Director Zhao to nod uncontrollably.
If it were only Olivia Xia, Director Zhao might not have paid much attention, but a powerful figure was standing next to her.
Director Zhao didn’t dare say a single word.
Chole Liu wanted to say more to Xavier Si, but Olivia Xia had already taken his hand. She elegantly opened the door to the hospital room and, with a cold demeanor, shut out all the noise from the outside.
As soon as Xavier Si left, the atmosphere in the corridor became considerably lighter. Director Zhao, no longer looking nervous, directed the hospital staff to take Mrs. Liu and her daughter away and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Inside the hospital room, soothed by the music, Sofia Yue's condition had already improved considerably. Seeing Olivia Xia enter, she quickly removed her headphones. "Darling..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed that Olivia Xia was holding a man's hand, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Olivia Xia calmly withdrew her hand from Xavier Si's and handed a glass of water to Sofia Yue. "Mom, have some water first. The situation outside has been resolved."
Sofia Yue nodded slightly and then glanced at Xavier Si by her side. "Who is this?"
"Hello, Aunt. I'm Xavier Si, and I'm…," Xavier Si replied, but Olivia Xia interrupted him.
"My prospective boyfriend," Olivia Xia coughed and replied indifferently.
Xavier Si didn't expose Olivia Xia's remark. Instead, he smiled charmingly and nodded, "Yes, I'm pursuing Olivia Xia."
Olivia Xia gave Xavier Si an approving look. This guy had high emotional intelligence.
Xavier Si raised an eyebrow as if responding to Olivia Xia.
However, their intimate interaction, seen through Sofia Yue's eyes, had a different meaning.
Sofia Yue's voice was distant and aloof as she said, "Mr. Si, my daughter is still young and currently has no plans to date. Besides, with me around as a burden, she doesn't have time for a relationship."
Xavier Si smiled, "Auntie, don't worry. I'll wait for her. And as for you, you won't be a burden. On the contrary, you'll be the best witness to our happiness."
Sofia Yue couldn't help but look at Xavier Si for a moment. He was quite eloquent, had a silver tongue, and looked better than most women. It's no wonder he could win her daughter's heart. So, she wouldn't let her daughter be easily deceived.
