Chapter 291: Do You Have a Medical License?
Jared Farrell responded coldly, “What is it?”
“I heard Mr. Farrell had a car accident.” Seeing that he didn’t care about her presence, Lily Ward clenched her fingers and forced a smile. “The surgery was very successful. Do you know which doctor performed it? Can Mr. Farrell introduce me?”
“No!” Jared Farrell looked at the woman in front of him with a frosty gaze, speaking without any courtesy.
Lily Ward was taken aback, her smile freezing. “I came here out of admiration for the doctor. Mr. Farrell, there’s no need to be so concerned.”
“So?” Jared Farrell’s attitude remained indifferent, if not more so.
“I…” Lily Ward wanted to say more, but Jared Farrell didn’t even spare her another glance and turned to leave.
As soon as Jared left, Nathaniel, who had been feeling restless in the ward, walked out.
Seeing Lily Ward, he paused slightly. “Miss Ward, what brings you here?”
Lily’s thoughts were pulled back. She smiled and said, “I came to see Logan.”
“Oh.” Nathaniel was now very sensitive to the mention of Logan and lost interest in continuing the conversation. “Then go ahead! My grandfather is in the ward.”
With that, Nathaniel started to leave.
“Wait!” Lily suddenly called out.
Nathaniel stopped. “Is there something else?”
“I heard that the doctor treating your grandfather is very skilled. Can you tell me who she is?” Lily asked.
Mentioning this made Nathaniel’s anger flare up. “Skilled? She’s just a fluke! That country bumpkin Tina knows nothing about medicine!”
“Talking about her brings bad luck!” Nathaniel didn’t want to talk to Lily anymore and turned to leave.
Lily stood there in disbelief, unable to believe her ears. Tina? The one who performed surgery on Logan was Tina? How could that be? Even if she knew some basic medicine, surgery was a whole different level. But according to the hospital staff, Tina’s medical skills were remarkable? No! She couldn’t believe it! They must have exaggerated Tina’s abilities!
Lily gritted her teeth and pushed open the door to the ward, where she saw Arthur Hazel and his wife still lingering.
Logan lay on the bed, already asleep.
“Miss Ward!”
The Farrell family didn’t interact much with the Ward family, but Hazel had heard about Lily from friends. Coming from a family of medical professionals, Lily’s reputation was quite impressive.
“Hello.” Lily greeted politely. “I heard about Mr. Farrell’s accident and came specifically to check on him.”
“Glad you’re here; I didn’t know what to do.” Hazel quickly walked up to her as if grasping at a lifeline. “Since the surgery, he’s had no appetite and has been sleeping excessively. Could Tina have made a mistake during surgery?”
“Miss Ward, please take a look!”
Lily was still reeling from being overshadowed by Tina but felt somewhat comforted by this news. She knew Tina couldn’t possibly handle surgery properly; she must be all show and no substance. Just after surgery and already showing symptoms-there must have been mistakes during the procedure.
She pretended to examine Logan seriously before looking up sternly. “You said Tina performed the surgery? Does she even have a medical license? How dare she perform surgery without one!”
Hazel was stunned by her question and turned to Arthur. “Right! Tina doesn’t even have a medical license! How could she perform surgery?”
Arthur, who had been silent until now, slapped his thigh in regret. “That little witch fooled us all! She’s not even a doctor and dared to operate-she’s risking his life!”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Surgery is serious business; any mistake can be fatal,” Lily added fuel to the fire. “Miss Reed’s actions were reckless.”
Just then, Tina walked in after finishing some tasks.
Seeing Arthur and Hazel still there and noticing Lily Ward, Tina frowned slightly.
“Grandfather said he wanted to rest.”
She crossed her arms and coldly observed the couple without acknowledging Lily Ward.
“Stop pretending!” Hazel straightened up after hearing Lily’s words. “Miss Ward said you don’t even have a medical license! You have no right to perform surgery! That’s grounds for imprisonment!”
“I think you’re up to no good,” Arthur angrily pointed at Tina’s nose. “Are you trying to kill him?”
Tina glanced at him, making Arthur hastily withdraw his finger. Remembering how she had previously subdued him filled him with an inexplicable fear; he felt intimidated by her presence.
“I don’t have a license?” Tina sneered at Lily Ward with arms crossed. “Do you know me well enough?”
Lily felt uneasy under her gaze; she hadn’t actually checked whether Tina had a license but had assumed so based on Hazel’s complaints about Logan’s condition.
“Can you honestly say there were no issues with your surgery?” She pointed at Logan on the bed, raising her voice. “Mr. Farrell is still unconscious-isn’t that proof enough?”
Tina laughed as if hearing a joke.
“What are you laughing at? Treating patients is serious business-are you treating lives like they’re worthless?” Lily shouted angrily.
Damn Tina! How dare she mock me!
“Enough!”
Before Tina could respond, Logan suddenly opened his eyes. “What nonsense! Who says our Tina isn’t skilled?”
Lily was stunned into silence seeing Logan awake; Hazel had said he was lethargic and unresponsive-how could he be so alert now?
“Mr. Farrell…”
She quickly composed herself. “Are you alright?”
“Should I not be?” Logan retorted angrily. “You all gave me a headache with your arguing; I pretended to sleep just to avoid it but heard everything you said about Tina!”
He shot an annoyed glance at Lily Ward, hinting at something deeper. “Some people may have impressive titles and come from prestigious families but can’t even tell if someone’s pretending or genuinely unconscious!”
Lily blushed with embarrassment under Logan’s sarcastic criticism; how could she have known that Tina truly had such skills to restore Logan so effectively?
