Chapter 158
Chase slowly stood up and marched toward the podium.
The crowd was stunned when they saw Chase going up the platform.
Chase?
Wasn’t he that good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Song family?
Why was he on stage?
When Daniel saw that it was Chase, a thought flashed across his mind.
Huh, that was how it was after all!
Didn’t the Helping Hands Medical Center have nothing to fear a while ago?
It turned out that their tactic was exactly the same as the Song family’s!
Bella was betrayed by the Song family and forced to bear their crimes.
And now the Helping Hands Medical Center was making Chase their scapegoat!
Haha!
Interesting!
Daniel hated that couple the most. Seeing them take the blame together, he felt more elated than ever before!
It would serve them right since they committed all those evil deeds!
Their reputation would forever be ruined!
“What do you have to say?” Daniel asked Chase.
Chase simply shook his head.
The people present were all confused at the sight.
Did Chase have nothing to say?
Was he really going to confess?
This good-for-nothing was indeed pitiful. He was like a stray puppy, abandoned by his
master, the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Chase and Bella were like a pair of miserable lovers, trapped within the same fate.
However, much to the surprise of the people, Chase slowly walked toward the patients
Everyone was puzzled.
What did this good-for-nothing want now?
Soon, Chase stood before a patient.
He looked around and said indifferently,
“Although I do not have anything to say, I’ll let all of you have a look.”
As he finished saying this, Chase tapped gently on the throat of one of the patients.
The force he exerted was miniscule, like a fallen petal landing on the surface of water.
However, the impact was extremely frightening!
The patient’s face, pale as a ghost, chanded dramatically as his eyes shot wide open!
An itch formed at the back of his throat, and he spat something out in front of everyone!
This caused an uproar among the audience!
It was blood that came out of the patient’s mouth!
The blood was a mixture of red and black! It was also laced with brown and yellow pus!
After throwing up, the patient lurched and fainted on the stretcher.
The crowd sprang up in panic and confusion!
Daniel’s face turned ashen. He had never expected Chase would murder a person in broad daylight!
“Chase, how dare you! Do you have a death wish?!” Daniel rushed over and roared at Chase.
The people present were also outraged.
“You maniac! Punish him! He’s a murderer!” a member of the audience rallied.
“Arrest him now!” another demanded.
“Doctor! Doctor!” a panicked person cried out helplessly, The crowd was already in a state of chaos.
Bella looked at Chase as he was ravaged by the storm, her heart skipped a beat.
She never believed that Chase would kill someone.
“Chase, what are you doing?” she asked silently.
But just when everyone wanted to arrest Chase, something strange happened again!
It was like a chain reaction from the first patient.
All Chase did was merely a gentle tap on the first patient who fainted after spitting out blood.
However, as if on cue, the other patients also spat out blood one after another after looking at the first patient.
In less than five minutes, all the patients vomited blood and fainted!
The scene became even more chaotic than before!
A doctor in a white coat bellowed, “Strange.
Their pulses are erratic and weak. Also, their discharge has a foul odor. I suspect they may have been poisoned.”
At his words, the audience burst into a cacophony.
The people rushing towards Chase stopped in their tracks.
What? What the hell had happened?
If this diagnosis was restricted to only the first patient, then things would make perfect sense since it was possible that he was drugged.
After all, everyone saw with their own eyes as Chase tapped the man’s throat.
However, how would one explain the chain reaction from the rest of the patients?
Chase never touched them.
However, they vomited the same concoction out at the same time!
In other words, Chase did not do anything to the first person!
The man was supposed to vomit blood anyway!
Everyone present shouted anxiously, “Hurry up and save them! Hurry up!”
“This is weird. Didn’t Lincon save these patients before? I saw his interview on TV and he swore nothing would happen again!
In that case, how do we explain what’s happening right now?” asked a man who rose from his seat.
A reporter pressured Daniel for answers,”Daniel, explain it to us! What’s going on here?”
The patient’s family members quickly surrounded Daniel.
Daniel’s face turned pallid at once.
How would he know what was going on If he knew that something as such would happen to these patients, he wouldn’t have been bold enough to bring them over! They were supposed to be here to make him look great and not to cause all these troubles!
“Daniel, explain to us clearly! What’s happening to my lover? Didn’t Lincon swear that they’re alright? Is he lying to us?” a woman in tears cried out.
“Where’s he? Bring him out now! Did he already know that there was no saving our family from the beginning? Is this why he is avoiding us today?” a man in his thirties shouted.
“If that is what happened, I will fight with all my might against the Zhao family! Not only did you not save our family, but you also used our tragedy to promote yourself! They should be in the hospital getting treated but you brought them here! I will personally send the entire Zhao family to hell with me if anything goes wrong with my mother!” A patient’s family member hissed furiously, his eyes laced with tears.
Daniel was flurried by the bombardment of questions and curses.
His mind went blank.
If the patients were truly in danger, the good name the Zhao family made for themselves would be for naught.
As Daniel panicked, he saw Chase standing placidly outside the crowd.
He pointed resolutely at Chase. “He must have done it! I don’t know what voodoo he used to poison your family members again!
Think about it, wasn’t your relative all well in the past few days?”
“However,” he added, “Just as we were about to sanction the Helping Hands Medical Center, he touched a patient before they all spat blood together. Do you really think this is a coincidence? It’s obvious that this good for-nothing is pulling tricks on us! He wants to frame the Zhao family so he could be spared from today’s punishment!”
Daniel’s accusations turned the focus of the audience towards Chase.
“He is using more than a dozen lives as his shield! Where is your conscience, Chase?
How could you be so wicked Helping Hands Medical Center?”
Could it be that this was really a trick by the Helping Hands Medical Center?
At this moment, Chase pushed the crowd aside and strode toward Daniel.
A wave of guilt washed over Daniel for no reason.
“W-wh-what do you want now?” Daniel questioned, conflicted.
“Nothing in particular. Aren’t you suspecting me for drugging these poor patients? Well, I happen to suspect you as well. So, here I am, to confront you,” Chase replied indifferently.
Confront?
Daniel froze.
Subsequently, he heard Chase ask, “Tell me what method you used previously to treat these comatose patients!”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
His words hit Daniel right in his Achilles heel.
The crowd’s curiosity was growing by the minute.
After saving these comatose patients, Lincon had been keeping his lips tightly sealed on the type of treatment he used, as if it were a revelation that could shake the heavens.
Now that Chase brought the question into focus again, how could they not be curious?
Daniel couldn’t help but take a step back. He was stammering, unable to say a word.
It was not that he did not know!
He could not say it! He dared not to say it!
“It is a secret exclusive to the Zhao family!
How can we reveal our secrets so easily!”
Daniel finally managed to spout the words out.
Chase burst into laughter right away.
“A secret? Fine, why don’t you let me take a guess? Perhaps, I know the answer.”
