Chapter 224 Jayrodale General Hospital .
Andrew had just stepped into his office when Francesca walked in , her expression a mix of curiosity and mischief .
She teased , Dr.
Lloyd , your old flames family is staying at our hospital .
Andrew raised an eyebrow .
What happened ? Did someone get hurt ? Francesca pouted .
Oh , so youre still hung up on her ? Seems like you care about her a lot , dont you ? Andrew sighed .
Its not like that .
Im just surprised , thats all .
With a light scoff , Francesca explained , Christinas fine .
But Mrs.
Stevens , that feisty old hag , and Leroy were nearly beaten to death .
Christina looks completely out of it pale and helpless .
Since you two have a history , maybe you should check on her .
Andrew chuckled .
You didnt sound like you wanted me to see her earlier .
Francesca puffed out her chest and replied with a haughty tone , I dont want you to get tangled up with her again .
But youre the hospitals deputy chief , and visiting patients is part of your job .
Andrew nodded and headed toward the intensive care unit where Christinas family was staying .
When he pushed the door open , the sight before him was almost comical .
Irene and Leroy were both wrapped in thick bandages around their heads , making it seem as if their heads were bigger than their bodies .
Irenes situation was the worst ; she groaned loudly , Oh , the pain is killing me ! Am I dying ? Harveys a monster , and so is his family ! I swear Ill never let this go ! A nurse nearby frowned .
Maam , you need to stay calm in your condition .
And please , this is a hospital watch your language .
Irene could not move her head , but her eyes shot daggers at the nurse , You little brat ! Who do you think you are to lecture me ? She continued , Do you even know who I am ? Im the mother of the CEO of Stevens Corporation ! Christina can have you fired with just one word do you believe me ? Sitting by the bedside , Christina looked like she was about to scold Irene .noveldrama
She was exhausted , mentally and emotionally drained .
She could not believe her mother still had the energy to act so unreasonable at a time like this .
Just then , Andrew walked in and spoke in a cold voice .
Maam , if youre unsatisfied with the hospitals care , youre welcome to transfer elsewhere immediately .
Chapter 224 Irene was startled , clearly not expecting such a blunt response .
Her injuries had finally improved slightly , and she did not want to go through all the hassle and worsen her condition .
However , when she realized it was Andrew , she quickly changed her tone and snapped , Oh , its you , Andrew ! What now ? You think youre some big shot now , huh ? How dare you talk to me like this !! Andrew stared at her with a calm , indifferent expression .
You seem to have forgotten that Im the deputy chief of this hospital .
If you insult our staff again , Ill have you kicked out .
Irenes face stiffened .
She clenched her teeth and grumbled , Fine ! I see how it is .
Youre just an ungrateful leech ! After everything the Stevens family did for you , this is how you repay us ? Christina loved you with all her heart , and you threw it away like trash ! She turned her body dramatically toward Christina , wailing like she had suffered some grave injustice : Andrew ignored her antics completely .
Instead , he turned to the nurse with a polite smile .
Nyla , you can go back to your duties .
Ill handle things here for now .
Nyla blushed slightly and smiled back .
Thank you , Dr.
Lloyd .
Ill leave it to you .
As she walked away , she hesitated for a moment , then glanced back shyly .
Biting her lip , she said softly , Dr.
Lloyd , are you free after work ? My grandpas been wanting to invite you over for dinner again .
