Chapter 9 Mr. Palmer, Sorry I Am Late

Nolan pointed to Joshua and shouted, “It’s him! Get him now!”

“Damn it! You ignorant bastard! How dare you make a scene in our hospital?”

The three security guards cursed and went forward to capture Joshua.

“Wait!”

Joshua shouted and stopped them.

“What is it? Are you afraid now?”

Nolan sneered and mocked, “Weren’t you arrogant back then? Are you regretting it now? Too late! I will sue you for using violence against medical staff! You will go to jail, and all of your relatives and friends, including your unlucky sister, will never be permitted to enter any hospital when they get sick! They will be left to death!”

Joshua’s eyes grew colder. “Doctors are supposed to be kind-hearted. You ruin the reputation of the First Hospital of New York! You don’t care about your patient’s life at all! You act for your own sake!”

Nolan was full of disdain. “I don’t care about my patient’s life? Bastard, do you know how many people I have saved in my life? It’s more than you can count! Who gives you the right to point your fingers at me?”

Joshua said firmly, “You know better than anyone whether you are saving people for money or not. Aren’t you afraid that you will be exposed online?”

!! Tsk!”

Nolan was unconcerned. “Stop acting tough. The people in this hospital do as I tell them. Who will believe your words? Be careful, because it might backfire. I will sue you for slandering me! I’ll let the netizens dox you!”

“It’s true that no one will believe my words. But I think they will change their minds after they hear what you have said!”

Joshua waved his phone. It was recording their conversation.

“How dare you!”

Nolan’s expression changed drastically. “I’ll give you a chance. Hand over your phone and delete the recording. Otherwise, be ready for the consequences!”

“Mr. Carey, you are so intimidating! I refuse to hand over my phone. What can you do?”

Nolan was furious. “You ignorant brat! Securities! Snatch his phone!”

The three security guards rushed to grab Joshua’s phone.

They tangled together.

The commotion attracted the attention of the people in the corridor.

There were family members of the patients and some of the hospital staff.

The hospital staff wanted to step up and separate them, but when they saw the furious Nolan, they pretended not to see the scene quickly and walked away…

Amid the chaos, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded, “You asshole! If you don’t hand over your phone, I will pull her breathing tube out!”

Joshua turned his head.

His heart trembled.

At some point, Baron, who had been lying on the bed, ran to Leyla’s bed and placed his left hand on her breathing tube.

Baron stared at Joshua provocatively.

“Put your hand away!” Joshua lowered his voice.

Baron rolled his eyes. “Who do you think you are to boss me around? If I want to stay in an advanced ward, I will. You’re just a piece of trash. What makes you think that your sister can stay here instead of me?”

As Baron spoke, he suddenly revealed an evil smile. “But I have to admit that she’s quite pretty. I might as well give her a checkup and see if she’s matured yet!”

He was about to touch Leyla with his right hand.

“Fuck you!”

Joshua roared and wanted to rush over, but the security guards stopped him.

Meanwhile, some of the onlookers couldn’t stand it anymore and began to discuss it.

“Using a patient to threaten him? You are so shameless!”

“There’s a doctor inside! Why hasn’t he done anything? Someone might die here!”

“What are the hospital security guards doing? Why aren’t they stopping this young man here? Why are they stopping the patient’s relative?”

People were having all sorts of questions.

Hearing that, Baron raised his fist. “All of you, shut up! Otherwise, I’ll beat you up!”

Nolan didn’t stop Baron at all. He also threatened fiercely, “Any relative of the patients who meddles in will be kicked out of the hospital!”

Hearing that, everyone fell silent. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Joshua glared. “I will make you pay!”

Baron laughed mockingly. “Idiot! You’re full of shit! Stop bragging! Just hand over your phone, kneel, and apologize to Nolan! Otherwise, I will feel your sister’s body out, and I will also pull out her breathing tube, leaving her to die!”

Rubi crooked her mouth and agreed, “She looks like a slut. She doesn’t even deserve to be killed by you!”

Joshua felt like he was burning with rage.

He was about to lose it.

He was mocked by Heidy and Reagan yesterday, yet the resentment he felt couldn’t be compared with today!

Anyone who violated him would suffer!

Anyone who dared to mess with him would pay their price!

Joshua didn’t care about anything anymore. He was about to make a desperate move.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, “Take your dirty hand away from Ms. Palmer!”

The roar was like thunder in the sky.

It drew everyone’s attention.

A group of people came hurrying down the corridor from the elevator.

There were over twenty of them.

The leader was a bald man who was over 6.2 feet tall, and he had a scar under his left

eye.

He was holding a stick in his right hand.

He was intimidating.

The group of people behind him was aggressive, making others not dare to approach him.

Their appearance made the expressions of everyone present change.

Baron’s body trembled, and he swallowed his saliva. “Rex… Rex!”

The rest of the people present couldn’t help but panic when they saw the man.

Joshua also knew him.

It was Rex Felton.

Rex made his fortune in the earthwork business and was a big shot in New York. He had great connections, and everyone treated him seriously.

He looked like a successful businessman, yet he was also friends with the underground,

Surprisingly, Rex walked up to Joshua and bowed respectfully. “Mr. Palmer, sorry that I’m late. Please punish me!”

Everyone widened their eyes.

.

What was going on?

Who was that young man?

Rex apologized to him!

Joshua wasn’t surprised, because he knew from the moment Rex appeared that Rex was sent here by Alfred.

Joshua still felt resentful somehow.

Hence, he replied faintly, “Not that late. Leyla and I are not dead yet!”

Heating Joshua’s words, Rex, who was a famous gangster in New York, trembled and knelt. He was sweating nervously. “Mr. Palmer, it’s my fault! Please spare me! Please give me a chance!”

The reason why Rex was so terrified was because of Alfred’s order a few minutes ago.

Alfred made it very clear that if Joshua suffered any losses in any case, Rex was a dead man!

No matter how powerful Rex was in New York, for Alfred, a real big shot, Rex was just a nobody.

Rex could be made disappear at any second.

The shocking scene made the bystanders faintly realize that the young man surnamed Palmer was not as simple as he looked.

Though Baron was arrogant, he was not a fool. He had already realized that he had made a big mistake.

Trembling, he loosened the breathing tube.

With a sullen face, he explained to Rex, “Rex… It’s just a misunderstanding! It’s not what it looks like…”

Rex turned a deaf ear as he kept kneeling.

He was waiting for Joshua’s answer.

Would Joshua give him a chance?

After ten seconds, Joshua finally said expressionlessly, “He is hospitalized because of his legs!”

His words baffled everyone.

What did he mean?

However, Rex, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up, as if he had been pardoned.

He turned around and looked at the stunned Baron.

Rex swung the stick at Baron’s thigh!

Bang!

A crack echoed in the corridor.
