Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 16 He Was Behind Her, But She Didn't Know It

"Dr. Watson! Come with me!"

The moment Riley was nearly beaten by the patient's family, Teddy yanked her by the wrist and pulled

her into the elevator!

As the elevator doors closed quickly, the horrific images of the patient's family howling and waving their

fists like madmen were still unfolding in Riley's vision.

Leaning her back against the wall of the elevator, Riley hadn't yet recovered from the fright. The scene

just now was too horrible, it was the first time since she became a doctor that she encountered a

medical disturbance, and it was so crazy.

Teddy looked at Riley with concern and tried to console her, "Are you okay?"

Riley nodded, "Thank you."

Teddy saw the beads of sweat on Riley's forehead and was still uneasy. "You're not on duty today. Why

are you in the hospital? You'd better not show up during this extraordinary period and wait for this storm

to pass. They just think female attending doctors are easy to bully."

"In that case, I'll have to prove to them that female doctors aren't easy to bully."

The elevator slowly descended while Teddy's expression stayed frozen. "Are you going to play hardball

with these people? Dr. Watson, these families who have just lost their beloved are irrational, so there's

no point in reasoning with them! Got it? You shouldn’t take any chances."

Riley glanced sideways at Teddy, who was wearing a white coat and holding a medical record folder.

He looked very refined and clearly didn't want to make a big deal out of this case.

"Now that it has happened, I can't just sit back and do nothing. I'm the patient's attending doctor, so I

can't avoid responsibility at any time. Thank you for your help just now, you may go on patient rounds

now."

Midway through the elevator's descent, Riley pressed a numbered button and left the elevator earlier.

"Dr. Wilson, don't be impulsive! Dean Houston and Director Patrick are working on a solution!"

But with the closing of the elevator doors, Teddy's voice was all isolated in the elevator

Riley went directly to Boris's office.

Seeing that the comer was Riley, Boris pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Why are you

here? Are you coming to the hospital at this time to be beaten alive by the patient's family?"

Riley bowed to express her gratitude, "Dean Houston, thank you very much for explaining on behalf of

me just now, but the deceased was my patient. I can't shirk my responsibility, and I have an obligation

to explain the facts. If I don't come forward, it will only make people think that the hospital is hiding

something, so I want to examine the corpse."

Boris narrowed his cloudy eyes sharply, held his glasses in one hand and stared at Riley like a ghost.

"Riley, are you crazy? Examining a corpse? I've already read through the patient's medical records. He

was indeed admitted to the hospital for acute myocardial infarction and had no other medical history."

Riley nodded, "I know, but I can't guarantee that the patient didn't have other symptoms before the

outbreak."

At this time, the chief of the internal medicine department, who was in over his head because of the

medical disturbance, also rushed to Boris's office. When he saw that Riley was also there, he rubbed

his half-bald head and said, "Dean Houston, the patient's family is burning joss paper at the entrance of

the hospital. They've even put up the banners, apparently trying to blackmail us."

Three of them stood by the window and looked down at the banner hanging in front of the hospital. A

large number of joss paper ashes were scattered at the hospital entrance, while the patient's family

was dressed in white mourning clothes, kneeling and lamenting at the entrance in an exaggerated

display.

Riley frowned and said, "It seems they are really after the money. Dean Houston, Director Patrick, if we

concede and give them money to buy silence, we will only encourage this unhealthy tendency. This

approach is only a temporary solution and doesn't cure the root cause in the long run."

Boris took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes, "What is your solution to this matter? Tell

me what you think."

The faces of Freya and her mother suddenly came to Riley’s mind. All those years, it was because she

didn't want to fight for anything that they kept stepping on her shoulders to climb to the pinnacle of

power in the Watson family.

Damn it!

"I insist on an autopsy of the deceased's body and ask a forensic expert to be a notary. If it was a

mistake in my treatment, I will take responsibility and will definitely not cause any trouble to the

hospital. However, if it is the patient's personal problem, I will ask the family to apologize to the

hospital, and will never be perfunctory about this matter."

Riley's words were reasonable. Boris and Simon looked at each other and agreed after consideration,

but the problem was, "The family of the deceased may not agree to an autopsy...Riley, you'd better be

mentally prepared."

Riley nodded, even though it would be difficult, she would never allow anyone to sling mud at her and

vilify her reputation.

Simon said, "It's certainly good that Dr. Watson has an abhorrence of sin and couldn't turn a blind eye

to it, but…based on the current situation, do you think..."

"Director Patrick, a man of moral integrity doesn't fear any slanderous attack. Please don't worry, I'll

deal with it."

Boris then made a phone call, "Security team, send ten men over to escort Dr. Watson."

"Unscrupulous doctors, trampling on human lives!"

"Give me back the life! Give me back my hard-earned money!"

Riley walked out of the outpatient building with a few security personnel. The hospital courtyard was

hung all over with white banners. These white cloths with black writing were even stained with "blood"

that had been splashed with scarlet ink.

At the beginning, there were only about seven family members, but at this point…

Well, now there were about seventy people!

The patient was a native of JD City. According to this number, it appeared that his family had gathered

people they knew from several kilometers around.

"Thump!"

An egg was smashed fair and square on Riley, and the yolk stained her white shirt and soiled her entire

chest!

"Give me back the life!

"Bitch doctor, get the hell out of the hospital!"

"Black-hearted hospital, return our hard-earned money!"

The family roared out of control again as the second egg smashed to Riley and was quickly deflected

by a security guard with his own back!

"Dr. Watson, this isn't going to work. You go inside and leave this to us."

Riley wiped the egg yolk off her body and then looked at the people who were crazy about money

without batting an eye...

At this moment, in the office on the top floor of MKB International Corporation. Euan, who had returned

to his office after a meeting, unintentionally turned on the display screen hanging on the wall, and when

his finger was about to switch the channel to financial news, his action was stopped forcibly by a

woman's face on the screen.

Riley, who had been pelted by the eggs, and dozens of protestors looked at each other. In a serious © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

and biting voice she said, "I'm Riley, Ernest's attending doctor…"

Next, Riley gave a detailed explanation of the patient's condition. She acted sensibly and objectively

from the beginning to the end, without the slightest fear and trepidation.

While outside the TV, Euan was gently pinching the remote control with his slender fingers. The

reporters were reporting live, and Riley on the screen was struggling to explain something, but

apparently none of them wanted to listen to her.

Her long, disheveled hair trailed over her shoulders, and her face was a little pale. Euan looked down

from her dirty shirt, and his gaze lingered on her knee, where her injured leg was trembling gently.

"Therefore, I would like your permission for the hospital to perform an autopsy on the patient's body.

Regarding the real cause of death of the patient, I'll give you all a satisfactory answer after I find out. If

it was my mistake, I'll apologize to you and compensate you for all your losses."

As Euan watched the news to this point, he made an internal call.

"Come in for a minute."

Euan's eyes, deep as an abyss, were fixed on Riley. Her suggestion was rejected on the spot, and she

had infuriated the family of the deceased.

The scene was out of control. The limited security personnel couldn't resist the bare-knuckle attack of

the large number of the family members, but they also didn't dare to fight hard with the family members

with their real skills, so they had no choice but to be forced back step by step!

"Riley Watson! My son was killed alive by you! You must get down on your knees and apologize now!"

"Kneel down! Kowtow! Admit your mistake!"

"Riley, you're a murderer! You killed someone!"

A burly bruiser punched a security guard to the ground, then his big, steel-like hands grabbed Riley's

slender wrist and slammed her to the ground fiercely!

"Pow!"

Riley lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground!

The friction and vibration between the white floor and Riley's two knees made it too painful for Riley to

stand up.

The new and old wounds had drained all the color from Riley's face. All she could feel was a buzzing in

her ears and she couldn't hear what others were saying.

"The police are here!"

"Police! Hurry up! Police!"

The siren of the police car grew clearer and Riley was helped to her feet. She propped her eyes open

and saw several uniformed men approaching and standing straight in front of her.

"Miss Watson, we will investigate this medical disturbance, and we hope you will cooperate with us."

What?

The police had already consciously ruled this matter as a medical disturbance?

It was the first time in her life that Riley was taken to the police station to make a statement, and she

was in an uncharacteristically bad mood.

After making the statement, Riley got the consent form for the autopsy. A dozen family members, who

were brought to the police station with Riley, stared at Riley viciously, "Just wait and see. If Ernest was

killed by you, I will not let you go!"

One of the police officers scolded sternly, "Do you still dare to threaten the client in front of the police?"

A dozen people were then silenced.

Riley nodded, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it, it's just part of our job. We've sent the forensic expert to the hospital, and when the

autopsy results come out, everything will be clear."

Since Riley had been injured in the earlier incident, she was allowed to stay out of the autopsy. Riley,

who was in pain, staggered out of the police station. Looking at the blue sky, she felt a lot of emotions

in her heart.

Her life had been so damn eventful lately.

In the reception room of the police station.

Elijah shook the police officers' hand, "Thank you very much! You all have worked so hard!"

Captain Hunt saluted and smiled, "It's not hard work at all. For Mr. George's case, we'll definitely

handle it properly. Mr. Parker, you can ask Mr. George to rest assured when you go back. We

guarantee that something like a medical disturbance won't happen again."

Elijah said, "If so, that's the best. JD Central Hospital is the ace hospital in JD City. No one wants to

have a bad time."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As Elijah walked out of the police station, he saw Riley standing not far away waving for a cab. Just

then the phone number he had dialed was connected.

"Boss, the matter has been settled and Young Mistress is fine…Her leg? Young Mistress's leg seems to

be…Yes, boss, I'll go now…"

When Elijah was about to pick up Riley, a white Aston Martin pulled up in front of her. The driver slowly

rolled down the window and it was Hendrix!

"Sister-in-law, you're now an overnight sensation! Your video on the Internet has been seen by more

than half of the Chinese people."

Riley snorted, "Are you here to troll me?"

"Of course not! I've come especially to take you, the white angel, home. Come on, get in the car. That

bastard just hit you hard, don't worry, I'll help you screw him up."

Riley found it difficult to get a taxi here, so she pulled open the door and got into the back seat.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Elijah stopped talking, Euan asked impatiently.

Elijah swallowed nervously, "Uh…Boss, just now Young Mistress… she has been picked up…"

"By whom?" Euan's voice was so cold that even his cold breath could come through the microphone.

Elijah replied, "…by…by Master Hendrix."
