Delyth was taken aback, her face red in embarrassment. She knew convincing Dr. Clark would be difficult, but she never knew it would be so humiliating. She might be in a wheelchair now, but she was the country’s renowned ballet dancer. How could he demean her like that?
"Dr. Clark, I —"
"Enough!" Jason snapped. His voice wasn’t loud, but it was so cold that it almost froze the crowd around them. "Don’t cross my patience, Ms. Ember. I might be warm and gentle to my patients, but I won’t sit back and casually take people badmouthing my family."
The doctors, nurse and Delyth flinched, and so did Dr. Cred. For a moment, dreadful silence filled the air as if everyone was scared to make any noise. But after the briefest second, people recovered.
The nurses who had just attended the conference started first. Their voices were merely a whisper but given how to silence the air around, it rang clear to the ears.
"We just praised his voice as charismatic; never imagined it to be scary at moments too."
"True, this woman is also acting strange. Why does she have to pretend like this? If she doesn’t know Dr Clark, why does she have to speak like she has known him for ages?"
"Oh, you don’t know, she is desperate to get her legs treated. Her boyfriend has also arranged the best surgeon for her, but she didn’t look satisfied. I heard from Lily that she was even giving a hard time to Jena, asking her to bring Dr. Clark for her."
"How crazy? Does she not know that Dr. Clark doesn’t practice in our hospital."
Those comments only doubled Delyth’s embarrassment. Shaking her head, she glared at the nurses and shouted, "I am not crazy. I just want Dr. Clark to treat me, treat my legs. What’s crazy about that? If you were in my situation, wouldn’t you want the best doctor to treat you as well?"
"We might, obviously," one of the nurses replied, her tone a bit haughty with righteousness, "But for that, I won’t pretend to have fake relationships with her. That’s disgraceful."
"You —"
Dr. Cred cleared his throat, giving a side glare to the nurses. Understanding his warning, the nurse no longer spoke. He then turned to Delyth and frowned. Shifting his gaze to the nurse, he signalled to take away her and the nurse nodded to him, before leaning in to pry away Delyth’s fingers that were clutching the wheel.
Getting frantic, Delyth was about to yell and shout when Ryan’s voice gave her some hope.
