The operating room was a whirlwind of chaos, and it was enough to make my head spin.
“Antonio, you’re a dead man!” I roared.
The lead surgeon was trembling so badly that he could barely grip his scalpel.
Once he realized what was happening, he lashed out at us, “This is a hospital! You can’t just storm in here without permission!”
Duncan wasn’t having any of it. He charged over and sent the surgeon flying with a kick. “Who said you could lay a hand on my niece?”
The surgeon’s glasses went flying, and his hand hit the wall, making him wince in pain as he yelled at the cops, “Officers, look! They broke in here and attacked me! I’m going to sue them!”
Caroline, seeing the surgeon on the floor, stormed over to help him find his glasses, fuming. “This operation was supposed to be overseen by Dr. Parrish. If he finds out you’ve hurt his best student, you’ll be facing a lawsuit that’ll leave you broke!”
Tristan just laughed it off, “Oh? I didn’t know I was the one who taught you to go after my niece’s kidney.”
“If we had to pay up to the point of going bankrupt, you wouldn’t know what to do with all that cash,” Tristan added with a sneer.
The surgeon, still trying to play it cool, looked at Tristan as he
approached, “My mentor is famous, but not everyone who shares his name is worthy of his reputation.”
The surgeon got his glasses back from Caroline and his vision was clear.
He did a double–take when he recognized Tristan’s face. His bravado. disappeared, and he looked terrified, cowering against the wall. “M- Mr. Parrish…”
His face was a picture of fear. Caroline and Antonio could sense that something wasn’t right.
Linda, on the other hand, was like a cat on hot bricks.
