“I refuse to believe that there’s no order!” Ms. Tiana said in distress.
Just then, Jasper reached out to place a hand on Ms. Tiana’s shoulder. He pointed at the other woman and asked, “Did this woman stole the hospital room Wendy arranged for you?”
Ms. Tiana did not hide from Jasper anymore and told him, “I already had a room the first day I transferred over, but then this doctor suddenly told me to move out. I thought something was wrong, and turns out they wanted to give this woman a place.”
Ms. Tiana pointed at the middle aged doctor next to the woman when she said ‘doctor’.
“I told them I came first, that my illness is severe, that l have to do surgery soon, but they refused to listen and immediately asked people to throw my things out. I was alone against them, so I had no choice but to wait here.”
Jasper suppressed the anger he felt and turned to look at the expressionless doctor to say, “Give me a reason.”
The middle aged doctor slowly pushed up his glasses and replied, “Reason? For what?”
“Why you threw out a patient from their room. Who gave you the courage and right to do that?”
Jasper shouted forcefully.
Being of high status, Jasper dealt with society’s most sophisticated people every day. He was no longer the immature and small businessman from before.
Thus, the doctor was stunned by Jasper’s shout. However, he reacted immediately.
As if feeling embarrassed by the fact that Jasper shouted at him, the doctor replied tensely, “I’m the deputy director of the inpatient department. I decide who stays in the hospital and who doesn’t! Who are you to demand a reason from me? Why do I have to give you any reason?”
“Do you even know anything about the hospital? What can you say if I claim that her illness is even more severe?”
The middle aged doctor pointed at the woman by his side as he sneered and taunted.
The woman snorted and said, “You’re from the villages, aren’t you? How unsophisticated. You think that just because you can shout, that it makes you powerful?”
“Society is rather straightforward. People with authority have special powers. Don’t like it? Then become someone with authority. Ridiculous foreigner.”
“So, to you people, authority is what allows you to disregard a patient’s health?” Jasper asked icily.
The middle aged doctor snorted and said, “Are you crazy, young man? Don’t think that just because you’ve read a few books and know a bit of knowledge, that suddenly you have the right to argue with me.
“Do you know where you are, right now? This is a hospital!”
“Not a place where people like you can solve problems through shouting!”
“Look at how many patients there are outside! All of them are lining up to be hospitalized, and all this? I…”
The middle aged doctor then pointed at his own nose and said arrogantly, “Get to decide!”
“This old woman would still have been allowed to line up for a room before this, but let me tell you right now! She can die here for all I care, and I still won’t give her a hospital room!”
The doctor then pointed at Jasper and scolded, “You unsophisticated outsider! This is a lesson for you. Don’t start shouting wherever you go, it’ll only tell people how low classed you are! Understood, outsider?”
“That’s right! You’re nothing more than a dog! You know nothing and yet you dare to shout at Mr. Wheatley? ” The woman agreed.
“Jasper.”
Ms. Tiana tugged Jasper’s clothes and sighed. “It’s alright Let’s just go to another hospital. l wouldn’t dare to let such an unethical doctor treat me either.”
However, Jasper held Ms. Tiana back and said, “No, Ms. Tiana. We will stay here tonight. He’s just a deputy director of the inpatient department. He doesn’t have the right to treat you. Don’t worry.”
