In a jiffy, Jordan reaches Natasha and stoops down before her. With a casual yank, he rips off her bindings and Natasha, not having any grip on herself, falls into him."Jordan," she whispers feverishly, her hot breath fanning his skin and tears streaming down her cheeks. "You are here. You came for me. Thank you for coming. Please, take me out of here. Everything hurts. Everywhere hurts. My face burns. It burns so much... as if it's on fire," she clings onto him so tightly as if he would disappear if she leaves him, hiccups escaping her lips.Natasha doesn't think she has ever been this hurt in her entire life. And the fact that a fellow lady did this to her makes the pain even more painful. But as she recalls that Jordan is here now, she lets out a breath, relief washing over her, and slumps, slipping into unconsciousness.Jordan lets out a heavy sigh as he glances at the woman in his arms. Just last night, she had almost gotten assaulted by a former classmate, and now this. She k
After several minutes of cutting through streets in search of a hospital, the car finally pulls over in front of a gigantic hospital with the name RoyalView Medical Spa and the driver kills the engine. "We are...," he tries to say but Jordan doesn't let him finish as he abruptly tosses his payment to him, carries Natasha, and alights, slamming the door shut. Natasha's face is so battered and bloody and he can only hope the hospital can provide the necessary treatment to address her injuries and prevent any lasting scars. He knows what a nightmare it would be for her if she is left with any scars. Luckily, he had intervened in time, just before Daisy could finish her ridiculous masterpiece.Without further ado, he strides into the hospital, heading straight for the Emergency Department. He wishes for Natasha to be attended to as soon as possible and as such, he can only head there. However, as Jordan steps into the ER, he's confronted with a shocking sight. Instead of the expected effi
"Who dares ask if my father has been registered when he's on the brink of death and urgently requires attention?" Before the scared and shocked nurses can respond, a frosty and imposing voice demands, and a tall, fair muscular young man dressed in opulent attire strides into the department, carrying himself with an air of arrogance as if he owns the place.Without sparing anyone in the room a glance, he waltzes over to the doctor, disdainfully glancing at his hand on the stretcher, and repeats, "I said who dares ask if my father has been registered when he's on the brink of death and urgently requires attention? Can't the riffraff speak anymore or has he become deaf and dumb?""Uhm," the doctor swallows a lump of spittle. "K... kind sir," he stammers, breaking out in a cold sweat. "The thing is we have rules in this hospital. Your father...""What about my father?" The young man interrupts, his voice growing colder, and a dark expression clouding his face."Nothing, kind sir," wiping
Hearing the doctor's words, a young man snorts with cold disdain, his face contorted with anger. "Hah!" He sucks his teeth and stomps his foot as he confronts the doctor, saying, "You're not only inhumane, heartless, and ruthless, but you're also a liar and a hypocrite! How dare you invoke the rules when you clearly broke them by allowing that man's father in without registration?""And who are you to question my decisions?" The doctor retorts indifferently, staring at him condescendingly. Remaining unapologetic of his actions, he declares resolutely, "You don't tell me how to run things in this hospital! I'm in charge here and you have to abide by my words! It doesn't concern you whom I allow to bend the rules. Get that into your dumb head!"Jordan twists his head in disbelief, chuckling wryly. The doctor's demeanor keeps leaving him astonished over and over again. Like, not only is he a hypocrite and so thick-skinned, but he is also so saucy. His behavior sucks in every way, making
The nurses and crowd are in a state of disbelief as they watch the unexpected scene unfolding before their very eyes, to the point that their mouths are literally dropping to the floor. They never expected anyone to be so audacious as to confront Doctor Sean in such a manner."Oh my goodness, that guy did not only cut Doctor Sean's wrist but he also stopped him from leaving to get any medical attention, who on earth is he?" One of the nurses whispers to her colleague and grabs her arm, her curiosity reaching its zenith."I have no clue who he is," the other nurse replies, her voice filled with a mixture of admiration and concern. "But I must say, he's either incredibly bold or incredibly foolish for what he just did. It's hard to decide whether to applaud him for his bravery or condemn him for his recklessness.""Indeed, Doctor Sean's status and reputation are formidable," another nurse chimes, seeing point with her colleague. "It's usually only those with an extraordinary background
"You... you are so heartless!" Doctor Sean's voice trembles with frustration and rage. "You did this to me yet you're grinning! You're actually enjoying this! I'm losing a dangerous amount of blood, and the only thing I need is immediate treatment! You might have severed a vein! "Now, get your hand off my coat so I can go! Let me go right now! I don't have any time to waste! And trust me, you won't want to provoke me any further!""Bold of you to accuse me of being so heartless when you are the epitome of heartlessness yourself!" Jordan scoffs. "And wait, did you say I won't want to provoke you any further? Hmph, you are just a mere doctor, what can you possibly do?"You couldn't do anything when I slit your wrist, what can you do now?" He rolls his eyes. "Anyways, it seems that, according to your own words and actions, no matter what the issue may be, the patient has to wait till he or she has been registered. "Or isn't that what you said?" he continues, a wry smile playing on his l
At the cold words of the young man, a heavy silence envelops the ER, with the nurses and crowd wide-eyed in shock, a sudden and overwhelming tension settling over the room. Their blood runs cold, and most of the nurses instinctively let go of the stretchers and hide behind each other's backs, desperately avoiding the piercing and icy gaze of the young man, which feels like it could sear through their skin."Kind sir, there are numerous wards in the hospital. If you wish, I can arrange for your father to be transferred to the main building where he would have his own exclusive ward while these patients have the departments in the ER," taking a deep breath, Doctor Sean approaches the young man and says courteously, seemingly trying to please him while also not displeasing Jordan, who had forced him to give attention to the other patients.However, the young man, seemingly aware of Doctor Sean's intentions and not willing to entertain them, frowns and abruptly raises his palm, delivering
Doctor Sean clenches his fists, the intense urge to slap back the young man rocking through his veins like a tornado, but as he gazes at the menacing sturdy figures behind him and also remembers that he doesn't yet know his real identity, he takes a deep breath to soothe his frustration and says bitterly, "I was only trying to please you. Did you really need to slap me?"The young man's demeanor shifts, and he adopts a mocking tone as he approaches Doctor Sean, who is nursing his injury. "Aww, you are hurt?" As he gets to him and takes a closer look at his bitter expression, he drawls, puckering his lips and chuckling. "Come on, don't be such a baby. It was just a mere slap. Stomach it like the man you are," he pats him on the shoulder."By the way, I don't want you to make a mistake of assuming what isn't right so let me be clear," he continues, his tone growing sinister. "I didn't slap you because of what you said. Heck, I don't even care about whatever you say because, in the end,
