Useless Son-In-Law Is A Divine Doctor

09: Could Be a Psychological Problem!

The receptionist was taken aback by Adam's sudden outburst. "You can't meet Dr Walker today, so please leave!"

Adam paid her no more heed, checking his watch he returned to his seat. He was willing to wait until the man comes out.

"Excuse me, Mister. The doctor is not available to meet someone like you, leave before I involve the members of the security!" the receptionist was starting to get harsh.

"Someone like me? What do you mean by that?" Adam stood up to ask.

"We always have misers like you come here from time to time, demanding to see the doctor as if you were the one paying his salary!" she spoke condescendingly.

"So because I'm poor, I don't have access to medical care in a federal hospital? Miss Halls, is this what your boss taught you?" Adam was getting riled up already. He glanced down at her ID- Nancy Halls.

She ignored him, and quickly pressed the emergency button her desk. "Please send in a few security men, we have a disturbance."

"Are you going to leave on your own, or get dragged out and humiliated?" she faced him again.

Adam stared into her eyes, his anger getting more inflamed. Everyone around this man was rude!

"I'm the son-in-law to the Hemsworths, a family under the care of Dr Walker! How dare you be rude to me?" He asked angrily.

Adam hadn't meant to use the Hemsworth's name, but now he had no choice. He was willing to do anything to meet Dr Walker today.

Nancy was taken aback, she quickly checked the files for confirmation and saw that even though his name was mentioned as part of the family, he was mentioned to have a low status.

"You have to come with another family member before you can meet him. How can a lowly son-in-law like you have privilege to the Hemworth's influence?"

Just as Adam was about to retaliate harshly, Dr Walker emerged from his office, a small smile on his face. "What's going on here?"

Adam stared at the tall, obese man coldly. He was glad he came out himself though.

"Doctor, this man has been threatening to break in to see you by force!"

"I'm Adam Carson, son-in-law to the Hemsworth family. You treated my sister a few years ago before she passed away, and I'm here to see you regarding those same symptoms." Adam quickly introduced himself.

"Oh, Adam. I can recall you were Seraphina's husband." Dr Walker stared down at him in disgust. "But I'm sorry, I can't offer any assistance right now."

"It's really urgent, doctor. I really need your help!"

Dr Walker rolled his eyes in disdain before nodding reluctantly. "I'll only check for 5 minutes, that's all."

Adam smirked inwardly. That was more than enough time.

When they got into the office, Adam placed his phone on the table, scanning the place with his eyes.

There was a small fridge, with a tray containing fruits and a large kitchen knife beside it.

He walked up to retrieve the tray, bringing it to the table. "I want to cut some fruits for you, doctor. To show my appreciation for how well you cared for my sister 2 years ago."

"Oh, I was only doing my job." Dr Walker smiled normally, not feeling a bit of guilt.

"Your sister died of liver disease and you're claiming to have the same symptoms, what are they?" He picked up a pen.

"Nightmares, seeing my sister everywhere I go, calling me for help and asking why I abandon her for evil people to hurt her!" Adam replied earnestly.

Dr Walker was slightly taken aback. "If that's the case, it seems to be more of a psychological problem, I'll refer you to-"

"I don't need another doctor, I only need the truth, Doctor!" Adam cut in harshly. "My sister died due to your negligence and you helped the Hemsworth family cover it up!"

Dr Walker's expression suddenly changed. "I have no idea what you're talking about, if you would excuse me, I have other things to do. Mr Carson. Kindly leave my office!"

"How much did they pay you to cover it up, huh? I can give you thrice the amount!" He offered.

"Really?" the doctor's ears perked up at the sound of money. "Bring me 600 thousand dollars and I'll give you the truth you're seeking for with proof!"

Adam let out a low menacing laughter. "You aren't so loyal to the Hemsworth after all, but you know what? Not a dime of my money is greasing your palm!"

"I should have known!" Dr Walker scoffed. "A useless son-in-law like you can barely afford to feed himself. Back then, the Lori Hemsworth kept making a fool out of you and you kept believing her!"

"Anyway, I have no other business with trash like you." Dr Walker made to press the emergency button.

With the speed of light, Adam dashed behind him, pressing the knife against his neck. "The moment you press that button, this knife will slit your neck into 2!"

"You..." Dr Walker sucked in a sharp breath, then withdrew his hand from the landline.

Adam grabbed it, pushing it to the floor, far away where Walker couldn't reach it.

"What do you want? Why're you doing this?"

"I want the truth." Adam replied. "Given how Amelia died due to lack of treatment, wouldn't you say its normal for her soul to not rest in peace?"

The doctor froze, his heart skipping a beat. "What're you talking about? Your sister was properly treated before she died."

"You're a despicable liar!" Adam gritted, pressing the knife harder on his throat which drew a small trail of blood. "Let's start with how you gave a wrong diagnosis of liver disease, when in actual fact, she only had tuberculosis!"

"No." Dr Walker tried to talk, but Adam only pressed the knife harder.

"Any more lies and I'll be slitting your throat with one strike!"

"Please, you're hurting me." Dr Walker begged, all his previous arrogance had disappeared.

"Then start telling the truth!"

He sucked in a deep breath. "When your sister came in 2 years ago, she was only down with flu. But Lori wanted to have something to use against you, so she instructed me not to treat her illness."

"A week later, Amelia's condition got worse and she began coughing violently, developing pneumonia and eventually tuberculosis. The girl was on the brink of death when I made a quick call to Lori requesting to treat her."

"But it seems you went against Madam Lori's command at that time, so she instructed me not to treat the girl. That day, I could hear her threatening you in the background! Unfortunately, your sister didn't make it till the next morning."

Anger surged through Adam like a wave. "She sacrificed my sister's life just to make me keep obeying her?" He refused to believe his ears.

"And you, as a doctor. A woman's instruction was more important than saving a patient's life?" Adam gritted coldly.

"At the time, Madam Lori had something on me, so I had no choice than to obey her!" Dr Walker was frightened by the killing intent he could hear in Adam's voice.

Adam laughed. That woman had always been a snake. "So what happened next?"

"Your sister died and was buried."

Adam pressed the knife harder, drawing more blood from his neck. "You're not willing to say the entire truth?"

"That's the truth, please don't kill me." he pleaded shakily.

Adam laughed.

Dr Walker wasn't willing to die, but he could tamper with other people's lives?

Adam grabbed his right hand, stretching it out on the table. "If you don't tell me the truth in the next 5 seconds, I'll slash your thumb off."

"You can do whatever you want, but that's the truth!" He was adamant.

Derek relaxed back, a sinister smile on his face. He opened a photo on his phone and showed it to the doctor. "Guess who?"

"Currie! What have you done to my daughter?" Dr Walker almost flew out of his chair.

Adam was holding a photo of his daughter all tied up and looking scared.

"Are you willing to talk or I order my men to kill her?" Adam snatched the phone back from him

"Wait!" Dr Walker screamed in panic. "Your sister disappeared! I checked the CCTV footage and everywhere, I couldn't find her. There was no way I could tell Madam Lori that the girl had disappeared, she would send an assassin after me!" He confessed sincerely, fear in his eyes.

"Now that's more like it." Adam nodded. "What about the evidence you said you had?"

Dr Walker quickly opened his drawer and handed a flash drive to him. "It contains all the recordings of my interaction with Lori. Please don't hurt my daughter." He pleaded.

"I'll think about it." Adam snatched the flash and removed the knife. "This would surely come handy. You should get prepared for the consequences of your actions!"

He grabbed his phone on the table. "I'm leaving now. For your daughter's good, don't get anyone involved in this, else you'll only have yourself to blame!"

"Of course!" Dr Walker nodded vigorously, his face field with panic.

Adam hasn't as much as closed the door when he heard the man summoning the security. "Shit!"

Thankfully, he'd been here enough times to know the layout of the hospital.

He quickly located the store room, and changed into patient uniform, before making his way stealthily through the crowd.

While the security were running up and down the hall in search of the criminal that just tried to murder a doctor, Adam got out through the VVIP garage and waved down a taxi.

Of course, the photo was edited. Currie was still at her daycare safe and sound. Adam had been tempted to abduct her, but he reckoned that it all wasn't worth it tarnishing his image.

"Some people never learn." He gritted. "Dr Walker, you're one of them, lets see how you will end!"
