“Haha! Do you think pretending to be dead will work on

me?” Joel swaggered out of the room and saw

Alessandra lying on the ground in pain. Not only did he

not show any sympathy, but he also remarked

sarcastically, “It’s not going to work, but I might pray for

you if you were to die here!”

The medical staff at the scene couldn’t help but think

that Joel was inhumane and too arrogant.

A VIP ward was located at the end of the corridor,

which was reserved for their distinguished customers.

Since the Quillen family was one of the hospital investors, Mackenzie was also staying in that VIP

ward.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lexi couldn’t stop herself

from exiting the ward and checking things out. After

that, she rushed back into the ward and exclaimed,

“Things don’t look good, Ms. Quillen! Emmanuel’s mom

is lying on the floor in the corridor.”

Mackenzie narrowed her eyes in response. After giving

it some thought, she endured the pain of her stomach flu and went to the entrance to check the

situation out.

At that moment, Emmanuel was clenching his fists, but

he wasn’t having a go at Joel. Instead, he was busy

trying to lessen the pain Alessandra was suffering

from.

“He’s a patient man! If it were me, I would’ve started beating that bald man up!” Lexi grumbled.

On the other hand, Mackenzie was smiling, and it seemed like she had a different viewpoint. “Have you

not heard about a saying, Lexi?”

“Huh? What is it, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi was slightly stumped.

“To lose patience is to lose the battle,” Mackenzie

revealed.

Lexi shuddered lightly, and she seemed to have

understood what Mackenzie said. Is Ms. Quillen *

admiring Emmanuel’s patience?

Indeed, if Emmanuel were to beat Joel up, he would

only worsen the situation. In fact, Alessandra could

even get kicked out of the hospital. When Emmanuel

chose to treat Alessandra, not only was he making her

feel better, but he was also avoiding unnecessary

conflicts. Hence, he knew his priority was to get a room

for Alessandra.

“Haha! You can play dead all you want! I’m never

letting you have this room!” Joel provoked Emmanuel

and Alessandra again before returning to his ward,

crossing his legs, and lying on the bed leisurely.

Seeing that, a lot of the medical staff were murmuring

among themselves.

Emmanuel, however, merely kept mum and brought

Alessandra away from there.

Since there wasn’t any empty ward in the internal

medicine department, Emmanuel had to bring

Alessandra to Department of Gynecology. Once he

settled Alessandra down, he looked forward to settling

scores with Joel.

The moment the commotion in the corridor subsided,

someone opened the door to Joel’s ward.

“Who the f*ck is it this time around?” Joel was

annoyed. Why is staying in this hospital such a hassle?

When he saw two beautiful ladies walking in, he

immediately got out of bed and smiled respectfully.

“Hi, Ms. Quillen. What brought you here?”

Mackenzie wasn’t in the mood to chat with him, so she

asked, “I want this ward. May I have it?”

“What?” Joel froze momentarily. What’s with this ward?

Why are so many people after it?

“Quick! Give me an answer!” Mackenzie shot him a

sharp gaze.

Joel shivered when he saw the look in Mackenzie’s

eyes. How can I say no to her?

Since Joel’s company was working on a collaboration

with Terence Group, he knew he was at Mackenzie’s

mercy.

“Haha! It’s an honor to be staying in the same ward as

you, Ms. Quillen!” Joel uttered.

“Cut the crap! Buzz off!” Mackenzie roared.

“Yes! I heard you!” Joel, who was behaving arrogantly

just moments prior, didn’t even dare to get changed

before running out of the room,

Obviously, he couldn’t afford to mess with Mackenzie.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Alessandra were at the front desk checking if any ward was available.

Suddenly, he received a text from a nurse on

WhatsApp telling him that a room was available in the

internal medicine department, and it was ready for

them.

Emmanuel was puzzled, and he quickly thanked the

nurse and brought Alessandra back to the ward.

When the nurse led them to the ward, they were

surprised to find it was the same room as before, but

Joel was nowhere to be seen.

“What happened? Who helped me?” Emmanuel asked

curiously. Someone must’ve helped me. Otherwise, this

wouldn’t have happened. That bald man said there.

was no way he would give up the ward. Yet, everything

changed all of a sudden.

The nurse shook her head in response, indicating that

she knew nothing about it.
