NovelEnglishChapter 213 The security guard gave him passage. James pushed the door open. The Callahans
gathered in the hallway of the hospital.
Wearing a worried expression, they paced back and forth.
James approached them and asked, “What happened?” With a tearful voice, Thea explained, “We
don’t know either. A bunch of people appeared out of nowhere and started to stir up trouble. They said
someone died in our hospital and demanded compensation. Now that they’ve made a big scene, even
the reporters have made their way here. We had no choice but to close the hospital temporarily.”
Lex was on the phone. He was calling some big shots to help resolve the crisis.
“You reek of alcohol. Why are you here? Are you here to cause more trouble for us?” Gladys rebuked
James upon smelling a whiff of alcohol on him.
“Dad, grandpa, this is bad. There are now more people outside. They’re saying there’s something’s
wrong with our medicine.” Tommy ran in in a panic. He lost his footing and collapsed to the floor.
Upon hearing this, they fell silent.
“What’s going on?” Howard was puzzled. “Eternality Hospital has been operating for many years, and
there’s never been an accident. Mr. Chase, you’re in charge of this place. Even a single accident would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbe unacceptable, so how on earth did so many occur at once?”
Howard looked at an elderly.
The man was sixty years of age. He was wearing a scrub and had long hair.
His name was Zeke Chase. He was a distinguished doctor and a member of the Doctor’s Association.
He was a well-paid doctor appointed by Eternality Group to be in charge of the hospital.
“I-I don’t know either.” Zeke was puzzled too. No accidents had occurred for as long as he was in
charge. Besides, the doctors had to undergo a rigorous selection process. There should not be
anything wrong with the medicine they prescribe. How could someone die because of it?
Thea pulled James’ arm. “What should we do now?”
James lightly waved and consoled her, “No worries. Shutting down the hospital won’t resolve anything.
It’ll make us look even more guilty. Open the door. We can communicate with them.” “Communicate?
How?” Tommy yelled, “James, are you here to cause trouble? Did you not see how brutal those people
outside were? If we open the door, they’ll rush in and beat the hell out of us.”
“Exactly.”
“We shouldn’t open the door.”
“Let’s call the cops.”
“It’s useless. This accident constitutes medical negligence. We should just pay the compensation and
get this over with. After all, if the reputation of Eternality Hospital is ruined, how are we supposed to
continue running our business?”
Everyone gave their opinions. James looked at Thea. “Thea, you’re the chairman of Eternality Group.
What do you think?” Thea thought about it. “James is right. Nothing will be resolved if we shut our
doors. We can only open our doors and explain things to them. If it’s our doctors’ fault, we’ll accept
whatever punishment comes our way. If we have to pay compensation, we’ll pay. If we have to shut the
hospital down for reorganization, then so be it.”
“How foolish of you, Thea. Anyone can see there’s someone out there targeting Eternality Hospital.”
“That’s right. There’s no way so many of them would appear all at once. How could this be a
coincidence?”
“Thea, you shouldn’t open the door. We’ll get beaten up.” The Callahans were in disagreement.
James, on the other hand, was supportive of Thea’s decision.
Thankfully, there was still a sensible person among the Callahans. Otherwise, the family would be
doomed.
He looked at Thea. “Open it. I’ll be here to help you out.”
“I know.”
Thea took a deep breath. Then, she headed toward the front door. Upon seeing this, the rest of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCallahans took a few steps back They had seen how ferocious the men outside were. Before they had
closed the door, many of them had already been beaten. Things would get ugly if the security guards
could not stop them from rushing in. The hundreds of men outside were making a lot of commotion.
Besides, their numbers were growing. Their cheeks were swelling, and they had bandages wrapped all
over their bodies. They sat in front of Eternality Group and wailed in pain.
At that moment, the front door of Eternality Hospital opened. A beautiful woman walked out. “We
demand compensation.”
“Down with Eternality!”
“This is Thea Callahan, the new chairman of the Callahans.”
“Thea, pay with your blood…”
The moment Thea walked out, the people outside lost control and scrambled toward her.
“Stand back!”
James roared.
His roar was akin to that of a thunderclap. The people outside the hospital froze.
James stood in front of Thea. “If you have anything to say, do it one by one.”
