Chapter 179 Simple?
Penny and her family stared at Nathan wide-eyed, taken aback at his words.
Nathan continued, âIâll call Dr. Rothschild and get him to come from North Army General Hospital to operate on the patients.â
The family members beamed with delight and chipped in, âAre you serious? Donât try to fool us. We wonât let you off easy!â
Penny was anxious upon hearing his words. âNathan, donât overpromise them. Itâs not easy to get a hold of Dr. Rothschild.â
âRumor has it that even a tycoon could not even get Dr. Rothschild to operate on him, even after offering him a billion.â
Nathan knew the tycoon was uncharitable with his wealth. It was because of this that Dr. Rothschild had refused to save him.
Plus, Nathan Cross was the general of the Northern army. Dr. Rothschild had been the one to suture his wounds every single time.
It would not be an overstatement to say that Dr. Rothschild was Nathan Crossâs personal doctor.
Nathan grinned, âThough other people might not be able to get Dr. Rothschild for a billion, I can get him rushing to my aid with only ten.â
The family members at the scene were dumbfounded. They realized that he was not only overclaiming but even bluffing them!
The tycoon could not even get Dr. Rothschild with ten billion, yet youâre telling us that you could get him with only ten bucks?
Who do you think you are? The Northern General?
Penny panicked and added, âNathan, I beg you to stop messing around. Please stop making things worse.â
She chased Nathan out of the ICU afterwards.
She did not want him to aggravate the family members further and get beaten up in the end.
Nathan could only smile bitterly after being chased out by Penny.
He went to a place with nobody around and took out his phone to call Dr. Rothschild who was thousands of miles away. He ordered, âDr, please come to Channing and help me save a few severely injured people.â
Nathan went back to the ICU after he was done making the call.
In the corridor, Penny was trying to soothe the family members. Even though she could not get the irreplaceable Dr. Rothschild, she would try her best to get the most well-known surgeon in all of Channing, Dr. Richard Steele, to operate on the patients.
She vowed to save the three severely injured workersâ lives, no matter the cost.
Dr. Steele wasnât a nobody. It was said that he was Dr. Rothschildâs student and an excellent surgeon.
However, he was the primary surgeon at a private hospital and his fees were exorbitant.
His charges would easily surpass millions, to a point where Dr. Steele had been coined âDoctor for the Richâ at Channing.
The family members were finally at ease after hearing that Penny would invite Dr. Steele to operate on the workers.
After all, Dr. Richard Steele was a well-known doctor and charged a hefty amount too.
He was also Dr. Rothschildâs student.
It would a win-win situation to be able to ask Dr. Steele to operate on the workers.
Nathan walked over, âHoney, thereâs no need to invite the exorbitantly-priced surgeon. Iâve already called Dr. Rothschild to come to Channing to operate on the workers.â
Penny did not wait for him to finish and interjected, âPlease just shut up!â
Penny dragged Nathan away afterwards, afraid he might cause a ruckus with him overclaiming things.
Nathan could only put on a bitter smile as he was dragged out of the hospital by his wife.
Nathan asked Penny where they were heading when both of them got in the car.
Penny replied, âTo the Adventist Private Hospital. Weâre going to get Dr. Steele to operate on the three workers.â
Nathan was helpless and added, âHoney, Iâve already told you that Iâve called Dr. Rothschild to come to Channing...â
Penny did not believe him at all and could not help but be frustrated at his delusion, âRight. Stop bluffing and drive to the Adventist Private Hospital.â
Nathan felt helpless at his wifeâs demeanor. However, he thought it could be quite taxing for Dr. Rothschild to operate on three workers consecutively as he was already getting on in age.
Since this Richard Steele used to be Dr. Rothschildâs student, it would not be a bad idea to ask him to be the secondary surgeon to lessen Dr. Rothschildâs burden.
So, he complied and drove toward Adventist Private Hospital.
