Chapter 91-3
Not A Small-Town Girl
be. David was a major benefactor of the hospital, having funded many of the advanced medical devices here.
This was why Taraâs condition was always a top priority for them. Unfortunately, they had yet to find a better solution.
Davidâs deep voice could be heard as he said, "Iâve been here for quite a while." However, his attention remained fixed on Danielle, and he didnât even look at Lennon.
Then, Lennon said, "Mr. Charrington, regarding Taraâs condition, we..."
He turned around and saw that Taraâs head was covered in silver needles, looking like a hedgehog. He walked up to Taraâs bed in a panic and said, "Oh my... what is this? How can my patient be treated like this? How come so many needles have been stuck into her? Oh my God, who exactly did this...
"Mr. Charrington, please forgive the oversight on our part. We failed to notice the thief who snuck into the ward and dared to harm Tara..." Danielle thought, âIs he calling me a thief?â
Lennonâs eyes widened. His mouth was agape, so much so that an egg could fit inside. He was somewhat flustered and unsure of what to do as he looked at David.
Then, he looked at Tara with some self-blame and said, "How do you caregivers take care of Mrs. Charrington? Look at what she has turned into. My God, this is too much suffering."
As he spoke, he wanted to remove the silver needles from Taraâs head.
"Donât touch them," Danielle said. Her voice resounded throughout the ward.
Lennon was so frightened that he really didnât dare to move. He slowly explained, "Beautiful lady, Mrs. Charringtonâs condition is very serious. I want to remove these needles. I donât know which thief did this to Mrs. Charrington, but I want to save her."
Danielle was speechless as she looked at Lennon, who was panicking. She thought, âI went through all the trouble to perform the acupuncture, but he came in and said Iâm a thief. Now, he even wants to remove the needles I carefully placed.
"Iâm the one who did it," she said. "Donât you know anything about traditional medicine?"
"What?" Lennon said. "You were the one who placed those needles. How could you treat Mrs. Charrington as you pleased... Mr. Charrington, hurry up and catch this thief."
Lennon blamed Danielle for treating the patient as she pleased without proper authorization from the hospital. If anything went wrong, he would be in serious trouble.
He was probably too antsy, so he forgot the most important issue, namely the relationship between Danielle and David.
"Sheâs my fiancée, not a thief," David said with some displeasure. "Watch your attitude when you speak. Also, donât you know that we need to be quiet in wards? Want to permanently lose your voice, huh?" Lennon was so frightened by David that he quickly covered his mouth, thinking, âI donât want to be poisoned and lose my voice...
"Are you saying sheâs your fiancée and that she knows medicine?" he asked.
He studied modern medicine and didnât know anything about traditional medicine, which was why he was so nervous about the many needles being inserted into Taraâs head.
"Not only does she know medicine, but her medical skills are also very advanced," David said. "Whatâs the use of having you guys? A group of people is no match for my fiancée."
Davidâs words hurt Lennon deeply. At the same time, his words also strongly affirmed Danielleâs medical skills.
