Chapter 445

When that middle-aged man appeared, exclamations of shock immediately went around. “I-Isn’t that Ted Harrison, the son of Joseph Harrison?”

“Who is Ted Harrison?”

“Oh, my God! I can’t believe you don’t even know who Ted Harrison is! One of the top ten most outstanding youths in Eastshire; the most promising doctor of this generation in Eastshire; one of the most influential people in the healthcare industry in Eastshire; the person in charge of Harrison Pharmacy! That Ted Harrison!”

“Oh, my God! That’s him?! H-He can make the entire healthcare industry in Eastcliff tremble if he so much as stomped his feet!”

“More importantly, his father, Joseph Harrison, has practiced medicine for decades. He is a revered guest among many influential people. Furthermore, he has friends all over the world, as well as a wide network of connections. Even the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff have to be careful around him!”

“Why would such a bigshot come to our hospital?”

As the crowd murmured among themselves, even those who had no idea who Ted Harrison was soon came to know about him. Thus, their gazes were full of respect and admiration when they looked at him. Tristan’s parents might be bigwigs too, but compared to Ted, they were no more than ants crawling on the ground!

Then, everybody froze in shock when they saw Ted’s intimate gestures toward Crystal. After a moment, they exclaimed, “W-What’s going on? What is their relationship?!”

Similarly, Veronica widened her eyes in shock and anxiously murmured, “Honey, t-that b*tch can’t be his lover, right?”

In response, the fat man’s expression changed abruptly. “Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Still, Veronica wasn’t having it. “Why won’t you let me speak? Look at them; their ages are so far apart.

Moreover, they are acting so intimate with each other. If that isn’t his lover, then who is she to him? If they dare to do something like that, they shouldn’t be afraid of people talking about them!”

The fat man’s face turned red with anger. He was tempted to slap Veronica across the face. Just as the crowd was feeling confused, Crystal threw herself into Ted’s arms and whimpered, “Dad, i-if you came any later, they would have killed me!”

That one sentence left everybody reeling from the shock. “W-What?!”

“W-What did she call him?!”

“Did I hear wrongly? Ted Harrison is her father?!”

“Huh? They both have the same surnames. I-It can’t be… Is he really her father?”

Upon hearing those words, the fat man’s expression changed drastically and his limbs trembled in fear.

Crystal Harrison is the daughter of Ted Harrison?! Oh, my God! What kind of bigwig have we offended this time?!

However, Veronica spoke up at that moment. In an insinuating manner, she mockingly said, “Hmph.

Are you for real? Could he be her sugar daddy? In today’s society, anybody with a little bit of charm will rush to be somebody’s little mistress. No wonder she dared to be so arrogant and bossy! I see now it’s because she has a powerful sugar daddy backing her! Tsk, tsk. What a woman. Being beautiful truly is an advantage. As long as she is willing to spread her legs, plenty of men will be willing to back her up!”

Upon hearing those words, the surrounding crowd began whispering among themselves again. “Her sugar daddy?”

“You know; that’s a huge possibility! Think about it; why on earth would Ted Harrison’s daughter come to our hospital for her internship?”

“That’s right. If she really were Ted Harrison’s daughter, she could go to any hospital and they would welcome her with open arms. Why would she come to our hospital as an intern nurse? That’s just not possible!”

“Looks like he really is her sugar daddy then.”

“With her looks, it’s normal to have a sugar daddy.”

“Women nowadays sure don’t have any self-respect!”

The murmurings of the crowd made Veronica even more delighted. “Did you hear that? Everybody is looking down on her! She’s just a little mistress! Why are you so scared of her? I don’t believe somebody as great as Ted Harrison would throw aside his pride and cause trouble with our family, all for the sake of his mistress!

Then, the fat man let out a breath of relief. The panic he had vanished, only to be replaced by a cold smirk. Ted Harrison has a mistress? This is breaking news!
