Hearing Austin, Lady Gill furrowed her brows. âThe bodyguards have arrived and taken control of theentire floor. Where are you?â
Glancing at Jacksonâs ward, Austin said, âIâm here with
Jackson.â
Lady Gill immediately sounded displeased. âI only asked you to say hello. Why are you still lingeringthere? Get out here immediately!â
Austin scratched his head. âI was just waiting for my sister to reply to a text message, and Iâveencountered a bit of trouble here.â
Lady Gill immediately growled, âWhat trouble? Youârenovelbin
soâ¦â
She hung up.
Austin stared blankly at his phone, and as he was in a daze, the sound of high heels approached fromoutside the door. Then, Lady Gill entered the ward with an authoritative air.
âWhat trouble have you encountered?â
Lady Gill looked directly at Jackson.
Jackson pointed at Nara. âI asked her to peel an apple for me, and she intentionally got blood all overher hands, making it look like I was bullying her! If a doctor canât even steady a fruit knife, how will shehold a scalpel in the future?!â
Upon hearing this, Lady Gill frowned and turned her gaze toward Nara.
Nara shook her head, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something but couldnât.
Keira stepped forward, shielding Nara behind her. âLady Gill, anyone with eyes can see whatâshappening here. Surely youâre not going to add insult to injury?â
Yet Lady Gill sneered. âWhatâs going on? I donât know what youâre talking about! Jackson is makingperfect sense here. What do you have to say for yourselves?â
Keira said, âItâs clear that heâ¦â
âHe what? When he did whatever youâre about to say, were you present, Miss Olsen?â
Lady Gill cut off Keira, then turned to Austin, âYou tell
me!â
Austin grinned. âMiss Olsen was grabbing me in the hallway, wanting to discuss a partnership, and thenwe heard a cry from the ward. Miss Olsen and I entered the ward, and thatâs when we saw this scene~Neither Miss Olsen nor I saw what happened!â
He walked over to Lady Gill and linked arms with her. âMom, I think Jackson is making a lot of sense,and this Nara is incapable of saying anything. It must be her fault!â
-Nara looked at them in astonishment.
She was mute, so of course, she couldnât speak!
But now they were using this to attack her?
Keiraâs gaze also turned cold.â Nara canât speak. Dor you go too far!â
âHow canât she speak? I heard the mute speak just
nowâ¦â
Austin looked at Nara with a smile. âCome on, repeat it, let my mother hear it. Mom, you didnât hear it,but when a mute speaks, the voice is unpleasant and grates the ears.â
Tears welled up in Naraâs eyes and rolled down.
She had just struggled to speak, yet the man was mocking herâ¦
She pursed her lips, daring not to speak again.
Keira scolded Austin harshly, âShut your mouth!â
âMiss Olsen! Donât you go too far!â Lady Gill defended her son immediately. âThis is a hospital underGill Group. We are on our turf. What we say and do is our freedom! Even if you are Samâs treasureddarling, you canât control my son, right?â
Keira became furious, âYouâ¦.â
The Gill family was being completely unreasonable!
Lady Gill scoffed, then pointed outside. âMiss Oln, we have other things to do. Please leave!â
Keira took a deep breath.
If the Gill family controlled Clanceâs medical system, then finding out why Ellis had azoospermia wouldsti require their cooperation.
Moreover, her second task hadnât yet been
accomplished. Among the five great families of Clance, only the Gill family was left with whom shecould form a good relationship.
But with how the Gill family was behaving, it was clear that cooperation was impossible; staying herewould only bring humiliation upon herself.
Had she reached a dead end?
Keira took a deep breath, grabbed Nara, and said firmly, âLetâs go!â
As they were about to leave the ward, Jackson
suddenly said, âWait a moment!â
The two stopped in their tracks.
Jackson smiled. âAunt, we should cancel Naraâs
internship qualification! Donât scare other patients. Sheâs injuring herself all the timeâ¦..â
Nara clenched her fists tightly, her whole body
trembling.
Keira became her mouthpiece. âJackson, donât you go too far! Cancel her internship? Do you think thatyour family monopolizes the entire Clance?!â
âTsk, tsk.â
Jackson scoffed, âThe medical system of private hospitals is ours. What, do you think she can get intoa public hospital? Or perhaps she can get into Nora
Research Institute? Her hand is now useless! I just see
her as a joke!â
Useless hand?
Lady Gillâs gaze finally landed on Nara.
Following her bleeding hand, Lady Gillâs gaze slowly moved up, landing on Naraâs face, and then shepaused slightly.
