Chapter 243 Coordinating With April
As if his exaggerated story was not enough, April added, “I’m afraid this month would be hard on you, Mrs. Luke, as Hanson would not be able to move his right hand.”
Hanson coordinated with April by covering his right hand with his left hand, but he had forgotten it was his left hand that he used to block the bag.
Looking at the grimacing Hanson, Vania was flooded with sympathy for him as he reminded her of her babies. Without thinking much of April’s explanation, she reached an agreement. “Alright, then. Let’s hurry up with the surgery.”
“Then, I would have to ask you to wait outside for a while, Mrs. Luke.”
Although she felt odd to not be allowed in a simple bone-correcting procedure, she agreed before taking a glance at Hanson. “Then, I’ll be waiting outside. Feel free to call me if anything happens.”
Resembling a child, he nodded his head obediently at Vania, who then exited the room. Moments after that, he instantly returned to his usual dignified and indifferent expression, as though he had just changed his mask.
April heaved a sigh of relief before he walked over to his office door. After he confirmed Vania to be a distance away from his office, he turned around and gave Hanson a thumbs up. “Hanson, this play you made up is amazing.”
As he was no longer grimacing in pain, Hanson stretched out his legs with his usual calm expression. Since he was in a delightful mood now, he was not as furious as he was before with April’s teasing.
Then, April noted admiringly, “I can’t help but be impressed with how you’re completely unscrupulous when it comes to Mrs. Luke. So, what’s next?”
Hanson did not answer the man’s question. “You just have to coordinate with me.”
April was extremely nosy at this point. “If you don’t tell me what’s next, how will I be able to coordinate with you? What if I accidentally let slip at some point because of this?”
However, Hanson knew well that April was just being nosy. “I believe with your intelligence, you’ll be able to figure it out.”
April could not keep up with the charade any longer as doing so would be the same as admitting to his lack of intelligence.
Pleased with April’s reaction, Hanson ordered, “Bandage my hand and don’t let anyone else in on this.” Those four from the Greyson Family are really something else. He then reminded April once more, “Remember to make my condition seem serious. The worse the better.”
April scoffed as Hanson was the very picture of health. However, against the pressure Hanson was radiating, he could only nod in affirmation. “Fine. Then, I’ll be correcting your bones now.”
A calm Hanson then cooperated and extended his arm toward the doctor.
At that point, April sighed upon realizing Hanson’s courting skills were not all that. He then said, “Hanson, right now you’re having a fracture in your hand. Do you know just how painful it’s supposed to be? Don’t you think Mrs. Luke would find it odd that there is only silence now when you were just grimacing in pain earlier?”
Realizing that he had a point, Hanson immediately let out a scream, which startled the unprepared April, who helplessly sighed at the fake patient thereafter. “You didn’t need to be so loud. This is just too much. Just some noise is fine.”
Only then did Hanson’s scream soften.
At this time, the team from the orthopedic department arrived at the operating room. Soon after, the operation was over with the sickly-looking Hanson escorted out.
Vania had assumed that the pain was so unbearable that Hanson’s lips went white. Out of concern, she went up to him and asked, “How are you feeling?”
Since Hanson wanted to maintain the pretense, he put up a rough front and nodded his head. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
At the sight of the ‘melodrama’, April could not help but be impressed with Hanson. With a performance like this, the man could definitely be a movie actor.
