Chapter 1404 Resentment Toward Bernian Hospital
Kyle looked up at him and gave him a meaningful look. He then lowered his head and switched his focus to work.
Juan pondered for a moment. It’s dangerous if Kyle had really fallen for Sally. No way. I must stop this. I can’t just watch Kyle fall into a trap.
With that thought, Juan walked out of the office and called Sally immediately.
On the other end, Sally saw the caller ID and took the call.
“What’s up?” she asked in all seriousness.
Juan went straight to the point as he said, “Sally, you’re really something. You’ve acted like an evil, cunning fox in front of me, yet you turned into a kind little bunny in front of Kyle. You’re trying to get his sympathy to catch his attention and make him fall for you, aren’t you? I’m telling you now that there’s no way that’s going to happen.”
Sally snorted and said, “I’m going to make it happen. What now? Does it upset you that Kyle likes me? Could it be that you have fallen for me too?”
“Nonsense. Why would I fall for a sly fox like you? I would never fall for you even if the sky falls and the earth crumbles. I’m warning you. I’ll make you pay if you use Kyle to hurt my family.”
“Fine. I’ll be waiting,” Sally replied fearlessly and hung up.
Juan was stunned by that reply. This woman’s really something. It seems that I’ll have to think of a way to stop Kyle from seeing Sally anymore. As long as they don’t get to see each other, nothing will ever happen between them. That way, I won’t have to worry about Kyle being used by Sally. In that case, I should watch Sally from here on. Wait there, Sally. I’ll make you disappear if you’re really up to no good.
In the meantime, patients who had received free treatments from Nicole were grateful for her. Everyone complimented her medical expertise. Through word of mouth, Bernian Hospital’s reputation grew.
As a result, not only those unfortunate people who could not afford the medical fees went to Bernian Hospital, but many of those who were well-off also chose to go to Bernian Hospital to get treated.
There were even talks among those people.
“I heard that they didn’t build Bernian Hospital to make money. Instead, it was to help less fortunate people who couldn’t afford the treatment. We should go to Bernian Hospital next time so that the money we pay for our treatment gets contributed to helping those patients. That way, we’ll be doing something good with Ms. Lane. Perhaps good things will happen to us in return if we do some good deeds.”
“Yes. Getting treated and doing charity all at the same time. Perhaps we’ll even recover faster.”
As the people got more motivated to do good, word spread, and Bernian Hospital’s business became better and better. At the same time, it had also caused resentment from the other hospitals.
Some even commented on how much of a busybody Nicole was, and that she should have just stayed put as Evan’s wife. They could not understand what was in it for her.
As the business of those hospitals declined, the persons in charge gathered together and began to discuss their plan.
“What should we do? I heard that Bernian Hospital is full every day, yet the number of patients in our hospital is decreasing. We have to do something about it.”
“I agree. Before Bernian Hospital came into the picture, the patients would have to make reservations for admission. Not only was there a lack of beds, but we even had beds in the corridor. Now, not only are the rooms empty, but we are also getting fewer patients. I even suspect if everyone had somehow gotten themselves a miracle pill. That would explain why nobody is getting sick or admitted into the hospital anymore.”
“There’s no such thing as a miracle pill. In my opinion, they must have been bewitched by that woman, Nicole Lane. All of them have gone to Bernian Hospital. They even get their medicine from Bernian Hospital. They’re saying that they’re doing a good deed and showing their kindness.”
