Chapter 336 Do You Dare Not to Sign a Medical Liability Waiver?
A smirk formed on Nicole’s face as she glanced at Queenie coldly. With her voice sounding a little disdain, she then said, “Do you think everyone is like you? Each person that you seek is a fake.
Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but unlike you, I knew many people when I was abroad before. Also, I have established a lot of social connections, so it’s really not that hard for me to search for a doctor.”
When Queenie heard that, her face became ghastly pale. Glaring at Nicole viciously, she gritted her teeth and uttered, “What do you mean by that? Are you possibly suspecting Dr. Toth’s identity?”
Meanwhile, Pierre was also a little discontented when he heard someone doubted his identity. Squinting his small eyes, he turned to look at Nicole and said with some dissatisfaction, “Miss, I’m a person with a certain standing in the medical field. If you don’t believe me, just look through the photos on the Internet and you can find me in them.”
Listening to Pierre’s shameless remarks, she merely smirked. After that, she immediately shifted her gaze from him to Queenie’s side. With a cold voice, she responded, “I’m sure Ms. Olivia Gardner must have verified Dr. Pierre Toth’s identity by now. In that case, what’s there for me to suspect?”
Queenie’s facial expression turned slightly better. Later, she continued, “Then, what do you mean by that?”
“The meaning behind my words is simple. Since I’m capable of helping Wendy to borrow the jewelry from Triton Studio used for the finale in the show, it’s only natural for me to be able to reach out to White’s protégé,” Nicole said plausibly.
Pausing for a while, she then stared at Olivia and added gradually, “White’s protégé has promised me that she’ll be able to come over to check on Old Mr. Benedict’s health at the latest by next Tuesday. If everything goes well, she’ll start the surgery next Wednesday.”
Olivia frowned after hearing that. She probably didn’t expect that Nicole was actually capable of inviting White’s protégé. At the same time, Olivia thought, Although I’m very much displeased with Nicole, I’ll still be able to endure her existence if she can bring White’s protégé over.
Even so, she was still doubtful. Hence, she asked coldly, “What if no one shows up next week?”
“What’s the fuss? You all can always find this doctor again if White’s protégé really doesn’t show up. Grandpa has nothing to lose either way,” Nicole said. Despite saying that, her eyes were icy cold when she looked at Pierre.
While taking a look at him, a thought came to her mind. I’m sure that this guy named Pierre Toth must have something to do with Mr. White’s death.
According to descriptions from the family members who had found their consciences, they said it was a man who gave them a large sum of money, asking them to slander my master. Even though the man was wearing a mask and a hat at that time, his figure and height were an exact match with Pierre’s look!
The more Nicole thought about it, the more enraged she became. Fearing that she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would injure the person in front of her, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at Pierre.
In the meantime, Olivia thought about Nicole’s words for a while. I’m concerned about Dad’s health. Besides, I have also run a background check on Pierre before and found out he isn’t a good doctor indeed. If White’s protégé can really make a trip over, we’ll do just fine without Pierre’s help.
Pierre, who was standing on one side, was a little dissatisfied after he heard Nicole’s words. Will you listen to her words? Does she completely regard me as a spare? Besides, from their conversation earlier, they all subconsciously felt that my medical expertise is inferior to White’s protégé.
Unlike everyone’s admiration toward White’s protégé, Pierre had long held some grudges against that protégé. In Pierre’s perspective, he might have had the chance to inherit White’s medical expertise if the protégé whom he deemed as an outsider never suddenly showed up.
“Miss, it’s wrong for you to phrase your words in such a way. Yes, I admit that my medical expertise isn’t as remarkable as White, but it’s still more than enough compared to his protégé.”
When Nicole heard that, she looked up at Pierre. With a smile, she clarified, “In that case, what do you think is the success rate for this surgery?”
“More than 50%,” he answered with confidence. However, in his mind, he had a different thought. In reality, I’ve already looked at Old Mr. Benedict’s case.
Honestly, I only have 10% or 20% of confidence that this surgery will succeed. But who cares? I’m originally here to send Old Mr. Benedict to his deathbed anyway. So, as long as it isn’t 100%, it doesn’t matter how much the success rate is.
However, Nicole didn’t stop there. She continued to press on and asked, “Then, do you dare to forgo a medical liability waiver?”
Like a shot, Pierre instantly bewildered by this question, but quickly retorted, “A surgical process is still unpredictable even if there’s a success rate of more than 50%. As a doctor, I can’t really control the patient’s life and death.”
