122: Chapter 122: Strange Patient 122: Chapter 122: Strange Patient Ivy River quickly finished reviewing the patient in her hand and stood up.
Evelyn King imdiately blocked her, “Doctor River, I don’t need your help, you should know that very well.”
“It’s seven o’clock in the evening now, and you still have 8 patients to see.
Our normal off-duty ti is six.”
“So what?”
Ivy River smirked with a hint of sarcasm, “If I don’t help you, you might be working overti until midnight.
You can afford to wait, but the patients can’t.”
Evelyn King refused to be grateful, “You helped see patients without my permission, and how do you know my speed is that slow?”
“Evelyn, sotis cowards look just like you.
I helped you because Lewis Chadwick begged .
If you have a problem, go find him.”
After saying this, Ivy River shrugged her off and headed to the office.
The black-suited bodyguard saw this and pushed the old man to follow her.
Evelyn King didn’t expect to see Lewis Chadwick there too and looked around.
Finally, she spotted him in the corner.
She whispered, “Director Chadwick, what are you doing here?”
Lewis Chadwick opened his eyes, “Finished already?”
“Not yet, there are still eight or nine patients.”
“If you’re not seeing patients, then why are you here looking for ?”
Lewis Chadwick stood up in irritation, noticing that the patients were all eagerly watching them.
He manually turned Evelyn King around, “Look, they’re all watching you.
How can you have so little professional dedication?”
Evelyn King hurriedly said, “I’m going, Director, don’t be angry.
I’m going now, right now.”
“Where’s Ivy River?
Isn’t she here helping you with the patients?”
Lewis Chadwick’s pointed question left her awkward.
“Doctor River went back to her consulting room; she left with eight patients.
Quickly, these eight will be quick, rest assured.”
“Hurry up and see them, it’s almost eight o’clock, and the patients are waiting to go ho.
Stop dilly-dallying.”
Lewis Chadwick walked to Ivy River’s office door.
He pushed the door open, “Ivy River, why didn’t you finish seeing the patients outside?”
But the scene inside left him stunned.
Ivy River was lying on the sofa, resting after overworking today.
Exhausted.
The black-suited bodyguard pushed the old man to stand in front of her, staring intently.
Ivy River glanced casually, and then got up to speak.
“Just now Evelyn King wouldn’t let see them, so I’m not responsible for the remainder.
Isabella has recorded all the patients I saw.
You can omit them from my na, but they absolutely cannot be credited to Evelyn King.”
Lewis Chadwick’s tone had a hint of questioning, “Why weren’t you obedient before, but now you are?”
“I’m tired.
If you’re okay, then check on this old man here; I’m going ho.”
Ivy River headed out.
The bodyguard promptly blocked her way, “Doctor River, please wait.”
“This is our hospital director; his dical skills are certainly above mine.
You can ask him anything.
Feel free to use the office; just restore it afterward.”
The bodyguard hurriedly added, “Doctor River, we’ve been waiting for you all day.
At least consider who’s asking and give us a look, okay?
You can na your price for the consultation.”
Lewis Chadwick was imdiately dumbfounded, “Who is this?
They registered with you.
Why aren’t you seeing them?”
Ivy River walked around him, “I told you this morning, appointnts need to be scheduled.
Without an appointnt, I won’t see them.”
“No, our people are right here, and our family’s master’s illness cannot be delayed.
Your traditional dicine skills are quite good.
Please help.”
“Director Chadwick’s skills are solid.
If you need, you can communicate with her.
If you want to see you, make an appointnt for tomorrow.”
Ivy River ignored their desperate looks and waved as she left.
The black-suited bodyguard wanted to chase after.
The old man in the wheelchair directly stated, “Stop, make an appointnt for tomorrow.”
The bodyguard frustratedly agreed, “Yes, sir.”
In his heart, he cursed Ivy River to eighteen generations back.
The whole afternoon wasted away.
The worst part was not getting to sit even once, despite being an excellent bodyguard.
His legs were sore from standing too long!
Lewis Chadwick watched them, frowning as he asked, “Are you wanting Doctor River to see the patient?”
“Yes, our master has been coughing lately, and we ca because of her reputation, but this is the attitude we got.
There are no other patients, and she won’t see us!”
Lewis Chadwick listened to their complaint, “Why not let check then?
My traditional dicine is decent.
I’ve specialized for a while.”
He said this less confidently.
After witnessing Ivy River’s acupuncture techniques and her precise diagnosis, he regarded Ivy River as a model in the Traditional dicine Departnt.
“No need, I’ll only let Doctor River see .”
The old man calmly added, “My ailnt won’t kill right now, so we will return tomorrow to make an appointnt.”
Lewis Chadwick responded, “Alright, sorry for the wait.
I can book an appointnt for you tomorrow.
What ti can you arrive at the hospital?”
The bodyguard imdiately answered, “We should be able to arrive around ten.”
“Let help you book the appointnt.
It’s not cutting the line; there’s an appointnt system now, but today was a free clinic, so Doctor River didn’t have appointnts.”
Lewis Chadwick started checking his phone.
Only to find that Ivy River would not be seeing patients tomorrow; she was giving a lecture to doctors.
This was quite awkward.
The old man, unfazed, replied, “No need, Director Chadwick.
We’ll make an appointnt whenever we arrive.”
“No rush then.
I just checked, and Doctor River is off tomorrow, not seeing patients.
You can book for the day after tomorrow.”
The bodyguard angrily retorted, “How can doctors take breaks!
Their primary duty is to save lives; what’s the point of resting!”
“What you said is funny.
If doctors work intensely without rest, they’ll drop dead.
Who’ll treat your master if they’re all dead?”
Lewis Chadwick’s words instantly silenced the bodyguard.
The old man chuckled, “This man is a brute, please excuse him.
I rember what you said, we’ll co back the day after tomorrow.”
Lewis Chadwick nodded, “Then feel free.
Before you leave, rember to close her door.
I’ll be out to check other patients.”
“May I ask one more thing, will Doctor River be at the hospital tomorrow?”
Lewis Chadwick instinctively replied, “Yes, but she has other commitnts tomorrow.”
“Good, let’s go.”
The disgruntled bodyguard pushed the old man away.
His legs were visibly sore from standing for so long, affecting his walking.
Isabella Yeaton was at the door helping, “Ma’am, take your ti.
Is soone picking you up?
If not, I can call a car for you.”
The elderly lady smiled warmly, “My son will pick up.
You’re such a hardworking young lady, working all day.”
“I’m not tired; you’ve been waiting all afternoon, that’s tiring.”
Lewis Chadwick sighed, rolling up his sleeves, resigned to helping Evelyn King see the patients.
By the ti everything was done, it was already half-past eight.
He had no mood to lecture Evelyn King, rely dropping a light remark.
“Tomorrow, the first mont Ivy River is back in the departnt, you go and carry out the punishnt.”
