Chapter 198: Chapter 198 I Can Heal

"Dean."

"Serena Summers, you’re finally here. Please take a look at this elderly man. They insist that it’s the medication from our hospital that caused this condition."

Seeing Serena Summers appear, the dean immediately rushed over and pulled her towards the patient as if she was a savior.

Serena Summers nodded, whispering comfortingly: "Dean, don’t panic. Let me examine him first."

However, before she could approach, the old woman charged towards her, "Get away, who asked for your help! Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong? I’m telling you, if anything happens to my husband, none of you will get away today."

Serena Summers frowned, feeling that the old lady’s attitude was somewhat abnormal.

Normally, the family of the patient should prioritize the patient’s well-being.

Yet when she offered to examine the elderly man, the old lady’s eyes flickered with panic and even stepped in front of her.

But Serena Summers knew better than to make assumptions about others, so she kept her doubts to herself.

She softened her tone and said, "Ma’am, please don’t worry, let me check on him first. If the issue is with our hospital’s medications, we are willing to take full responsibility."

"You know how to give medical treatment? Given your young age, you don’t even look like a doctor. Get out of here and don’t cause any trouble!"

The old lady scrutinized Serena Summers, her eyes filled with scorn.

Doctors in this hospital all wear white coats, and Serena Summers looked more like an ungraduated student than a doctor.

Moreover, she wasn’t here to treat diseases.

Serena Summers’s expression darkened. She took out her phone from her pocket, "Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more I need to say. If you insist on causing trouble in this hospital, I’ll have to call the police."

At the mention of calling the police, the old lady panicked instantly and rushed to snatch the phone from Serena Summers’s hand.

Serena Summers noticed the approaching figure from the corner of her eye and quickly stepped back.

The old lady missed and looked at Serena Summers, her eyes filled with anger.

Lucas Shaw stepped in front of Serena Summers, shielding her from the old lady’s fiery gaze with his cold, deep eyes.

"Brandon Reese, intercept this person."

Upon receiving the command from his elder, Brandon Reese waved his hand behind him, and several bodyguards dressed in black swiftly surrounded the old lady.

Having never seen such a scene before, the old lady was visibly frightened.

Taking advantage of this, Serena Summers walked over to the fallen elderly man, knelt down and checked his pulse.

"This elderly gentleman has cardiovascular disease. He is just experiencing an episode, which has nothing to do with our hospital’s medication."

Upon hearing Serena Summers’s conclusion, the doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief.

If indeed there was an issue with the medication, their hospital would be implicated.

Luckily, all was well...

The dean quickly approached the old lady, asking sternly, "Tell me, why are you slandering our hospital?"

The old lady’s eyes showed a flicker of panic, then she regained her composure, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. My husband only fell ill because of the medication prescribed by your hospital!"

Serena Summers pondered for a moment, then instructed a nearby nurse: "Do we have medical records for this elderly gentleman?"

The nurse immediately handed over a record book, "Yes, they did come to the hospital yesterday."

Serena Summers continued, "Does this gentleman have a history of severe cardiovascular disease recorded with our hospital?"

The nurse went towards the reception: "I’ll check right away."

After a while, the nurse returned, "I’ve checked. There indeed is a record. He was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease six months ago, and the doctor had prescribed medication. However, there is no record of them picking up the medication."

Normally, once a doctor prescribes medication, the patient’s family would pick it up.

Some medications are only available at hospitals, not easily found at other pharmacies.

Hence, picking up medication from the hospital is usually the first option.

Serena Summers suddenly chuckled lightly, "This is interesting. He was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease six months ago. If he had really been receiving treatment, his condition should have been under control."

The dean was confused and asked, "Serena Summers, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is... this gentleman’s condition worsened because he didn’t take his medication. It has nothing to do with the medication provided by our hospital."

Soon the police arrived and understood the entire situation.

Seeing the police, the old lady was overtaken by panic.

Under skillful questioning by the police, she confessed everything.

It turns out that after being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease six months ago, the old lady had no money to treat her husband, and the situation became uncontrollable with delays.

Yesterday, her husband’s condition worsened.

She took all their savings and planned to come to the hospital for treatment.

Hearing that medication could be obtained for free, the old lady went to get it first.

After getting the medication, and seeing a long queue still left, the old lady grew impatient and decided to go to another hospital in the town.

There, a doctor suddenly told her, "If you help him do one thing, he will treat your husband for free."

The old lady wavered and soon made up her mind to take the risk.

That led to today’s events.

The old lady wept bitterly, gasping for breath, and knelt before the dean begging, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do this. Please forgive me..."

The dean painfully turned away, remaining silent.

He is the dean of this hospital, bearing major responsibilities. If he forgives her this time, what about next time?

There are some precedents that should not be set.

"Considering you admitted your mistake, if you trust me, I can help treat your husband," Serena Summers suddenly said.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Serena Summers, their eyes filled with disbelief.

But it’s cardiovascular disease. Can Serena Summers really cure it?

Dean Carter, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly stepped forward, cautioning, "Serena Summers, don’t be impulsive. Cardiovascular disease is not a common headache or fever."

Serena Summers chuckled lightly and explained, "I just said I could help treat him. I didn’t say I could definitely cure him. His current physical state is too poor; he might not last much longer. I can only guarantee that he will be able to get out of bed and walk, leading a normal life."

Listening to this, everyone gasped in shock.

What?

Guaranteed to be able to get out of bed and lead a normal life?

Are you joking?

The dean almost dropped his jaw and couldn’t help but cough a few times, reminding, "Miss Summers, this is not the time for jokes!"

"I’m not joking. I’m serious." Serena Summers’s gaze was calm, her tone serious yet resolute.
