Chapter 8 Joshua Attacks Medical Staff

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and their expressions changed.

It looked like Joshua was punishing Reagan and the others, yet Joshua was actually establishing his authority via such punishment!

Alfred nominated Joshua as the new CEO. No one had heard about Joshua before, and his status was special.

They were the so-called higher-ups of the company, but they were just high-level workers in essence.

No one dared to be against Joshua.

All they could do was nod.

Joshua could deal with those people at his will.

Joshua nodded with satisfaction. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to stay here and

supervise them!”

After that, he walked out of the men’s room and said to Alexia, “Ms. Lindsey, could you show me around?”

“Sure!”

Alexia hurriedly followed him out.

The rest of the higher-ups who had stayed in the bathroom finally breathed a sigh of

relief.

The anger that they had been holding back for a long time burst out.

They shouted at Reagan and the security guards first, and then they forcibly carried out Joshua’s order.

Did Reagan and the security guards want to resist?

They could try, but they needed to bear the consequences.

Reagan and the security guards felt bitter, yet they could not afford to offend these men standing in front of them.

They could only do as they were told…

Alexia took Joshua to the CEO’s office on the 20th floor.

“Mr. Palmer, your office was ready yesterday. What do you think of the layout?”

Joshua sat on the high-end leather sofa and looked around.

The room was very imposing and spacious!

“It’s OK. Ms. Lindsey, have a seat. You can relax.”

Alexia sat in front of Joshua, keeping her long legs wearing black silk stockings together, looking charming.

“Mr. Palmer, I am so sorry about what happened today. Please put in a good word in front of Mr. Helin.”

Joshua waved his hand. “I won’t tell him.”

“Thank you, Mr. Palmer!”

Alexia heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest, making her breasts tremble.

Joshua looked away and said, “I don’t know much about the detailed business of the company. Ms. Lindsey, I’ll be needing your help a lot from now on.”

“Sure thing! Mr. Palmer, do you have any other instructions?”

“Nothing really, but…”

Joshua paused. “I heard that Reagan’s cousin is the finance manager of our company. I wonder if you have heard of this.”

“I have never heard of it!”

Alexia shook her head and said seriously, “Our company clearly states that the finance executives and the rest of the employees must report if they are relatives. Rest assured, Mr. Palmer. I will get to the bottom of this!”

Joshua looked at the time. “That’s all for today. I have something to do. I’m off!”

“I’ll send you off!”

“No need.”

Alexia suddenly thought of something. “Mr. Palmer, there is a dinner party at six o’clock in the evening. The bosses of our company’s partners will be there. I wonder if you have time to join.”

“OK. Where is it?”

“Golden Gate Hotel!”

“I see!”

Joshua left the company and took a taxi to the hospital…

He arrived at the hospital.

When Joshua stepped out of the elevator and saw Leyla’s ward, his eyes widened!

Because Leyla was lying on the hospital bed in the corridor outside the ward.

The breathing machine and other equipment were also moved outside.

No one was looking after her!

What the fuck was going on?

In an instant, Joshua’s anger surged!

He ran toward Leyla, who was still in a coma. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

For the time being, she was OK.

Joshua, who could not suppress his anger, kicked the door of the ward open.

There were four people inside the ward.

Lying on the bed was a young man playing on his phone. A middle-aged couple was sitting by the bed, looking like the family members of the young man.

A middle-aged, bald doctor was standing by the door of the hospital bed.

Joshua stormed in.

Seeing that, the doctor frowned and shouted, “Who let you in? Get out! The patient is resting!”

Pointing to Leyla outside, Joshua questioned the doctor with a sullen face, “Who took her out?”

The doctor replied impatiently. “It’s me, Nolan Carey. What about it?”

“I reserved this ward!”

Nolan sized Joshua up. “OK. I am now officially notifying you that this ward has been transferred to someone else. Go to the nurse’s desk and sign some documents later.”

“On what ground?”

“Because I am the vice president of the hospital! Now get out!” Nolan replied impatiently.

Then he ignored Joshua and turned to the middle-aged couple. “Saul, Rubi, don’t worry. Baron can stay here. If anyone wants to stir up trouble, just tell me!”

Baron Carey, the young man on the bed, played on his phone and muttered, “Damn it! He made me suffer this time. I’m so frustrated! I want to get back at him!”

The middle-aged woman, Rubi Bloomer, stroked Baron’s head dotingly. “Baron, don’t worry. It’s just a bruise on your calf. Nolan has arranged for you to stay in this advanced ward. We will make sure that you receive the best treatment. We will make the person who hit you pay!”

Saul Carey, the middle-aged man next to them, snorted, “He’s got some nerve! He dares to hit my son!”

Nolan said to Baron, “Baron, have some rest. I have a meeting to attend. I’m off!”

When Nolan turned to leave the ward, he found Joshua still standing at the door. Nolan frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to get lost? Why are you still standing here?”

Joshua questioned in a cold voice, “As a doctor, you abuse your authority and let your relative who only has a bruise on his call stay in the advanced ward. And you drove the patient who had just had a massive operation out. Do you have any professional conscience as a doctor?”

“It’s none of your business! Who do you think you are? Your sister is just a nobody. Her life isn’t even as important as my nephew’s leg! I am in a good mood now, so, just get out. If you get out now, you can still have a bed in the hospital corridor. If you piss me

off. I will kick you out of the hospital, and I will make sure that you won’t be received by

any other hospitals in New York!”

Nolan said full of disdain!

Joshua could not control his anger anymore.

Though he was not related to Leyla by blood, Joshua regarded her as his younger sister. No one could ever harm her.

Bang!

Without saying a word, Joshua punched Nolan in the nose.

Nolan cried out in pain and took several steps back.

He touched his nose, and it was already bleeding!

“Asshole! How dare you hit me?” Nolan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Rubi and Saul stood up and pointed to Joshua. “You fucking bastard! How dare you hit our family? You have balls!”

Joshua spat on the ground. “He is nothing but scum. What’s wrong with teaching him a lesson?”

“Fine! You have guts. Today, I’ll let you make you pay the price of being arrogant!”

Nolan wiped the blood off his nose and took out his phone to call the security guards. “Get to the sixth floor now! Cut the crap! Get your asses down here! Someone is making a scene in our hospital!”

He hung up.

Then he threatened Joshua, “You dare to hit me, and you’re done for! You attack medical staff! Do you know how serious this is? You punch me! I’ll put you in jail for the rest of your life!”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Joshua sent a message to Alfred and briefed Alfred on the situation.

Alfred replied shortly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Palmer. I’ll take care of it now!”

Not long after

Three security guards ran upstairs hastily.

They were ugly.

Before they reached the door, they shouted, “Mr. Carey, who is making a scene here? He is a dead man!”
