Chapter 552 Patients Vastly Outnumbered Top Hospitals
Thinking of her mother’s illness and what Derek had said to her before, Laura only felt sad.
So she softened her tone and said, “Max, what happened between us has nothing to do with my mom.
Please, I’m begging you, don’t make things difficult for her and send her back, alright?”
“She doesn’t feel well and can’t suffer more troubles. Tell me whatever you want. And I’ll do as you like,
but don’t drag my mom into it.”
Max, however, wasn’t happy to hear that.
He didn’t understand why Laura still refused to be honest with him and rejected him even though he
now learned everything.
In the old days, he could see that Laura pushed him away because she was unwilling to let him know
about her past. But now he knew it all.
She could almost solve everything by being his girlfriend, but she still refused to do so.
Why?
Max understood that it might be hard for Laura to tell him anything, but he couldn’t figure out what she
was thinking without her help no matter how hard he tried. So he forced her to tell him again and again.
He only hoped that she could tell him her real thoughts when she was forced to a dead end.
He knew she had feelings for him and she didn’t really love Isaac. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
That man...
He was ridiculous!
Max sneered.
“Sure, promise me something and I'll send Mrs. Davies back.”
“OK, what is it?” Laura agreed at once.
All she wanted now was that her mother could be back to her side. She didn’t want any accidents to
happen.
“Leave Isaac and be my girlfriend. I can give you anything he can offer.” Max knew what she was
thinking and said in a cold tone.
Laura was stunned by his words.
She stiffened and clenched her fists so fiercely that her nails almost went into her flesh.
After a long while of silence, she said in a hoarse voice, “Max, why? There are countless women in this
world waiting in line to be your girlfriend. Why does it have to be me?”
“I just want to live a simple ordinary life. Why couldn’t you just let me?”
Max sneered, “If I say no, will you say yes?”
Laura fell into silence again.
“Well, looks like I might have to say yes?”
Upon hearing that, Max knew she agreed.
But he somehow wasn’t happy at all. He should be happy, but Laura sounded helpless and forced.
He couldn’t ignore the hatred and reluctance in her tone.
In the end, he took a deep breath and said, “Great, come to St. Peter's Hospital. Someone will be there
to pick you up.”
The next second, he hung up the phone.
Afterward, he stood there quietly looking at the hustle and bustle of the city outside the window, he
thought to himself: Laura, you keep telling me to leave you alone. I can do that. But what about me?
Have you ever thought about me?
For countless days and nights, he had lived in pain because the woman he loved didn’t love him back.
Who could save him from his hopeless love for Laura?
Twenty minutes later.
Laura arrived at St. Peter's Hospital.
Fannie didn’t know about what happened between Laura and Max, so she was a little surprised when
she saw Laura rush inside.
“Laura, what are you doing here?”
Seeing her mother chilling against the head of the bed, Laura strode over. She first had a quick check
of her mother’s body and finally felt relieved after making sure that her mother was safe and sound.
At the same time, she was very mad.
“Mom, why didn’t you call me? How could you leave the hospital with him without telling me? Do you
know how worried I’ve been for days?”
Fannie was taken aback by her words.
“I thought you were busy with the shooting...”
“So you left the hospital with someone? What if something happened? How could you leave with
someone that you barely know?”
Seeing Laura's indignant look, Fannie didn’t know what to say, “I kinda know him well...”
Laura was speechless.
Fannie explained with a smile trying to make her daughter feel better, “I didn’t want you to worry about
me when you’re busy at work. Max isn’t a stranger. We planned to tell you after we settle down here
when you aren’t so busy. I’m perfectly fine now. Don’t be mad.”
Fannie held Laura’s hand lovingly.
Laura was furious, but she couldn’t really be mad at her mother with good intention.
“Don’t ever do that again. Ask for my opinions first before you make any decisions from now on. Don’t
go anywhere without my permission. OK?”
Fannie repeatedly nodded at once.
Laura then forgave her mother. After asking her mother for the name of her attending, she walked out.
St. Peter's Hospital was a private hospital. Not only in Eqitin, but it was also one of the top hospitals
even in Ambario as a whole.
There was a popular saying on the Internet that St. Peter’s Hospital was the last barrier between life
and death.
Any patients with a serious or terminal illness would come here.
If doctors here couldn’t do anything about it, there was basically no hope. And the patient could directly
go home and wait to have their last breath.
People trust this place.
But not everyone could afford the top medical treatment here.
After all, there were too many patients in this world but only one St. Peter’s Hospital.
Patients vastly outnumbered top hospitals.
And most of the doctors here were genius scholars, aloof and bad-tempered, who had been studying
medicine for many years. It wasn’t easy for patients to get along with them and they were quite picky.
Not every patient could be treated without enough money or connections.
Laura had thought about sending her mother here, but it made no difference without a heart available
for transplant.
No matter how good the doctors were, they couldn’t build a heart from scratch. And it was impossible to
revive her mother’s heart that had been in poor condition for more than a decade.
So Laura gave up that choice.
