Chapter 36: Unable to Read This Man
However, Victor merely glanced at her before firmly gripping her wrist and turning away with a cold demeanor to face Abigail. “Apologize,” he commanded.
Abigail was taken aback, her voice filled with surprise. “Victor, what did you just say?”
Victor loomed over her, emanating an overwhelming sense of dominance. “Old Whitaker’s condition is critical right now. If there was truly someone capable of saving him, you should have sought renowned doctors from all over the world. But no such person has appeared.”
Caught in his imposing presence, Abigail nervously lowered her head.
“This…,” Victor paused, casting an unclear glance at the person behind him. He continued, “This Miss Prescott has no blood relation with the Whitaker family, yet she came specifically to treat Old Whitaker. If you don’t trust her, fine, but there’s no reason to lay hands on her. Is this how the Whitaker family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!”
Witnessing this scene, Isaac was also dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe his own eyes.
Did he see it correctly? Victor was actually speaking up for a stranger?
However, it was understandable.
After all, his sister had been insisting on driving away Dr. Prescott from the very beginning, and even suddenly resorted to violence against her.
Isaac hadn’t expected her to be so impulsive today.
Now that he saw Victor reprimanding her, he also wore a stern expression and said to Abigail, “Abigail, Victor is right. Apologize to Dr. Prescott immediately! No matter how urgent you are, you shouldn’t lay hands on others! You’re too impulsive!”
Abigail gritted her teeth as she looked at the people in front of her.
Victor shielded the woman behind him, not allowing her to speak. Her own brother spoke up for that woman. Even Sophia held up a notebook, demanding an apology from her!
For a moment, she had no other choice!
After hesitating and gritting her teeth for a long time, Abigail reluctantly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Dr. Prescott. It was indeed my impulsiveness. I apologize for resorting to violence against you.”
Her apology sounded forced and insincere.
Olivia didn’t pay any attention to it at all. At the same time, her gaze absentmindedly rested Victor in front of her.
What exactly was he trying to do?
Why was he helping her again at this moment?
From the beginning, it was this man who made things difficult for her before treating Old Whitaker. And when treating Old Whitaker, he also stepped forward to assist. Now, when she faced scrutiny, he spoke up in her defense.
Olivia realized that she truly couldn’t understand him…
“Dr. Prescott, Abigail has already realized her mistake. I don’t expect you to forgive her so quickly, but as you said, my grandfather’s condition is already critical. Could you please treat him first? Afterward, we can discuss how she can make amends.” Isaac’s voice rang in her ears.
Listening to him, although Olivia felt annoyed, she suppressed her displeasure considering the situation at the research institute.
Moreover, Isaac was right. Old Whitaker was innocent, just a patient in urgent need of medical treatment.
With these thoughts in mind, Olivia calmed down and glanced at the people in the room before saying coldly, “During the upcoming treatment, I don’t want unrelated individuals to disturb me.”
Abigail was about to say that she was a family member when she heard Olivia’s words, “This includes Miss Whitaker.”
Abigail’s expression soured slightly upon hearing this.
However, Isaac immediately agreed and asked everyone else to leave.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Only him, Victor, and Sophia, who couldn’t leave her father’s side, remained in the room. Olivia then sat down by the bedside.
