He meticulously examined the results, comparing them to the previous tests, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly. This whole process left Tessa somewhat confused. What was this doctor doing? The way he was diagnosing made it seem like Aurora was on the brink of death. How was she supposed to carry on with her plans if this continued? This couldnโt be happening!
As she watched the doctor shake his head and sigh, Lucas' gaze darkened. If he couldnโt spot the problem now, he would truly be a fool!
โWhat are you doing?โ Lucasโ sudden voice made Jackson flinch, nearly dropping the test results in his hand.
He paused for a moment, then responded, โIโm comparing the patientโs current test data with the previous ones to see if thereโs any improvement.โ
โAnd?โ
โThenโฆโ Jackson swallowed hard, feeling the tension rise in his chest. โI found that thereโs still no improvement. In fact, thereโs even a downward trend.โ
Lucas' eyes narrowed. โSo?โ
Under that intense gaze, Jacksonโs nerves completely unraveled. He stammered, โSoโฆ so I suggest not moving the patient around. Itโs because I heard you wanted to transfer her to another hospital, so I rushed over.โ
โHeh.โ
Lucasโs sudden light laugh confused everyone in the room. Even the foreign doctor didnโt dare breathe too loudly. It was clear to everyone that Lucas was furious. His temper had always been notoriously bad. That he had managed to calmly ask Jackson three questions in a row was already quite a feat.
Looking at it now, if the attending doctor continued to claim that Auroraโs condition was worsening, it seemed Lucas was genuinely considering tearing down this hospital. The foreign doctor glanced at Kenneth and saw that he looked equally nervous. It seemed everyone knew exactly what kind of person Lucas was. Now it was clear that the doctor had walked straight into a hornetโs nest.
Tessa, noticing the doctorโs poor composure, couldnโt help but speak up in his defense. โAlright, Lucas. Youโve heard it. The attending doctor has suggested this more than once. We should listen to the advice of the family members. Besides, my sisterโs been doing well here. Itโs better to treat her slowly and carefully. Youโre just making things harder for the doctor now.โ
โShut up!โ Lucas snapped sharply.
The sudden outburst made Tessa jump, completely taken aback. What was his problem? Why was he suddenly so angry? Everyone stared at Tessa in shock. For someone who had just been speaking confidently, she was now rendered speechless. No one knew what to say, except to hope she would survive this confrontation. She had the audacity to defend the doctor under such circumstances. How impressive!
Tessaโs mind was still spinning. After all, she was Auroraโs sister. Was she really being scolded by this man? And in front of so many people? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
โLucas, what are you trying to do? No matter what, Iโm Auroraโs sister. Is this how youโre going to treat me?โ
