Chapter 236
Gloria and Daniel looked at the smile on Nicole’s face and nodded involuntarily.
Daniel then stood up.
“Then I’ll go through the discharge procedures.”
“Stay here, Dad.
Let me do it,” Stanley said and then gave a meaningful look at Nicole before walking toward the
hospital’s service counter.
Nicole felt it heartwarming to see the way her family trusted her unconditionally.
As they were waiting for Stanley to return, a somewhat icy voice came from behind them.” Daniel, how
dare you make a decision without consulting me! Why do you want to discharge your father from the
hospital? Are you trying to kill him?”
Nicole did not look back but could already tell whose voice it was.
It was Dillon, her second uncle.
She knew the doctor would notify these people once she asked the hospital to discharge his grandfather.
So she was not surprised at all that Dexter had also come.
The problem with Dillon was his tone of voice.
Nicole looked at Dillon with a frosty look in her eyes.
“It’s my idea to discharge.
Come after me if you have a problem with that,” she said in an icy voice.
When Dillon saw her return, he sneered.
“It turned out to be you, Nicole.
You started to create trouble as soon as you returned.
You might as well not come back.
How can you be so evil at such a young age? Your grandfather is dying.
Why can’t you let him get treatment?”
Nicole frowned, knowing that her behavior was abnormal in his eyes, so she explained to him.
“I’m here to get him better treatment.”
Before Dillon could say anything, someone suddenly sneered and said, “I’m surprised you have the
audacity to say that, Nicole.”
Nicole looked back and saw Damien staring at her with icy eyes.
He had apparently just arrived and heard her conversation with Dillon.
She ignored him, just sat, and waited for Stanley to return.
Dillon was infuriated by Nicole’s behavior.
He looked back at Daniel and scoffed, saying, “Look what a wonderful daughter you have here.
She is a jinx.
As if hurting isn’t enough, she now wants to get Dad killed.
Why don’t you condemn her?”
After Mr. Riddle Sr.
fell ill, Daniel saw his brothers’ attitude and resented them.
Now hearing Dillon’s questioning voice, he silently turned to look at Nicole.
After getting an assuring look from Nicole, he became less worried.
He would not censure his daughter simply because of his second brother,
At first, Gloria was worried that Daniel would side with his brothers.
But seeing his response, she was no longer worried.
She had always been a gentle person, but now she looked icily at Dillon.
“Stop accusing Nicole of this and that.
She at least rushed over to see her grandfather as soon as she got off the plane.
In contrast, you have only come once for the two days, but have you ever cared to take a look at Dad?
Now that we’re transferring Dad to another hospital, you stop us.
I wonder what you’re up to.”
Of course, Dillon was afraid of Gloria.
He sneered and questioned her.
“Stop finding fauit with me; I was just tied up with my job.
But you, I wonder if you know what you’re talking about.
Don’t you know that this is the best hospital in San Joto? You’re blinded by the lies of your daughter.
I wonder if she even knows which one is the best hospital in San Joto.
It is ridiculous of you all to believe what she says.”
Nicole looked at Dillon.
“So you know a lot, don’t you? Have you found a doctor who has a hundred percent confidence in curing
grandpa?” she flatly asked.
Dillon was choked by what she said.
He still could not find any good doctor, and he had not even met the hospital CEO.
But Nicole, as a junior, should not disrespect him, he thought.
He looked at Nicole and was exasperated.
“Can a stink brat like you find a better doctor when even I couldn’t find one?”
Dexter looked at Nicole.
“You don’t even have Riddle as your last name.
Will you be able to find a better hospital and doctor?”
