Chapter 254
He wasn’t exactly fond of doctors like these, and it showed in his demeanor.
Turning to Haynes, he said, “I told you, I can cure this girl’s illness. If you insist on believing these quacks, then don’t come to me! I can’t accommodate your stubbornness here!”
Mr. Burton’s confidence was palpable, and even Haynes, who had harbored some doubts about Mr. Burton, couldn’t help but believe him a little more.
During this time, Haynes had already sent someone to dig into Mr. Burton’s background.
His past was shrouded in mystery, but his medical skills were undeniable. Moreover, he had successfully treated numerous patients with terminal illnesses.
His personality was indeed quirky, frequently making unusual requests of his patients. This was something Stella and Mr. Burton hadn’t lied about.
Compared to what he had asked of other patients, Mr. Burton’s demands of Rachel were hardly unreasonable.
Thinking this over, Haynes said, “Rest assured, Mr. Burton, I’ll send Rachel to you by tomorrow.”
Mr. Burton replied, “She’s already lost a day. We’ll have to postpone another. Plus, the work she missed must be made up.”
His gaze fell on Rachel, who lay unconscious.
“Playing games won’t work here. If she doesn’t value her life, she can keep delaying. After all, it’s not my illness or my urgency.”
Rachel, just regaining consciousness, nearly sat up in shock at his words.
That old man was deliberately making things difficult for her!
Mr. Burton soon departed.
Stella left as well, holding Marvin’s hand.
As they exited the hospital, Mr. Burton suddenly asked, “Did you thoroughly check that Lin girl’s illness?”
“It’s been checked,” Stella replied, opening the car door for him. “All we found were fake medical records. Even Mr. Connolly couldn’t uncover her true condition.”
Mr. Burton nodded knowingly. “Seems she has someone skilled backing her. Stella, do you want to expose her?”
Stella fastened her seatbelt. “Of course I do, but not now.”
“Oh?”
Starting the car, Stella said, “I’m worried that once exposed, Haynes might suddenly refuse to divorce her. Let her keep acting; hopefully, she’ll marry into the O’Brien family.”
“I’d love to see who comes out on top between her and Deanna O’Brien.” Understanding Stella’s intentions, Mr. Burton laughed heartily.
“Vengeance is sweet, well done!”
In the following days, Rachel’s attempts to feign dizziness and illness proved futile. Resigned, she finally settled down.
She could clearly sense that her recent antics had tried Haynes’ patience.
“Rachel, compared to your life, is a little discomfort so hard to bear?”
“I’ve checked the clinic’s surveillance. They didn’t mistreat you. Your tasks are the same as Marvin’s.”
“If a five-year-old can do it, can’t you manage a bit of it?”
Rachel had complained to Jasper, who, after cursing out Stella, tried to console her.
“Rachel, just endure this period for now. Once we get that old man’s prescriptions, watch me tear down his clinic.”
Once he calmed down, Jasper realized he might have overreacted this time.
While his emotions had been running high, even if he had burst in, the only person he could really confront was Mr. Burton.
Marvin was Neville’s son, and he was untouchable.
