Chapter 282: Chapter 282: So What If You’re Rich?
Leon Keane furrowed his brows, stopping in front of Timmy Monroe. Seeing the boy’s injured little face made Leon’s heart ache, yet the kid’s words made him angry.
"Are you hoping for Ian to call another woman ’stepmom,’ huh?"
Leon was clever, understanding the little boy’s heart. As soon as he finished speaking, he indeed saw the complicated expression in Timmy’s eyes.
Timmy pursed his lips, staying silent.
He didn’t want his brother to call another woman ’stepmom,’ but he was still mad at his dad.
Mom’s foot injury was so severe, yet Dad was holding another woman, not coming to hug Mom or take her for an examination.
This kind of dad made him very disappointed.
Leon glanced at the tightly shut iron door of the "Radiology Department," knowing that Ivana Monroe should be inside getting an X-ray. He reached out and pulled Timmy to his side, the little guy angrily squirming. Seeing this, Leon simply bent down and picked the little guy up.
Seeing the little guy’s puffed up face.
Leon softly whispered in his ear, "Daddy was wrong. From now on, regardless of what happens, Daddy will put your Mommy first without hesitation."
Timmy’s eyes immediately turned red, "Daddy, you said it. Daddy can’t lie."
Leon reached out and wiped away the tears from the little boy’s eyes, heart aching as he said, "Yes, Daddy said it, and Daddy doesn’t lie."
The male doctor nearby witnessed this and quietly left since the son had forgiven his dad, leaving him with nothing to do.
The iron door of the "Radiology Department" automatically opened.
Leon carried Timmy inside, seeing Ivana Monroe lying on the cold mechanical bed with her severely injured ankle. Leon’s dark eyes flashed with guilt.
Ivana saw Leon and was stunned, wondering why he didn’t accompany his first love after she fainted.
Ivana remained expressionless, mocking him inwardly.
Approaching the mechanical bed, Leon gently set Timmy down and kindly said to Ivana, "Stay still, wait for me for a moment."
Ivana said nothing.
Leon gave her a deep look, then spoke to Timmy, "Your Mommy’s ankle is injured, don’t let her move around. Daddy’s going to ask the doctor about her condition and will be back shortly."
Timmy nodded. The little boy had already forgiven his dad, "Mm, Timmy will take good care of Mommy."
Leon gave Timmy a look of appreciation before striding towards the doctor taking the films, "I’d like to know about my wife’s condition."
The female doctor looked up, seeing Leon’s extraordinarily handsome face, mistaking him for a major movie star.
Oh, no!
No male star is as handsome as the man in front of her. Most male stars are effeminate with makeup, and even the macho stars are not as handsome as this man.
"Doctor." Leon saw the starry-eyed expression on the female doctor’s face and frowned, his voice slightly cold.
"Oh~ I’ll check right away." The female doctor lowered her head, with blushes blooming on her face, and after glancing at the report, she said, "Your wife’s ankle is severely sprained; she might need a cast. For the specific situation, please take the film to another doctor. I’m just the radiologist; it’s up to the orthopedic doctor for treatment."
Hearing about the severity of Ivana’s sprain, Leon furrowed his brows and commanded, "Print out the film for me immediately."
The female doctor was in a dilemma, "I can’t decide that; everyone waits in line."
The female doctor saw Leon’s extremely cold gaze and swallowed nervously before saying, "Sir, don’t worry. You can just go straight to orthopedics with your wife. The orthopedic doctor’s computer can directly access the results from here."
After hearing this, Leon’s expression improved.
He turned back to the cold mechanical bed and dominantly picked up Ivana, telling Timmy, "Take your Mommy’s shoes."
"Okay, Daddy."
Timmy bent down, his small hands picking up Ivana’s shoes, following Leon eagerly.
Ivana was very quiet in Leon’s arms.
Her foot was injured, so she needed a man to help her. Compared to the male doctor, Leon was more acceptable to her.
She wouldn’t make meaningless struggles to oppose her feet.
Moreover.
Leon was very good at coaxing children; in such a short time, he had soothed Timmy. Ivana didn’t want to argue with Leon in front of Timmy.
So, silence is golden.
Orthopedics.
Leon carried Ivana inside, placing her on the hospital bed behind the doctor’s office.
"Hey, how can you just cut in line? The doctor called my mom’s number!" A young man assisting a rural woman in her fifties or sixties spoke up.
Seeing Leon cut in line made the young man panic; after waiting for over two hours, it was finally his mother’s turn, and now someone was cutting in. How could he not be worried?
"Get out; no cutting in line," the orthopedic doctor said icily while adjusting his glasses.
Ivana lay on the hospital bed, separated by a curtain; she heard the doctor and the young man’s words clearly, feeling very embarrassed.
Timmy followed behind Leon, feeling just as embarrassed but said nothing, believing Daddy could handle it.
Though Mommy taught him not to cut in line since it’s bad, compared to Mommy’s health, if Daddy’s behavior was bad, then so be it!
Leon ignored the doctor and directly addressed the young man, "I’ll buy your number. How much?"
The young man chuckled in disbelief at Leon’s audacity.
"Is being rich that great? My number costs a hundred thousand, can you afford it?" The young man deliberately quoted a high price, arrogant in his tone, trying to embarrass Leon.
Who would spend a hundred thousand dollars on a number?
Scalpers usually sell numbers for hundreds, at most a thousand.
The young man didn’t care about those hundreds or thousands.
The orthopedic doctor stayed silent; the young man had disrespected Leon so much that he saw no reason to intervene since he also doubted the man would spend a hundred thousand on a number.
"Fine, a hundred thousand." Leon took a check from his suit pocket, a habit of his, and wrote a hundred thousand on it, handing it to the young man.
The young man widened his eyes, "Could this... could this be fake?"
The orthopedic doctor commented, "Surely it’s fake; who would spend a hundred thousand just to see a doctor? He’s not Leon Keane, with money to waste."
The young man heard this, looked at the name at the bottom of the check: "Leon... Keane..."
The orthopedic doctor assumed the young man didn’t know who Leon Keane was?
So he kindly informed him, "Leon Keane is the wealthiest magnate in Ravenswood. For him, a hundred thousand is like one dollar to us."
