Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Daddy, You Did a Good Deed
The young man swallowed, his hand trembling as he held the check. Was this man who wrote the check really the richest bigwig in Ravenswood?
Everything happened so suddenly, like winning a hundred thousand in the lottery.
This is simply a windfall.
Could there really be such a good thing?
The young man could hardly believe it. Feeling lost, he turned to his mother for help, "Mom, the name on this check is Leon Keane. I don’t know if it’s real or not. Look..."
The orthopedic doctor heard the young man’s words and was taken aback, then laughed, "It must be fake. How could President Kane come to our place carrying a woman for treatment?"
The orthopedic doctor said this with some modesty, but he was also right because the best orthopedic hospital in Ravenswood was the First People’s Hospital, where the top orthopedic experts worked.
Mount Cygnus Hospital is a private hospital, and he was originally an ordinary orthopedic doctor at the First People’s Hospital, being lured here with a high salary and became an orthopedic expert.
The mother glared at the orthopedic doctor, reached out to take the check from the young man’s hand, and stuffed it into her pocket, "It must be real, my son! Don’t listen to some envious doctor talking nonsense. The check is given to us, not to him. If we don’t believe it, it’s our loss, not his."
The orthopedic doctor’s mouth twitched. Envious? Talking nonsense?
The mother poked the young man’s arm, "Son! What are you still standing there for? Quickly give him our number, and we’ll come back tomorrow."
"Ah? Oh!"
The young man reacted slowly. With his mother as his backbone, he tremblingly handed their place in the queue to Leon Keane.
Leon Keane took it and directly slapped it on the doctor’s desk.
The orthopedic doctor was startled, wanting to curse Leon Keane, but upon meeting Leon Keane’s icy dark eyes, he was shocked and didn’t dare to say anything.
The orthopedic doctor went to check Ivana Monroe’s foot, overhearing the conversation between the young man and his mother who sold their place in the queue to Leon Keane.
"Mom, you sit outside and wait for a while, I’ll go get you another number."
"Why bother? My foot isn’t a big issue, we’ll check it tomorrow. Let’s go to the bank first and get the money."
"Ah?"
"Ah what? Isn’t your girlfriend’s family asking for a dowry of a hundred thousand? Your dad and I have been worried about this money. Now that we have it, I won’t have to worry so much. Your dad at the construction site won’t need to work so desperately either."
"Once you get the money, call your dad! Tell him to work less and come back early for New Year’s. Your dad was planning to not come back for the New Year because of this dowry..."
The young man heard this and silently shed tears.
The orthopedic doctor shook his head—it’s the poor people’s predicament that makes them easily deceived.
As happy as the mother and son are now, when they get to the bank and realize they’ve been duped, they’ll be that much more upset, left crying!
Timmy Monroe watched the mother and son’s departing figures, turned to Leon Keane, and said, "Daddy, you’ve done a good deed."
Faced with his son’s praise, Leon Keane raised an eyebrow.
The orthopedic doctor looked at Ivana Monroe’s swollen foot, "This needs an X-ray! Please go get an X-ray first."
Timmy Monroe said, "My mommy already got an X-ray."
The orthopedic doctor returned to his seat, "Where are the scans?"
Timmy Monroe looked at Leon Keane.
Leon Keane said deeply, "You can retrieve them from your computer."
The orthopedic doctor’s mouth twitched again. This man seems to know a lot.
The orthopedic doctor retrieved Ivana Monroe’s scans from the computer, studied them for a moment, and said, "Severe sprain, requires hospitalization. If you have work, you need to take at least a month’s leave."
Upon hearing the orthopedic doctor’s words, Ivana Monroe felt a little anxious. Sean Vaughn’s MV just started shooting and was expected to be completed within a month. Now with this situation, it would delay her by a month?
Ivana Monroe urgently asked, "Doctor, is there a way to heal my foot faster?"
The orthopedic doctor replied, "No, it takes a hundred days to heal injuries to tendons and bones. With such a severe sprain, healing in a month is already a miracle, and you expect it to recover in a few days?"
Leon Keane frowned. He had already announced the wedding date as New Year’s Day, and with Ivana Monroe’s current condition, the wedding might have to be postponed.
Leon Keane feeling a sense of rejection, he really wanted to marry Ivana Monroe quickly.
This woman always made him feel insecure, she was like a butterfly that might fly away at any moment to some distant place.
"First, apply medicine to her foot," Leon Keane ordered.
The orthopedic doctor prepared to prescribe medication for Ivana Monroe, instructing Leon Keane to fetch them and bring them to the ward where the nurse would apply the medicine to Ivana Monroe’s foot.
However, Leon Keane’s presence was too commanding.
The orthopedic doctor didn’t dare refuse and said, "Please wait a moment."
The orthopedic doctor quickly ran out, and after about ten minutes, returned with medicine, towels, and ice packs.
The orthopedic doctor first wrapped the ice pack in a towel and applied it to Ivana Monroe’s foot for about twenty minutes, then applied medicines to her foot, finally wiping sweat and preparing a hospital room for her.
Leon Keane suddenly said, "VIP room."
The orthopedic doctor was startled, then looked up at Leon Keane. The fee for a VIP room was very high, and it required more than just money—it was reserved for distinguished individuals in Ravenswood.
Leon Keane’s serious expression showed he wasn’t joking, and the orthopedic doctor was shocked again. Could this man truly be Leon Keane?
Otherwise, how could he mention the VIP room as if it was as simple as buying a cabbage?
"Sir, the VIP room, requires having a black card in Ravenswood..."
The orthopedic doctor, despite his suspicion, didn’t immediately authorize the VIP room for Leon Keane. He needed confirmation.
Leon Keane frowned, "What a hassle."
He reached for his pocket, pulled out his wallet, revealing a stack of various cards, mostly black and diamond cards, which astonished the orthopedic doctor.
Leon Keane took out a universal black card from Ravenswood and tossed it onto the orthopedic doctor’s desk.
The orthopedic doctor was stunned once again, picked it up with trembling hands, and respectfully handed it back to Leon Keane, "It’s settled, President Kane. I apologize for not recognizing the situation sooner, please don’t take offense."
Quickly, the VIP room was arranged.
Ivana Monroe didn’t expect that her VIP room was right next to President Keane’s mother’s room.
Ivana Monroe was carried into the VIP room by Leon Keane, where the orthopedic doctor personally applied a plaster cast to her injured foot, "Mrs. Kane, if you need anything, just use the call button at the bedside, and a nurse will come over immediately."
"I won’t disturb your rest and will check on you again tomorrow."
Upon hearing Timmy Monroe calling Ivana Monroe mommy and Leon Keane daddy, the orthopedic doctor naturally addressed Ivana Monroe as "Mrs. Kane". After leaving the VIP room, he pressed a hand to his nervous chest, relieved he almost offended the influential President Kane.
Emergency room.
Jack Quinn hurried over, seeing Julia Sinclair lying on the stretcher. He felt a wave of panic, "Julia, what happened to you?"
Julia Sinclair’s face was somber, startling Jack Quinn.
Julia Sinclair said, "Brother Quinn, I want you to help me with an injury report."
