Chapter 106 -106 Another Blind Person Comes
Hearing this not only made Hope Williams snort coldly, but the surrounding doctors as well.
How much face did she think she had to spout such nonsense so brazenly?
It was obvious that if Hope Williams hadn’t timely stepped into the surgery, Old Lady Mrs. Knox would have been gone.
If Old Lady Mrs. Knox had really died from such a low-level mistake on Joy Ward’s operating table, Alexander Knox wouldn’t be calmly pursuing the matter right now.
Not only did she not thank Hope Williams, but she also bit back, which was just too much.
Seeing Joy Ward become the target of public criticism, Beau Harrison couldn’t help but step forward and defend her, “Mr. Knox, this surgery can’t be entirely blamed on Doctor Ward. Massive bleeding is uncontrollable during surgery, and Doctor Ward was somewhat unwell when she began the operation. She went ahead with the surgery to avoid delaying Old Lady Mrs. Knox’s procedure. Afterwards, Doctor Ward did her best to rectify the situation. Now that Old Lady Mrs. Knox is fine, we can’t entirely blame her.”
...
Oh, here comes another blind one.
The looks from the people around Beau Harrison invariably changed.
Before the surgery, she looked rosy and showed no signs of discomfort, but now she’s claiming to be unwell after the mishap.
If she wasn’t capable of finishing the job, she shouldn’t have fought for it. When things went wrong, she shirked the responsibility, playing the weak card. Despite others having helped her, she still lashed out.
Truly disgusting.
Everyone cast a disdainful glance her way without saying a word.
Joy Ward bit her lip, “Even though that’s the case, Mr. Knox, I still owe you an apology. Thankfully, Old Lady Mrs. Knox is all right now, and that’s the best outcome.”
“Old Lady Mrs. Knox is fine, but not because of you. Why do you talk as if you saved her?” Aurora Wood and Michael Wood entered together.
“Doctor Wood, I never said that.”
“You imply it. How can you shamelessly claim others’ achievements as your own after they helped correct your mistake? Do you have no shame?”
Joy Ward pouted with a fragile face, “Doctor Wood, why are you always targeting me? Besides, this surgery was originally mine. It was Doctor Williams who intervened suddenly and disrupted my process.”
Damn it!
Fuck!
Aurora Wood had seen shameless people, but never someone as despicable as this.
“How can you even say that…” Aurora Wood was livid with rage.
“Doctor Wood, I really don’t know what I’ve done to offend you. Why are you so aggressive? If I’ve upset you before, can I apologize?” Joy Ward weakly covered her chest, crying pitifully like a weeping pear blossom.
“Enough, Aurora.” Beau Harrison saw Joy Ward acting weak, clutching her chest, and rebuked Aurora Wood sharply. He even pretended to support Joy Ward, asking with concern, “Are you all right?” The completely different attitude and concern were blatantly apparent on his face.
Joy Ward weakly shook her head.
“Beau Harrison, I’m your wife, and yet you yell at me for another woman.” Aurora Wood said, heartbroken.
Beau Harrison frowned complexly, “Aurora, stop picking on Joy.”
Joy?
So intimate!
At that moment, the eyes of the onlookers couldn’t help but become speculative, as Beau Harrison actually scolded his own wife to defend another woman!
Alexander Knox’s gaze shifted to Hope Williams, who was standing by calmly, a shallow smile emerging on his stunningly handsome face, “You are Doctor Williams, aren’t you?”
Hope Williams nodded gently, “Yes, I am.”
“Thank you for saving the old lady.”
“It’s what I should do.”
After speaking, Alexander Knox turned to Vice Chancellor Wood and said, “Vice Chancellor Wood, I’m not an unreasonable man. I’m pursuing this matter to get an explanation. After all, the old lady almost didn’t make it off the operating table, and it was a mistake on the part of your hospital’s doctor. At the same time, I’m very grateful to Doctor Williams for saving my family’s old lady. However, regarding Doctor Ward, concerning the safety of the old lady’s life, I cannot rest assured to entrust the old lady to Doctor Ward any longer. I request that Doctor Williams be assigned as the old lady’s chief physician.”
Upon hearing this, Joy Ward panicked. Handing her patient over to Hope Williams was an insult to her.
“No, Mr. Knox. I was the one who started treating Old Lady Mrs. Knox. Now switching to Doctor Williams, not to mention that Doctor Williams might not be familiar with the patient, it would also delay the old lady’s treatment, wouldn’t it?” Joy Ward hurriedly said, anxiously looking at Beau Harrison.
Beau Harrison’s eyebrows were also tightly knit, and he called out to Michael Wood as a reminder.
Michael Wood entered without saying much, although he had clearly promised to help Joy Ward. Beau Harrison was anxious.
Michael Wood’s brow furrowed, paying no heed to him, but nodded directly at Alexander Knox, “Of course you can. Doctor Williams is a very capable doctor in our hospital. I believe that the old lady will greatly benefit from her treatment. Also, on behalf of the hospital, I extend our most sincere apologies to you and Old Lady Mrs. Knox for Doctor Ward’s mistake during the surgery. We will strengthen our training of doctors to ensure that such rudimentary errors do not occur again.”
Alexander Knox nodded, Vice Chancellor Wood’s attitude was good, and the doctor was changed; his purpose was accomplished. Having no intention to pursue further, he nodded politely to Michael Wood and Hope Williams and then turned to leave.
Suddenly, he paused in his departure and turned back to look at Hope Williams, “Doctor Williams.”
Hope Williams was startled, “What is it?”
“Would I be fortunate enough to invite you to dinner?” Alexander Knox’s voice was gentle, his eyes smiling as they rested on Hope Williams.
Hope Williams smiled broadly, “Mr. Knox, you flatter me.”
Her tactful rejection was evident as Knox observed her distant and dignified demeanor, a hint of indiscernible light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Knox didn’t persist, “Till next time.”
It was only then that Joy Ward came to her senses, looking incredulously at Beau Harrison and then at Michael Wood, “Vice Chancellor Wood, are you mistaken?”
“Father, this matter…”
It was clearly agreed upon, how could it end up like this?
“What about this matter? It’s an undeniable fact that Doctor Ward made a mistake during the surgery. Her competence is questionable. Now you are still here arguing on her behalf. I might seriously suspect there’s an issue with her character as well,” Michael Wood said indignantly.
