Novel - Drama Chapter 30
Elliot was shell–shocked.
Lucas quickly apologized, “Dr. Quick, my dad didn’t slap you on purpose. It was a reflexive action out of pain.”
Elliot could not express his anger outwardly at his patient, so he was left with no other choice but to accept the apology despite feeling resentful inside. novelbin

He refuses to drink the medicine or let me massage him. How am I going to treat him? Am I going to fail this time?
“Is that all?” Emrys finally spoke up, sarcasm in his voice. “You seemed arrogant, so I assumed you could treat Old Mr. Sunderland. But now it’s obvious that you are utterly useless.”
Useless?
Elliot’s lips twitched as he swirled around to glare at Emrys. “What a rude brat! Which hospital do you work at?”
He had been forced to tamp down his frustration, so Emrys‘ comment served as the perfect trigger for him to unleash his suppressed emotions.
If Emrys had the courage to disclose the hospital at which he was employed, Elliot would use his influence in the traditional medicine industry in Jadeborough to get him fired.
As soon as he said that, a crisp slap sounded.
Slap!
Elliot staggered backward and hollered angrily, “Mr. Surtderland, what are you doing?”
It was Thomas who had slapped him.
Elliot had been getting on his nerves since the very beginning. If Emrys hadn’t asked him to be patient, he wouldn’t have allowed Elliot to stay until now.
Thomas declared, “I’ll continue slapping you if you dare to be rude to Mr. Lund.”
“You!” Elliot trembled in anger as he pointed at Thomas. “You b*stard! Without me, your father won’t recover at all!”
“That is not your concern.” Thomas then turned to Emrys. “Mr. Lund, I’ll leave my father in your hands.”
Emrys nodded.
At the same time, Elliot burst out laughing mockingly. “Seriously? Do you think this man can treat your father? Perhaps you wish for your father’s death-”
Slap!
Elliot was sent crashing to the ground with another slap.
Some people loved being rude and deserved to be punished.
Elliot’s cheek was burning, but he dared not retaliate, as Thomas was tall and strong.
