Queenie and Zachary had been waiting for the patient's family to bring up the incident.
The moment Zachary heard Henrick's words, he introduced the lawyer standing next to him by saying, “This is Mr. Benson. He is a lawyer from Jadeborough's most prestigious law firm. As this is a case of medical malpractice, the hospital will also hold the lady accountable for it. Sign your name below. Let's make her pay for what she has done by bringing a lawsuit against her.”
Henrick was a cunning man himself. He realized right away that the lady must've had a strained relationship with the pair. If that was not the case, they would not have prepared a lawyer.
Henrick appeared to be fully on board with their purpose.
Since they were no longer against each other, Henrick repressed his rage. Not only that, as soon as he saw his name stating that he was the plaintiff, he signed the documents without even looking over the fine print.
Upon seeing Henrick's signature, Zachary went on to say, “Please wait here while I contact the defendant.”
He dialed the phone and spoke with the doctor in charge of the cafeteria patient at Jadeborough Private Hospital, in which he presented the issue in full in a serious manner.
The doctor couldn't believe what he was hearing. He immediately hung up and contacted Arielle.
Arielle was just about to fall asleep when her phone rang, jarring her awake. She sighed and then picked up the phone.
When she heard what the doctor had to say, her face grew grim, and she responded, “Tell him that the device will be delivered immediately. There's still time. It will almost certainly arrive before twelve o'clock.”
With Arielle's assertions, the doctor felt a sense of calm returning to him. He dialed Zachary's phone number once more.
Zachary answered the call. With a grin on his face, he asked, “How did it go? Was the young lady startled that she peed her pants?”
The doctor in charge raged, “Zachary Ziegler, where have you gone wrong with your medical ethics? Is it necessary to be that cruel to a young lady?”
“Don't be mad. It's not you I'm going against. In fact, I'm not even going against anyone. I'm just playing by the rules. She got herself into this situation by telling lies, and that has cost someone else's life.”
With a snort, the doctor replied, “I'm sorry, but your schemes will fail. The device is nearly finished. It's only a little past eleven o'clock right now. It will be there at twelve o'clock sharp, as you requested. Just you wait.”
