"I know that you're not that kind of person. You have been a very good person since childhood. Tell me, do you have any unspeakable reasons? Son, I don't believe you're such a heartless person."
Vireo's adoptive mother had the means to achieve what she wanted. She knew that she had to both be heartless and merciful t o Vireo with her remarks. That way, Vireo would have also been given an out.
Doctor Payne had just come to this hospital not long ago. The staff here only knew that Vireo's mentor was a very skilled doctor in the hospital and Vireo had returned from abroad. As for the other matters, they had n o clue at all. When they heard Vireo's adoptive parents complaining in tears, they could not help but sigh.
"I truly had never expected this. Doctor Payne is usually very kind and friendly, not to mention that he is also great to his patients. How could he do such a thing? There's really no way to tell a man's true color even if you think you knew him."
"You grew up in the big city since childhood, so you certainly don’t know this. Doctor Payne is a man from a lowly background who came from a village in a small county. To put it bluntly, even for an average family in big cities like South City, the expenses needed to have an education from elementary school to doing the seven-year combined program in college are not a small sum, and it could even crush the family, much less a family from the countryside. If I guessed it right, the reason why Doctor Payne could go to medical school and come back from abroad with such flying colors is that his parents, even his sisters, had given up all they had to support their younger brother. On the contrary, what about Doctor Payne? He wants to establish a footing in South City. H e wants to get rid of the fact that he once was a farmer. He wants to marry a city girl i n South City. If he still hangs out with his family, then wouldn’t he have ruined his future? Which girl from the city, especially those who came from a good family, would be willing to marry a man like Doctor Payne, who had to support his entire family? Therefore, this is simply human nature. If Doctor Payne wants to be doing well in the future, he had to be selfish and h e had to shamelessly abandon this family o f origin."
"How could there be such a heartless person in this world? He actually abandoned his parents and sisters for his own glory and wealth! I look down on such a person no matter how skilled of a doctor h e is!"
One of the doctors who had a sense of justice immediately helped Lucius and his wife up. "Sir, please get up. I think the South City Hospital will definitely seek justice for you."
That was the effect that Lucius and his wife wanted. They were not afraid of making a big deal out of the matter. The bigger the deal got, the better it was for them. Of course, they also could not let the matter get out of hand. They have limits.
Just when the old couple was about to get u p and say a few more good things about Vireo, a few important people in charge at the hospital already heard about the commotion and were rushing over from somewhere nearby.
"Hello, may I ask who you are...?" asked one of the people in suits.
Vireo’s mother cried. "We are., we are Doctor Payne's parents. We don't know what's gotten into him, but he doesn't acknowledge our existence. He is usually very good and has always been very caring
"I'm sorry, but this is the hospital. No matter what, it's not good for you to be making a scene here. I am the main person in charge of this hospital. This hospital is backed by the Ford Group. If both of you have any grievances, the Ford Group would certainly seek justice for both of you," the man in suits said calmly.
"The Ford Group?" Lucius' eyes instantly lit up. "Is it the Ford Group that is well-known all over the country?"
The person in charge nodded. "Yes." Lucius immediately took his wife's hand and said excitedly, "I heard that the director of the Ford Group is most capable o f seeking justice for others. Also, he is an incomparably caring and responsible person. I have long heard that back then when his mother was sick, the director and his wife were by his mother's bedside all the time taking care of her. He cared for his family very much. If such a person knew that Vireo doesn't care about us, he certainly would put pressure on him. If the director of the Ford Group could seek justice for us, then we would not have come here in vain!"
Vireo's mother immediately stopped crying. "Yes, we would not have come in vain!" She wiped off her tears, then looked u p at the person in charge. "Then, when can we see the director of the Ford Group?"
