“Nobody's allowed to touch my mother!” Evelyn yelled as she rushed into the ward and hugged Fiona.
“Evelyn, why have you come to the hospital? Aren't you working today?”
“I've let you down, Mom. I'm so useless.”
Even as the mother and daughter burst into tears, Tatum Yardley remained unmoved.
“You can cry all you like, but you're still getting out of here!” he scoffed before turning to the two security guards. “What are you guys standing around for? Do your job!”
Upon hearing that, the guards gingerly approached Fiona and Evelyn to pull them apart.
At that moment, Donald suddenly burst into the ward and knocked one of them out cold with a powerful kick.
Before the other guard could react, Donald swiftly delivered a punch to his stomach, leaving him down for the count.
Needless to say, Tatum was taken aback by Donald's sudden appearance.
“How dare you hit our hospital's security guards! I'll call the cops on you!” he warned.
“Go ahead. I'm not stopping you,” Donald replied flatly as he stared at the doctor. “But before you do, there's something we should discuss. My company's artists have given Evelyn's mother one hundred and fifty thousand to cover her medical bills. How is that not enough? You'd better show me a detailed breakdown of your hospital's charges. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook.”
Tatum had been working in the hospital for over a decade, and Donald was the first person to have threatened him so brazenly. Despite that, he was determined not to give in to the man's demands.
