Tatum got mad when he saw that Donald was trying to shift the focus of the conversation back to him.
“There's no use in stalling for time, punk! You are going to give up this ward today, whether you like it or not!”
Those words had barely left Tatum's mouth when an old man's voice rang out from behind. “Says who?”
Tatum was about to respond with a snarky comeback, but held his tongue when he realized how familiar that voice sounded. A smile spread across his face when he turned around and saw who it was.
“Mr. Yanick? What brings you here, sir?”
Preston Yanick, the director of the hospital, made his way over with a group of executives.
“I wouldn't have known that you were such an authority at this hospital if I didn't see it for myself, Tatum! I can't believe you spent all those years studying medicine, only to end up abusing your power on a patient!”
Tatum, who had yet to realize the severity of the situation, walked up to Preston and whispered, “Mr. Yanick, this woman refuses to leave the ward even though she doesn't have the money to pay for it! Look, she even got this young man to beat up two of our security guards!”
Preston glared coldly at Tatum as he replied, “He did a great job if you ask me. Not only did you insist on kicking this patient out without clarification, but you also abused our security guards for your own personal gain. How did our hospital hire a sc*mbag like you, Tatum?”
He then waved at one of the nurses and took the bill from her as he continued, “This is the bill for Fiona Schindler. It is clearly stated here that there is still a balance of one hundred and ten thousand, so why did you accuse her of owing us money?”
Tatum fell silent the moment he saw the bill.
He had planned on getting rid of Fiona first before modifying her bill by adding in some additional medication.
