Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 305

“What kind of attitude is that?” Claudine snapped, standing tall with indignation. “A doctor should always prioritize their patients. You’re not rushing his treatment, and now that the test results are out, you haven’t even checked them. If his condition worsens because of this delay, can you live with that responsibility?”

“Why didn’t you bring the test results with you when you came to see me?” Leanne retorted.

“With all those papers, how was I supposed to know which ones to bring? We’re your elders. While we’re staying in this hospital, you could at least show some concern for Harrington’s health. What about you?”

Taking a moral high ground, Claudine pointed an accusing finger at her. “You messed up Suzan and Curtis’ relationship. We’ve been letting it slide for Curtis’ sake and tolerated you over and over. Now you’re just taking advantage of that!”

Leanne, used to dealing with difficult patients, wasn’t fazed. This was just another attempt to target her specifically.

“First of all, whatever agreement you’ve reached with the Richardson family has nothing to do with me. I don’t owe you or anyone else anything. Secondly, Curtis was single when we got married. If you want to bring that up, I wouldn’t mind listing all the sneaky things Suzan has been up to behind our backs these past few years.”

Claudine, thinking Suzan still wasn’t cunning enough, certainly wasn’t going to settle accounts, “Do you mean you’re holding a grudge against us, deliberately delaying the test results?”

“I never mix personal feelings with my work. I treat all my patients equally,” Leanne replied. “It’s you, however, who seems to bring emotion into every word you say.”

Claudine was about to say something, but then thought better of it.

No doctor wanted to waste time arguing meaninglessly with a patient’s family.

Patiently, Leanne said, “Right now, Mr. Wright’s eyesight is what’s most important. If you’re concerned about his health, maybe put your emotions aside and focus on the treatment. If you’ve chosen me to treat him, you need to trust me. If not, it’ll be hard to proceed with further treatment.”

Those words left Claudine speechless.

Leanne added, “Please go back now, I’ll be there in five minutes.”

Claudine, getting nowhere, stormed off with a grumpy face. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Back in the hospital room, she complained to Harrington, “That girl used to be so quiet, and now she’s so sharp-tongued I can’t even argue with her.”

00:05″

“Why do you have to talk about her then?” a casual voice interjected.

They turned to see Curtis and Jennifer walking in.

Harrington softened his anger a bit, “You’ve come.”

Jennifer said, “Heard you were hospitalized, Curtis canceled his afternoon meeting to check on you. How are you feeling?”

Claudine changed her demeanor completely from how she was with Leanne in the office, smiling, “Curtis is so thoughtful, caring so much about Harrington.”

Curtis, with a laży stride and a hint of a smile, said, “The moment Harrington was hospitalized, Leanne was so worried and urged me three times a day to visit. I couldn’t delay. A meeting is nothing compared to Harrington’s health.”

Everyone present knew he was bluffing.

Claudine, with a hint of sarcasm, said, “Leanne is a busy woman. Harrington has been in pain all day and she hasn’t shown up. I barely said two words before she lectured me.”

Curtis lifted an eyebrow. “Really? There’s gotta be some kind of mix-up here.”

Feigning concern, he continued, “What exactly did she say? Tell me, and I’ll help you make sense of it.”

Claudine dared not repeat it,, muttering resentfully, “It was nothing, just one thing led to another. I was just a bit anxious, Harrington’s eye pain is severe. He can hardly see now.”

“That’s great. Leanne’s professional skills are renowned in their hospital. Both colleagues and patients can’t stop praising her. She’s all in, especially when it comes to Harrington’s condition.”

Curtis spoke smoothly, affirming his and Leanne’s united front.

Claudine forced a smile, unable to continue the conversation.

Harrington snorted, “Nonsense. She’d be lucky not to make my eyesight worse.”

Curtis nodded, “I get it now, Harrington. It’s not that you don’t trust Leanne. You’re doubting me.”
