Chapter 36 Can’t Read This Man
Byron just glanced at her. He then clutched her wrist and turned sideways to look at Andrea coldly. “Apologize.” Suddenly hearing Byron say that, Andrea was instantly dumbfounded. “Byron, what are you talking about?” Byron looked at her commandingly with a full sense of oppression. “Old Man Quirke is in critical condition now. If there‘s someone else who can save him, that person would long have appeared when you invited famous doctors locally and abroad. But that‘s not the case.” Taking in his imposing manner, Andrea lowered her head with inexplicable nervousness. “She...”
Byron paused, glancing vaguely at the people behind him. He continued, “Miss Jacobs is not related to the Quirke family and came specifically to treat Old Man Quirke. If you can‘t trust her, fine. But there is no reason to lay a hand on her. Is this what the Quirke family taught you? Apologize to her immediately!” Seeing this scene, Andrius was also a little stupefied. He could not believe his eyes. Were his eyes deceiving him? Was Byron actually speaking up for a woman who was a stranger to him?
However, it was indeed excusable. After all, his sister had been making a fuss about getting rid of Dr. Jacobs from the beginning and had even struck her all of a sudden.
Andrius did not expect her to be too hasty today either.
Seeing Byron lecture her, his expression also sank. He said to Andrea, “Andrea, Byron is right. Apologize to Dr. Jacobs immediately! No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn‘t have acted against Dr. Jacobs! You were too impulsive!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Andrea gritted her teeth and looked at the people in front of her.
Byron was protecting the woman behind him and making her apologize without allowing her to say anything. Her brother had also spoken for that woman. Even Estie had held up her notebook and asked
her to apologize! For a moment, she had no other choice!
After gritting her teeth for a long time, Andrea reluctantly lowered her head. “I apologize, Dr. Jacobs. I was indeed impulsive. I apologize. I shouldn‘t have struck you.”
Her apology was very stilted.
Rosalie did not even want to bother herself with it. At the same time, she was looking at the man in front of her absent–mindedly.
What on earth was he thinking?
Why did he help her at this time? Before treating the old master, it was this man who had embarrassed her, but it was also this man who came forward to help her when she was treating the old master. This time, she was called into question and it was still him who came forward to speak for her. Rosalie realized that she truly could not read the man... “Dr. Jacobs, Andrea already knows that she‘s in the wrong. I don’t expect you to forgive her so soon, but as you said, my grandfather‘s situation is very urgent. Can you treat him first and we can discuss in detail afterward how to make amends if you wish?”
Andrius‘ voice sounded in her ear.
Although Rosalie was still somewhat angry, hearing his words, she thought of the situation with the research institute and suppressed her dissatisfaction.
Moreover, Andrius was right. The old man was innocent. He was just a patient in urgent need of medical treatment. Thinking of this, Rosalie calmed down. She glanced at the people in the room and said coldly,” I don‘t want irrelevant people disturbing the next treatment.” Andrea was about to say that she was a family member when she heard Rosalie say, “Including Miss Quirke.”
Hearing the words, Andrea’s expression turned rather unsightly. Andrius immediately agreed and asked everyone else to withdraw. Only he and Byron, along with Estie who could not bear to be away from her daddy, were left in the room. With this, Rosalie sat down beside the sickbed again.
