Chapter 180
In the private office of Adventist Private Hospital.
A pot-bellied, slightly bald man in his forties could be seen talking respectfully to a feminine-looking man.
This feminine-looking man was no other than Jerry Zabinski.
Jerry Zabinski toyed with the paper cutter in his hand and spoke in an impassive tone, “I heard that three workers from the accident at Asiatic Mall construction site are still in critical condition. They have to undergo craniotomy surgeries to save their lives.”
Richard Steele then chimed in, “Yes. Even a number of doctors from different hospitals in Channing could not save them.”
“I’m guessing Penny Smith will come looking for you soon. It’s very likely that she will request for you to be the primary surgeon. I want to see the operations fail and the three workers become casualties of the accident.”
Richard Steele had wanted to reject Zabinski’s request intuitively. After all, his reputation was at risk if the three patients died on his operating table.
However, his eyes met with Jerry Zabinski’s death glare when he was about to reject him.
He then thought about Jerry Zabinski’s cruel and ruthless acts and the influences of the Zabinski family. Richard Steele then lowered his head, “Yes, Mr. Zabinski. I understand.”
Jerry Zabinski was pleased, “Don’t worry, it’s not unpaid labor. I’ll give you a billion when it’s done.”
“Plus, you could take the chance to rip off Penny Smith. That bitch will definitely request for you to operate, no matter the cost.”
Steele’s eyes gleamed with delight. He made some simple calculations in his head and realized that he could make a major fortune this time.
He grinned, “Hehe. I understand, Mr. Zabinski.”
It was at this moment that someone came knocking on the door.
Richard Steele gave his consent and his female personal assistant came in.
The assistant reported in a polite manner, “Dr. Steele, Mr. Nathan Cross and Ms. Penny Smith are here to see you.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Richard Steele and Jerry Zabinski cast glances at each other before Steele turned his head to face his assistant. “Take them to the reception room. I’ll be there in a minute.”
“Okay!” The assistant replied.
Richard Steele reached the reception room wearing his white robe and gold-rimmed glasses a few moments later.
He saw Nathan Cross and Penny Smith as soon as he went inside the reception room.
His eyes glinted as soon as he saw Penny Smith. Wow, what a surprise. This little minx is quite the package with her alluring curves and pretty face.
Penny Smith did not notice his salacious stare and approached him swiftly. She greeted Steele politely, “Greetings, Dr. Steele. I’m the General Manager for Diva Limited, Penny Smith. This is my husband, Nathan Cross.”
Samuel Steele did not bother glancing at Nathan Cross. He eyeballed Penny’s hourglass figure and grinned, “Ms. Smith, I’ve heard a lot about you since the accident at Asiatic Mall construction site yesterday night.”
Penny smiled awkwardly, “Ah, it’s unfortunate that bad news travels faster than the wind.”
Richard Steele replied with all smiles, “May I ask what brings Ms. Smith here today?”
Penny went straight to the point, “Actually, both my husband and I require your help this time. The three workers involved are in critical condition.”
“We would like to ask you to become the primary surgeon and perform a craniotomy on them.”
Richard Steele acted like he was on the fence upon hearing their request, “Yes. I’ve heard about the three workers’ condition from my acquaintances at Channing Hospital. It’s quite a sticky situation.”
Penny hurriedly continued, “That is why we are here to ask for your help in this matter. You’re Dr. Rothschild’s student after all. Surely you can handle this well. Of course, I’m aware of your charges. Money is not an issue here.”
Penny was wearing a formal suit but her curves still showed through it all. Richard Steele’s eyes greedily stared at her breasts, and he grinned wickedly, “Then I’d like to ask your husband to wait outside for a bit.”
Nathan had long noticed Steele’s perverted stares. As a man himself, he knew what Steele was thinking all too well. His face darkened at the thought.
