NovelEnglishChapter 211: The moment everyone spotted the MDH Pharmaceutical Research Institute logo, a collective murmur of shock swept through the crowd.
None of them had expected a doctor from MDH to show up here.
Floyd offered a courteous smile.
Apologies, but this patient could becviolent at any moment.
I need to escort him to the psychiatric hospital immediately.
As soon as Floyd introduced himself and demonstrated his expert restraint techniques, no one dared to question him further.
After all, nobody wanted to witness a mental breakdown in the middle of the chaos.
While Floyd made the arrangements for Devins transfer, the reporters quickly shifted their attention back to Colton and Melany.
Mr.
Stevens, did you instruct someone to frMs.
Clarke? Were you trying to tarnish Charisma Companys reputation due to business competition, allowing Miss Johnson to stir trouble from the shadows? Your company barely escaped one scandal, and now youre caught up in a defamation dispute.
How do you respond to these allegations, Mr.
Stevens? Melany, who had anonymously tipped off the media in a bid to destroy Allisons image, suddenly found herself cornered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe press swarmed them like a pack of hungry wolves, and her ill-fated plan had backfired spectacularly.
But Colton wasnt listening to the onslaught of questions.
Seeing Floyd from MDH reminded him of what truly mattered his mothers deteriorating health.
Dealing with the media could wait.
The instant he saw Floyd turning to leave, Colton grabbed Melanys arm and forced his way through the crowd, ignoring the reporters who clamored desperately for a statement.
Sir, please! Just a moment! he called out.
This opportunity was too critical to miss.
Colton might never get in touch with another member of MDH.
Youre from MDH Pharmaceuticals, right? Im Colton Stevens, CEO of the Stevens Group.
My mother has a severe neurological condition intense headaches, constant pain I was hoping you might be able to help with her treatment.
Ill pay whatever it takes.
Floyd glanced at him, unfazed.
Not happening.
Colton and Melany had just been taking potshots at Allison, and now they had the audacity to ask for a favor? It was beyond ridiculous.
You see, I dont treat people with bad character.
For me, thats a sin.
Coltons smile faltered, his face tightening.
A sin? It was clear Floyd was mocking him.
But Floyd was a top doctor, one of the best at the institute.
With a few dismissive words, he shattered any hope Colton had of securing help.
Just as Colton tried to explain something, Floyd turned on his heel and walked away, his strides quickening as if to put as much distance between them as possible.
Colton, what are we going to do now? I cant believe Allison has so much sway.
Even the MDH doctors are refusing us because of her, Melany said, frustration evident in her voice.
Melany bit her lip.
This isnt right! Your mother is suffering, and just because Allison has spersonal vendetta Seeing the anger flash in Coltons eyes, Melany quickly continued, her voice turning sharp.
Shes gone too far.
First, she destroys our companys reputation, and now shes keeping your mother from getting the treatment she needs.
Its unbelievable! Coltons gaze darkened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI used to think she was kind and gentle, but it was all just an act.
He exhaled slowly, the weight of his words hanging between them.
His last hope lay in that damned hacker game.
He had no idea when it would be operational again, but he refused to believe he couldnt find a way to cure his mother without Allisons help. Meanwhile, in the car, Floyd glanced at the sedated Devin, slumped in the backseat.
He turned to the psychiatric hospital doctors with a weary sigh.
This patient has a history of severe violent outbursts.
I strongly suggest taking extra legal precautions to ensure staff safety.
His tone was measured, but the implication was clearFloyd was m recommending they use the most forceful restraints available.
For a moment, Floyds gaze lingered on the unconscious Devin, and al shadow passed o over his face. The scene from earlier replayed in his mind, making his breath hitch.
Hed been just a second away.
A heartbeat later, and that knife would have been buried in Allisons chest.
Sending Devin to a psychiatric hospital seemed far too lenient a punishment.
Floyd had already made up his mindhe would be paying a visit to the hospital that evening.
One injection of irreversible medication would completely incapacitate Devin for life.
