48 -48: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Join Forces, Double Kill

Hearing footsteps, Doctor Bennet looked over.

At that moment, a group of people dressed in white coats rushed in.

Seeing the newcomers, Doctor Bennet walked over with a beaming smile and said,

“Dad, what brings you here?

Did you hear that I was being complained about?

It’s nothing really, just a housewife lacking in vision thinking about lodging a complaint against me.

I’ve already taught her a lesson.”

The man who arrived was Vice Chancellor Bennet, Doctor Bennet’s father.

When Vice Chancellor Bennet saw his daughter, he did not show the usual joyful expression.

Instead, his face was one of unease, looking around.

Finally, his gaze landed on Mrs.

Carter, who was sitting in the far corner.

A greasy look appeared on the Vice Chancellor’s face, turning it the color of pig liver.

“Dad, that’s the woman lacking vision…”

Doctor Bennet hadn’t yet realized her father’s abnormal behavior, pointing at Mrs.

Carter.

Vice Chancellor Bennet was startled.

He lifted his hand, clenched his teeth, and with a smack, he slapped Doctor Bennet across the face.

“You foolish thing, you think you can just point at President Carter?”

All the nurses and doctors present were stunned.

Everyone in the hospital knew the Vice Chancellor doted on his precious daughter, who had been academically successful and good-looking from a young age.

She was always his pride.

Doctor Bennet, too, was dazed by the slap from her father, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

“Dad, what did you just call her?

President Carter?

Which President Carter?”

“Which other President Carter could it be, if not from the Carter Clan Group?”

Doctor Bennet was shocked.

The Carter Clan Group was one of the top conglomerates in Capital, and the Carter Family was known as the wealthiest in Capital.

There were two current heads of the Carter Clan, one being Senior President Carter who was staying in the People’s Hospital for convalescence, and the other being Mrs.

Carter here, who, despite withdrawing from social life due to her illness, was the president of the Carter Clan.

Actually, there was also a Junior President Carter, but Carlos had been sidelined by Evan Palmer and was dispatched to manage a car factory.

Most of the actual power within the Carter Clan was now held by Mrs.

Carter’s husband, Evan.

Accompanied by a group of directors and experts, Vice Chancellor Bennet walked up to Mrs.

Carter.

His back bent nearly 90 degrees as he hurriedly bowed,

“President Carter, I’m truly sorry.

The Chancellor has gone abroad to attend a symposium.

I am Vice Chancellor Bennet from the People’s Hospital, and I am in charge of routine hospital affairs.

My negligence in my duties today has caused inconvenience to you.

I ask for your magnanimity and forgiveness for my daughter’s mistake.”

Doctor Bennet’s half-red face knew she had made a grave error, as the Carter Clan was the biggest donor to the People’s Hospital.

Should Mrs.

Carter say the word, not only lodging a complaint against her but even firing her would be possible.

Doctor Bennet quickly walked up to Mrs.

Carter.

“President Carter, it was my lack of insight that led me to not recognize you.

Had I known it was you visiting, we at People’s Hospital would surely have arranged a dedicated VIP access for you; you wouldn’t have had to wait in line.

That Emily Parker, she didn’t tell me earlier either.”

Doctor Bennet cursed Emily Parker in her heart.

Meanwhile, she was puzzled: wasn’t it said that Emily’s boyfriend was merely a secretary in the Carter Clan Group?

How did she manage to curry favor with Mrs.

Carter?

Mrs.

Carter remained ice-cold facing Doctor Bennet’s apology.

“A doctor’s work is sacred, but some people have tarnished that sanctity.

Vice Chancellor Bennet, such a person should not remain in the ranks of People’s Hospital.”

Doctor Bennet was startled and pleaded, biting her lip,

“Mrs.

Bennet, please consider the face of my teacher and forgive me this once.

My mentor is Professor Reed, who has been a friend of your husband for many years and is also his personal physician.

Before going abroad to study, I learned medicine under Professor Reed.”

“You are Lucas Reed’s student?”

Mrs.

Bennet frowned slightly.

Not looking at the monk’s face but the Buddha’s, Evan Palmer and Lucas Reed had been good friends for decades.

At that moment, Emily Parker returned from “freshening up” and was surprised to see a group of hospital leaders bowing and scraping in front of Mrs.

Carter.

“Emily, come here,”

Emily Parker walked beside Mrs.

Carter.

“I was planning to have People’s Hospital fire this doctor, but she happens to be a student of an old acquaintance.

For the sake of my old acquaintance, this time…”

Doctor Bennet was secretly relieved.

Everyone said that Mrs.

Carter deeply loved her husband, and her teacher was a friend of her husband’s; surely Mrs.

Carter wouldn’t really blame her.

“Just this time, let her stay at People’s Hospital.

But ‘to spare the rod is to spoil the child.’

Vice Chancellor Bennet, aren’t you also nearing retirement age?” Mrs.

Carter asked lightly.

Vice Chancellor Bennet’s face turned ashen; he was only fifty years old and far from retirement age.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bennet’s face changed drastically, but before she could speak, Vice Chancellor Bennet gave her a look, warning her not to meddle.

“President Carter, you’re right.

My health has never been great.

I’ll write an application for medical retirement as soon as I return.”

Vice Chancellor Bennet didn’t dare utter an extra word and signaled Doctor Bennet with his eyes.

The group escorted Mrs.

Carter to the hospital entrance.

Seeing that it was already noon, with the morning’s examinations unable to be done, Emily Parker suggested to have the driver take Mrs.

Carter back and return another day to get the medical report.

Doctor Bennet and Vice Chancellor Bennet went back to the office, closed the door, and Doctor Bennet couldn’t help but grumble,

“Dad, why did you agree so easily to President Carter?

She is just one of the hospital’s sponsors.

What right does she have to make a vice chancellor like you take the blame and resign?”

Vice Chancellor Bennet’s face was meaningful,

“Do not underestimate Mrs.

Carter.

In her prime, she was known for being ruthless in the business world.

For her to suggest I retire early is already letting us off lightly.

If she really wanted to be cruel, she could blacklist us, and we wouldn’t be able to hold our heads up in the medical field.”

Vice Chancellor Bennet shook his head,

“It’s good that your job has been saved.

I’m old and couldn’t have held my position for much longer.

With my retirement, you’ll have a more difficult path ahead.

Luckily, you still have your mentor.

President Carter has always been unwell, and I’ve heard she always seeks treatment and examinations at your teacher’s private hospital.

So why did she suddenly come to our People’s Hospital?

Call your teacher and find out what’s going on.”

The old ginger is the spiciest, Vice Chancellor Bennet felt there was something fishy about Mrs.

Carter coming for an examination and being accompanied by a junior nurse.

Doctor Bennet also found the situation strange and took out her phone.

As she did, the phone screen went black.
