Chapter 21 Shane’s Connections No Longer Work
Shane’s handsome face paled instantly
“Isn’t my mother’s illness under control? Why has it worsened now?”
Maggie, afraid for Tricia, sniffled and complained, “It’s all Yvonne’s fault! She had security guards throw us out of Elestora. How could Tricia take such humiliation? She must have been angered by Yvonnel”
“Yvonne..
Shane uttered through gritted teeth.

the More she pushed, the more he would ignore her until she couldn’t take it anymore and came back to beg to make up with him.
He had already figured out Yvonne’s temperament,

That was how he trained his per
He didn’t have time to ask the details and only cared about which hospital Tricia was in.
Maggie replied. “Eighfast Hospital!”
Shane adjusted his tie and sighed in relief. “I know the director of Eighfast Hospital well. The best doctors are always on call. My mother will be
fine.”

Yvonne walked into her office and tapped lightly on the touch panel of her desk
With a beep, the palm print verification passed.
The center of the desk slid apart, and a platform holding her laptop rose from the bottom
The screen automatically lit up
As Yvonne sat down, a call came in.
was Ricardo Turner, the director of Eighfast Hospital.
Julian had been admitted to Fighfast Hospital last night. Yvonne wondered whether Ricardo was calling because Julian’s condition worsened.
She opened her computer software and lazily answered, “What is it
Ricando’s voice was gentle yet urgent. “Ms. Burton, your mother–in–law’s illness has recurked. The doctors are still treating her. Do you need me to make any special arrangements?”
Yvonne frowned, clearly annoyed by the term “inother in law“,
To better treat Tricia, who suffered from severe liver and kidney damage, Yvonne la reserved a VIP ward at Eighfast Hospital and had the best exper personally attend to her care, ensuring she received the best treatment during her stay.
Of course, the thungs Yvonne did were because of Slune’s deceased father.
A toneustent “comrade in arm of Shane’s late father” had become the card that helped Shane in everything
Later, Yvonne found a retired famous doctor and spent a fortune acquiring special medications

Ofine, Yvonne didn’t care about these things nuw
Yvonne calmly replied, “Ricardo, Tricia’s lady las nothing to do with me. Go abusit your business
Racando was taken aback and rondldn’t speak
After all, Ms. Yvonne had previously slawn great concern for Tracia’s condition_
He quickly understood and replard hadily. “Okay. I know what to do?”

At the ward door, Maggie grabbed a muse’s arm and demandril. “Why are you putting her in a three bedroount she used to have a VIP ward on the Liftreishi luar. She can’t rest well in a noisy three bed risin
The nurse looked embarrassed. “All the VIP wards have been occupied. There are no copty beds

Maggie’s face darkened. That’s an excusel Your service today is terrible!
Not only haven’t you arranged a proper ward, but even the attending physician and head nurse aren’t here. Do you want to get fired!”
The nurse blushed and weakly explained.
There are too many patients. We can’t give you better en
care, and our attending physicians and head nurses don’t attend to specific patients…
“You’re lying!” Maggie snapped arrogantly. The son of the patient has deep connections with the hospital director. Better organize your wordu”
The nurse was frightened to tears.
If she offended the director’s acquaintance during her internship, could she still pass her internship?
“Maggie.” Shane stepped forward and pulled Maggie’s hand away, waving the nurse away.
He looked at Maggie with sorry. “I know you’re worried about my mother’s illness. This murse is clumsy. I’ll have Ricardo fire her later.”
Maggie replied. “Tricia is your mother. Of course, I have to fight for the best for her.”
She also wanted to impress Shane and completely crush Yvonne’s image in his heart.
But to her surprise, the process was different now.
She had visited Tricia in the hospital before.
Because of Shane and Director Ricardo’s relationship, whenever Tricia was hospitalized, no matter the cause, the director, attending physicians, and relevant department heads would arrive first. There was always a VIP single room nearest the nurse’s station, and treatment was only charged basic

But today, there were o
junior doctors, newly hired nurses and a damn three–bed room.
What was more, the fees were even 20% higher than top tier treatment
Seeing Tricia with an IV drip, her face pale, in a crowded three–bed room, Shane was outraged.
“Shane, dear!”
Tricia, who loved to play the victim in front of her son, felt even more wronged after falling Ul. Tears fell as she started speaking
“My life is so hard. My daughter–in–law is unfilial, I lost my house, and now I’m sick… L
“Mom!” Shane interrupted loudly.
There was another patient in bed 42, along with her son.
They were watching the scene in silence. Shane thought that was embarrassing.
“Mom, the air here is bad. I’ll call the director and have you transferred.”
His expression was jey and aloof.
“Where’s Rheu
Maggie replied, “He’s at the hall handling the procedures.”
Shane was unhappy. “We have to handle procedures ourselves? Can’t Eighfast Hospital do anything right?”
Were there so many newbles today!
Not a single one of them seemed to have any eyest
The patient in the same room was about the same age as Tricia Hearing Shane’s words, the always–competitive old lady felt both envious and a litle jealous.
The patient in bed 42, Nina Gomez, had a lean face and wore a strawberry hairpin in her shoulder–length black hair. Even when sick, she looked neat
and refined.
Her son, Nolan Gomez, held her hand, feeling helpless.
He hated that he couldn’t give Nina better care-
He hated even more that Shane and his family were showing off in the hospital, making him feel small.
Nane didn’t care about Nolan and the other’s feelings.
and dialed Ricardo’s number from his contacts.
Tricia said to Nina. “My son is very capable. He knows many big shots. My daughter in law even begged to marry him.‘
At this time, Shane’s call conjected.

Shane paused for a while before contbuting.
“My mother’s old illness has recurred, and she just came to Eightact Hospital for treatment. But why don’t I see the attending physician in charge? And we were assigned to a regular ward. It’s too crowded.”
“Abend” Ricardo coughed and said coldly,

“What does your mother’s illness have to do with me?”
Shane narrowed his eyes coldly. “What do you mean!”
Did he mishear!
His biological father, Rodney Craig, and Ricardo were comrades–in–arms with a life–and–death bond
How could Ricardo say such things when his comrade–in–arms widow fell ill
“Mr. Turner, given your relationship with my dad, it’s only natural that you should.“
He wanted to say it was only natural that Ricardo should offer assistance when his mother was
But before Shane could finish his sentence, Ricardo chuckled
Shane was stumped.
He couldn’t figure out why Ricardo’s attitude towards him had such a drastic change,
“Mr. Craig.” Ricardo said bluntly, cutting him off,
“Did I give you too much help in the past, so you took my kindness for granted?”
