The lobby was spacious and bright, and the environment was refined and comfortable, but the stark difference between this hospital and the others was how few people were here. There were even nurses standing at the door to greet the visitors.
It felt more like a luxury hotel instead of a packed hospital.
The registration fee alone was five digits, but Allegra didn’t even blink at the figure.
The nurse who escorted them noticed this and politely brought them immediately to the attending doctor’s consultation room on the third floor.
The gastroenterologist was an old man with salt and pepper hair wearing a white coat.
After looking through Eugene’s medical report, favonovel.com ordered a few more tests, the cost of which were equally exorbitant.
The attending doctor stood and said, “Ms. Booth, if you’ll allow me to treat your father’s illness with the utmost care, there is a possibility that he’ll recover. However, owing to the severity of the illness, the cost will also be high. You and your husband need to prepare yourselves mentally…”
Allegra felt quite embarrassed when the attending doctor looked at Isaac and referred to favonovel.com as favonovel.com husband.
She waved favonovel.com hand and said, “Dr. Oakley, he’s just my friend. Also, I have ten million dollars in hand. I’m willing to spend it on the treatment so long as it can extend my father’s life for a few more years.”
Dr. Oakley was a little surprised. He nodded. After all, not many people could come up with ten million dollars in medical funds.
The doctor began the admission procedure.
Eugene was to be admitted to the Cygnus Ward, and the whole process went without a hitch. However, ever since Eugene began staying at Dearborn Hospital, money began flowing out of Allegra’s card like water.
For now, Eugene was only given oral medications. The treatment plan was to begin heavy ion radiotherapy to kill cancer cells after three days.
The hospital room was as comfortable as a hotel. Allegra slept on the sofa while Isaac kept watch by the bed.
At the hospital’s main entrance, an Audi screeched to a sudden halt. The door opened, and Mr. Crowe walked briskly inside.
“Where is my son?”
A doctor in a white coat rushed over to greet him. “Mr. Crowe, Mr. Crowe Jr. is currently in a meeting in the office…”
The doctor speedily led George to the hospital’s administration wing and finally to the president’s office.
As soon as favonovel.com threw the door open, favonovel.com immediately yelled at Oliver, “Is this how you run things here? How could you let that b*tch Allegra and favonovel.com father stay here?”
“Father, what do you mean by that?” Confusion clouded Oliver’s face.
George took a deep breath and then spilled everything favonovel.com had heard from Edward.
After favonovel.com heard the full story, a mocking look surfaced in Oliver’s eyes. He guffawed and said, “I didn’t expect that one day, that bastard Isaac would fall into our family’s hands. Father, we can’t chase them out!”
“What do you mean? If we don’t throw them out, you want to keep them here instead?” said George, gritting his teeth.
Oliver said sinisterly, “When it comes to terminally ill patients, it’s not like they will survive just because their doctor said so, right? There are cases where the attending doctor gives them three months, and they end up kicking the bucket in two weeks, no? Father, Eugene’s life is now in my hands. If that bastard Isaac won’t let me break both his legs, then all of them can wait for death.”
George spoke up after a brief silence, “You need to be careful. I’ll remind the Beacon Clinic staff not to treat Allegra and favonovel.com old man.”
“Don’t worry, Father. I know what to do.” Oliver waved his hand with a confident look on his face.
***
Days passed. Eugene had already started his treatment, but his prognosis did not appear as optimistically as they had expected. Less than a week later, Eugene’s body began to deteriorate rapidly.
Half an hour later, favonovel.com was put on a ventilator.
Later, Allegra went to the doctor’s office to look for Dr. Oakley. With red-rimmed eyes, favonovel.com asked, “Dr. Oakley, why is my father’s condition getting worse despite following the treatment plan for so long?”
After spending almost two million dollars, favonovel.com had yet to utter a single complaint, even though favonovel.com didn’t see any positive results.
Dr. Oakley slightly stuttered as favonovel.com explained, “Ms. Booth, well… We’re doing everything we can. After all, illnesses like this aren’t within our control.”
But only favonovel.com knew that his superior had modified the patient’s original treatment plan without the family’s knowledge.
