Chapter 326: At the Hospital

Elizabeth arrived at the clinic and heard Sunny exclaiming, “Has Ms. Carter shown up? Dr. Percy, have you seen her?” Sunny was frantic, and Elizabeth asked, “What’s the deal?”

“A patient just started showing symptoms out of nowhere, and Dr. Dixon is stumped,” Sunny said, looking stressed.

Elizabeth furrowed her brow, put on her white coat, and said, “Alright, take me there.” Sunny looked puzzled. “Come on, let’s go.” Elizabeth grabbed Sunny’s arm and they went to check on the patient. Sunny couldn't find Nick, so she had no choice but to bring Elizabeth along.

When they reached the ward, a crowd of patients' family members blocked the door. Elizabeth glanced at them and said, “Get them outta here. Why are they clogging up the hallway?”

Laura saw Elizabeth and said, “The patient just had surgery, and everything was fine yesterday. But now, the patient’s heart just stopped.” Elizabeth nodded and began checking the patient's symptoms.

Laura stepped back, looking between Elizabeth and Sunny. “Where’s Ms. Carter?”

“No clue,” Sunny whispered, shaking her head. “Let Dr. Percy take a look first.” Laura wanted to question Elizabeth's abilities but hesitated.

Soon, the patient’s family member returned. Seeing Elizabeth examining the patient, he immediately demanded, “Who is this? Where’s Ms. Carter? My wife was fine yesterday; what happened today? If something goes wrong, you’re all responsible! Got it?” He even shoved Elizabeth.

Elizabeth remained calm and said, “Sunny, get him out.”

The family member was shocked. “Get me out? Who do you think you are? What kind of doctor are you? With all the fake degree scandals here, how can I trust you? Keep your hands off my wife. I only want Ms. Carter!” He pushed Elizabeth away, blocking her.

Elizabeth looked at the man, clearly annoyed. She didn’t say anything but glanced at Sunny. Sunny understood and quickly intervened, calming the man and leading him away. As they left, the man continued yelling, “You’re all useless. If something happens to my wife, I’ll hold you quacks accountable!”

Elizabeth was speechless. Laura also felt offended. After all those years of medical school and saving lives, they were still called quacks.

“Dr. Percy,” Laura called out cautiously.

Elizabeth looked up. “You,” Laura bit her lip. She wasn’t doubting Elizabeth, just worried if she could handle the situation. This was Amanda’s patient. If something went wrong, Amanda wouldn’t let Elizabeth off the hook. Elizabeth was stepping into a mess!

“Dr. Dixon, you should leave too,” Elizabeth said calmly.

Laura was stunned. “No, Dr. Percy, this isn’t a joke!” Laura said to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth replied, “I know, chill. She’s gonna be fine.”

Elizabeth’s calm demeanor baffled Laura. Laura had been checking for ages and couldn't find the problem. Elizabeth just arrived and says it's nothing? How can she be so sure?

“Dr. Dixon, I’m not useless. I know a few things. I might not be as good as you and Ms. Carter, but I won’t kill anyone. Trust me!” Elizabeth patted Laura’s shoulder, signaling her to leave. Elizabeth didn’t want Laura to know her true skills.

Laura frowned, feeling uneasy. But Elizabeth urged her to leave, so she gave her some space.

When the patient’s family saw Laura also leave, he immediately erupted. “Why are you coming out too? When did that doctor inside start working here? Can she handle it?”
