Chapter 3 Pretending to Fall Sick

Only after the text went through did it dawn upon him that he may gone too far. That being said, Link was not the only one to blame. One could say that Jennifer Rayleigh was just too tempting to men.

Her usual icy demeanour and arrogant behaviour would drive away anyone who dared approach her. But now, Link managed had managed to peel off her icy facade and reveal the feisty lady within.

[Uh nuh. No such photo. That said, it’s not like I can take such a photo right now.]

Link was disappointed. She had to be in her office right now, working. It was only natural that she could not take such a photo.

Just as Link was about to send another reply, the sound of an engine roaring was heard from the hospital gate. A screech of tyres skidding to a halt later, a Bentley stopped.

A middle-aged man dressed in a suit hastily got out of the car and opened the rear door. He carried a pale girl from the back seat. The girl looked weak and unenergetic, as if she was no longer breathing. Link fixed his sight on the girl before activating his divine eye. A thorough scan indicated that the girl suffered no illness. She was completely normal, albeit slightly overwhelmed by fatigue.

After he had inherited the All-Seeing Eye, he comprehended the changes it brought to his vision. This divine eye was an incredibly rare ability in the Lewis family, which not only granted him the ability to see through all things but also allowed him to tell whether someone was sick at just one glance.

The middle-aged man carried the girl and hurried to the security post. When he saw someone there, he quickly cried out.

“Guard! Please get a stretcher here now! Our mistress needs immediate medical attention! She’s going to die!”

Link shook his head.

“She’s fine.”

“Impossible! Our mistress has been unconscious for three days! How is she fine?” the middle-aged man shouted back.

“You’re not even a doctor! Call a real doctor here now!”

“I’m a hundred percent sure that she’s just pretending to be sick,” Link said with a straight face.

As soon as he finished talking, someone from behind him blared out with a mocking tone. “Now, where did you come from, o miracle doctor? How could you tell if she’s sick or otherwise with a single glance?”

Link turned around and saw James Lindt. The man was strutting towards him with the ghost of a smile on his face.

Link scoffed. He moved aside nonetheless. Link was but a security guard at that moment. He had no jurisdiction over any patient. Besides, the girl was without any ailment.

“Are you a doctor?” the middle-aged man shouted as soon as he saw James Lindt. “Why are you still daydreaming there?! Help her right now! If anything goes wrong, you will suffer the wrath of Thomas Sullivan!”

“Thomas Sullivan? Do you mean President Sullivan of Sullivan Enterprise?” James hesitated for a moment and asked.

“Is there another Thomas Sullivan in Golden Sands? This is the young mistress of the Sullivan family, Miss Minerva Sullivan!” cried the middle-aged man.

In an instant, James Lindt's expression changed. A shiver ran down his entire body and he quickly responded, “Calm down! I will contact the emergency room immediately. Link, get moving already! Prepare a gurney right now and get Miss Sullivan inside!”

The Sullivan Enterprise ranked third among all the large corporations in Golden Sands. The industries they had under their name were worth billions in stock value, and Golden Sands Hospital was one of their investments.

The situation then warranted James’ worry. If any mishaps took place, he would surely be dismissed from the hospital.

“I said, she’s fine!” Link bellowed louder.

“Who are you to say she’s fine?! Can’t you see that she’s pale? If she’s fine, why would she look like that?” James retorted in an equal volume.

“Guard, even if she is fine, can’t you just send her in for a check-up? Just to be sure?” the middle-aged man said as he glared at Link.

James shouted at Link instead, “Link Lewis, as a member of the security guard of Golden Sands Hospital, it is your duty to bring the patients into the hospital for a check-up.”

A hospital’s security guard had responsibilities that differed from other places. Usually, when the hospital encountered serious cases, the security guards had to help carry those patients inside. That was why they had a gurney ready in their office.

“Alright then. If you insist, I’ll take her in,” Link scoffed. He pulled out the gurney and pushed Minerva Sullivan to the emergency room on the second floor.

After a complete check-up, James was stunned as he read through the medical report.

All of Minerva Sullivan’s vital signs were normal. If he had to nitpick anything about her, it would be her slightly low glucose level. To put in layman terms, not eating for a few days may be a probable cause. She was merely weak because she was starving.

“She’s… actually fine,” James could not help but mumble, “How did that brat know about it?”

“Doctor? How is Miss Sullivan?” said the middle-aged man while sweating.

“She’s… Well… She’s fine,” James said in an incredibly troubled manner.

“Make some bloody sense, will you?! You’re a hack! Miss Sullivan has been unconscious for three days, and you said she’s fine?!” the middle-aged man shouted. He was the butler for the Sullivans. Three days prior, he saw Minerva Sullivan going around in a lively manner, but two days prior, she was suddenly bedridden. No matter how much he tried, she would not wake up.

“I’ll personally attend to her myself.” James Lindt was so afraid there was a mistake in the examination that he checked her again and again for three times, but the results were still the same.

At that point, Link had lost his patience and scoffed coldly. He said, “Actually, it is fairly easy to wake Miss Sullivan up.”

“You’re just a security guard. It’s not your place to speak here,” James Lindt snarled.

“In that case, treat her! You’re the doctor! Do what you must to wake her up! Trash!” Link practically shouted at the top of his lungs. He had enough of him.

“You—You dared call me trash?” James Lindt’s face turned red with anger, and he nearly flew into a rage.

The middle-aged man shoved James Lindt aside and scolded him, “Shut up and move if you’re not going to treat her!”

He then turned to Link and, with utmost respect, said to him, “Security Guard, do you really know how to wake Miss Sullivan up?”

The middle-aged man was willing to try anything because he was desperate. Right now, Minerva Sullivan just refused to wake up, and he did not mind letting this security guard try.

“Sure thing. Get me a cat and some milk,” said Link. He already thought of it a long time ago.

“Cat and milk?” the middle-aged man repeated his words, stunned. “Are you sure it’s a viable treatment?”

At that moment, a series of footsteps came from afar. An old man with a long white beard, dressed in a white coat appeared.

He was the Head Physician of Golden Sands Hospital. Others addressed him as Old Rob. It was said that the man had started learning medicine since he was ten. He had fully mastered Traditional Chinese Medicine, and there was no ailment he could not treat.

“Old Rob! You came at the perfect timing! This brat wants a cat and some milk to treat this patient!” James Lindt immediately called out Link’s action in front of Old Rob.

“Who is he?” Old Rob calmly glanced at Link. He did not seem to have met him before.

“He’s just an intern! He made a mistake and Director Rayleigh has assigned him to guard the door.”

“Intern? A guard?” Old Rob’s face changed instantly. He scolded Link. “Enough of your pranks! Who are you to tend to a patient?! Move!”

Old Rob glared at Link and walked towards Minerva Sullivan’s side to take her pulse.

James Lindt scoffed and instantly stood up straight in a prideful manner.

Everyone in the hospital knew that James Lindt was Old Rob’s nephew. He was the string James pulled to get himself residency in the hospital.

After Old Rob took her pulse, his face expressed confusion. He placed his finger on Minerva Sullivan’s neck and got even more confused. After a short silence, the man stood up straight and shook his head.

“I’m afraid I cannot treat her. Please take her to another hospital.”
