Chapter 423 Violence Against The Doctor
When Kevin and Anne arrived, the hospital had already been blocked. Sam was sitting by the parterre, and Emily was beside him, comforting him. His head was hanging down, so they couldn't see the expression on his face.
This hospital was his lifelong achievement. He had worked hard for it.
Without any hesitation, Kevin and Anne approached him. They knew how desperate Sam was probably feeling right now after witnessing his greatest achievement collapse before his eyes.
"You're finally here, Kevin and Anne. Please talk some sense into Sam. He hasn't said a word this whole time." Emily's eyes were filled with desperation as she pleaded with Kevin and Anne, who also had the same edge of panic in their eyes.
Anne placed a hand on Emily's shoulder and nodded at her. Then, she looked up at Kevin. Kevin looked down on Sam, frowning. He said in a cold voice, "Are you drowning yourself with guilt? Or are you too busy thinking about the reason behind the accident?"
It was then that Sam raised his head and looked at Kevin with a sneer. He shook his head slowly and muttered, as if he was only talking to himself, "I have always dreamed of becoming an outstanding doctor, so I established my own hospital. Back then, I swore in my heart that I would never commit any mistake. I could never let anyone die. But now, there are three people dead. They all died at the same time in front of me!"
Sam couldn't bear the weight of his guilt.
"Why did these patients die?" Kevin asked again.
Sam shook his head again and sighed. Looking at the police car parked not too far away, he said helplessly, "I had a quick look over the corpses, but I didn't find any symptoms. I'm afraid we can't know
the real reason for their deaths until the forensics' autopsy report comes out."
Kevin nodded. There was a thoughtful look on his face. "It's really unbelievable how three patients died at the same time from out of nowhere."
"That's the Director!"
"He is there!"
"He killed our relatives!"
"He shall pay for it with his life!"
At that moment, a dozen brawny men with wooden clubs in their hands ran over to them as soon as they saw Sam. Their angry roars were loud and disturbing.
When Emily heard them, her face turned pale in an instant. She turned to look at Anne, who frowned in turn.
Surprisingly, Sam appeared much calmer. He faced the brawny men, smiling bitterly as he shook his head slowly.
Kevin immediately stepped forward to intervene. HIs face was set with a frown. "If you guys hurt him or kill him, you will be punished. Don't think that the laws will let offenders off the hook. And yes, one of your relatives is dead, but you still have other families to think about. Don't forget about them as you make your decisions!"
Kevin's words were blunt and hard. They hit the nail right on the head.
The angry mob of men stopped in an instant. They all frowned at the same time.
"Who are you?" The leader of the group sized up Kevin with a frown.
Kevin chuckled. "I'm just a bystander. I know that you are already very sad about losing your families. But that doesn't give you the right to make other families suffer as well!"
"A bystander? Cut the crap! Get out of here now. We are only looking for Sam. He killed our families, and so he needs to give us an explanation!" As they spoke, they pushed Kevin back. Immediately, his eyes went cold as ice. He stood his ground and didn't waver in blocking their path.
"If you really want a fight, you might want to think it over!" Kevin's eyes were cold and sharp as he stared them down. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone then looked at each other, completely unnerved by this stranger in front of them. They couldn't help but find him terrifying.
Heaving a sigh, Sam finally stepped forward. But before he could even say anything, the police finally noticed the commotion. One of them came over with an electric baton on his hand. He shouted, "What are you doing here? Get lost!"
The arrival of the policeman agitated the brawny men. Without warning, they all lifted their sticks and began hitting Sam.
Kevin immediately moved to stop them, but the people were unstoppable. Their grief fueled their rage. They didn't have any trouble pulling Kevin off of them. In the end, he couldn't do anything to help Sam.
"No!" Emily watched in horror as the men began beating Sam up. She broke away from Anne and rushed towards them.
But Anne couldn't let Emily get hurt, and so she tried stopping her. Upon seeing this, Kevin quickly kicked the brawny man next to him.
All of a sudden, the situation began to shift. Several things happened at once, but it all happened in such a short time.
The rest of the police finally arrived, waving their electric batons. "Back off! If anyone doesn't listen to us, we will beat them ourselves!" they shouted.
The police knew how to deal with people like this mob.
The electric batons sizzled with live electric current. They appeared quite threatening indeed. Several of the brawny men couldn't help but recoil from it.
Emily finally broke free of Anne's grasp and kneeled down beside Sam. She held him gingerly in her arms, tears streaming down her face upon seeing his bloody face.
"Ambulance! Call an ambulance!" Kevin said to the police calmly.
In A City, only a few people didn't know who Kevin was. But the police had dealt with Kevin before. They immediately followed his order and called the ambulance.
Once the ambulance had arrived, Sam was brought inside him with Emily following him.
Anne turned to Kevin and saw him sigh. Amid all the chaos, Kevin's suit was torn, and now he looked like a mess.
"I should go home and change my clothes before going to the hospital." Kevin had seen Sam's wounds. And while they might not look serious, he still wanted to make sure that his friend was fine.
Anne nodded her head. By this time, a group of entertainment reporters started swarming in.
Kevin frowned, not wanting to deal with these reporters. But he underestimated their strength and speed. Before he knew it, he was surrounded by a throng of reporters. They were preventing him from
leaving.
Desperately, Kevin grabbed Anne's hand and dragged her towards the car.
But one entertainment reporter blocked their way and asked, "Mr. Kevin, have you remarried Miss Anne?"
"Mr. Kevin, did you know that Miss Anne's lover, Kim, is a murderer?"
"Mr. Kevin, what do you think of Miss Anne's attitude towards love?"
Kevin was getting rather impatient with these questions. Countless of lights flashed at their faces as cameras began recording this awkward encounter.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. Frowning, he said, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you today!"
Before Anne could even raise her head, Kevin turned around and hugged her. And right in front of all the reporters, he kissed her directly on the lips.
With her eyes wide open, she could feel Kevin's tongue sneaking in between her lips and into her mouth. She couldn't stop her face from flushing.
Kevin had kissed her with his tongue in public--in front of numerous cameras!
Kevin's eyes were closed as he kissed her affectionately. It was a long time before he loosened his grip on her. He then turned to look at the entertainment reporters, his hands still interlocked with hers, and said solemnly, "I'm Anne's husband, and we will never get a divorce for the rest of our lives. Back then, Anne was just so angry. Her emotions had pushed her to do extreme actions!
But isn't it normal for any married couple to fight every now and then? Now, we have finally made peace with one another. It is only natural that we want to be together.
As for Kim, the man you are talking about, I'd like to ask you one question. Do you really think you can compare him to me?"
The entertainment reporters looked at each other, seemingly surprised by Kevin's actions. They then asked, "Are you saying that Miss Anne never loved Kim?"
Kevin nodded. "Of course. As for the recording on Kristine's micro-blog, the woman in it is not Anne at all. It's only someone who sounds like her!
As for the other photos, Kristine and I had dinner together to discuss about her being a brand ambassador. Anne initially thought that we were hiding an affair from her, so she got extremely jealous."
"If that was the case, Mr. Kevin, why didn't you explain it earlier?"
"As for this question..."
Kevin was smiling as he looked down at Anne. She, on the other hand, had raised her head. Her eyes seemed brighter than usual.
"We are married. As long as we are happy together, we don't care about what other people think."
With that, Kevin no longer answered any other questions. He only held on to Anne's hand and quickly got into the car.
From beginning to end, he never once let go of her hand. It was as if their souls had fused together and refused to separate anymore.
Leaving all those flashing lights behind, they drove away.
The entertainment reports looked excited. After so many days, they finally had some new materials to write about.
Meanwhile, in the car, Anne turned to look at Kevin's profile. She was smiling. Her husband had always been handsome especially on this side. His face looked more angular. He looked rather domineering with his prominent nose.
"What's wrong?" Kevin seemed to notice her staring. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you find me enchanting?"
Anne could only smile helplessly at that.
She didn't know how Kevin could manage to still be narcissistic after all that. Nonetheless, she agreed, "You're right. You really are captivating, my darling."
Anne seldom called him darling. But right now...
"Call me darling again."
Anne's mouth twitched at that. She decided to ignore him as she looked down on her mobile phone to browse the internet instead. Her eyebrows rose when she saw the video of her and Kevin already posted online.
"If the two of us are in the entertainment industry, we would definitely attract a lot of attention." Anne wasn't saying this to be narcissistic. But she couldn't help notice how many times the two of them were on the trending search despite being outside the entertainment industry.
Kevin nodded his head and said in a serious tone, "With my good looks, I will definitely dominate the entertainment industry. Those male stars are nothing compared to me."
Anne continued to browse silently. She then clicked on a post that made her raise her eyebrows.
"The man Anne dated was not the murderer, Kim. Instead, it was Cory, the new CEO of the AS Group. Cory and Kim are identical twin brothers. Since Anne couldn't find Kim, she used Cory to relieve her loneliness."
Anne could only sneer at the post. 'Is this the so-called truth they have reported?
This report is the most preposterous news I have ever heard.'
Once Kevin and Anne were back, Selma immediately took note of how messy Kevin looked. Her eyes widened after hearing the news about Sam. She shook her head and sighed.
All of them believed in Sam's medical skills and moral ethics. There was no way he was using fake medicines in his hospital.
They were suspicious of the entire matter.
Selman then asked the servant to cook some light dishes before turning her attention back to Kevin and Anne. She asked them to bring the dishes with them to the hospital. After all, the food there tasted really bad.
It was obvious that Emily had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her mascara had smeared all over her face.
But she wasn't in the mood to care about all these right now.
Upon seeing Anne, Emily immediately burst into tears again. Anne tried to comfort her by saying, "Sam only has a slight concussion. It's nothing serious, so he'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Emily took a deep breath and whimpered. "They were all strong men with sticks in their hands. How could they be so ruthless on Sam? And now, he suffers from so many injuries."
On the bed, Sam could only shake his head and smile helplessly. "These are just bruises. It's nothing serious. I will be fine in a few days," he said.
As a doctor himself, Sam knew all about his current physical conditions and the wounds he had sustained from the fight.
