Oops, I’ve Been Exposed

Helen’s eyes were bright with unshed tears. She looked pitiful as she knelt on the floor with a woeful expression on her face.

Kevin widened his eyes and shouted, ” Ms. Cartwright, have you lost your mind? Why would you beg a swindler like him for help?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Should I be putting my hopes in your skills again, then?” Helen snapped.

Mason’s current state proved that Woody was right.

Woody had warned them about the bone marrow biopsy procedure. It was just as he had predicted. Mason’s condition deteriorated, and he even lost all vital signs after undergoing the procedure.

Helen felt ashamed for her indecisiveness. Woody was the only person who could save her father now.

“You won’t be able to leave Tiusto alive if something bad happens to my father today!”

Kevin was taken aback by Helen’s words. He quickly denied having any responsibility over the issue.

“How is this my fault? I’ve done everything I can to help your father. All the doctors here can testify that I’ve provided the best solution for your father’s condition.

“If my plans had failed, then even the gods wouldn’t be able to do anything about your father’s condition. Your father’s time is up. This is just a normal life cycle. We can’t do anything about it.

“Instead, I can bring your father’s body to Kingsvale for an autopsy to figure out the cause of his illness. Hopefully, that’ll bring you closure.”

Kevin had gotten used to the rich and the famous treating him with the utmost respect. Naturally, he did not think much of Mason’s death.

Moreover, Tiusto City was just another small city. Even if the Cartwright family had great influence in that area, what could they possibly do to a prominent medical expert like him?

Furthermore, Kevin had completely forgotten about the promise he made earlier. He had no plans of giving up his title as a top-notch expert, nor would he consider retirement so soon.

Little did he know that the Cartwright family had strong connections with those from both the government and the underworld.

In Tiusto City, Mason was akin to a ruler of this city.

In recent years, Mason had transformed his businesses and stopped all their illegal activities. Still, the Cartwright family’s power and influence were deep-rooted.

“Seize him!” Helen bellowed.

More than ten tall, buff bodyguards rushed into the room and subdued Kevin and the other doctors.

“How dare you do this to me? I know many people from the elite circle. I can make the Cartwrights lose everything instantly simply by making a phone call!” Kevin raged as he had never been treated with such disrespect.

Helen wasn’t intimidated by his threats in the slightest. “This is the last day of your lives if my father dies here today. Do you think you’ll have a chance to ask for help? Dream on!”

All colors drained from Kevin’s face. He was shuddering all over as he realized Helen was being serious.

“Mr. Henderson …” Helen looked pleadingly at Woody.

Woody didn’t blame Helen for making that decision earlier. If he were in a similar situation, Woody might have made the same decision as well.

After all, Helen merely wanted the best treatment for her father.

Still, it would be too easy if Woody had forgiven her so quickly. He needed to give Helen a stern warning.

“I won’t forgive you if something like this happens again.”

After saying that, Woody walked over to the bed and took out the deerskin needle bag.

Kevin said scornfully, “See that? We’re living in the modern world now. He’s still using these ancient tools when we’re already using advanced, high- tech machines!

“I’ve already warned you that he’s a swindler, but you just won’t believe me.

There’s no way he can resuscitate the patient. I will repeat myself once more. Even the gods won’t be able to revive this patient!”

Helen shouted furiously, “Shut up!”

Kevin was about to make a few more derisive comments when he suddenly decided to hold his tongue. If he let Woody proceed with his treatment, Kevin could push all the blame on Woody afterward and get out of this mess.

Kevin swiftly made up his mind to go with the plan.

On the contrary, Woody paid no mind to Kevin’s ridicule and mockery. Someone with genuine skills like him didn’t have to bother himself with people like Kevin.
