Chapter 398
Melody Fox quickly grabbed Colin Herbert’s wrist.
“Colin, calm down. Hitting him will only dirty your hands
Colin calmed down a little after Melody spoke up, but he still appeared angry. “But if I don’t hit him, I won’t be able to vent the anger in my heart!”
Melody reminded him, “This matter was originally his fault, but once you hit him, it will give him a chance to exonerate himself. Everything will become your fault. It’s not worth it for such a person.”
“But…” Colin still protested.
Melody interrupted him instead. “If you want to vent your anger, I’ll help you.”
Melody would hit her opponent where it hurt most. Since Dan Maxwell wanted to perform a total gastrectomy on Beverly Herbert for the sake of his career, she would cut short his career.
This would be far more painful to him than receiving a beating.
Dan took advantage of the conversation to free himself from Colin.
As he dashed toward the elevator, he shouted, “Help! Someone hit the doctor! Security! Where’s the security!”
Melody pursued Dan without any emotion. She was extremely fast and grabbed the back of Dan’s collar in less than two seconds. “Running away? Not so easy!”
She pressed the other party to the ground with one move and made a call with her other hand. “I’m on the operating floor of your hospital. Something happened here. Please send someone over.”
“What? Operating floor? I understand. I’ll send someone there immediately!” The person on the other end of the line was Dr. Rodney Stanton. Although he did not know what happened, he could tell from Melody’s tone that trouble had cropped up.
After ending the call, he immediately updated the hospital director.
The two of them decided to leave the training venue earlier and rush to Central Hospital.
At the same time, the hospital director personally called deputy hospital director Liam Scott, who was in the hospital, to head down to the operating floor first.
*****
The commotion in the corridor attracted the attention of the medical assistants and nurses who were preparing for Beverly’s surgery in the operating theater.
When the few of them saw Dan being held down by Melody at the elevator door, they were stunned for a moment. They thought that she was the patient’s family member and was beating up the doctor so they immediately rushed towards the duo.
A big group of people ran up to the duo but did not dare to take action because Melody’s aura was too powerful.
The medical staff exchanged looks. One of them then ran off to inform the security department while the others warned Melody. “Hey! Let go of Dr. Maxwell at once or we’ll call the police!”
Melody had no intention of assaulting Dan. She was only worried that he would flee.
Now that so many people had shown up, she was no longer worried that he would flee. She quickly released him.
However, as soon as she let go, Dan immediately hid behind the medical staff and said accusingly, “I only asked them to sign the documents before the surgery, and they attacked me! Quickly stop them!”
“Ma’am, please stand facing the wall immediately and don’t move!” one staff said.
“That’s right! If you attack again, don’t blame us for calling the police to arrest you!” another warned.
Colin quickly ran over to shield Melody. “This matter has nothing to do with her. It’s Dr. Maxwell who wants to use my wife as a test subject for his own selfish desires!”
“Bullshit!” Dan started cursing and swearing before threatening, “How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? The Central Hospital’s deputy hospital director Liam Scott is my uncle! You’re dead meat!”
Colin’s eyes widened when he heard this. “Melody…”
“It’s fine.” Melody gave Colin a reassuring look and went around Colin to face the people in front of him.
Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads when her eyes swept over them.
“I don’t care who you are. Call the police if you want, but I believe we will not be the ones arrested by the police.”
Dan was taken aback and said somewhat guiltily, “Don’t think that we don’t dare to call the police!”
At this moment, the security team arrived and immediately surrounded Melody and Colin.
Dan seized the opportunity and yelled, “Capture her quickly. I just heard her calling someone for help!”
When the security guards heard this, their expressions became even more sinister than before. “You two, come with us now!”
One security guard reached out to grab Melody’s wrist.
Melody was just about to dodge the other party’s hand when one of the medical staff shouted. “Wait a minute.” Then, he asked hesitantly, “Are you… Melody Fox?”
Before Melody could reply, Dan asked in displeasure, “Why are you asking her this?”
The medical staff said in a low voice, “Haven’t you heard of Melody Fox? Her medical skills are superb. Even our hospital’s most skillful Dr. Rodney Stanton is full of praise for her. Moreover, I heard that… the director wanted badly to make an exception and recruit her as a specially-appointed doctor.”
“Oh… I’ve heard of this person. But don’t worry. It’s definitely not this wretched girl!” As Dan spoke, he raised his voice and glared at Melody. “Look at her uneducated appearance. How can she be Melody Fox, the miracle doctor?”
As soon as he finished speaking, pow! A slap landed heavily on Dan’s face.
“Ouch…” Dan covered his face in pain and stared at Melody in disbelief. “How dare you hit me?”
Colin also got a shock. “Melody, didn’t you say that we mustn’t hit…”
Melody gave a snort. “He’s asking for it! He just insulted me. Can’t I slap him in return?”
“You…” Dan was so angry that he stomped his feet. He then rushed forward and tried to slap Melody.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Melody grabbed it tightly.
“Hit me? In your dream!”
She swung her hand and Dan fell to the ground clumsily like a cardboard figure..
All the medical staff were frozen in shock.
“Is Dr. Maxwell so weak? He has been defeated by a woman…”
Dan’s face clouded at once and he shouted angrily, “Security Department! Are you guys blind? She hit me in front of you. Hurry up and teach her a lesson!”
The incident just now happened too suddenly. The security guards finally came back to their senses and rushed forward to grab Melody.
At this moment, an urgent voice rang out. “Stop at once!”
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw a person walking hurriedly out of the elevator.
This person was a little unfamiliar, but Melody’s eyesight was very good. She immediately saw the staff pass on the other party’s chest, “Central Hospital, Deputy Hospital Director, Liam Scott,”
If nothing unexpected happened, Liam Scott was probably the person Dr. Rodney Stanton called to help her.
The others also saw Liam and quickly greeted him. “Deputy Director!”
Liam nodded slightly and walked up to the group of people. “What happened?”
As he spoke, his eyes searched quickly and soon landed on Melody.
Melody spoke up, “He…”
Dan’s eyes lit up when he saw Liam.
He quickly cut Melody off and said in a loud voice, “Uncle, these two people wanted to hit me! Fortunately, I ran away! Otherwise, they might have killed me with one punch! Also, I heard her call for help just now. She must have called for people to beat me up!”
