Chapter 103: How Could Catherine Go to the Hospital!
He just didn't believe it—if he told the Windsor family everything Catherine had done, would they still tolerate her?
He didn't want to take things this far, but that ungrateful Catherine brought it on herself.
Thinking this, Oliver let out a long sigh.
The thought of his health made him panic a bit!
"Clara, did Esme say when she's coming?"
"Esme is already on her way."
Hearing this, the Johnson family members sitting nearby decided to stay put in the hospital room.
If this Esme could really help, they'd do whatever it took to get her to contact George for them.
This was a matter of life and death!
Two hours later, Esme walked into Healing Touch Hospital with her chin held high, wearing a pink puffy dress, looking arrogant.
She hadn't been to such a rundown hospital in years.
Of course it was Catherine's hometown—growing up in this trashy place, no wonder she had that cheap air about her.
Clara spotted Esme from afar and rushed over excitedly.
"Ms. Windsor, you're finally here."
"Where's Catherine?"
Clara pointed upstairs. "She went upstairs. Upstairs is the OB-GYN and neurology departments. She must have gone to OB-GYN."
Esme's face lit up with delight!
When Catherine first returned to the Windsor family, George had arranged a complete physical exam for her.
There was no way Catherine had any brain problems.
Esme was still cautious though. "Do you know if Catherine knows anyone with brain problems? The kind that needs surgery?"
"No, Catherine never liked talking to people. She doesn't have any friends."
This made Clara angry just thinking about it.
Catherine had always acted so high and mighty since childhood, unwilling to acknowledge anyone.
When she was little, Clara had tried to be friends with her, but Catherine wouldn't even look at her!
Esme felt relieved, her face full of smugness.
"Then Catherine must have some secret lover she's keeping in her hometown, doing something wrong to the Windsor family. Otherwise why would she come to this trash hospital?"
Healing Touch Hospital was already the best hospital in Osflow, but to Esme it was garbage.
"Yes, you're right. My dad is also hospitalized here. When he heard you were coming, he wanted to meet you too."
Esme rolled her eyes, looking confused.
"Your dad? Why would he want to see me? Does he really think just anyone can meet me? That's ridiculous."
Being scolded by Esme like this, Clara felt very embarrassed!
Esme initially didn't want to go, but then thought—wasn't Clara's father Catherine's adoptive father?
"Lead the way. I'll go see him."
Clara, afraid she'd change her mind, led Esme straight to Oliver's hospital room.
Just as they reached the door, Esme almost couldn't get through because her dress was too big.
"What kind of place is this with such a small door!"
Oliver had been stretching his neck waiting for Esme, almost dying from anticipation!
Clara pushed from behind, and Esme's exaggerated big dress finally made it through.
"Ms. Windsor, I don't know when you can help me contact George? My health really can't wait!"
Esme frowned. "What are you talking about? Why would I help you contact George?"
Molly, who had been waiting, immediately rushed forward. "Ms. Windsor, our family is willing to pay top dollar, as long as you're willing to have George come treat my husband!"
Oliver glared viciously at the Johnson family members.
"We invited her here, what's it got to do with you? Ms. Windsor, you must help!"
Esme looked skeptically at Oliver lying in the hospital bed.
This kind of person was Catherine's adoptive father?
He looked greedy and cowardly at first glance!
Thinking that Catherine grew up around such people, Esme felt a strong sense of superiority.
She had no idea what Catherine thought she was competing with her for.
"I'll call George, but he might not agree. Not everyone deserves George's attention."
Esme took out her phone and dialed George's number.
"George, I have a patient here who wants to see you. Do you have time?"
George had just come off the operating table, exhausted. Hearing Esme's voice, he wasn't in a good mood.
He was about to refuse when he heard someone talking next to Esme.
"Dad, I really saw Catherine go upstairs. Upstairs there's only OB-GYN and neurology. I've never seen that man with her before either."
George immediately caught the key words and perked up.
Why would Catherine go to a hospital? If she wasn't feeling well, she should go to Bright Heal Hospital, or just tell him directly so he could check her at home.
Could there be something she didn't want to talk about?
Although Catherine had a full physical exam initially, in George's eyes, no possible health detail could be overlooked!
Catherine was so considerate—what if she had some discomfort but didn't tell the family and just endured it alone?
That absolutely wouldn't do!
"Send me the address. I'll come right away."
Hearing him agree, Esme happily sent the address.
When George saw the address was in Osflow, he became even more worried that Catherine had some discomfort she was afraid to tell the family about.
He grabbed his car keys and headed straight for Healing Touch Hospital!
Esme put away her phone, looking somewhat disdainfully at the two people lying in the hospital beds.
"George is already on his way. As for whether he'll be willing to treat you, that's not my concern."
Oliver and Steven were thrilled to hear George was actually willing to come.
They normally couldn't even see George's face, let alone ask him to treat them!
Esme enjoyed their flattery for a moment, then grew impatient.
"Where's Catherine? Hurry up and take me upstairs to find her!"
"Follow me."
Clara was also waiting to see Catherine make a fool of herself.
Molly frantically signaled to Lucas, hinting that he should keep Clara there for now.
Since Clara could actually bring someone from the Windsor family, she might be useful later.
Although the Johnson family looked down on Clara, they could use her temporarily.
Lucas looked at Clara with deep affection. "Clara, this hospital is so small, she can't run away. Let Esme go up by herself. I have something I want to tell you."
Meeting his tender gaze, Clara blushed.
Esme rolled her eyes, sneered, and left the room.
She could tell at a glance what kind of man Lucas was. Only Clara would treat him like a treasure.
Thinking that this kind of man used to be Catherine's fiancé, Esme felt somewhat regretful.
Why didn't Catherine marry this man before returning to the Windsor family?
Esme hurried upstairs and walked around the OB-GYN department but didn't see any sign of Catherine.
Could Catherine really have a brain problem?
Somewhat suspicious, she still lifted her skirt and went upstairs.
As soon as she got upstairs, Esme saw a familiar figure standing outside the operating room!
Why would Alexander be here?
And wearing scrubs?
Esme couldn't think about anything else, her breathing almost stopped!
Alexander looked so handsome even in scrubs—seeing him made her unable to move!
"Alexander, why are you here? I heard Gavin say before that you have a talent for medicine. Are you planning to study medicine?"
Esme felt somewhat uneasy.
If Alexander really studied medicine, the Howard family heir would definitely change, and he wouldn't be her best choice anymore.
But facing that face, Esme felt she could accept a little compromise!
