Chapter 195 Two Quarreling Men
The Platinum Haven Hotel originally only had a medical office, which I expanded into a small hospital. But due to a recent complaint and rectification, the "hospital" sign was taken down, and it became a special rehabilitation area under the hotel.
It was Jonas's first time here, and he looked around curiously.
The roadside was lush with greenery, the air fresh, and everywhere you looked were neatly trimmed plants and blooming flowers.
After looking around for a bit, he remembered to ask about our purpose, "What are you guys here for?"
Lucas mocked, "What else would we do at a hospital? You ask too many stupid questions."
"Got it, you're sick." Jonas's gaze moved downward, glancing between Lucas's legs, "Is your penis not working?"
Lucas raised his fist, "I'll show you what's not working!"
Jonas grabbed my sleeve with two fingers, "Bella, Lucas is going to hit me, protect me quick!"
I sighed lightly, "Are you two even three years old combined?"
Jonas let go of my sleeve and put his arm around my shoulder, "Bella, do you want to know why Gale and Julie fought?"
I raised my eyebrows, "You know?"
Jonas curled his lips into a smile, "Of course, Julie is my employee after all. It's normal for me to care about her life. I'm a good boss!"
Jonas looked at Lucas provocatively, "Julie and Gale fought because..."
"Because of Brenda." Lucas cut in first.
Jonas almost jumped up, "You stole my line!"
I asked Lucas curiously, "Brenda? What did she do now? How do you know?"
Jonas waved his hand in front of me, "Ask me, ask me, I know!"
I turned to him with a smile, "Go ahead then."
Jonas just opened his mouth, "Brenda she..."
Lucas cut in again, "She's been going to see Gale several times recently."
Jonas added, "Not just that! She's also been using the title of Gale's fiancée..."
Lucas interrupted, "To run up tabs at many luxury stores and restaurants."
Jonas glared at Lucas angrily, "Can you stop stealing my lines!"
"No." Lucas flicked Jonas's hand that was around my shoulder, looking at me and saying, "Anything you want to know, I'll find out for you."
Jonas gave Lucas the middle finger to express his disdain.
The touch of emotion rising in my heart was scattered by Jonas's gesture.
Just then, Roger appeared in the distance, waving, "Come over quick, take the special passage upstairs."
We walked over. I glanced at the regular elevators in the lobby and asked in confusion, "There aren't many people now, is it necessary to use the special passage?"
Roger rolled his eyes ungracefully, "Miracle Surgeon, do you have any idea how famous you are? After your identity was exposed, there's a bunch of people wanting to see you every day, plus a bunch of people recommending themselves to work here. If you don't mind being watched like a circus clown, feel free to take the regular elevator upstairs!"
I quickly waved my hands in refusal.
Jonas asked Roger curiously, "Are there really that many people looking for Bella?"
"What do you think?" Roger clicked his tongue in annoyance, like a volcano about to erupt, "To see you, those people pretend to be sick with all kinds of weird illnesses! Do you know how much our workload has increased during this time?"
I sighed lightly, "Okay, I'll give you a raise."
Roger's anger instantly subsided, "Sure, add a bit more, I'm really working hard."
Outside the CT room, Roger said, "Go on in, we cleared it in advance. After the exam, wait for the results in my office."
The examination ended quickly. Jonas asked me with surprise and concern, "Bella, what happened to your hand?"
"Got injured before, nothing serious." I answered with a light smile.
Jonas leaned over to look at my hand but was grabbed by the back of his collar by Lucas.
This time Lucas used more force. Jonas got choked and blurted out a curse word.
Lucas said coldly, "You're not qualified to hear the test results. You can leave now."
Jonas glared at Lucas while holding his neck, "I'm not qualified, but you are?"
Lucas sneered, "I'm Bella's family."
Jonas retorted, "What kind of family are you? You're just her ex-husband!"
Lucas calmly mocked, "You're nothing at all!"
I couldn't help but put my hand to my forehead. How many times a day did these two need to fight?
This building had twelve floors in total. The first floor had the reception desk, payment counter, and service windows. The second to sixth floors were examination areas with clearly distributed departments. From the seventh floor up was the inpatient department.
The medical staff wore uniforms and walked lightly and quickly. The corridors were quiet and clean, without any of the crowding and noise of public hospitals. The smell of disinfectant in the air was faint, mixed with a light fragrance. The patient rooms were converted from the original business suites, almost all single rooms with excellent privacy.
Roger's office was on the sixth floor. Just as we reached the door, Jonas's phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, I need to take this call." After speaking, Jonas hurried a few steps away.
Roger unlocked his office door with a key, complaining that there had been too many unknown people entering and leaving the medical area recently, so he had to lock the door every time he left his office, which was very troublesome.
Lucas urged me to go in together. I hesitated, standing in place, watching Jonas on the phone.
Jonas's expression didn't look good. His voice came over faintly,
"I've already done what you asked. I'm managing the family business well. What more do you want from me?"
"Do you want me to revolve around you 24 hours a day?"
"Can't I have my own life?"
Jonas raised his voice. The person on the other end said something, and Jonas closed his eyes in frustration. After a moment, he opened them and hung up forcefully.
"Damn it!" Jonas kicked a potted plant in the hallway in annoyance.
He walked back, his eyes full of helplessness, "Sorry, Bella, something came up that I need to deal with right away."
Lucas was in a great mood, "Get lost already, I've been finding you an eyesore."
I patted Lucas's arm, warning him not to talk nonsense, and asked with concern, "Ran into trouble?"
The helplessness in Jonas's eyes melted away as he looked at me gently, "Don't worry, just a small problem. I wanted to stay with you to hear the test results."
"No need, go handle your business, that's more important." I said.
"Okay." Jonas gave Lucas a light glance and reminded me, "Call me immediately if anything comes up."
I shook my head with a smile, "That's what I should be saying. If you run into trouble you can't solve, just speak up, we'll figure it out together."
"Okay." Jonas hugged me briefly, then quickly let go before Lucas's temper flared up, and strode away.
I watched Jonas's retreating figure. Lucas grabbed my wrist, "Let's go in."
I heard the displeasure in his tone and said helplessly, "Can you stop being jealous all the time?"
Lucas became even more unhappy at this, "You should be caring about your hand right now, his problems aren't yours to worry about!"
His tone wasn't good. I knew Lucas had put a lot of effort into my hand issue and didn't want to argue with him, so I took a deep breath and didn't argue back.
Roger was examining the CT images, "Bones, tendons, nerves - no physical problems."
Lucas immediately asked, "Then why can't she use her hand flexibly with strength?"
Roger stroked his chin, looking thoughtful, "Since there's no physical problem, the problem is in her mind. You'll have to ask Bella herself about that."
