Chapter 38 Your Body Is in Very Bad Shape
"Keep your promise?" Annie looked shocked and moved.
She never expected this handsome man to be so honorable and loyal.
Just now, she had clearly noticed Anthony's face showing complete indifference, as if nothing in the world could capture his attention.
But that Leander guy—just because he insulted her father, Anthony gave him a harsh lesson.
At this moment, Annie's heart was already racing with excitement, and she kept thinking to herself.
It seems Dad's judgment was right.
I knew it—how could Dad be so confused as to randomly send someone with a criminal record to my side for no reason?
Earlier, she had even started to doubt her father's judgment.
Thinking this way, her face flushed red and her heart beat even faster. With her face red and heart pounding, Annie's gaze turned toward the Roberts couple nearby.
"Mr. Roberts, Mrs. Roberts, Anthony wants to check on Isabelle's condition. We hope to have your permission..."
"Well, alright—"
Silas and Madeline hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
Just earlier, when family relatives had gathered together to discuss how to handle Isabelle's situation, it had already given the couple a massive headache.
But they never dreamed that the doctor Annie brought would actually lose his temper on the spot and hit Leander. This completely surprised the couple.
In their impression, real doctors were all refined and polite.
But what was that just now?
This young doctor directly threw punches, slapping Leander away with one hit.
Was he really a doctor and not a boxer?
The couple's dazed expressions came from their surprise.
Silas stepped forward and pulled hard on a curtain blocking part of the living room.
A large bed suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
To make caring for their daughter more convenient, they had placed Isabelle's sickbed in the living room.
As the curtain opened, everyone could see several hired medical staff in white coats doing nursing work for the unconscious Isabelle.
When Anthony saw the face of the girl lying on the bed, his expression froze.
In surprise, he couldn't help but let out a sound.
"So it's this kind of situation."
Madeline beside him looked surprised: "Mr. Bruce, have you seen this kind of condition before?"
Anthony was about to explain when suddenly a sharp voice came from among the family members.
"Wait—"
As the person spoke, a man in his thirties appeared before Anthony.
Seeing him come out, Madeline beside him quickly tried to stop him.
"Oscar, what are you doing? Don't be rude to the doctor."
But Oscar, who had stepped forward, had a face full of contempt.
"Doctor? Auntie, don't let him fool you. Have you ever seen such a young doctor in your life? To be blunt, even if he graduated from medical school, he doesn't have enough clinical experience."
While saying this, his gaze looked coldly at Anthony.
"Young man, you're simply ignorant and fearless. Although you came here to treat Isabelle and keep saying you won't charge money, Isabelle isn't someone just anyone is qualified to treat."
His tone was contemptuous. Anthony raised an eyebrow.
"You sure about that?"
Oscar snorted coldly: "Of course I'm sure. Tell me, how old are you to call yourself a doctor? You're really arrogant beyond belief."
"Today our family spent a fortune to invite a famous cardiovascular and neurological expert to diagnose and treat Isabelle. A young person like you should just stand aside."
After saying this, Oscar didn't even look at Anthony again.
As if he were a clown—looking at him too much would make one sick.
"Just now you agreed to let this Anthony treat Isabelle, but I firmly disagree.
After I came, I already explained the situation to you. This time, the family listened to my suggestion and spent a fortune to hire a famous cardiovascular and neurological expert to come.
With Isabelle's condition—being unconscious for such a long time—it should be a cardiovascular problem. But you guys, why did you invite this kind of so-called fraud doctor?"
Just through Leander's incident, Oscar had also learned some things about Anthony.
Knowing he had a criminal record made his expression even more disdainful.
"How ridiculous. Prison is a place to punish criminals. When did it become a training base for doctors?"
After saying this, Oscar thought Madeline would definitely follow his arrangement.
Thinking this way, Oscar's gaze turned to Isabelle lying on the bed.
He had always wanted to maintain a good relationship with Isabelle.
Now that Isabelle's body had such problems, their family spent a fortune to specially invite a cardiovascular expert to come.
Once she was cured, Isabelle would be grateful to him, and maybe she would see him in a new light.
In his imagination, this guy felt he had already established prestige in the family.
This made the corners of his mouth start to curl up continuously.
If it weren't for being in front of so many people, he would have laughed out loud with joy at this moment.
But just then, a calm inquiry came from beside him.
"What's the name of the cardiovascular expert you invited?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Oscar's nose nearly twisted with anger.
He saw it was Anthony asking him.
Looks like this kid still won't give up.
"What? Now you're asking who the expert I invited is? You're feeling insecure."
Anthony shook his head expressionlessly: "I'm not like you, indulging in wine and women all day, your body already depleted..."
"You..."
Oscar's face changed dramatically, his sore spot hit.
He never expected this young Anthony to actually say his body was weak.
This made him jump like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost leaping up on the spot.
However, at this moment, Oscar was also secretly puzzled.
How did he see this? Could it be he really has some skill?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he almost laughed at himself.
Has skill? How ridiculous. Is there such a cheap doctor?
Just now the other party had sworn that this treatment would be free. Who doesn't know that free stuff can't be any good?
In comparison, the cardiovascular expert he spent a fortune to invite—that was paid for with real money.
However, what used to be heartache had now become pride.
At this moment, Oscar even looked down with condescending pity.
"Fine, since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you."
