Chapter 40 Is That an Apology?
For the Roberts family, this matter had taken an enormous effort. They pulled every string they had and spent a fortune, all just to get him here to treat a little girl who was in a coma.
For the sake of an acquaintance, plus the fact that the money they offered was really tempting, Brayden finally came here with his assistant and team.
But as soon as he arrived, he heard someone talking big. From that person's tone, it was clear they didn't take him seriously at all. This made Brayden furious, and he wanted nothing more than to tear the guy who had just bad-mouthed him to pieces.
Oscar at the scene looked very awkward.
Just moments ago, he had been trying to butter up Brayden, but the other party wouldn't give him the time of day.
However, Oscar quickly figured it out.
Putting himself in those shoes, if he were Dr. Caputo, facing this kind of slander and insult, he absolutely couldn't tolerate it either.
Thinking this way, his dissatisfaction instantly turned into anticipation.
At the same time, a cold, gloating smile appeared on his face.
This arrogant Anthony was finally going to get what was coming to him.
What's that old saying? An arrogant dog gets hit by a brick. Ha ha, that's exactly how it goes.
Full of anticipation, Oscar couldn't help but widen his eyes.
His gaze followed the angry Dr. Caputo's back, eager to watch a good show.
At this moment, Anthony, who had been facing the bed, had already turned around.
He even smiled and waved at Brayden, who was angrily walking toward him.
"Hey, Brayden, we meet again."
The relatives in the living room were all shocked when they saw Anthony's reaction: "What's going on? Why doesn't Anthony look panicked at all? Instead, he's so calm and composed, like he's got everything under control?"
"Right, I noticed that too. Could what he said actually be true?"
"Ha ha, ridiculous. This kid is definitely bluffing."
"Don't worry, everyone just wait and see. People who put on an act always get exposed eventually. Let's see how long he can keep it up."
Everyone was whispering, completely puzzled about why Anthony was so calm.
Suddenly, a scream rang out at the scene, almost piercing their eardrums.
"Oh my God, Mr. Bruce, is that you?"
This scream left everyone shocked and stunned again.
"Wait, that scream came from Dr. Caputo. Looks like Anthony was right, they have met before."
"But something's not right. Why is Brayden reacting so strongly? He looks like he's had a huge shock..."
"Yeah, what's wrong with Dr. Caputo? Why does he look so out of control?"
Amid the chatter, there was a "thud."
Dr. Caputo dropped straight to his knees in front of Anthony.
It wasn't that he wanted to kneel, but he couldn't help himself.
Back at the Bruce family, he had witnessed Anthony's superior medical skills with his own eyes and was completely shocked, which left him with serious psychological trauma.
After all, this young man possessed that kind of healing magic that had been lost since ancient times. This left him not only shocked but also deeply shaken.
Now seeing Anthony standing calmly at the scene, he felt like he was back in that moment. In his shock, he involuntarily knelt and bowed to Anthony again.
"My God, the famous Dr. Caputo actually knelt down to Anthony. Could what this young doctor said all be true?"
"Yeah, I'm starting to have doubts now too. I thought this young man was bragging earlier, but now I've completely changed my mind. Instead, I think this young man has a calm demeanor and a powerful presence."
Everyone was discussing in shock.
Oscar, who had followed over, was also completely stunned by this scene. He raised his hand and gave himself a hard slap.
Because he used too much force, Oscar grimaced in pain.
The scene just now was too shocking. He wanted to slap himself to see if it hurt. If it hurt, then everything he saw was real.
Oscar gasped, cursing himself internally.
Damn it, am I stupid? Why did I hit myself so hard? Couldn't I have just tried it lightly?
But since it hurt, that meant what he just saw was absolutely real.
After coming to his senses, Oscar jumped up in shock.
"My God, how is this possible?"
After snapping out of it, he reached out to pull Brayden.
While pulling, he said ingratiatingly:
"Dr. Caputo, what are you doing? Everyone knows you're a famous cardiovascular specialist. Why did you kneel down to this Anthony as soon as you came in? Did you mistake him for someone else? This guy just got out of prison."
"And he's just a criminal. You're kneeling and bowing to him - aren't you lowering yourself?"
He said this hoping to snap Dr. Caputo out of it.
Oscar was even thinking that Anthony must have cast some kind of terrible spell on Dr. Caputo.
Otherwise, as a famous cardiovascular specialist, even if his brain was waterlogged, he couldn't possibly kneel and bow to this Anthony the moment they met.
"Screw you, shut up—"
Brayden, whose shoulder was grabbed, completely lost it.
He backhanded Oscar with a hard slap.
"Get lost and don't interfere with my apology to Mr. Bruce."
Oscar, who had been slapped, covered his burning cheek, his face full of disbelief.
But the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and the intense pain on his face told him unmistakably that this had indeed just happened.
Oscar was so shocked his body kept trembling.
Even the muscles on his face started twitching.
His eyeballs had nearly popped out earlier.
He hadn't expected that while he thought Anthony was bragging, after Dr. Caputo arrived, it proved he was completely wrong. Everything he said was true.
The relatives at the scene were also staring with stunned eyes.
At this moment, they all looked at Anthony with deep shock in their eyes.
