Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Threats and intimidation
“Finally, the Queen has graced us with her presence,” a sarcastic voice chimed inside the office and Ariana scrunched her burrows. She stepped inside the office and came face to face with the man who was standing in the middle of the office while a woman sat on the consultant chair.

The man with his pompous yet good-looking face turned on his feet such that he was facing Ariana completely.

“Where were you? Do you have any idea how long we have been waiting for you here?” The man questioned Ariana as if she was a criminal headed for the gallows.

“It seems you have some misunderstanding, sir. I cannot be your consulting doctor,” though annoyed by the condescending tone of the man, Ariana politely said to him, “My duty doesn’t start until four in the evening, it’s two in the afternoon, sir.”

Mister Sandler however waved his hand and said, “We were referred here, now stop wasting my time and diagnose her.” He tipped his chin to the woman who flinched.

“But——”

“God damn it, are you not a doctor? Does it matter whether or not you are a doctor on duty? If there is a life in danger will you try to save that person or will you quibble with your patient that you are not on duty? If this is your attitude, I don’t think you should be here,” said Mister Sandler as his light copper eyes glared at Ariana.

Ariana pursed her lips. This man did not seem reasonable, talking to him was like talking to a wall.

With a sigh, she walked over to the table and then picked up the stethoscope before saying to the woman, “Breathe in,”

The woman did as she was told before releasing her breath when Ariana asked her to.

A frown appeared on Ariana’s face before she took the wrist of the woman. She said to her, “Can you show me your tongue?”

The woman nodded as she opened her tongue and showed it to Ariana who took a careful glance at the inside of her mouth followed by her eyes.

“What’s going on with her?” In the middle of her examination, she heard the man ask.

Ariana wished she could hurl the blood pressure measuring machine at the head of the man but she calmed down and replied, “Everything is fine, it’s just that she is pregnant and hasn’t been paying any attention to her health. Since its more than three months, she needs to take multivitamins——”

“Can you sign this?” Ariana did not even finish speaking when the ill-tempered man spoke up again and this time around he pushed a piece of paper in front of Ariana.

Not understanding what the man was trying to do by asking her to sign a form when she was telling him how to care for his pregnant woman, she took a peek.

Her expression however changed with that one peek because it was an abortion permission form that required the consent signature of a doctor before a legal abortion procedure could be performed.

This consent form was to confirm that the condition and health of the woman were up to the surgical standards, which clearly wasn’t the case in this situation. In case something was to happen to the patient, it would be the fault of the doctor.

Ariana now seemed to have understood why this man came in a hurry to see her, who was just an intern.

She closed her eyes and opened them before saying, “No, I cannot. Your wife is not in any condition to go through an abortion surgery. In case something happens to her, I will be responsible and I am just an intern. You can ask the senior doctors to take a look at your case,—-”

“Damn why are you wasting so many words, just sign it and be done with it,” Mister Sandler said to Ariana as he banged his palms on the surface of the table.

“Like I said,” Ariana stated coldly with a stern gaze pointed at the man. “Your wife’s condition is not stable enough to have an abortion. If she aborts this child, there is a very good chance that she will never get pregnant again. I cannot sign a consent form for such a risky surgery.”

She had a feeling that this man was here to just get a sign as well as to create an escape route and Ariana was not willing to become one.

“One million,” the man said with one of his fingers raised in the air. “I will give you one million, sign this form.”

“No,”

“Two million then,”

“I said no!”

The man gritted his teeth before saying, “Very well. Five million,” he smirked and said, “You will never earn such a big amount in your life. Just a sign and you will get five million dollars.”

Ariana heaved a sigh before raising her head to look at the man who was smiling at her smugly.

“I am sorry but my ethics are not something that you can buy,” Ariana calmly stated. “I am just a small intern, by the way, handing this sum of money to the senior doctors will be better.”

“Damn you bitch, are you trying to act smart?”

“Bitches bark, Mister Sandler. They do not sign consent forms,” Ariana did not get angry at the crude remark of the man instead she sassily replied causing the man’s face to turn red.

“Do you have any idea what I can do? The things I can do——”

“I have no family, Mister Sandler. I have two friends one is the daughter of a rich family, one you cannot even meet without an appointment, and the other one is a lawyer. Do you want me to hand their phone numbers to you?” Ariana was not one to be threatened. As for her own life—— she did not have any particular interest in keeping it.

At least not at the expense of losing it all.
