Donald knew that if Brucille stepped out of that door, his future would be completely ruined.
Therefore, he rushed over quickly to block Brucille’s exit. “It is a bit complicated. I am just trying to say that it needs time. I didn’t say that it can’t be done.”
“That’s good. I’ll give you one day.” Brucille replied.
Brucille knew that with Donald’s ability and position, recalling a doctor who had not committed a serious mistake back to work was merely an administrative procedure.
Furthermore, Tyrion still had connections in the hospital. The official reason for his laying off was due to a long-term illness.
Donald had never dreamed that things would turn out that way. However, someone really turned his life upside down that day.
That 3-minute short video was like a ticking time bomb. As long as the trigger in Brucille’s hand was pulled, he would be killed sooner or later, so the matter couldn’t be delayed.
To him, Brucille was Donald’s nemesis. Wherever Brucille was, Donald’s luck would be horrible.
Brucille had made it clear that Donald would only have one day to take care of everything, which meant that he had to make a decision before the next morning.
He dejectedly sat in his office, and then began to analyze and plan his upcoming actions.
Monique picked up her phone, then put it down again. Initially, she wanted to send Brucille a message to ask him what happened, but finally decided against it for her pride got the better of her.
She was a little tired after the morning’s work. Therefore, she rested in the lounge.
The nurse stationed had changed from her uniform and was ready to get off work. When she saw her, she asked, “Dr. Ching, are you all right?”
“Oh, it’s okay, I’m just a little tired,” Monique replied.
“You’re just too strong. You’ve only been here for a few days, but you’re already involved with operations and surgeries. Many doctors aren’t willing to do it. Anyway, Lily and I switched shifts so I’m off work early.”
The nurse seemed to be very happy each day. She produced a rose from her locker and explained with a smile, “It’s my birthday today. My boyfriend bought it for me when he went out in the morning. But look at it now, it has withered.”
“Happy birthday, Joanne. Although the flower has withered, his feelings for you are ever the same. Alright, go meet your date now!”
“Bye, Dr. Ching!” The nurse left, her laughter tinkling in the air like silver bells.
Monique smiled bitterly. Her birthday was soon arriving. She began to recall her birthday of the previous year . Although Culver did not show up, he had given her 999 roses. She didn’t know if she would receive a gift from him this time.
It was an opportunity for her to show off in front of her besties.
Brucille, however, had gone for a barbecue with his friends the previous year. He had not even been aware that it was her birthday.
Brucille did not know about her birthday the previous year because Monique had never told him about it. But it was different that year. Brucille had scrolled through his cell phone and had already found out about Monique’s previous birthday.
It was a birthday photo of Monique and her friends on her birthday. Everyone in the picture was female and there was also a huge bouquet of roses. However, Brucille was not there, which was enough to prove that he was not at the scene back then.
There were awfully few contacts in his cell phone, but Brucille had already begun to plan her a surprise.
When she got off work and returned home, Monique realized that no one was in the living room. After taking off her shoes, she went to Brucille’s room and found that he was playing games.
Brucille raised his head to look at her, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“It doesn’t matter. You can keep playing. It’s not like I have much hope for you.”
“Oh, okay.”
Monique was at a loss for words. He was like a dough. No matter how hard you tried to twist or pull it, in the end, it would still be just an ugly lump of wetted flour.
His resistance to change and improvement drove Monique crazy. However, the fire in her heart was quickly extinguished as soon as it was ignited. In the past, she had tried to accept him and live with him.
Her impression of him in the past few days had changed a little, and after that day, it was completely ruined.
Having bad luck with games, Brucille’s character in his game was defeated repeatedly. At a critical moment, just when he was about to make a comeback, his phone rang.
“F*ck, F*ck you!”
“What did you say? Brucille, how can you swear like that?” chided the caller.
“Who is it?” Brucille was so angry that he immediately shut down his game. Of course, he was not in a good mood.
“It’s me, Donald. Is it convenient for you to have dinner with me? We can also discuss Tyrion’s reemployment during the meal.”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
He didn’t expect Donald to be so efficient. Turning off his phone, he prepared to leave.
Monique, who was sitting on the couch, questioned, “Where are you going so late at night?”
“Oh, my friend invited me to a sauna. Do you want to tag along?”
Monique ignored him, but Brucille had already known that she wouldn’t want to go out with him.
Donald was driving a shabby car which was only worth about two hundred thousand yuan. Even though he was a director of the hospital, he still lived a frugal lifestyle. He even made the appointment with Brucille at a sauna house. After all, the place was a little more secluded so no one could hear them when they talked.
Sitting naked in the pool, Donald cut to the chase, saying, “Brucille, I have already informed the leaders of the bureau about Tyrion. He can start work tomorrow morning. Everyone says that you are a useless coward, but I think that you are the lucky star of the Ching family.”
“You managed to get Monique to work at the hospital. Now, even Tyrion, who had been on a long medical leave for many years, will be back on duty at the hospital. Are you satisfied now?” Donald continued.
The water in the pool was gurgling, and it felt comfortable immersing in it. Brucille replied, “If there is a masseur here, it will be more comfortable. By the way, since you are inviting my father-in-law to go back to work, shouldn’t you do it grandly?”
“My father-in-law was wrongly dismissed at that time. You can’t just welcome him back to the hospital so unofficially. Someone needs to pay him a visit and hold a gathering at the hospital with all hospital workers of the middle-level and above. Besides, when he returns, will his previous position be reinstated?” Brucille grilled.
Donald realized that the son-in-law of the Ching family was not a softie at all. He was the very embodiment of a cunning man. He had planned every detail for the sake of his father-in-law.
“Okay, my life is in your hands. As long as it is within my ability, I will not let you down. But what I want to say is that once Tyrion is back at work, the… thing must disappear forever.”
“Hey, Mr. Chao,” Brucille chortled. “Your kidney deficiency is rather serious; it needs treatment. I will give you a prescription that will work. By the way, come to my house to pick up my father-in-law before eight tomorrow morning. I will await your good news. Once everything has been carried out properly, you and I will have no business with each other anymore.”
After that, Brucille plunged into the pool and swam away.
While he was there, he decided to have a massage. It was the pinnacle of comfort. When he returned home, it was already past eleven at night and the whole family was asleep.
Donald had attended to him as though he was a respected elder. Before they left, he even treated him to some wine and sent him home personally.
Back at home, Brucille dizzily approached Tyrion’s room. “Dad, Dad, open the door. I have something to tell you!”
