The next day, when Sabrina got up and went to work, she realized that the car in the yard was different than usual.
Therefore, she raised her voice and shouted, “Brucille, what’s that new car in the yard doing?”
“That’s the birthday present I bought for Monique,” he replied.
When Tyrion heard that, he rushed out with the toothbrush still in his mouth. When he saw the car, the toothbrush dropped from his mouth. “My gosh, this sports car is worth more than 2 million yuan! Did you spend all your savings?”
Hearing that, Sabrina was elated. “You have finally come to your senses, Bruce. But where did you get 2 million yuan?”
At that moment, Monique dressed up neatly and walked down from the stairs. When she saw that everyone was surrounding her car, as if they were looking at an alien, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? He bought such an expensive sports car for you, yet you guys still slept separately last night?”
Monique probably did not expect her mother to say such a thing. Meanwhile, it put Brucille in an embarrassing situation. In response, Monique simply muttered, “I’m going to work.”
After that, she took her bag and left.
Tyrion cried out, “Hey! Why aren’t you driving your new car? Besides, how am I supposed to go to work if you don’t drive?”
Without even turning her head, she retorted, “Dad, do you think it’s appropriate for me to drive a sports car worth 7 million yuan to work?”
After that, she left and disappeared from the yard.
Watching her retreating figure, Tyrion swallowed the remaining toothpaste in his mouth. Then, the old couple stared at Brucille in surprise. A terrible question suddenly emerged in Sabrina’s mind. She questioned, “Brucille, how much is this car? Tell me honestly.”
“If we include all the modifications, it’s about 7 million. But don’t worry, I didn’t need a loan for this,” Brucille responded.
“That’s the problem. Where did you get so much money?”
“Didn’t I tell you that I made some money when I went stone trading with Tommy previously?”
Sabrina found it hard to equate “a little money” to “seven million yuan”.
Tyrion finally came to his senses. Finally tasting the toothpaste he had already swallowed, he rushed into the bathroom to rinse his mouth before quickly coming out again.
“Brucille,” he called.
However, Brucille had already left.
Therefore, Tyrion had no choice but to take a bus to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, Donald approached him as soon as he sat down in his office.
“Mr. Chao, are you here to inspect my work?” asked Tyrion.
“Tyrion, don’t say that. You and I have been friends for more than ten years. In three days, there will be a Merchant’s Fair in the city. After the fair, there will also be a reception banquet. Because of the high standard of the event, the hospital is required to station an elite medical team there.”
Tyrion had already received some documents earlier. He was aware that the city paid great importance to the Merchant’s Fair. Therefore, he enquired, “What do you mean? Do you want me to lead the team?”
“No, no. I’ll leave that to Dr. Hwang of the internal medicine department, and then mobilize the doctors from the surgery and gastroenterology department. Besides, they have not been assigned for anything. I have also arranged for Monique to join you too,” informed Donald.
Tyrion felt that Donald had changed a lot compared to the past. “Okay, Donald. Thank you for doing so much for me.”
“Tyrion, there’s no need to be so polite. You still have a long way to go in the future. Go back and tell Brucille that both you and your daughter are doing fine here. Tell him to stop thinking about me. That will be a great blessing for me.”
Hearing his words, Tyrion could only smile ruefully. It wasn’t as if the relationship between Donald and Brucille was a matter of life and death.
Of course, he was not aware that Donald’s words had an underlying meaning. Donald had done all that Brucille had requested, but Donald didn’t know whether the three minute video still existed.
Yet, he couldn’t possibly ask Brucille directly. If he did, he would cause himself more trouble. Hence, he decided to have Tyrion to convey the message, hoping that Brucille could get the meaning.
After Donald left, Tyrion immediately called Brucille. “Brucille, how did you persuade Donald to allow me to work here again?”
“Dad, I’ve told you everything about this already. It’s all because he admires your medical skill,” Brucille replied.
Nevertheless, Donald thought that that reason was too far-fetched. It wasn’t as if Tyrion had gained his medical skills recently. Therefore, he pressed, “He just told me to tell you not to keep an eye on him anymore. Why would a dignified director be afraid of you keeping an eye on him?”
Brucille replied helplessly, “Maybe he is timid. Don’t worry, I have never threatened him. Besides, I am a kind person. Don’t you think so?”
Tyrion failed to glean any valuable information from Brucille, but he was sure that he had something that held Donald at his throat.
If not, there was no way Donald would treat him so cordially judging from Donald’s character. He had even arranged for an easy assignment for Monique, too.
When Monique found out about the assignment, she was completely shocked. After all, she was devising ways to avoid Culver. Therefore, she had not thought about what to say if she met him.
The director of the surgical department gave her an important duty to ensure that Spring River City Merchant’s Fair would proceed smoothly. Since it was a political related task, no mistakes were allowed.
Henric chuckled. “Don’t be so nervous. There are a lot of similar assignments every year, but there are never any accidents. You should know that there will be more policemen on that day than doctors. They will definitely guarantee your safety.”
Of course, Henric didn’t know what was on Monique’s mind. Monique quietly asked, “Can I not go?”
“Are you crazy? Don’t think that this is a trivial matter. This adds a lot of weight for your future evaluation. It’s almost as important as an army carrying out a mission. It will bring you a little bonus, although you can’t see it now.”
“And if you refuse, our director will be very embarrassed. I believe you want to avoid that,” Henric added.
After Henric’s explanation, she finally understood what it was like to have no control over one’s decisions.
The following day, the medical team of a total of 11 people, with Dr. Hwang of the internal medicine department as their lead, gathered together. They held a meeting in a small conference room to have a rehearsal.
The hospital was familiar with the event medical assignment as they had participated many times and were very experienced.
During the meeting, Fredrick Tao announced, “In order to ensure that the assignment will be completed successfully and also to give an assurance to the entrepreneurs who are participating in the fair, we’ll all need to dress casually and station ourselves at the venue. This is to handle various unexpected situations. We’ll have four people stationed in the ambulances in case of any emergencies…”
Monique’s hopes were shattered again. She was not one of the four. Perhaps they had stationed her at the venue to soothe any unexpected patient’s emotions because of her good looks.
Therefore, she had to stay at the banquet. At the thought of facing Culver, her heart beat precariously.
