Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 65 Shameless Family

Maya, seeing that it was Ivy, immediately responded, "Doctor Jones, your father and a group of people from his village are causing trouble." Her tone carried a mix of disdain and contempt for Ivy. The staff at the County Clinic viewed Ivy, an up-and-coming doctor with great potential, as an annoyance. They were already dealing with numerous patients every day, and now they had to deal with the unsophisticated folks from Harry’s village, who were making a scene. Maya felt this situation was unfortunate. She explained, "Doctor Jones, Zedd has dislocated his shoulder. He was brought in by Harry and the people from his village. Nurse Zaya tried to follow the standard procedures, but Harry thought it was too slow and slapped her in the face. Now, they are causing a scene, demanding expedited treatment." Maya had just finished speaking when Harry's curses could be heard, "My Zedd, is the sole heir of the Jones family. If any harm comes to him due to your incompetence, I'll dig up your ancestors from hundreds generations back!" On the ground, Amara was crying, and Grandpa and Grandma Jones were confronting a frail nurse, shouting, "Get that Ivy, who's here to make money, out of here!" Ivy gazed coldly at the absurdity unfolding in front of her, then spoke in a composed manner, "I'm right here." She calmly walked toward Harry, who had pulled at her collar and dragged her to the bed of Zedd. Ivy was seething with anger, but she held back her emotions and kept her composure. She stood upright and observed the condition of Zedd on the bed with an expressionless face. Then, she ordered Zaya, "Get him into the emergency room." Ivy assessed Zedd's condition and realized that it wasn't too severe. She knew this was a matter that Alyssa could handle. Thinking of this, she instructed, "Alyssa, you're in charge this time. I'll supervise from the side." "What?!" Harry couldn't accept this and protested loudly. "This Alyssa is just an intern doctor. You... Are you treating human lives as a joke?" Ivy ignored their protests, patting Alyssa's shoulder lightly and assuring her, "Don't worry. With me here, nothing will go wrong." Harry, consumed by anger, pushed Ivy onto the sofa. His furious outburst caused the veins on his face to bulge. His furious rage had nowhere to go. He grabbed an iron rod used to secure the bed frame. "I'm going to teach you a lesson today in front of everyone here!" Saying this, Harry swung the iron rod at Ivy. Ivy swiftly evaded the blow, and Harry's iron rod struck the metal bed railing with a loud "clang," leaving a noticeable dent. Roland, who had rushed over just in time, witnessed the incident. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that if the iron rod had struck Ivy, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With this thought, Roland's expression darkened. He immediately took the iron rod from Harry and forcefully pushed him to the ground. Harry didn't react in time and was pushed against the wall, resulting in a gash on his head. "Harry!" Amara rushed to his side, using tissues to wipe away the blood, and tearfully shouted at the medical staff, "Why aren't you coming over to disinfect him?" Grandpa and Grandma Jones, who were fuming, rushed to Roland's side. One held his upper body, and the other held his legs, preventing him from moving. "Harry, get up! We've got him pinned down. We're old folks, and he wouldn't dare touch us. Hurry and take revenge!" Grandma Jones shouted at Harry, while pinching Roland's arm. She was quite the shrew. Harry was helped up by Amara, about to step forward when Ivy sternly shouted, "Stop making noise! Are we saving Zedd or not?" Everyone paused. When Grandpa and Grandma Jones heard their precious grandson's name, they immediately let go of Roland and started crying. "Ivy, I've never begged you before, but I'm begging you now. Zedd is the only male descendant of our Jones family!" Uncle John added, "Ivy, quickly treat Zedd's illness. Due to your mother's inability to conceive a son, he was adopted into your family. This is the misfortune she brought, and today you must atone for your mother's mistakes!" Ivy turned around. "I am a doctor. I save anyone who is sick. The responsibility of the man in not being able to have a son is even greater. Instead of blaming everything on my mother here, it's better to go for an examination!""You!" Harry's anger rose when he heard her words. "You ungrateful wretch!" "Shut up!" Ivy growled. Her cold gaze seemed to contain razor-sharp light, and inexplicably, it made Harry afraid. He glanced around, still grumbling, but he didn't dare provoke her again when no one else spoke. Seeing everyone silent, Ivy instructed Alyssa, "Hurry and prepare. I'll be there shortly." Alyssa had been confident that she could reset Zedd's dislocated joint after examining his condition. Of course, without Jones' approval, she couldn't perform the operation herself. So, she cherished the opportunity Ivy gave her. Thinking of this, Alyssa's heart was suddenly filled with determination. She nodded vigorously at Ivy before turning to prepare. Ivy stood up again, picked up the blood-stained tissue that Amara had dropped, and handed it to Roland. "Dr. Roland, could you please throw this away for me?" Roland frowned, curious, but nodded, "It's a small favor." Zedd's ‘surgery’ soon began. Strictly speaking, it was the ‘surgery’ that Harry hoped for. Ivy conducted a thorough examination of Zedd and found that, apart from the dislocation, he had no other issues. It was a simple procedure to reset it. Having assessed Alyssa's abilities, Ivy was confident that she could handle a dislocation case like this. So, Ivy stood by and watched as Alyssa methodically treated Zedd's injury without raising any doubts. As Zedd's painful expression gradually eased, Ivy patted Alyssa's shoulder in satisfaction. "After the treatment, let him be discharged and go home for recovery." After saying this, she turned and returned to her office. There, Roland was staring blankly at the bloodied tissues. Seeing Ivy holding a box, he had a guess. Taking what Ivy held, Roland said, "Our clinic can't do paternity tests. It needs to be sent to the city. You still have to deal with that family. I'll take care of it now, I'll help you." Roland had known Ivy's family background since he had a crush on her. He knew she had a difficult upbringing in a family that favored male children, which was one of the reasons he felt so much compassion for her.He had once dreamed of being a hero, rescuing Ivy from any hardship she might face. Though he was a step behind, he was determined to help her as much as he could within reasonable and legal boundaries. "The test results will be available tomorrow morning," Roland added before leaving. "Thank you, Dr. Roland," Ivy said with a smile, making Roland blush. He gave a goofy grin, rubbing the back of his head, and said, "You're welcome. We're all family here." Just as Ivy was about to deal with her work, Maya rushed into her office, agitated and pulled her out. "Dr. Jones, you need to handle this. Harry and his shameless family haven't paid the medical bills, and they're causing a scene!" Ivy smiled wryly, "Let me guess, they're demanding that I pay, right?" Maya was surprised, "How did you know?" Just as she finished speaking, Harry's voice reached their ears. "I'm a relative of Dr. Jones, and relatives don't have to pay for medical treatment. You pay her such a meager salary, how about giving us some special treatment?" As Ivy looked in that direction, she saw Harry, taking advantage of his height, berating the head nurse, Zaya. Meanwhile, Grandpa and Grandma Jones were lying on the ground, making a scene. "County Clinic people are bullying us, common folks. Our granddaughter is working like a horse for your clinic!" The head nurse, Zaya, was infuriated. She had never encountered such a shameless family. Harry was about to start cursing again when he noticed Ivy nearby. The disheveled appearance and vile language he used suddenly disappeared. He gestured to his elder sister to look at Ivy and proudly stated, "Look, my daughter is here. She's the highest-ranking official in this hospital after your director. If you don't stop whining, I'll have her fire you right now!" So now he's calling her a daughter? Zaya's face turned red with anger, and she looked at Ivy coldly. "Dr. Jones, do you know how to handle this?" ***
