Chapter 418 Standing His Ground

Maybe because the assassin had been so terrifying, Janice was now extremely alert. She stayed wary of strangers.

There was even fear in her eyes.

So when Maxwell spoke, she shrank back without thinking.

The heart monitor beside her let out a short warning beep.

Adrian looked at Maxwell and frowned.

“Sorry. The patient isn’t in a condition to talk right now.”

As he spoke, his hand slipped into his pocket. His thumb rested on the phone’s emergency call button.

He was only an intern doctor, but protecting a patient was his duty.

So he followed his instinct.

He stepped forward and stood in front of Janice.

Maxwell did not expect resistance, especially not from an intern.

This kid really wasn’t afraid of authority.

“Do you know,” Maxwell said coldly, “with just one phone call from me, your internship will be over?”

Adrian’s expression did not change. He stayed where he was.

“Mr. Ward,” he said calmly, “I think you understand the law better than I do. You know very well what legal responsibility you’d bear if something happened to the patient.”

He was nervous. Very nervous. But he forced himself to stand straight.

He made himself look fearless.

Maxwell sneered. He didn’t feel like wasting words on a nobody. He pulled out his phone and made a call.

Soon, Adrian’s phone rang. It was the inpatient department head.

“What? You let a patient face a strange lawyer alone?

“Dr. Gardner, you’re making things difficult for me.

“Yes, I’ll take responsibility for everything. But right now, I’m responsible for my patient.”

“Internship evaluation?”

“Dr. Gardner, I know. You’re saying this for my own good.

“But I’m sorry.

“I studied medicine to save lives. If I can’t even protect my patient, then even if I become a doctor one day, I’ll live with this guilt forever. I’d rather not be a doctor at all.”

He hung up. Right in front of Maxwell.

Maxwell’s face turned dark.

This was a chance to get an A for his internship evaluation. It could decide if Adrian stayed at the hospital.

And this intern just gave it up without blinking?

Maxwell was furious.

How could someone be this stubborn?

He took a deep breath. “I’ll give you one last chance. Leave now. Let me talk to Ms. Thornton. I’ll forget this ever happened. I might even help you stay at this hospital.”

He paused. His voice turned colder. “But if you refuse, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

Adrian clenched his teeth. “I’m not moving. Not unless my patient is able to speak with you safely. Otherwise… even if you kill me, I won’t step aside.”

Maxwell laughed from anger.

Fine. Very noble.

tes later, Oswald Gardner arrived with several doctors.

s fifty years old. His hair had thinned into a shiny bald spot. His belly stuck out like he was seven months pregnant.

clearly rushed here. He was breathing hard, sweat covering his face.

When he saw Maxwell, a hint of flattery flashed in his eyes.

His voice turned gentle.

“Maxwell, I’m so sorry. This kid doesn’t know how things work.”

Then, he turned to Adrian.

His face changed to fierce instantly.

“Get out. There are plenty of attending doctors here. We don’t need you causing trouble.”

Adrian bit his lip.

There was hurt in his eyes.

“I only know one thing. The patient isn’t fully conscious yet. She shouldn’t meet with any lawyers or police right now. No matter who comes, I will say the same thing.”
