My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 269

Bernard looked at the expression on Nicolas' face, and realized that something was wrong. He then rushed out of the ICU immediately.

"Mr. Ye, Mind your steps!" said the officials in panic as they saw the speed at which Bernard was rushing. Nobody expected that he was so attached to Peter and would take so much pain to ensure his safety.

Bernard ignored all of them and shoved away all the people who were coming in front of him. He rushed outside, only to see that Peter had been surrounded by a group of policemen.

"Stop! What are you doing? Why are you taking him away?" Bernard was shocked and ran towards Peter in an effort to protect him.

The doctors who had been mocking at Peter earlier were stunned now when they saw Bernard rushing away like that.

Wasn't he severely sick? Where was he going at that pace? How could he get out of bed and even think of going outside?

After they had come to their senses, they started to realize that Peter had cured Bernard. Suddenly they all blushed with shame, and they were eager to hide themselves to avoid the embarrassment.

"What are you doing? Step aside now!" Bernard shoved away the police angrily and came close to Peter at once. "Sorry for all this! It is sheer nonsense! I never expected that this could happen!" he apologetically said to Peter.

Even though the police didn't know Bernard, they could tell that he was a very prominent person because Nicolas was coming behind him.

The police stood aside meekly and felt lucky that they had not done anything wrong to Peter. If they had used any kind of force on Peter, they might have had to face repercussions for the same.

"It doesn't matter." Peter waved his hand. He didn't blame Bernard, but looked at Nicolas with anger and asked, "Am I free to go now? Or do you still need to keep me in custody?"

There was a silence all around.

Nobody expected that Peter could be so bold to question Nicolas like this.

Though Bernard, a man with great power, now owed Peter a great favor, he was not actually Peter's close associate yet. Nicolas was the local Communist Party's Secretary and his position was considered to be very prestigious.

Peter dared to question him like this in public. Didn't he know that this would offend Nicolas? What if Nicolas got annoyed and took it out in some other manner?

Nicolas' face turned sullen as everyone had expected. No one talked to him like that. He didn't expect that Peter would now dare to challenge him.

'This guy, who does he think he is, with so much arrogance? Does he think that Bernard would be his servant now that he has saved Bernard's life? How dare him challenge me!' thought Nicolas angrily.

However, Nicolas managed to control himself in front of Bernard. He now stared at Peter coldly and nodded, "Yes. You are free to go now."

"Uncle James, I'm leaving now. I'll come and visit you and Aunt Grace once I have time. Let's keep in touch!" Unmindful of Nicolas or Bernard, Peter turned towards James and said his goodbye to him. Then he turned around and left the hospital.

Nicolas was totally annoyed at all this. He didn't expect that Peter could be so arrogant that he would not even say thanks to him for sparing him so easily.

Besides ignoring him, what annoyed him the most was Peter's attitude towards James. His position was more prominent than James in the government authorities but he was respecting James while giving him the cold shoulder. What did he mean by behaving like this?

Peter didn't care about what Nicolas thought of him. He disappeared from their sight soon enough and let him mull over what happened.

He was rude because he didn't like Nicolas at all. Nicolas had commanded the police to have him surrounded and keep him under control without asking anything. What an unreasonable guy he was!

Peter would never be polite to such a man even though he was the local Communist Party's Secretary. He would not change his mind even if he were the governor.

"James, do you know Doctor Wang?" Bernard asked. He was also displeased by Peter's attitude, but he didn't mind too much as he had other things to do.

He could tell that Peter was not an ordinary guy. Though he was very young, he had profound medical skills and firm confidence which he displayed in front of people of power and prominence.

It would be great for him if he could make friends with Peter, and being his enemy did not seem a great idea. What was more, Bernard had become prone to falling sick again and again. He might need Peter's help again in the near future.
