Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 263

The call was from Penny.

When Nathan answered the call, he heard a distressed-sounding Penny. "Nathan, come to the hospital right away! The doctors here are just too much!”

Nathan furrowed his brows, then gave Penny a few words of comfort to calm her down.

After finding out that Penny and her family were at Channing Second People's Hospital, he instructed Captain Walker to bring the Hounds to the hospital as well.

Then, he and Kylie got in their car and drove over.

Not long after, Nathan and Kylie arrived at Channing Second People's Hospital.

By then, the night had fallen and the streets were lit brightly.

The doctors and nurses who worked the day shift had already gotten off work, and there weren't many who were working the night shift.

There weren't many patients in the emergency department either, so the whole hospital appeared deserted.

On one of the benches in the waiting room, Penny, Leah, and Queenie were sitting next to a bloodied and bruised Benson.

The door to the emergency department was closed shut, which explained why Penny and the rest were all looking pretty mad.

Nathan walked over and asked, "What's going on?”

When Penny saw Nathan, she felt as if she found her strength again and calmed down considerably.

She fumed to Nathan, "The doctors here are just too much! He said dad's injuries aren't severe!"

"Then, he told me since he technically hadn't started his shift yet, we have to wait here until he did!"

Leah was also furious. "That's right! We've been pressing the emergency button for so long. A nurse came out, gave us a quick once over, then informed us that the doctor wants us to wait because he hasn't started his shift!"

Nathan frowned deeply.What's with the quality of doctors at this hospital?

Even if their shift hadn't started, they should still treat a patient's injuries right away!

"Where's the doctor? I'll go ask him myself," said Nathan.

Penny answered. "At the end of the corridor. In the doctors' on-call room."

Lacey's eyes were wide in surprise. "So that elderly man is injured because he was trying to help you?"

Yuri pursed his lips into a thin line. "What do you mean he was helping me? He was in way over his head. Didn't he know how old he was or what his body could or couldn't do? No one asked him to play the hero. So it's his own fault for getting beat up."

"No wonder you wouldn't go out and treat his injuries. But we can't just leave him there."

Yuri couldn't care less. "Another doctor should be here in an hour's time. If they're willing to wait, they can wait for the other doctor; if they're not, they can just go to another hospital.”

Yuri suddenly pulled Lacey into his lap and looked at her hungrily. "Let's not talk about the old man outside anymore. How about I give you a check up and see if you've gained or lost any weight."

Lacey giggled at his suggestions and continued toying with him, playing hard to get.

As they were giggling and flirting, the door to the on-call room suddenly flew open with a loud bang.

This startled Yuri and Lacey so much they jumped apart.

Yuri stared angrily at the doorway where Nathan and Penny stood. He yelled, "Have you heard of knocking? How uncivilized can you be to just barge in without permission!"

Nathan snorted, "You're one to talk about civility."
