Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 264

Penny glared at Yuri. "No wonder you kept coming up with excuses to not treat my father! You're the driver at that accident earlier! My dad was beat up because of you!"

"My dad stood up for you, but when those gang members attacked him, you ran off!"

"And now my dad's in the hospital but you refuse to see him or treat him! Do you have no conscience at all?"

Hearing Penny's rebukes, Yuri flew into a rage. "Your dad was meddling in something he had no business in. What has that got to do with me?"

Penny was so exasperated she wanted to argue with him some more.

But Nathan put a hand on her to stop her, then spoke to Yuri solemnly. "We'll drop this matter for now. Currently, the more important thing is my father's various injuries. You, as a doctor, should fulfill your responsibilities and treat them.”

Yuri really couldn't care less at that point and refused to budge. He crossed his arms and stared at Nathan and Penny. "Who do you think you are? My boss? Why do I need to listen to you?"

"Listen carefully. In this hospital, whatever I say goes."

"You can either go outside and wait like good little kids, and I might give him a look when my mood gets better, or you can all just get lost."

Penny's eyes widened in anger and shock. How can someone not only be so heartless, but so arrogant as well!

Nathans eyes darkened. "I gave you a chance, but it looks like you're not interested in it."

"What are you going to do about it? Complain to my bosses?" snickered Yuri.

"I should let you know that my immediate boss is like a brother to me, and I often meet the higher ups for drinks. So I wouldn't be too surprised if your complaints fell on deaf ears."

Then to Yuri's surprise, Nathan actually whipped out his phone and made a call to Mayor Russell Crow. "Who's the Chief at Second People's Hospital? Have them meet me in the emergency department in five minutes."

Yuri broke out in laughter when he heard Nathan's phone call. "What a load of crap."

While on the way, he found that the house slippers were irritatingly slowing him down, so he kicked them off and continued dashing over, fearing that he would be late. Thankfully he made it within the given time frame.

When they saw Harrison coated with sweat and trying to catch his breath, Yuri and Lacey's eyes grew so wide their eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.

"Chief Lambert,” they croaked.

But Harrison Lambert didn't even spare them a glance. He trotted over to Nathan and tried to be as respectful as he could while still gasping for air. "Nice to see you, Mr. Cross. Hopefully I wasn't late."

"No, you came just in time," smiled Nathan. "I would like to file a complaint about one of your doctors."

"Mr. Cross, please go on. Just let me know which doctor offended you or was irresponsible in anyway. I will definitely punish them severely."

Yuri's face immediately drained of all color.
