A Replacement Bride

Chapter 226

Livid, the doctor pointed at the man and fumed, "Whom are you waiting for?! We have to pronounce their death now. You're wasting time and the hospital's resources! Their breathing and heartbeats have already stopped, yet you want to continue using the ventilators on them and take up the already limited ICU. You're abusing power here!"

The man frowned as a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. "I'm sure you don't need me to remind you who they are. Hastily announcing their death will only cause unnecessary distress to the public. Also, doctors are supposed to save lives. You can't just give up on them when they aren't completely dead yet!"

"Nonsense!" The senior doctor was so infuriated that his body shook. However, the man didn't want to continue the conversation anymore.

Just then, a security officer strode toward the man from the elevator and muttered, "She's on her way now, Mr. Gray. The plane will land at the hospital apron in ten minutes at the earliest."

"Get ready to pick her up," instructed Corey Gray gravely.

With that, the officer went to make the arrangements.

"Blasphemy! I'd like to see just who that person is. What is he? A god? Can he revive the dead?!" Flushed was the senior doctor's face as he flung his arm dismissively in anger, leading the junior doctors to approach and cool him down.

"No need to get upset, Dr. Digby. We'll know if he's the real deal once he shows up," said a middle-aged man while pushing his black-framed glasses after taking a frosty gander at Corey Gray.

To that, Malcolm Digby snorted but said nothing in response.
