The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 272 A Woman Not to Be Trifled With

The doctors were looking at each other, not one stepping forward to answer. If they told the truth, they'd surely offend Gabriel. If they kept up the lies and upset Liam, they would face consequences they couldn't bear. So, the best choice for the doctors right now seemed to be to keep their mouths shut and say nothing.

Seeing that not a soul among the doctors was willing to come forward with the truth, Liam's face showed his disappointment, and he shook his head, letting out a sigh. "Ah..."

Just as Liam was at the height of his disappointment, a young man wearing glasses stepped forward. His name was Owen Foster, a graduate of New York Medical University assigned to the county hospital. Although his performance was outstanding, he was still an intern after three years and had not become a full-time doctor. His contemporaries, even those less qualified and skilled, had secured their positions long ago. The sole reason Owen hadn't made it? He didn't flatter his superiors.

"Liam," began Owen, "right after Gabriel gave you an injection, it looked like you were gone for good. In fact, Gabriel had already declared you dead. Indeed, it was that man with what seemed to be a grimy, dirty needle who saved your life."

Owen's words shocked everyone. Gabriel jumped up like a stepped-on tail, pointing at Owen and demanding loudly, "Who are you? How did you worm your way into the county hospital? What are you babbling about here?"

Owen just laughed coldly in the face of Gabriel's interrogation. "Ha," was all he let out. Then, with an indifferent air, he said, "Of course you don't know who I am, Gabriel. After all, I never gave you a bribe. So naturally, my name never appears on the list of promoted interns. No surprise that you don't recognize me."

"What bribery? Stop slandering me with your wild claims!" Gabriel snapped back sharply.

"I get it now! You're in cahoots with this fraudster, trying to frame me in front of Liam?" Gabriel said, trying to turn the tables.
