All Karen could think of was to escape when she faced Pierre's questioning.
"Pierre, it's getting late. Get some rest. Trust me, I'll find you a good doctor to fix your leg."
After that, she left the ward as though she was fleeing.
Downstairs, a nurse on duty was briefing the VIP ward nurse on Pierre's condition, who had
been transferred from the detainment ward.
After the VIP ward nurse learned about Pierre's condition, she replied, "Alright, I've got the
gist of it. But is there anything specific to take note of?"
"Yes, he can only sit or lie down. Try to keep him in bed as much as possible. Dr. Park said
his leg won't recover easily, even with rehabilitation. So, we need to be careful. Who
knows, the patient's recovery might improve later on," said the nurse from downstairs.
"Yes, try to keep him in bed..." The VIP ward nurse glanced at the patient's name in the
records. "His family name is Mallory. Could it be the legendary Mallory family?"
"That's right. He's the heir of the Mallory family. But, unfortunately, his leg is pretty much
done for..." replied the nurse. As nurses, they did not really know much about Pierre's
lifestyle. They were intrigued by Pierre's handsome appearance.
He was such a good-looking man, but he had a disabled leg. What a pity.
"Let me check the records." The VIP ward nurse looked at the documents and added,
"Actually, complete recovery is not entirely impossible."
"That's what Dr. Park said," added another nurse. The hospital staff believed in Dr. Park's
assessments.
When Johann mentioned that the patient had a high probability of recovering to some
extent, the patient would ultimately recover to that extent.
"Dr. Park didn't tell you another thing, though." The VIP ward nurse smiled and shook her
head.
"What? Is there a chance for a full recovery?" The nurse, realizing the other two had to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwrap up the medical records handover, began to quietly gossip under her breath.
"Don't you know we have a legendary figure on our floor?" The VIP ward nurse winked,
glanced at her, and continued sorting the documents.
"Who? Is it Dr. Park? It can't be. Although Dr. Park is amazing, judging by your tone, I'm
guessing it's not him," replied the nurse.
"Indeed, it's not Dr. Park. We had a patient here who had a sudden hemorrhage in the
pericardium. This genius decisively treated the patient, and she even treated his
neurological diseases.
"Her dry needling skills are extraordinary. I heard Dr. Wood say that her dry needling
methods are different from usual. She targets some really specific spots, not the usual
traditional positions. But the results are excellent.
"Previously, another patient had movement problems due to brain damage, and she used
her dry needling methods to treat the patient. According to Dr. Park, this patient is almost
as good as a normal person.
"I think if this genius could perform dry needling on the second young master of the
Mallory family, there might be a chance for him to recover to a normal state."
"That's impressive!" The other nurse could not help but exclaim. "Why haven't I heard
about this?"
"Dr. Park said that this person is not a doctor. If it's widely publicized, we'll be putting her
in a difficult position. She doesn't work as a doctor but a pharmaceutical professor,”
explained the VIP ward nurse.
"She's seriously awesome. If she could work at our hospital, she could help so many
people." The nurse could not help but sigh.
"Alright, I'm just sharing the news with you. Her dry needling skills are indeed remarkable,
and they're different from the traditional dry needling technique. She yields excellent
results too.
"But it's just my speculation that she can treat the second young master of the Mallory
family. Keep it to yourself. Don't spread it around. I'm afraid the head nurse will have a
chat with me if this gets out," warned the VIP ward nurse.
"Okay."
"I've double-checked the document, so there's no problem," said the VIP ward nurse.
"In that case, I'll head downstairs to continue my shift." The nurse took the document,
turned around, and walked toward the elevator.
The conversation between the two was overheard by Karen, who was at the corner.
Someone who knew dry needling?
Dry needling technique could be used for physical therapy. Karen was aware of that. If that
person helped Pierre with his therapy, would there be a chance for improvement?
Karen stood there and only walked out after a few minutes.
The nurse who was on duty saw her approach and asked with a friendly smile, "Madam
Mallory, are you leaving?"
"Yes." Karen initially wanted to inquire about the person who knew the dry needling
technique. However, considering what the nurse had just said, she realized that asking
now might not yield much.
She gathered her thoughts, took out a pre-filled check, and handed it to the nurse. "Please
take extra care of Pierre."
The nurse on duty was startled for a moment. She looked at the several zeros written on
the check and quickly waved her hands. "Taking care of patients is our duty. We can't
accept money. Madam Mallory, please take this back."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation." Karen did not take back the check.
The nurse on duty was about to burst into tears. As healthcare professionals, they could
not accept money. Moreover, Karen was trying to give her money in a monitored area. Was
she trying to get her fired?
She took a step back, not daring to touch the check. "Madam Mallory, please keep the
check. We'll do our job and take good care of the patient."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaren frowned slightly when she saw the nurse was reluctant to accept it. In the end, she
had to put the check away and said, "Fine. If there's anything with Pierre, notify me
immediately."
"We will," replied the on-duty nurse, feeling relieved that Karen had put away the check.
It was kind of surprising that even in this modern era, someone would openly pass along a
check.
What was the point when she was only a nurse?
The nurse on duty had no idea about Karen's intentions. Thus, she found her behavior
quite perplexing.
Karen intended to give the nurse a check to build a good relationship with her first. Then,
she would ask the nurse for the information about the person skilled in dry needling.
However, since the nurse adamantly refused the check, Karen had no choice but to leave.
As she left, she noticed one of the surveillance cameras was pointing toward the nurse's
station.
Suddenly, it dawned on Karen. That was how it was.
Medical staff were not allowed to accept gifts or money from family members. Karen was
too anxious when she handed over the check to the nurse just now, assuming it would be
fine since there were no other hospital staff around.
What she overlooked, though, was that hospitals were loaded with surveillance cameras.
Karen glanced back at the nurse on duty, noted her name, and took the elevator to leave.
The nurse on duty let out a sigh of relief only after watching Karen leave. She checked the
time and figured the head nurse had probably not gone off duty yet. Hence, she took the
initiative to report to her about what happened just now.
Even though she did not accept the check, there was surveillance as evidence. However,
in situations like these, it would be better to report it voluntarily to avoid any future
impact on her job.
After informing the head nurse, the nurse went back to organizing patient records without
letting what happened with Karen bother her.
