The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love-Chapter 440: Walk away (6)

Time passed as quickly as sand slipping inside the sandbox but not even one second of it had been cordial between the grandson-grandfather pair.

"Cheng!! Did you just refuse to operate on Liao’s daughter?"

He didn’t bother to look up from the book he was reading. "Yes."

"Why the hell not?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"She ran over a kid with her car. She was drunk and driving while being underage and she has no remorse over it."

"So? The hell we stop treatment over something like that!"

The temperature plummeted.

"So the child’s life has no worth to you."

"Don’t put words in my mouth! I am saying that we cannot deny treatment-"

"You have denied treatment to many families because they couldn’t pay for it."

"Obviously, they have to pay. We are running hospitals, not charity. And we need money to keep the hospitals going. If every family comes tomorrow and says that they cannot afford treatment, then what are we supposed to do?"

"Help them get that treatment."

"That’s their job of having medical insurance," he coldly said, "We are only Gods at the operating table, not some heroes wearing capes to save their day everytime."

"Our hospital denied treatment to a woman who was stabbed in the stomach. The ambulance was taken to a faraway hospital instead of ours just because she didn’t have insurance. That woman is almost sitting paralyzed now because we denied timely care. If we are refusing patients at the gates, then we aren’t much Gods, are we?"

Yang Ruo Xuan took a severe step before him. "That’s how the Yangs have always run their hospitals. Don’t act like you are new to everything. We give the best treatment and we deserve to cough out the money for that best treatment. We didn’t become the best by being charitable. Which is why you will operate on that daughter."

"No."

"Yang Cheng-"

"If you are choosy with patients depending on their financial status, then I will be choosy with my patients depending on their moral ground. Go get some other doctor to treat that daughter."

His expression twisted. "No Cheng. It will be you who will do it or I will kick you out of the hospital."

Yang Cheng looked up.

"And trust me, I will ensure that you won’t be able to work in any hospital. You can try opening your own practice if you want, but I will crush it before it could sprout any wings."

His gaze turned colder.

"Just because you are a great doctor doesn’t mean that the hospitals will change their way of working. We are not some fucking angels and I will keep it that way. You will do your job the way I want you to do, got it?"

"I see. Go ahead."

"What?"

"Kick me out of the hospital. I will set up my own practice."

"Are you deaf?"

"I heard what you said and I will still do it. I know my skills and by this point, everyone in the medical field does. I would like to see how far you would be able to drag down my practice. And you would be left without an heir to take over. Please feel free to find someone else."

"How dare you-"

"Also, I am getting married."

"Excuse me?"

"Are you deaf?"

His expression worsened as if was standing around disgusting trash that smelled of rotten eggs.

"I am getting married tomorrow. You can attend the wedding if you like or be cooped up in your room."

Yang Ruo Xuan blankly stared at him. "Absolutely NOT!"

"I don’t care what you think. I am getting married tomorrow."

"No, you will not! You will marry with the choice of woman I want you to marry! Who is that woman? The one who proposed to you? There is absolutely no background about her and I won’t accept such a lowly woman-"

The book shut with a menacing thud and Yang Cheng finally left his seat as he walked towards him. It was quite evident that Yang Cheng had reached the peak of his anger and the quieter he looked, the more danger seeped into the air.

"This is my last warning. Say anything degrading about my wife and I will walk away this instant and never look back. From everything. Your house, your hospitals, your legacy. If it’s not been clear to you, then let me spill it out. I don’t care about the Yang family name. I don’t care what our reputation looked like in the past. I only know the future that I want it to become.

But you have questioned my decisions and imposed your tyranny every step of the way. And I won’t have it anymore. I won’t operate on that girl, I will marry the woman I want to, and I will walk away if I have to. Then you can run your hospitals the way you want. You can groom your next heir the way you want him to be. And you can take your last breath in this huge mansion alone and all by yourself."

Yang Ruo Xuan clenched his jaw hard.

"It’s up to you to decide now."

Yang Cheng took a step closer, looking him straight in the eye. "You have already lost out on a lot," he said quietly, thinking about Xie Zi Han.

"You have no idea that you have already lost everything and you will never know what you have truly lost. So for once I will advise you to just shut your mouth and relinquish your control. Over the hospitals and over my life. You are way too old now for this tyrannical shit so just sit in the garden and look at the birds."

Yang Ruo Xuan trembled with rage, but no words came out. For the first time in his life, authority slipped through his fingers like sand and he couldn’t do anything about it.

Yang Cheng turned away without another glance. The door closed behind him with, not loud, not dramatic, yet heavier than any slam.
