Queenie lowered her gaze as she responded, “I was out of my mind previously, Mrs. Gardner. I should’ve never done such a thing. I’ve reflected on my mistakes, so I’m here to plead for forgiveness.”
Anna seemed even more displeased at Queenie’s continuous attempts to seek forgiveness, so she simply waved the woman off as she took a step back. “The person you lied to is Colton. You can talk to him if you want to. If he forgives you, then I, as his mother, will agree with his decision.”
There was a rather hurt look on Queenie’s face for a while, but she quickly wiped it off as she put on a serious expression. “Mrs. Gardner, I heard that Old Mr. Benedict is ill, so I got a doctor to come over.
This doctor is one of the top doctors in the field of neurosurgery,” Queenie uttered with her gaze lowered. There was a rather guilty expression on her face as she spoke.
Anna shot Queenie a rather suspicious gaze. After what happened at Triton Studio, Queenie had left a bad impression in Anna’s mind. Presently, Queenie could sense the uneasiness in Anna’s gaze, so she quickly added, “The doctor’s name is Pierre Toth.
I’m sure you’ve heard of him.” Anna’s expression seemed to calm down after hearing the doctor’s name. Pierre Toth was a famous neurosurgeon in the country, and Anna had intended to invite Pierre over until Colton rejected the idea. This was because Colton thought that Pierre was a rather unethical person when on the job.
Anna was still hesitating when Nicole spoke up beside her. “No.”
Queenie hadn’t expected Nicole to utter such a thing, so she paused her actions for a moment and looked into Nicole’s eyes before questioning, “I know I might have made mistakes in the past, but Pierre Toth is a really good doctor. For the sake of Old Mr. Benedict, can’t you just—”
On the other hand, Nicole was calm. She turned to look at Anna instead of maintaining eye contact with Queenie.
“I’ve heard of Pierre Toth in the past, Mrs. Gardner. He is pretty famous in his field, but his personality is terrible. He’s a risk-taker when performing surgeries, and he often puts the blame on others when things don’t go his way.
A man like him shouldn’t perform the surgery for Old Mr. Benedict,” Nicole explained while walking closer to Anna.
Anna frowned at Nicole’s words. “Is that so?” she asked after a short pause. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded. Pierre had visited White a long time ago, and he had wanted to be White’s apprentice, so he stayed around the hospital for a while. Although Nicole didn’t come in much contact with him, White had told her things about Pierre. White said that Pierre was a talented and skilled man —all that Pierre lacked was some empathy toward patients.
Back then, Nicole had suspected Pierre to be the culprit for tarnishing White’s reputation, but she didn’t manage to find any evidence. There was no conclusion to the whole thing in the end. When Queenie heard Nicole interrupting her words, she quickly stepped forward to speak.
“The public might see Pierre as an immoral or unethical doctor, but we can all agree that his skills are top-notch. He’s the best choice we have for Old Mr. Benedict’s surgery!” Queenie wasn’t wrong. She was familiar with Pierre’s skills, and she had considered him the moment heard that Benedict was ill.
Anna, on the other hand, didn’t seem too certain. Right then, Colton walked in from the door. It wasn’t clear how much of the conversation he had heard, but he seemed rather displeased the moment he entered the room. “If you guys want Pierre to do the job, you might as well spend a little more effort to find one of White’s apprentices.”
Queenie’s figure froze when she heard Colton’s voice. She turned to look at him before forcing a smile onto her face. “Colton.”
“Don’t call me that,” he growled. With his eyes narrowed, he glared at the woman before his eyes. Just the sight of her made him feel like puking. “I’m not causing you any trouble now, so what are you still doing here in the Gardner Residence?”
