Chapter 111 Rules Of The Miraculous Doctor
Isabella was disgusted by the way Patriarch Crawford addressed her.
Isabella widened her eyes slightly and looked at Patriarch Crawford with a strange expression. This old man was shameless! Previously, he picked on her. And now he dared to ask her to check on him. Did he think that the Miraculous Doctor was like ordinary doctors who could be found easily on the streets?
Apart from the people she cared about, Isabella really didn't have much patience for others. She ignored Patriarch Crawford. Anyway, Harold had already taken over the position of president. She had nothing else to do here.
So, she said to Draxton, "Is there anything else you wanna do here? If there's nothing else, let's go home. It's fine if you still have something to deal with here. Betty and I will go home first."
She did not mention Patriarch and Madame Lockwood. Their identities were too intimidating. If the people noticed them, it would be troublesome.
That was why Patriarch and Madame Lockwood were wearing big masks. Isabella wondered how they and Betty got in.
Did they tell their guards to kidnap all the security guards of the Traditional Medicine Association?
Draxton handed Betty to Isabella with amusement gleaming in his eyes and said, "Admiral Sanders and I still have something to deal with. You can take Betty and head home first."
Betty crawled into her mother's arms and wrapped her soft arms around Isabella's neck. Her little face rubbed against Isabella's neck. She looked very cute. She had hidden the pink butterfly, and it was nowhere to be seen.
Isabella's gaze softened. She carried Betty and left the stage. She headed to the exit.
When the crowd in the hall saw that Isabella was about to leave, they instinctively moved to the sides to make way for her.
Isabella walked past the crowd with Betty in her arms.
Patriarch Crawford watched as Isabella passed by him without even looking at him. His expression suddenly darkened.
He was so angry that the muscles on his face trembled. He widened his eyes and looked at Draxton. "Draxton, your wife is insensible. Are you insensible too? Is this how you treat your elders?" Draxton looked at Patriarch Crawford, and the smile on his face faded. "Patriarch Crawford, you might have confused something. The Lockwood family and the Crawford family are not related. I'm not obligated to treat you the way I treat the elders in my family."
Patriarch Crawford's hand on the armrest of the wheelchair suddenly tightened. Even the expressions of the Crawford family members behind Patriarch Crawford had changed.
They realized that Draxton was not happy with the Crawford family. They looked at Patriarch Crawford helplessly. He must have offended Draxton by picking on Isabella previously.
Patriarch Crawford's grandson, a middle-aged man in his forties, said, "Mr. Lockwood, my grandfather is old and has been tormented by illnesses for many years. He did say something unpleasant previously, but please don't hold it against him. He's just an old man."
Draxton said, "We won't hold it against him."
Callum Crawford was not optimistic at all, but he still said, "Mr. Lockwood, please help the Crawford family and ask the Miraculous Doctor to save my grandfather. The Crawford family will never forget your kindness!"
Callum bowed deeply.
Draxton said indifferently, "You might be mistaken. Although Bella is my wife, I have no right to force her to treat anyone."
Callum was stunned. When he regained his composure, he hurriedly went after Isabella. He said anxiously. "Miss Thompson... Miss Thompson, please wait!"
He jogged to catch up to isabella and blocked her way. With a sincere expression, he said, "Miss Thompson, please don't blame my grandfather. Please save him. You're a doctor. A doctor is supposed to be benevolent. Miss Thompson, please help us. The Crawford family will never forget your kindness!"
Patriarch Crawford tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair. He looked angry. His grandson had begged Isabella humbly. Once she cured him, he would teach that insensible girl a lesson!
He thought that with his status, Isabella should be happy to treat him. Befriending the Crawford family was a good thing for her, right?
Isabella looked at the pleading man in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly. "A doctor's supposed to be benevolent?"
Callum nodded with anticipation.
Humph!
Isabella sneered and looked at him mockingly. "I'm sorry. In my opinion, a doctor does not necessarily have to be benevolent. "I will not treat three types of people."
Callum looked at Isabella in a daze and asked instinctively, "Which... Which types of people you won't save?"
Isabella said, "I won't treat those who are evil, those whom I dislike, and those I don't want to treat."
Callum opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
Isabella continued, "Coincidentally, your grandfather is both the second and the third type, but I don't know if he's the first type."
After that, she looked at Callum coldly and walked forward, carrying Betty.
Callum opened his mouth. He was filled with despair. It seemed that the Miraculous Doctor was vengeful.
He silently clenched his fists and thought that once Carlos's matter was over, he would prepare a valuable gift and visit the Lockwood family. He would beg Isabella to save his grandfather. There should be a way to change Isabella's mind.
However, he didn't expect someone to screw up his plan.
Patriarch Crawford thought Isabella would agree to treat him after his grandson begged her. He didn't expect Isabella to reject his request. It was simply ridiculous to him!
He turned his wheelchair around and stared resentfully at Isabella's back and Betty in Isabella's arms. He said in a husky voice, "Why does the girl in Miss Thompson's arms have the alpha of artificially cultured poisonous bugs?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Isabella stopped.
Betty also looked up. She looked at Patriarch Crawford with her clear eyes. She blinked innocently.
The old man was too annoying, but Betty was an obedient child and would not interrupt when the adults were talking. Hence, she pursed her lips and quietly nestled in her mother's arms.
Isabella's gaze became piercing. She looked at Patriarch Crawford with an ice-cold gaze. She said ruthlessly, "This has nothing to do with you. I advise you to mind your own business."
However, Patriarch Crawford would not let her off easily. He thought he knew Isabella's weakness and said, "You must have given it to her. Carlos can use artificially cultured poisonous bugs on people, but Isabella, you are no better than him. You know how to utilize those bugs as well."
Isabella was furious.
"Patriarch Crawford, I think since you've already lived a long life, you should understand the principle of not meddling in other people's business, right?
"I didn't expect you to ask such a ridiculous question. Carlos used artificially cultured poisonous bugs to harm people, but I didn't hurt anyone. What are you gonna do?"
Patriarch Crawford's eyes lit up. "So, you admit that you know bug poison crafting?"
Isabella didn't say anything. That meant her answer was yes.
Patriarch Crawford sneered and said, "Artificially cultured poisonous bugs are evil creatures. They are used to control people's minds I wonder if those you have saved will still dare to let you treat them if they know that you know bug poison crafting. Will they be afraid after being saved by you?"
Isabella sneered and said, "Then you don't need to worry. I know from your face that you don't have long to live. If you have the time to be nosy, you might as well take care of yourself."
Patriarch Crawford's expression changed.
"How dare you curse mel Patriarch Crawford gritted his teeth.
Isabella looked indifferent. "I'm just telling the truth."
Patriarch Crawford's looked mad, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
