Chapter 68
Upon hearing that, Celeste became agitated again despite having just tried to calm down.
She said, “Legally, I’m my mother’s only family. I never consented to transfer her to another hospital. Have you verified the validity of said documents? If anything happens to my mother, can the hospital bear the responsibility?”
Right then, Celeste was so furious that she tumed pale. Anger seethed in her tone,
Realizing that the crowd around them was growing, Joel frowned. “Ms. Hart, we can naturally ensure that we’ve carried out the necessary procedures. Please don’t make a scene here and disturb the other patients. Otherwise, we’ll have to get the pollice to interfere.”
Celeste smirked. “Sure, let’s call the police. Let them handle this
Joel
frowned. He had only planned to scare Celeste by threatening to call the police, but if they really did, things would go out of hand.
His expression changed when he noticed she had pulled out her phone “Please don’t act unreasonably, Ms. Hart. I don’t have time to waste.”
Before Celeste could make the call, the guards had come to remove her from the hospital.
Joel watched as Celeste was evicted from the hospital, and a satisfied glint crossed his eyes.
He went to the restroom and dialed a number. “Hello, Mr. Hart. Celeste stirred a commotion at the hospital just now. I’ve had her removed. I don’t think she’ll Cause much of a problem.”
On the other side of the phone, Ethan smiled. He hummed in acknowledgment. “Infor me immediately if anything comes up.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Hart. Oh, right. About the money.”
“I’ll transfer the balance to you
tomonow.
After ending the call, a revolting smile appeared on Joel’s face,
After getting forced out of the hospital, Celeste furiously called Ethan. When the call got through, she shouted frantically, “Ethan Hart, where is my mother?” Ethan’s voice came through the receiver. “Calm down, Celeste. Your mother is fine.”
After a pause, he continued, “If you want to see her safely back at the hospital to continse het treatment, call Julian immediately. It’s best if you can make the collaboration happen by tomorrow.”
Ethan knew the more anxious Celeste was, the higher the possibility of him achieving his motives. Everything was under his control. Celeste glowered. Gripping her phone tightly, she hissed through gritted teeth, “Aren’t you worried I’ll tell Julian about your threats?”
If she told Julian, he’d have various ways of forcing Ethan to hand over Miranda.
Ethan’s tone turned sullen. “Celeste, if you dare tell Julian, I can’t tell what I’ll do to Miranda out of anger.”
Celeste’s ryes widened.
Ethan continued, “Worse comes to worse… we’ll both lose.”
He then hung up, and Celeste could only hear the dial tone. Her face was as pale as a sheet.
Ethan had already divorced Miranda ages ago. He didn’t have the right to transfer Miranda out, Celeste realized he must’ve bribed Joel She had been careless; she didn’t think Ethan would target Miranda.
