chapter 22 : Quota for regularization

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Mr. Lee suppressed his excitement and said to everyone, "My father needs some rest now. Let's go out quickly!" Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement, leaving only a young nurse to take care of the patient, and the rest came to the conference room. Mr. Lee excitedly said to Benjamin, "Mr. Lincoln, thank you so much. Your medical skills are miraculous. Honestly, I've taken my father to numerous hospitals, both domestic and international, and even tried many traditional remedies, but nothing worked. Your intervention made my father regain his consciousness. It's incredible!" Benjamin smiled calmly, "Mr. Lee, there's no need for thanks. The patient was simply affected by some unclean energy. As long as these things are removed, it will be fine!" Mr. Lee was stunned momentarily and quickly asked, "Is it true that there are supernatural things in this world?" Benjamin smiled, "Actually, it's not just the supernatural things that can affect people's sanity, but also a lot of negative energy that can enter people's brains, and this kind of thing will happen." "I see!" Mr. Lee suddenly realized, then turned back to Anthony, "Dean Zion, I didn't expect that your hospital has such a skilled doctor!" Benjamin said coldly, "My treatment of Mr. Lee's father has nothing to do with Eastern Sea Hospital!" The statement made the other doctors in the room visibly uncomfortable. Anthony opened his mouth, wanting to refute Benjamin, but when he remembered what Jacob had said just now, the hospital would not be responsible if anything happened. He didn't know how to refute it. But at this time, Jacob stood up, "Benjamin, what do you mean? Don't forget, it was our hospital that made you successful. You really have forgotten your roots!" Benjamin said coldly, "When it was time to treat the patient, you were nowhere to be seen, but now you appear to take credit. If you're so capable, why didn't you cure Mr. Lee's father yourself?" "This... this..." Jacob stammered. "That's enough!" Sophia stood up, interrupted the two arguing, and said in a deep voice, "Our doctors' bounden duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. As long as Mr. Lee's father's illness can be cured, we should be happy, not here debate!" Mr. Lee nodded with satisfaction, "Dr. Scott is right!" Jacob's expression became even more uncomfortable. He could only wonder if everyone was genuinely motivated by a sense of duty, unlike him, who was accused of seeking fame and fortune. Mr. Lee glanced at his wristwatch, then turned to Anthony and said, "Dean Zion, it's getting late. I still have a lot of things to do over there, so I'll leave my father to you!" Anthony immediately patted his chest and promised, "Mr. Lee, don't worry, our hospital will definitely use the best medical conditions for your father so that he can recover as before!" Again, Mr. Lee glanced at Benjamin and smiled, "Dr. Lincoln, thank you. I'll leave for now!" "You're welcome, Mr. Lee!" Benjamin's expression was indifferent. After Mr. Lee left, Anthony looked around at everyone, "Okay, it's getting late. Everyone should get back to work. Benjamin, come to my office!" After saying these words, Anthony left first. After Benjamin left, Jacob's eyes gradually darkened with unhappiness. Unexpectedly, Benjamin had such incredible skills to cure Mr. Lee's father's illness. Anthony must have called Benjamin to win him over. If Benjamin had Dean Zion's support, it would be much harder for Jacob to target him in the future. "No, I must find a way to drive this kid out of the hospital." Jacob thought. … Anthony's office decoration was not luxurious but antique, and a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the entire office. One smell made people instantly calm. Benjamin entered Anthony's office. He didn't like to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point, "Dean Zion, what's the matter?" With a smile on Anthony's lips, he made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Benjamin, "Dr. Lincoln, I didn't expect you to have such medical skills and cure Mr. Lee's father's illness so easily. You really kept your talents hidden!" Benjamin shrugged nonchalantly, "Even if I have such skills, what does it matter? I'm still just an intern, aren't I?" Anthony immediately said, "Dr. Lincoln, in a few days, I will mention you on the regular staff list at our hospital. If everything goes well, you'll soon be a permanent doctor." Benjamin was stunned for a moment. Was Dean Zion trying to win him over? Anthony said with a smile, "So many hospitals, large and small, domestic and abroad, failed to cure Mr. Lee's father's disease, but he was cured in our hospital. If this deed spreads, our hospital will become famous in the future. I, as the Dean, will also be honored. I owe you a proper thanks!" Benjamin was indifferent, "Dean, there's no need for courtesy. Saving lives and helping the injured is our duty as doctors." "I also know about the matter between you and Vice Dean Foster. Don't worry. I will talk to him about it in a while," Anthony said slowly, "He is the Vice Dean and has many things to consider. Don't overthink!" "I know!" Benjamin nodded. … Sophia returned to the department, her brows furrowed, and she was very surprised. Where did Benjamin learn his medical skills? Reviving someone from the dead was beyond her understanding of medicine, and the mysterious use of Needle Manipulation with Qi Control surprised her even more. It seemed she had underestimated Benjamin in the past, and he indeed had some talents. After Mr. Lee's father's illness was cured, the entire hospital was immersed in an atmosphere of joy. Anthony conducted a comprehensive examination of Mr. Lee's father's illness. He was a little weak but had no other symptoms. He only needed a few days of treatment before being discharged. Benjamin successfully taught those doctors a lesson, and no one dared to look down on him anymore. When it was time to get off work, Sophia changed her work clothes and left the hospital in casual clothes. When she arrived at the hospital gate, a kid came over. "Hello, are you Dr. Sophia Scott?" the kid asked. Sophia looked at the child curiously, "Yes, I am, kid. What can I do?" The kid immediately took out a bouquet of roses hidden behind his back and said with a smile, "Someone asked me to give this to you!" After handing it to Sophia, the kid left happily. Sophia was in a daze. What was going on? Who was so bored that he gave her roses? She walked to the trash bin and was about to throw away the roses but glanced at the card. "Sophia, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much!" The signature was Quinlan. Sophia was stunned for a moment, and then her expression turned nasty. She took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and threw the rose directly into the trash bin. ----------
