Chapter 258 She is special. She is family.
Jason stopped in his steps and slowly turned to look back at Ryan and Delyth. His gaze no longer carried the gentleness, it held all this while. Instead, he seemed all aloof. "I have rejected your request very politely, Mr. Foster, but it seems like you neither value good people nor good thoughts. Fine, " he nodded, continuing, "Then I won't care to be polite anymore."
Ryan frowned, noting his choice of words. But before he could say anything, Jason's voice rang loud and clear in the air. "I won't treat her no matter what you offer. No money, no praise, no nothing will be able to make me change my resolve. Am I very clear now, Mr. Foster? I hope I am."
Saying that, he briefly glanced again at Delyth. Seeing her face pale gave him satisfaction. After all, he wasn't able to do anything to wipe away the smug she carried the last time. He might not be able to avenge Arwen fully, but he didn't mind since that was the job for Aiden. He was satisfied that at least he was able to give them the taste.
Ryan's felt insulted like none other, but still holding himself back he asked, "Why?"
That 'why' was something Jason hadn't expected. But he had the answer prepared for it. Curling his lips, he replied, "Because I hate treating patients who don't deserve to get treated at all."@@@@
People gasped around hearing that. Whispers grew around as everyone started to exchange glances, trying to understand how big of an offense the woman had done to deserve that statement.
When Delyth heard that, her face grew red in embarrassment. She felt gazes all around her but no longer dared to look at anyone. It was not just an insult, it was humiliation. One that she never expected to come her way. She wanted to hide herself, but sitting in the wheelchair, she felt helpless.
In the end, tearing up, she glanced up at Jason and said, "Dr. Clark, how can you say that? How did I wrong you? Or is it someone who made you misunderstand me?"
When Delyth saw this, she felt that finally, she could use some leverage. She turned to look back at Jason and said, "Dr. Clark, have you forgotten the oath? Or is it that you place Arwen over everything else?"
It was not hard to understand what stunt she was trying to pull there. But maybe she overestimated herself. Or underestimated Jason.
Jason understood it well. His expression that was hard earlier melted a little to give his features a slight lift of disdainful smirk. "Seems like I overestimated you. You don't have that good skill of manipulation. It's just that manipulation of some fools you have grown overconfident over time. But anyway, I won't register myself on that list."
His eyes briefly glanced at Ryan meaningfully before returning to her. "Yes, as a doctor, I have taken an oath to protect people, but that oath can't restrict me from choosing who to treat. Next time before you pull such a trick on someone, you better check the facts. As for Arwen," he paused before smirking a little. "of course, she is special. She is family. And I, Jason Clark, don't let an outsider bully my people. I hold a strong sense of responsibility towards my family and friends. I won't treat someone who once dared to harm my family."
With that said, he no longer waited. Turning on his heels, he walked away without any care. Dr. Cred was stunned for a moment. But he soon realized what happened and rushed after him.
Behind, the nurses were all charmed. They swooned over Jason's words as if they never heard something as impressive as that before.
"Dr. Clark was so handsome just now. I never knew men can be this charming when they take a rightful stance."
"Aww ... I feel like falling for him already."
