Chapter 101: Venice’s scheme
Neri Medical Hospital
Neri Medical Hospital was infamous for two things: its sky-high treatment fees and its reputation for having the best facilities and doctors in the city.
Since the incident had taken place in one of the wealthiest districts, many of the victims were either affluent residents or well-connected individuals.
The hospital lobby was crowded with patients, families, and staff rushing about, the atmosphere buzzing with urgency and low murmurs.
Originally, the Zhi siblings and Venice were to be transferred from their previous hospital to Neri after a few days. But unexpectedly, the Zhi couple were informed they had been given priority, and the three were moved that very day.
The couple were baffled. With only superficial injuries, they knew how the system worked, priority in a prestigious hospital like this usually meant either a hefty bribe or strong connections. They had offered neither. Still, they followed the procedure without protest.
Yeri had her suspicions. In a nationwide-covered incident like this, there was no way Shin Keir wouldn’t hear about it and even more impossible for him not to interfere. If she had to guess, he had quietly pulled strings behind the scenes.
Jj and Yeri were placed in one private room, while Venice was in a shared ward down the hall.
That day was exhausting with another endless medical checks, scans, and tests. Venice, however, made the process far more difficult than necessary.
She burst into hysterics every time a nurse tried to approach her, forcing the staff to coax, persuade, and nearly beg before they could take her vitals.
Yeri wasn’t sure whether Venice truly had PTSD or was simply pretending. Either way, she just wanted to get through her own tests and rest.
That morning, Jj woke up complaining of a pounding headache and sore muscles as if he’d been working out nonstop for days. But apart from that, his condition was much like Yeri’s.
