Chapter 190: Not Taking Insults
Rosy brought Joey in and when she saw the both of them sleeping on the small bed, she silently went outside. She tried to stop the doctor who came for the rounds but the doctor couldn’t be stopped.
Seeing the patient’s bed being occupied by another person, the doctor was not pleased.
"You cannot make this about yourself, Mrs. Crawford," the doctor chided her.
Marcella, although groggy because she was rudely woken up, understood the doctor. Tony needs to be healed properly. Occupying his bed will not help in that.
She apologized and stood up. She can accept it when she is wrong.
But Tony did not.
He pulled out the IV in his hands and held her hand. "No one is allowed to be rude to her," he said huffing in anger. He winced as he clenched his jaws together. "I will not get treated in this hospital!" He shouted.
Marcella was stunned. "But the doctor is right, Tony," she tried to stop him.
She saw the blood drops on his hand and knots formed in her stomach.
"No, no, Birdie. No, he was not right to say to your face that you are making it about yourself. Why? Can’t you get tired?" he pulled her out of the room. "He’s just a doctor, Birdie. There are thousands of them with proper bedside manners and there are hundreds of hospitals all over the country. I will not get treated in this shitty hospital," he said and walked right out.
Marcella noticed Rosy holding Joey. She tried to talk to her but Tony was pulling her with force. Rosy followed hem with a smile. Henry too didn’t make any effort to pacify Tony and was preparing to leave.
Just as they reached the exit, the Dean of the hospital caught up with them. That poor old fellow was heavily panting as he ran through the corridors to get to them.
