Chapter 1284: Misfortune Befalls the Family
Henry Chapman was just about to drive away when he suddenly saw a few people walking out from inside. He didn’t recognize the others, but he definitely knew the man in the middle.
"Abbott." After Abbott Wayland separated from the crowd, Henry Chapman got out of the car and called out.
Abbott Wayland looked up, his appearance was not outstanding, but his smile added a touch of charm, and his gentle demeanor naturally made people feel a liking toward him.
Henry Chapman was as cold as the scalpel he routinely used, whereas Abbott Wayland, also from a family of medical professionals, was much warmer. This might be related to the Wayland Family being a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, emphasizing balance and harmony.
"Henry." Both Abbott Wayland and Henry Chapman were doctors—one dealing with Chinese medicine, the other with Western medicine—and since both were in the Imperial City, they naturally had many interactions and were quite familiar with each other.
"Why are you here?" Henry Chapman asked, "This hospital can’t open, so why are you here?"
"Can’t open?" Abbott Wayland turned his head in surprise and looked at Sophie Wilson’s hospital, "Really?"
"Why not?" Henry Chapman said amusedly, "Your family doesn’t run a hospital, so you wouldn’t know. The procedures for opening a hospital are not so easy to manage."
"Do you think just anyone can open a hospital?" Henry Chapman’s disdain for Sophie Wilson’s hospital came from the bottom of his heart, "Aren’t they trying to open a general hospital? Involving so many departments, do you think Sophie Wilson has the ability to find so many specialists?"
"I thought they were making quite the display." Abbott Wayland said, puzzled. When he talked to the people in charge inside, the conditions they promised were quite favorable.
"It’s just show." Henry Chapman said with a chuckle, "There are only so many skilled doctors, and each hospital treats them like treasures. Do you think a newly opened hospital can recruit any decent doctor?"
"On what basis can they attract those great doctors? Is it the salary or the hospital benefits?" Henry Chapman asked, "I think the original hospitals wouldn’t be short of doctors."
As long as one’s medical skills reach a certain level, hospitals will definitely not neglect such talents.
"No matter how rich they are, it’s useless." Henry Chapman analyzed calmly, "Even if they manage to lure a few, do you really think one or two doctors can support a whole hospital?"
"They say the doctors in their hospital will be top-notch." Abbott Wayland’s words made Henry Chapman laugh, "You actually believed their nonsense? Abbott, you might not know, but Sophie Wilson is Charles Seymour’s fiancée, and Charles is my cousin. Do you think I wouldn’t know them well?"
Abbott Wayland was somewhat familiar with the Chapman Family affairs, given that they were Charles Seymour’s maternal relatives.
Abbott Wayland was evidently convinced by Henry Chapman, laughingly saying, "Henry, you’re more considerate; I was too hasty."
"Sophie Wilson made such a grand show, it’s indeed quite deceiving. It’s normal that you got fooled. Originally, there isn’t much to this matter, but..." Henry Chapman looked at the still under-construction hospital, frowning, "Sophie Wilson’s actions have stirred everyone up, leading to numerous potential troubles."
"Truly unfortunate for the family." Henry Chapman shook his head and sighed, "I still need to speak with my grandfather to stop this farce."
