The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 599: Creating Chaos

When Karen returned to William’s ward, Maddy was still treating him, but she was almost done. The speed of Maddy’s movements significantly decreased, and she still had time to give some pointers to the doctors beside her.

“Dr. Stone, I’ve observed that the patient’s brain activity seems to be getting higher and higher since last night. He should be showing an obvious response to the outside world, but why hasn’t he regained consciousness yet? Theoretically, he should have almost recovered at this point,” an elderly doctor nearly 60 years old asked in puzzlement.

Maddy said with a light smile, “That’s normal. After all, the patient was in a serious car accident, and his bodily functions haven’t recovered to the same level as before. Even though he hasn’t regained consciousness, he likely just needs some minor stimulation, and he’ll come to sooner or later.”

There was some other meaning in her words, but the doctor in front of her naturally didn’t understand it.

Maddy’s usual acupuncture treatment took only about half an hour to complete. Seeing that she was about to finish her treatment, but there was still no one at the hospital entrance, Karen started panicking and subconsciously looked at the door.

Fortunately, Maddy didn’t know what was going on today. After the acupuncture treatment, she continued communicating and laughing with the doctors, making Karen feel a little less anxious.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion came from outside the usually quiet ward. There seemed to be countless people running outside, and even the floor began to tremble slightly.

The director frowned in displeasure. “This is a hospital, not a market. Who’s running outside and disturbing the patients’ recuperation?”

A young doctor immediately said, “Director, I’ll go outside and see what’s going on.”

He walked toward the door of the ward.

But before he could get close to the door, the plain door was violently pushed open from outside with a loud bang. Immediately afterward, a large group of people rushed in.

The young doctor was shocked and immediately asked, “What are you doing?”

The people who rushed in all seemed agitated and full of zeal, making the young doctor misunderstand that there was an emergency in the hospital.

“Is Dr. Maddy Stone here?”

“We’re here to see Dr. Maddy Stone. We heard she’s here!”

“Dr. Stone, please help! My son has had cerebral palsy for many years, and no one has been able to cure him. I heard that you are highly skilled in medicine. You must save my son!”

“My father suffers from paraplegia and hasn’t been able to get out of bed for years. Dr. Stone, please save him!”

“And my wife, she became a vegetable because of a traffic accident. I heard that you’re treating a patient suffering from the same condition now, so please help my wife too! She’s only in her thirties, and our kids are only a few years old. They have no mother to take care of them now!”

…

All at once, around ten people began clamoring loudly one after another before surging toward Maddy, who was standing by the hospital bed. Their hands were all reaching out to grab her.

“Get out of the way!” The director yelled but to no avail because the people rushing forward seemed to have lost their minds, and they were only staring at Maddy. Even the nearly 70-year-old hospital director was pushed to the side unceremoniously.

He almost fell. But fortunately, a pair of hands pulled him in time, avoiding the possibility of a bad fall, which would have been detrimental to him at his age.

After holding the old director, who almost fell because of the push, Lucas stood beside William’s bed and blocked all the hands reaching over.

Although William’s ward was a senior VIP ward, the area was only about twenty square feet after all. Moreover, there were a few beds and escort beds and other furniture and furnishings, so there was barely any empty space.

With the sudden influx of twenty-odd people, almost all the empty space was full, and more were desperately squeezing into the ward, which was extraordinarily shocking.

Lucas stopped these uninvited guests in front of him expressionlessly while glancing at Karen as a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that Karen would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Because all these people suddenly barging in completely caught Cheyenne off guard, she could only protect Amelia with one hand out of motherly instincts and bring her to the corner of the ward, where she shielded her with her body.

Karen kept an eye on Amelia’s movements at all times. She had planned to pull Amelia away as soon as the crowd rushed in. But unfortunately, Cheyenne was a step faster than her, so she had no choice but to squeeze through the crowd and stand beside the two of them.

She said anxiously, “Cheyenne, so many people have suddenly barged in. I’m afraid something terrible might happen! Although Lucas is now in front of your father’s bed, there’ll be serious trouble if he can’t stop them and a fight breaks out!”

Cheyenne naturally also realized that the people who had barged in were harboring ill intentions because there was something suspicious about the way they were asking Maddy to save their family members. They were practically coercing her and even threatening her, as if they wished they could drag her out immediately.

Moreover, the news that Maddy was here to treat William wasn’t spread around and kept known only to the hospital director and a few trusted doctors. Yet these people were flocking over like madmen. Where exactly did they get the news?

But it wasn’t the time to consider these things now because the most important thing now was to protect their safety.

With Lucas’s protection, there shouldn’t be any major problems on William and Maddy’s side for the time being, so Cheyenne’s main concern was Amelia, who was still a tender young child. There would be serious consequences even if she was only bumped into lightly.

“Cheyenne, I’ll take Amelia out right now and find a safe place to hide, lest these people hurt her. Then I’ll get hospital security to help you!” Karen immediately said.

Seeing the chaos in the ward, Cheyenne also felt that Karen’s idea was the optimal solution for now.

After all, Amelia’s safety was the most important thing at the moment.

“Okay, Mom, take Amelia out right now and find an empty ward to stay in for the time being. Lucas will handle the situation on his side alone, so I have to go help protect Dad. I’ll leave Amelia to you!” Cheyenne took Amelia’s hand, handed her over to Karen, and gently instructed, “It’s too chaotic here, Amelia. Go outside with Grandma now, and we’ll come see you later, okay?”

Amelia nodded obediently and took Karen’s hand. “Okay, I’ll wait for you and Daddy outside with Grandma!”

Overjoyed, Karen took Amelia’s hand and walked toward the door without even saying a word.

It was rather strange that the people crowding in the ward actually made way for Karen when they saw her walking over while holding Amelia’s hand.

Soon, Karen took Amelia out of the chaotic ward.
