Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 739

The vice-dean was scared by Nathan's glare. He was sure that he didn't offend Nathan, so why was he glaring at him? The vice-dean felt ill at ease.

"Since Adrian has gotten injured without excessive blood loss before, then it could only mean that something is wrong with his body now; it's by no means an accident. Maybe some bacteria entered his body but stayed dormant due to the immune system. But when he got injured this time, more bacteria entered in his body, and coupled with the previous ones, they easily overloaded his immune system," Mandy speculated, reading the blood test report.

"Emm..." The Dean hesitated, adding nothing to her speculation.

Honestly, the Dean wanted to say that it was his first time hearing something like this.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the office. "No, it can't be that. You are overthinking."

Audrey opened the door and came in. She was dressed in a clean white coat paired with five-centimeter rivet heels, and she looked neat. She held a large pile of documents in her hands and walked into the office, acting aloof.

In the entire cardiology department, Audrey was the last one to find out about Adrian's case. And if it weren't for Angelina and Cassie talking all over about it, she still wouldn't have known it. Like this, she was kept in the dark till now.

Audrey raised her head and looked at Nathan with dim eyes. She said in a delicate and touching voice, "Nathan, Adrian is hospitalized. Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

"Audrey, are you kidding? Who are you? Why should we tell you?" Mandy frowned and stood up. She stared at Audrey in anger. She thought, 'Who the hell does she think she is? Is she even remotely related to Adrian?'

What annoyed Mandy, even more, was that Audrey had just objected to her speculation. Although her speculation lacked any solid proof, that didn't make it wrong. All it needed was a piece of strong evidence to back it up.

Audrey was embarrassed by Mandy's barrage of questions. She didn't expect that Mandy would embarrass her in public, in the presence of the hospital's dean at that.

However, Audrey was not stupid. She was slick and tactful. She squinted and smiled while keeping calm. "Mrs. Jin, do you have any prejudice against me? Anyway, I've saved Adrian before. I care about this child very much. After all, we are closely connected."

The doctors were silent. Everyone held their breath and watched the show. They were all guessing how Mandy would react to Audrey's words.

Audrey left Mandy stuck between a rock and a hard place. With a single statement, she characterized Mandy as someone narrow-minded and petty. Mandy thought, 'Humph! You always pretend to be innocent. What a good trick!'

But this time, Mandy calmed down. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Audrey, thanks for your concern, but we are now discussing Adrian's condition. If you are concerned about him, you can go and see him. You shouldn't be here."

Audrey's face went blank. Obviously, she was pissed off by Mandy. She curled her lips and said, "I actually came here to discuss Adrian's condition. I've seen all the reports, and I suspect that he suffers from leukemia."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mandy immediately became furious.

The crowd didn't expect that the meek and generous Mandy could turn into fierce and aggressive Mandy within seconds. Especially with a commanding tone that was just like Nathan's. They looked at her with admiration in their eyes. They finally understood Nathan's choice; after all, Mandy was just as domineering as he was.

"These are the test reports. You can read them if you don't believe me. You are also a doctor, so you should understand." Audrey still had a good attitude and put a thick pile of reports on the desk.

Embarrassed smiles filled the room. The test reports were on the table, but Mandy didn't touch them.

"Audrey, don't even bother. Do you think you're the best doctor in the entire world?" Mandy was furious, and she didn't want to endure it anymore. How she wished to just take Audrey's calm facade off!

"You said he was injected with bacteria. But don't you find something about this strange? If it was a bacteria, then it should have manifested within a week given its speed of growth." Audrey gave a faint smile, but she couldn't hide the malice in her eyes.

In the morning, Audrey heard the conversation between Cassie and Angelina in the bathroom. According to the conversation, Mandy believed that some bacteria was injected into Adrian's bloodstream more than a month ago. And that was causing Adrian's constant bleeding problem. At that time, Audrey laughed at Mandy in her heart. She thought, 'And she considers herself a doctor. More like an insult to this profession. Such a ridiculous theory!'

"You don't know anything. Don't be too confident. How are you so sure that I'm wrong? There always have been bacteria which don't abide by the set rules. How ridiculous of you to judge others when you are the ignorant one!" Mandy shouted after taking a deep breath.

This was the fabled face-slapping moment. Mandy curled her lips and stopped herself from actually slapping her.

The crowd looked at Mandy with admiration written all over their faces. No one argued back—they agreed with her completely.

"Honey, don't be so mad. Audrey is just guessing. Audrey, please go out. Now!" Nathan gave Audrey a stern look and gestured her to go out first.

The office was like a battlefield now. The atmosphere was tense and stiff. Mandy pulled a long face and looked displeased. Was she unaware that Adrian might have leukemia? No. She was well aware in her heart. After all, the tests and blood reports couldn't state it more clearly. She even believed that Audrey might have guessed correctly. The probability of a bone marrow match was close to zero. So, leukemia was equivalent to death in this case.

Therefore, Mandy was more willing to believe that Adrian was injected with bacteria than believing he got leukemia.

Audrey's face darkened. She didn't expect that she would lose so soon. She stormed out of the office with an aggrieved face, but she had no one to complain to.

Before she realized it, Audrey arrived at Adrian's ward. The entire floor was heavily guarded, so it was hard for even the doctors to go in. They only allowed identified doctors to enter the room.

Audrey tried to walk straight up, but she was blocked by what seemed like a black wall. Looking up, she realized that a group of guards, dressed in black, with hands behind their backs, and expressionless faces had blocked her.
