Daniel Marshall added: “If such an accident happened to a different patient, the hospital would be held accountable. The on-duty staff would naturally be investigated for negligence. The hospital’s related surveillance has already been sealed.”
Bella Thompson, who was suspicious about her son’s accident to begin with, listened to Daniel Marshall’s words. Her pupils shrank sharply, and her heart involuntarily tightened.
Suddenly, Matthew Marshall looked at Daniel and said faintly, “Stop investigating. It’s not anyone else’s fault. I am to blame.” Bella Thompson became anxious, looking at her son.
Matthew looked at his mother, indicating her to stay silent.
Matthew then explained, “I deliberately distracted the duty nurse because I wanted to smoke. I knew I couldn’t go far, let alone leave the department, so I hid and smoked at the stairs fearing they might find me. As a result, on the way back, I was afraid of being discovered, stumbled, and fell down the stairs.”
Bella Thompson lowered her voice and said, “How could you smoke at a time like this? Can’t you go without it for a day?”
Matthew glanced at his mother, “Mom, I was upset, so I wanted to smoke. The nurses and doctors wouldn’t let me, so I had to hide to smoke.”
Seemingly logical with no flaws, the clever boy seemed to have figured it all out. Daniel, watching Matthew with his dark eyes, noticed Matthew didn’t shy away from his probing gaze.
Daniel spoke again in a cold and indifferent tone, “I will investigate every detail. If it is as you say, the on-duty medical staff is still at fault. They should be punished. Matthew, if you truly don’t want to cause trouble for others, you shouldn’t have broken the hospital’s rules in the first place.”
“Yes, I realize my mistake. I will never do it again.”
The old man hadn’t spoken up, he just stared at Matthew, listening to everyone else.
Suddenly, the old man spoke, “Daniel, Olivia Jenkins, you two leave first. Go on with your duties.”
Daniel, holding Olivia Jenkins left Matthew’s ward first.
Before his son could speak, it was clear the old man had made his decision after much thought. His voice was so cold it didn’t allow for any resistance.
“Matthew needs to recover properly without leaving any lingering issues. After Matthew is discharged, Bella, you accompany him back to the countryside for some rest. Take good care of him. The air in the countryside is fresh and the environment is good. There will be no disturbances, away from all the fuss. It’s a great place to heal the mind and body. I believe Matthew will recover quickly. ”
Michael Marshall frowned unhappily, speaking with a stern tone, “Dad, how can we send Matthew to the countryside? City hospitals have the best medical facilities, which will be convenient for his follow-up visits.”
The old man’s eyes dimmed, but his face revealed no emotion, “Isn’t there a helipad at the big villa in the countryside? RenewalCare Hospital’s rooftop also has a helipad. Does it take that long flying from the countryside to RenewalCare Hospital? Is it too depriving for Matthew to travel by helicopter for his checkups? Or Matthew is too disdainful to live in the large villa in the countryside? Every year I live in the countryside for some time, why am I able
Immediatey, Matthew made his position clear, “I will listen to grandpa’s arrangements, after being discharged, I will recuperate in the countryside.
Dad, you don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be fine with mom taking care of me.
It’s not too far, on your days off, you can come see me. Having hurt my leg, I won’t be able to walk for a while. Looking at the scenery and breathing fresh air in the countryside, I believe my mood will improve. I really like the local customs there.”
Hearing his son say this, Bella Thompson chimed in, “We’ve settled then, I will accompany Matthew to the countryside for his convalescence. This change might just help me cool off and reflect..”
