Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 7

Josefina watched Dr. Kyler with utter disbelief. This woman was seriously twisting the truth.

Dr. Kyler piped up again, "Oliver, you gotta deal with her, pronto! She's posing as a doctor with some fishy agenda!"

Oliver gave Dr. Kyler a sharp look. "You telling me how to handle my business?"

His voice was low and frosty, piercing right through, sending a shiver down Dr. Kyler's spine.

Oliver stepped forward, standing in front of Josefina, his masculine scent hitting her full force. His lips parted slightly, each word dropping with weight, "Let's hear it."

Josefina spilled the beans, "I saved your grandpa. If we'd gone her way, he'd be a goner for sure."

Dr. Kyler snapped, "Oliver, she's lying through her teeth. She just wants to get close to you by buttering up your grandpa!"

Josefina shot back, "Are you nuts? I don't even know who he is. Why on earth would I wanna get close to him?" So what if this guy was a looker? Did that mean Josefina should make a beeline for him?

Josefina's expression was as cool and aloof as a snow rose on the mountain peak, mysterious and proud.

She looked both stunning and fierce as if she was saying, "Back off, buddy!"

Under Oliver's furrowed brows, his eyes twinkled with a faint smile. As he turned back to Dr. Kyler, his gaze remained icy and menacing. "Did I ask you to speak?"

The pressure from all around zeroed in on Dr. Kyler, making her tremble, unable to speak.

This...

"Mr. Oliver, I..." Dr. Kyler was at a loss for words, not expecting Oliver to take Josefina's side!

'So what if she's pretty? Does that make her special or something?' Dr. Kyler thought.

Just then, Bennett arrived after finishing the admission procedures.

"Mr. Oliver, you're finally here. We owe this lady big time for saving Mr. Brandon. Otherwise, I..." Bennett choked up, unable to continue.

Bennett's gaze towards Dr. Kyler said it all. She felt a chill as if her throat had been cut, leaving her speechless. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Bennett was livid as he said to Oliver, "Mr. Oliver, Dr. Kyler didn't agree with this lady's treatment plan. If we'd gone her route, you wouldn't have your grandpa around anymore!"

How could they not deal with Dr. Kyler, this quack, and keep her around to wreak havoc?

Dr. Kyler was panicking, frantically pleading, "Oliver, for the sake of how I've looked after Mr. Robert, please let me off the hook..."

Bennett interjected, "Mr. Oliver, Mr. Robert has always been in fine health. It's only since Dr. Kyler came to take care of him that he ended up in the hospital!"

It’s all Dr. Kyler’s fault!

Inside, Dr. Kyler was seething.

Just then, the hospital director Ellory rushed over, accompanied by the retired doctor Sam.

Oliver's gaze turned icy as he spoke to Ellory, "This is the reliable doctor you vouched for? She nearly killed my grandpa!"

Ellory was taken aback, his eyes filled with anger and reproach as he looked at Dr. Kyler. "Dr. Kyler, is this how you 'take care' of Brandon?"

Quaking in her boots, Dr. Kyler defended herself, "I've been tending to Brandon with utmost care. Today, he heard his old friend had a great-grandson and was so distressed that he insisted on walking alone. When we found him, he was unconscious. I suspect someone's got it in for Brandon!"

Josefina retorted, "You suspecting me? Then let's call the cops. There's a camera right there. The truth will be plain to see."

Dr. Kyler was stunned. Darn it, why would there be a camera there?

Oliver's voice, laced with disdain, "You got mediocre skills and are still trying to shirk responsibility?"
