Renewal Of Love

Chapter 425 Asking For Sky-high Compensation

After bidding goodbye to Bob's parents, Anne went straight to the hospital.

All of Sam's injuries were external, and he had made a quick recovery—apart from the wound on his

head.

"The forensic experts have released the results. It said that those people were killed by fake medicine,"

Emily said with a resigned look as she glanced at Anne.

"Fake medicine can cause death?" Anne was befuddled.

Even though there were many fake medicine dealers, they never intended them to be lethal. At best,

these fake medicines would have had no effect at all. They shouldn't be able to cause death.

"A precious ingredient in that medicine has been replaced by a cheap one, which can bring adverse

effect when mixed with the other ingredients in the formula," Sam said indifferently.

Anne switched his gaze to Sam. He had been trying his best to run the hospital and make sure that all

the medicines were safe. He would even check the medicines himself to make sure before he Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

purchased them. But despite all these precautions, this situation still happened.

Once the word got out that fake medicines were being used on patients, Sam's hospital would be shut

down. Since three people died because of this, there was no more hope for Sam to recover from this

scandal even if he wanted to start from scratch.

Sam's career had been tainted!

"Sam, the fake medicine had entered the hospital. Someone must have messed up and missed it. This

isn't your fault, okay? Let's find that person first, and then we'll think of the rest later." Even though Sam

was the director of the hospital, he had nothing to do with this particular incident. They thought if Sam

explained everything clearly, everyone would understand him and the issue would be resolved.

"But I ordered all these medicines myself!" Sam shouted, his voice inflected with helplessness and self-

mockery.

Anne frowned.

"Since you ordered them yourself, then you should be confident that there would be no problem. What

you should be thinking about right now is who might be behind all of this," Kevin said slowly as he

walked in with flowers in his arms.

Emily perked up in surprise. "Are you saying someone is trying to frame Sam?"

Kevin nodded. "That's the only explanation. If not, how could something happen to Sam?"

Emily glared at Sam's blank expression. She felt even more conflicted. "Sam saves people who are

sick. He hasn't offended anyone! Why would anyone want to frame him?"

Anne and Kevin looked at each other. They didn't say anything between them, but they knew what

might have caused all this.

Sam was a great doctor respected by many people. He was kind to his patients. Just like Emily said,

Sam didn't offend anyone.

If Sam really offended someone, it could only because that he was Anne and Kevin's best friend and

he had tried his best to help them. This was the real reason why he was targeted!

So, in the end, Anne and Kevin had gotten Sam into trouble.

"Sam, I'll investigate this matter and give you an explanation," Kevin said coldly.

Sam looked up at Kevin and smiled. "Don't worry. Let's take our time."

Kevin remained silent for a while and gave a slight nod. All of a sudden, the corridor of the hospital

became a mess. Annoyed, Kevin walked out.

"Sam, our relatives have died. Why are you still alive? You must take their lives back!"

"You're a quack doctor! Real doctors save people from illness. But you kill them! Not only that. You also

profit from them! Give us back our money!"

"Life for a life!"

The corridor was filled with all sorts of people; both men and women, and young and old. All of them

wore a ferocious face, blocking the hallway and screaming for blood.

The hospital, usually a quiet place, was now engulfed by the sound of raging protests.

The nurses wanted to stop them, but there were too many people for them to handle. As the ruckus

grew louder, they were forced to call in the police.

As Anne looked amongst the crowd, she saw several familiar faces. They were the men who hurt Sam!

They were back!

"Everyone! The truth isn't clear yet. All that you're doing is disrespecting your relatives by making such

a big fuss." Kevin scowled at the sight of the unruly crowd.

"What do you mean by 'disrespect'? There's no more respect to give because our relatives are dead! If

you want to talk about respect, Sam should die to pay for what he has done!" the woman standing in

front of him immediately retorted loudly.

With a cold pair of eyes, Kevin looked straight at them and asked, "What do you want so that you can

stop making trouble?"

"Sam killed our relatives. What we want is either for Sam to die or for you to give us ten million for each

person he killed!" It was clear that the woman he was speaking to was their leader.

Anne felt shocked by their demands. She knew ten million per person was too much.

Although Sam owned the hospital, the amount was still too ludicrous to consider.

"Don't you think that's too much?" Kevin scolded.

"Of course you say that because it's not your family who died!" The woman was unforgiving with her

words.

Kevin felt enraged, but because it was a woman that he was dealing with, he could do nothing to her.

"Who are you anyway? Why are you defending Sam? Or are you willing to give me thirty million?" The

woman looked at Kevin from head to toe. He looked a little familiar, but she couldn't recall his name.

But judging from his expensive clothes, he must have been a rich man.

"The matter has been escalated. Rest assured, we are taking care of things. As for your monetary

demands, we will not be paying. Now, please leave the hospital. This is not the place for you to make

trouble." Kevin didn't want to talk to her anymore and reached out his hand.

"What's wrong? They sold fake medicines and killed our relatives. We deserve an explanation!" The

woman was relentless.

Kevin was annoyed by her insistence and was about to say something when he was interrupted. "This

man is blocking the door and refuses to give us an explanation!" the woman shouted. "Why are you still

standing behind me? Pull him away!"

Upon the woman's command, the crowd rushed towards Kevin.

Kevin buckled. He couldn't let anyone hurt Sam today!

Suddenly, he felt a soft hand grasp his arm. Kevin turned around and saw Anne.

She looked at Kevin intently, signaling him to get out of the way. Kevin's eyes widened as he observed

something.

Although Anne had given birth to three children, her figure still maintained its exquisite shape. Her

breasts were well proportioned and her body was still shaped like an hourglass. But now...

He noticed that Anne's belly was much bigger than he remembered.

The big man suddenly stopped. 'Is she pregnant?' he thought to himself.

Standing by the door, Anne gazed at the crowd and addressed them. "Sam is my brother," she said

slowly. "I won't allow you to make it any more difficult for him. If you all want to break in here, you'll

have to trample my body and kill me in the process. If this happens, my brother won't pay you. In fact,

you will all go to jail!

My brother is the director of the hospital. While he is accountable for the fake medicine getting in the

hospital, he was never aware that they were fake medicine!

Yes, ignorance doesn't mean he's innocent. But that doesn't mean he should die for it! On the contrary,

if you hurt me, a pregnant woman, how much would that cost you?"

Anne looked pale as her strength seemed to wane. The people who prepared to charge were forced to

a halt.

They couldn't possibly blame Sam for everything. After all, Sam wasn't aware of the situation. Right

now, the hospital needed to find out who were the peddlers that made the fake medicine.

These people came here to make trouble. They were unwilling to buy the explanation that Sam wasn't

involved. Moreover, they wanted to be compensated for their loss and let their rage be known.

However, the pregnant woman blocking the door halted their advance. What she said was true: if one

of them accidentally hurt a pregnant woman, they would be liable. If they were brought to court, no jury

would stand by them and they would be forced to pay out a lot of money to compensate for her

suffering.

They were here to get money, not to spend money!

Everyone was stunned. Kevin raised his eyebrows and was greatly impressed by Anne.

When the crowd started to calm down, Emily sighed in relief.

Anne's method was very effective.

"I came here to the hospital because I was feeling unwell and I wanted to visit my brother. But now,

you're blocking my way and I feel much sicker. My stomach is starting to hurt. If something happens to

me, you're all to blame." As she spoke, Anne placed her hand on her belly and gently rubbed it. Her big

eyes surveyed the crowd, wanting to make eye contact with every single person.

Slowly, the crowd dispersed as they started to leave one by one.

The sight made Anne nod with satisfaction as she continued, "Regardless of Sam's ignorance, we can't

deny that three people died in this hospital. Trust us that we will get to the bottom of this, and we will

compensate you with money that is within reason.

However, I can already tell you that ten million is too much. Even if you bring us to court, it's impossible

for you to get that amount.

What's more, Sam is currently hurt. I believe several of you know who's responsible for that and should

pay for his treatment.

However, Sam doesn't intend to make a big deal out of it."

Kevin saw the police was on their way to the corridor and gave a slight nod to Anne.

Anne understood Kevin's signal and continued, "We know that you're hurting because you've lost a

family member. However, we have to follow the law. Rest assured, you will be compensated. But I hope

you can wait for it quietly and let the process run its course. Otherwise, it could only go bad for you."

As soon as Anne finished speaking, the police came and dispersed the crowd immediately.

There were still a couple of people who were unwilling to leave. However, the sight of the police made

them reconsider and finally they left with their heads down.

Anne took out the crumpled clothes from her belly and threw them aside.

They were successful in avoiding trouble, but they were not happy with what had happened.

"This matter is not that simple as it seems. I can't stay here any longer. I want to leave the hospital!"

Sam, who sat on the bed and was quiet the entire time, said firmly to everyone.

Emily placed her hands on his shoulders and tried to persuade him. "You have a concussion, and your

wounds haven't healed yet," she said with a soft voice. "Stay here for two more days, okay?

What's more, they are a group of madmen. I don't know when they will come to you again. It's safer

here. "

"I can't stay here." Sam shook his head and turned to Kevin. "Kevin, help me complete the discharge

papers!"

Without hesitation, Kevin turned around and left. Emily bit her lips and looked at Anne. Anne nodded at

her and said, "In this situation, even if we force Sam to stay here, he wouldn't be able to rest well,

which would be harmful to his health. In that case, it's better for him to go out and find evidence!

He shouldn't suffer for something he didn't do!"

Emily's body froze. She gave her a slight nod and started packing Sam's things.

With his eyes half-open, Sam waited for Kevin to come back. "I already have someone in mind who

might have been involved in this matter. Let's go there together."

Kevin nodded, said goodbye to Anne, and drove off with Sam.
