Chapter 452

Hearing Austin, Lady Gill furrowed her brows. “The bodyguards have arrived and taken control of the entire floor. Where are you?”

Glancing at Jackson’s ward, Austin said, “I’m here with Jackson.”

Lady Gill immediately sounded displeased. “I only asked you to say hello. Why are you still lingering there? Get out here immediately!”

Austin scratched his head. “I was just waiting for my sister to reply to a text message, and I’ve encountered a bit of trouble here.”

Lady Gill immediately growled, “What trouble? You’re so…” She hung up.

Austin stared blankly at his phone, and as he was in a daze, the sound of high heels approached from outside the door. Then, Lady Gill entered the ward with an authoritative air.

“What trouble have you encountered?”

Lady Gill looked directly at Jackson.

Jackson pointed at Nara. “I asked her to peel an apple for me, and she intentionally got blood all over her hands, making it look like I was bullying her! If a doctor can’t even steady a fruit knife, how will she hold a scalpel in the future?!”

Upon hearing this, Lady Gill frowned and turned her gaze toward Nara.

Nara shook her head, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t.

Keira stepped forward, shielding Nara behind her. “Lady Gill, anyone with eyes can see what’s happening here. Surely you’re not going to add insult to injury?”

Lady Gill sneered. “What’s going on? I don’t know what you’re talking about! Jackson is making perfect sense here. What do you have to say for yourselves?”

Keira said, “It’s clear that he…”

“He what? When he did whatever you’re about to say, were you present, Miss Olsen?”

Lady Gill cut off Keira, then turned to Austin, “You tell me!”

Austin grinned. “Miss Olsen was grabbing me in the hallway, wanting to discuss a partnership, and then we heard a cry from the ward. Miss Olsen and I entered the ward, and that’s when we saw this scene. Neither Miss Olsen nor I saw what happened!”

He walked over to Lady Gill and linked arms with her. “Mom, I think Jackson is making a lot of sense, and this Nara is incapable of saying anything. It must be her fault!”

Nara looked at them in astonishment.

She was mute, so of course, she couldn’t speak!

But now they were using this to attack her?

Keira’s gaze also turned cold. “Nara can’t speak. Don’t you go too far!”

“How can’t she speak? I heard the mute speak just now…” Austin looked at Nara with a smile. “Come on, repeat it, let my mother hear it. Mom, you didn’t hear it, but when a mute speaks, the voice is unpleasant and grates the ears.”

Tears welled up in Nara’s eyes and rolled down.

She had just struggled to speak, yet the man was mocking her…

She pursed her lips, daring not to speak again.

Keira scolded Austin harshly, “Shut your mouth!”

“Miss Olsen! Don’t you go too far!” Lady Gill defended her son immediately. “This is a hospital under Gill Group. We are on our turf. What we say and do is our freedom! Even if you are Sam’s treasured darling, you can’t control my son, right?”

Keira became furious, “You….”

The Gill family was being completely unreasonable!

Lady Gill scoffed, then pointed outside. “Miss Olsen, we have other things to do. Please leave!”

Keira took a deep breath.

If the Gill family controlled Clance’s medical system, then finding out why Ellis had azoospermia would still require their cooperation.

Moreover, her second task hadn’t yet been accomplished. Among the five great families of Clance, only the Gill family was left with whom she could form a good relationship.

But with how the Gill family was behaving, it was clear that cooperation was impossible; staying here would only bring humiliation upon herself.

Had she reached a dead end?

Keira took a deep breath, grabbed Nara, and said firmly, “Let’s go!”

As they were about to leave the ward, Jackson suddenly said, “Wait a moment!”

The two stopped in their tracks.

Jackson smiled. “Aunt, we should cancel Nara’s internship qualification! Don’t scare other patients. She’s injuring herself all the time…”

Nara clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling.

Keira became her mouthpiece. “Jackson, don’t you go too far! Cancel her internship? Do you think that your family monopolizes the entire Clance?!”

“Tsk, tsk.”

Jackson scoffed, “The medical system of private hospitals is ours. What, do you think she can get into a public hospital? Or perhaps she can get into Nora Research Institute? Her hand is now useless! I just see her as a joke!”

Useless hand?

Lady Gill’s gaze finally landed on Nara.

Following her bleeding hand, Lady Gill’s gaze slowly moved up, landing on Nara’s face, and then she paused slightly.
