Chapter 467: I Won’t Be a Burden
After waiting for them to finish their explanations, the compartment finally quieted down. Dennis immediately and discreetly moved closer to Cameron. “Young Master Hargraves, when does the free clinic start?”
Cameron glanced at the time and responded in a deep voice, “Very soon, just wait a moment. Preparations are being made outside.”
Dennis nodded, gave Olivia a sarcastic look, and then turned to Cameron. “Our responsibilities here are quite heavy. Perhaps we should bring in one or two more doctors from other compartments?”
Hearing this, Olivia and the others looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he made such a request.
Cameron directly asked, “Why? Dr. Dennis, do you think we won’t be able to handle it?”
Dennis waved his hands repeatedly. “If we had four doctors here, it would be enough. But right now… I’m worried that we might not be thorough enough when examining the children, which could lead to mistakes.”
As he spoke, Dennis glanced suggestively at Olivia.
The implication was clear: he doubted Olivia’s professionalism.
Only then did Olivia realize his dissatisfaction with her, feeling puzzled.
She didn’t even know this person, yet he harbored such deep hostility towards her…
She didn’t mind others questioning her medical skills, but doing so at such a critical moment made Olivia uncomfortable.
Cameron followed his gaze to look at Olivia, then quickly withdrew his eyes, his tone turning colder. “Dr. Dennis, are you suggesting that someone among us is not up to standard?”
Dennis smiled without saying anything, essentially confirming his suspicion.
Seeing this, Cameron raised an eyebrow and looked at Olivia.
Although he had doubts about Olivia’s medical skills, he trusted that Mr. Qin and Benjamin wouldn’t recommend an incompetent Chinese medicine practitioner to the Hargraves family.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
But that trust wasn’t enough for him to stand up for her.
Harold, watching this farce from the side, frowned. “Dr. Dennis, we are all doctors here, and this is a critical moment for the free clinic. Please don’t disrupt others’ mindset. Anyone’s competence will naturally be evident during the consultations.”
Dennis hadn’t expected even Harold to stand up for this woman, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he suspiciously glanced at the three of them.
His thoughts were obvious.
The expressions of the three darkened simultaneously.
Cameron frowned but restrained his anger for the sake of the Hargraves family’s image.
Olivia, however, couldn’t hold back anymore. She strode up to Dennis and spoke coldly, “Dr. Dennis, I don’t know you, but you are older than me. I understand if you doubt my medical skills, but it’s excessive to misunderstand me like this!”
Dennis hadn’t expected this woman to be so assertive. The words on his lips circled around before he swallowed them back down.
“Regarding your concerns just now, I can assure you that I won’t be a burden to anyone. If I show any unprofessionalism, you can point it out anytime, and I will voluntarily withdraw. The patients in this free clinic are all children, I won’t joke around with their health!” Olivia stood seriously in front of Dennis.
Dennis’s arrogance unconsciously diminished a bit, and his tone became much more hesitant. “Since you said so yourself, if something does go wrong…”
Before he could finish speaking, Harold’s gentle voice echoed in the compartment. “If there are any problems, I will help her handle them. Dr. Dennis, just take care of yourself.”
