Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Something Went Wrong
"I am her brother."
All along, Liam Monroe had been claiming to be July Quinn’s brother.
After receiving the response, the doctor gestured for Liam to follow him outside.
But at this moment, July Quinn stopped them.
"No need to say it outside, saying it here is just the same."
The doctor hesitated for a moment and glanced at Liam.
"Don’t overthink it." Liam still wanted to find other reasons to distract July Quinn.
But July Quinn didn’t even give him the chance to make excuses, and bluntly stated:
"I’m not a three-year-old child. I have the right to know about my own health condition."
Her instinct told her that something must be wrong!
But that couldn’t be it.
Previously, her attending doctor had clearly said that she could live safely until she was twenty-five.
"Miss Quinn, what you need now is plenty of rest, so your body can recover more quickly."
The doctor was ready to use a typical comforting line to brush her off, not knowing that this was also a trick that July Quinn, being a doctor herself, had used countless times.
"Save that nonsense for yourself."
"This..."
The doctor hadn’t expected such a good-looking patient to be so hard to fool and was momentarily at a loss, seeking help from Liam.
Liam turned back to glance at July Quinn, "Let’s talk here."
July Quinn was also a doctor, and she had hundreds of ways to find out the truth about her condition.
So ultimately, she couldn’t be kept in the dark.
The doctor looked at Liam repeatedly, ensuring Liam wasn’t indicating that he should play along, and then began to inform July Quinn of her current health condition.
"Miss Quinn’s heart failure is severe. If surgery is not performed, she might not make it to the end of the year..."
"How could that be? She had an examination before and was told she would have no problems at least until she was twenty-five."
Liam’s emotions were unusually agitated, even to the point where he grabbed the doctor’s collar.
As for July Quinn...
She seemed so shocked that she was momentarily unable to gather her thoughts, remaining silent for a long time, without letting any other expression emerge on her beautiful face.
"I don’t know about that, but the report from today shows this result. I guess it might be related to the excessive stress Miss Quinn has been under lately."
The conversation between the doctor and Liam continued.
"Stress?"
"Wasn’t Miss Quinn previously revealed to not be a biological member of the Quinn Family and also betrayed by someone she once considered a close relative?"
The doctor was also one who enjoyed consuming drama.
The online gossip about July Quinn and Charles Quinn, Nina Quinn was his recent dining companion.
He just didn’t expect that the subject of that gossip, July Quinn, would enter his clinic and become his patient.
And he even less expected that the person, whom netizens jokingly called the protagonist of a hidden identity drama, would be diagnosed with such serious heart failure.
He automatically linked July Quinn’s illness with the tangled and messy affairs of the Quinn Family.
As if posting these inside stories online would drown Charles and Nina Quinn, that father and daughter, in public criticism.
But as a doctor, he must protect the patient’s privacy and not disclose July Quinn’s current situation.
"Such psychological blows are the most intolerable for patients like this. Yet, that father-daughter pair from the Quinn Family strikes again and again, utterly disgraceful."
If he can’t criticize that father-daughter pair online, then might as well vent in reality.
Thus, following that, only the doctor’s shouting, berating sounds filled the ward.
Besides that, the doctor also suggested July Quinn to undergo surgery by the end of this month, increasing the surgery’s success rate to five percent.
Even after Liam and the doctor finished discussing the treatment plan and escorted the doctor out of the ward, July Quinn still wore a blank expression...
