Chapter 568: Stopping A Doctor Halfway

At this moment, in the airport…

An aircraft on an international flight was about to land.

A tall and slender lady nearly 1.75 meters tall strutted out in a pair of high heels.

She was wearing a pair of dark brown sunglasses, making her face look really small.

She had a high nose bridge and diamond-shaped red lips.

Even though only half her face was visible, she was obviously a beauty.

Moreover, she was tall and had an excellent figure.

Exuding a valiant aura, she was particularly outstanding as she walked through the crowd, attracting the attention of many people around her.

She was holding a small suitcase in her hand while walking forward leisurely.

She raised her hand and looked at the exquisite Chanel J12 watch on her wrist.

Seeing that the big hand wasnt pointing at 12 yet, she couldnt help sighing.

“I didnt expect to arrive so early today because flights are usually late.

How rare.”

She took out her phone and was about to call Lucas when three figures suddenly approached her eagerly and asked, “Are you the medical expert Dr.

Maddy Stone”

Maddy looked over and saw that the person asking her was a man in the fifties, with two bodyguards in black suits standing behind him.

She was a little puzzled because she was expecting to see only Lucas.

But now, Lucas was nowhere in sight. Lucas couldnt make it because something cropped up at the last minute, so he sent someone to pick me up

“Did Lucas send you” she asked in puzzlement.

The middle-aged man suddenly smiled with joy and exclaimed, “Dr.

Stone, we finally get to meet!”

He was so elated that he didnt even notice what Maddy said.

He stretched out his hand.

“I am Moses Kingston from San Francisco, and Im here to pick you up.

Nice to meet you, Dr.

Stone!”

Maddy immediately frowned.

Hearing his words, she could tell that he obviously wasnt Lucass subordinate but someone who had probably learned of her identity through some other channel.

Over the past few years, her attainments in the field of medicine had been rather high, and her fame had risen again and again along with it.

She often had many people coming up to her all of a sudden to try to get to know her or ask her to help treat someone, so she had been rather annoyed.

Generally speaking, she would keep her whereabouts private and known only to a few people.

Clearly, the middle-aged man in front of her was one of those who came to her because he had heard about her somewhere.

Maddy had never been polite to such people.

“Im sorry.

I dont know you, nor do I intend to get to know you.

I have something important to do now.

Ill get going.”

Then she walked toward the side.

But just as she took two steps, the two bodyguards in black suits immediately stood in front of her.

“What do you mean by this” Maddy immediately flew into a rage and glared at Moses with a frown.

Moses said domineeringly, though with an apologetic look on his face, “Dr.

Stone, I dont harbor any ill intentions toward you.

I have no choice but to stop you.

The doctor told me that youre the only one who can save my son from having his legs amputated!

“My son hasnt even reached the age of thirty yet, nor has he even gotten married and had children.

How can he live for the rest of his life if his legs are amputated My son has lost the courage to continue living because of his injury, and as his father, it really hurts me to see him like this!

“So, I beg you.

Please save my son.

No matter how much money you want, Ill give it to you as long as you can save my son!

“Oh yes, Im from the Kingston family, one of the top families in Calfornia, and the family head, Lance Kingston, is my father.

We will fulfill any request you have, and we wont shortchange you! As long as you cure my son, the Kingstons will owe you a favor, and well help you solve all trouble you encounter as long as its within California!”

Finally, Moses declared his familys status, partly because he wanted to make Maddy have faith in their financial power.

Another reason was naturally to deter her.

Almost no one in California dared to offend the Kingstons.

Of course, the only exception was Lucas, who had gone to their door to confront them yesterday.

Maddy could naturally tell what Moses meant, so she felt a little repulsed.

But she had seen many patients families who were mostly extremely anxious or callous with their words because they were too worried.

Out of benevolence as a doctor, Maddy felt a trace of compassion after hearing about the tragic situation of Mosess son.

If she could save a young man who was seriously injured to the point that he was suicidal, she wouldnt reject it.

But she had agreed to meet Lucas and treat his father-in-law first after all.

Be it because of principals or her ties with him, she should treat his father-in-law first.

Besides, Lucass father-in-law was an urgent patient to deal with.

“Im really sorry.

I have two patients here in Orange County who are in urgent need of treatment.

Ill contact you to help you with your sons illness as soon as I finish with things here.

How about that” Maddy said.

To be honest, she was already doing this out of the kindness of a doctor and consideration of Moses and his sons relationship.

Otherwise, if she agreed to help just anyone who ran up to her and asked her to help save their family members, she would have died of exhaustion long ago.

But Moses panicked when he heard that she had to treat other patients before helping his son.

He immediately took out the check for 4 million dollars from his pocket and handed it to Maddy.

“Dr.

Stone, heres four million dollars! As long as you promise to save my son, this money will belong to you immediately! Furthermore, this is just an advance payment.

Once my son recovers, Ill give you another six million.

How does that sound”

Although he had forked out his life savings of about 15 million dollars yesterday in order to redeem his sons life from Lucas and claimed that it was all he had, he obviously wasnt as stupid as to give away all his savings.

He hadnt really been regarded highly in the family all these years and couldnt gain any direct benefits from them.

But it also meant that he received less attention, so it was more convenient for him to do other things.

Therefore, he had secretly stashed away a large sum of money over these decades.

He was actually a very scheming person who knew to keep a low profile.

Even though Marc had been expelled from the Kingstons, Moses was confident that he would be able to become the next helmsman as long as he put his mind to it.

At that time, his son, Marc, would naturally be able to return to the family again!

As long as his sons leg could be cured, he wouldnt mind paying a few million dollars or even tens of millions of dollars.

Maddy was extremely displeased with the way Moses was trying to entice her with money.

He was acting as if she would agree to treat his son as long as he paid her.

This, on the contrary, made Maddy feel rather disgusted.

“I just told you that I have two very important patients to treat in Orange County.

Once Im done treating them, Ill naturally go take a look at your son,” she said coldly.

Moses said indignantly, “No, my sons condition is very serious, and we cant afford to delay treatment any longer! How about this Ill give you another six million dollars now to make it ten million! When my sons legs get better, Ill give you another four million!”

Maddy was really enraged this time.

“Cant you understand English Its not about money! Get out of the way!”

Then she turned around and tried to bypass them.

“No, you cant leave!” Mosess face turned gloomy, and he waved his hand.

Both his bodyguards trapped Maddy in between them, preventing her from leaving.
