Chapter 999 You Bastard

"Ms. Nicole, right? Mr. Bush wants to see you."

Nicole sneered at the doctor's words.

"I am not sure if I am allowed in the operating room."

"Technically, you are not allowed in the operating room, but Mr. Bush is in critical condition now. We
think it is for the patient's best if his relatives can say some words of encouragement."

The doctor calmly talked to Nicole.

Nicole felt that this doctor must have been bought by someone like Mr. Bush.

She did not move, but said calmly, "I can sign a consent form for operation or a critically ill notification.
But I can't take a last look at him on behalf of his daughter or his wife. I'm sorry I have to leave now if
there is nothing that I can do."

Nicole then turned around and was about to leave, but she was stopped by the doctor.

"Ms. Nicole, you can't be so unkind. Mr. Bush is truly in critical condition. Perhaps this is his last wish."

"Sorry, I am not his relative or his close friend."

Nicole easily got rid of the doctor.

She looked at the policemen outside the operating room and said, "Remember to keep your eyes on
him. Otherwise, he might just run away."

Nicole then directly gave Gabrielle a call.

"Gabrielle, do you know anyone at the Central Hospital?"



"Yes, I know the Director of that hospital. What's the matter?"

Gabrielle was slightly stunned when she received Nicole's call.

"I wonder if you could help me to contact the Director. Braden is in critical condition. His doctor asked
me to go to the operating room to pep him up. I want to know if I am allowed to do so according to the
rules of the hospital."

The doctor looked pale when Nicole called Gabrielle. She was so scared that she quickly took a step
back when she heard Nicole asked such a question.

However, Nicole was not in the mood to forgive her.

Since you have the guts to take money from Braden, you should also be prepared to take the
consequences for it.

What's worse, she even tried to force her to go into the operating room just now.

Nicole glanced at her badge and coldly said, "Her name was Carrie Caldwell."

Carrie was so scared that she immediately talked to Nicole.

"Ms. Nicole, I'm just trying to get patients' thoughts across. You can just forget it if you are unwilling to
do so."

"It's too late and I can't let it go now. Your Director will be here soon. Why don't you wait and explain
what happened just now to him?"

Nicole hung up the phone.

Gabrielle was really effective.



Shortly after Nicole hung up the phone, the Director of the Central Hospital trotted over.

The Director must be worried about his future now.

Gabrielle was the Director of the Military Hospital. The papers she published drew widespread
recognition in the medical field. He might not be able to stay as the Director of the Central Hospital if he
upset Gabrielle. That was why he came over in such a short period of time.

"Ms. Nicole, I'm really sorry to put you through this. This is our fault."

The Director wiped the sweat off his face and talked to Nicole respectfully.

Nicole coldly looked at him and said, "This doctor kept pushing me to the operating room. I want to
know whether it is against the rules or not."

"It's her fault. I will punish her for her misconduct. You can leave for your business now. I will personally
make an apology to you later."

The Director incessantly scolded Carrie when he found out that Nicole was Samuel's wife.

Although Samuel was currently in legal trouble which had a great negative impact, the one-hundred-
year-old Green family would not easily decline. Besides, Samuel also had three close friends who
could offer a helping hand when necessary. Nobody would dare offend Mrs. Green in the Seapolis City.

Only someone who was as ignorant as Carrie would dare upset Nicole for some petty profits.

Nicole was quite satisfied with how this ended.

She looked inside the operating room. Although she could not see Braden, she was sure that he could
still hear what they were talking about outside.



If she was right, it was very likely that Braden would use his illness as an excuse to ask her to get in the
operating room and then kidnap her to escape from this place.

Nicole would definitely not fall for this.

She suddenly twisted her lips and smiled, "Director, I know that Mr. Bush is in critical condition and I
think you could perform the operation yourself. I heard that people might die from myocardial infarction.
I will not blame you on it if he happens to die in the operating room."

Nicole seemed to be a little cold-blooded. It's like she was telling the Director to just kill him.

Braden was so angry that he started to scream at Nicole.

"Nicole, you bastard! You seem to forget that I have taken care of you for more than twenty years. How
could you be so ruthless?"

Braden looked quite healthy and didn't seem to have myocardial infarction.

It seemed that she was right about Braden's health condition.

Nicole sneered and said, "Looks like I bring good luck to Mr. Bush. It seems that he fully recovers from
his disease even without the doctor's treatment. Since he is healthy, would you please bring him back
to the police station, officer?

The policemen could definitely tell that Braden lied to them about his illness.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

Carrie couldn't hide anything now.

"Mr. Bush just took some medicine that kept his heart beating slow."



"Enough of this nonsense!"

The Director glared at Carrie.

"Is it okay now for us to take him into custody?" The policemen asked just to be safe.

"No problem. Mr. Bush is in good health."

Carrie finally came clean.

The policemen were so angry that they immediately went into the operating room to bring Braden back
to the police station.

Nicole smiled coldly, but she felt a little sad.

The policemen quickly brought Braden out of the operating room.

Braden looked at Nicole angrily and even attempted to kick her.

"How could you be so ruthless? You have no feelings for me even if I raised you for so many years!
You bastard! You are nothing but an insensate machine."

Braden used to be very gentle and elegant, and he would never swear at Nicole. He now showed his
true colors and looked completely different from what he was in the past.

Nicole knew that he could do anything for his own daughter, but she didn't expect him to be so
different.

She did not say anything and just watched coldly as Braden was led by the policemen. It seemed like
she was looking at a stranger and what happened had nothing to do with her.

Just as Braden was led out of the operating room, Mrs. Bush suddenly rushed out.



"Nicole, I'll kill you! Everyone will be fine as long as you die!"

Mrs. Bush held a sharp dagger in her hand and coldly stared at Nicole. She came at Nicole like mad.

The policemen were a little anxious, but if they let go of Braden, Braden would just run away.

Nicole was rather calm.

She didn't dodge when Mrs. Bush came at her. She was a little disappointed when she was nearly
stabbed by Mrs. Bush.

She suddenly lifted her foot and directly kicked Mrs. Bush on her wrist.

Nicole's heart was broken when the dagger fell on the ground, creating a crisp sound.

Mrs. Bush was stunned for a moment, but she continued to come at Nicole.

"If I go down, I will take you with me!"

She even thought about using her head as a sharp weapon, and it seemed that she really wanted to
use whatever she had to take Nicole down.

Nicole sighed slightly and turned around a little bit. Mrs. Bush couldn't stop and threw herself forward.

Mrs. Bush bumped her head against the door of the operating room. She felt dizzy, sat on the floor and
cried loudly.

"Heavens, I am so miserable! I spent years raising a child who came after my husband. What can I do
now?"

Nicole was shocked at Mrs. Bush's craziness.



After all, Mrs. Bush used to be elegant and noble. How could she end up being mad?

Nicole shook her head. She didn't even bother to see what Mrs. Bush was up to. Instead, she turned to
Braden.

Braden made eye contact with Nicole, but he suddenly didn't dare look into her eyes.

"Dad, do you think you are qualified to be my dad now?"

Braden chewed his lips and remained silent.

Apparently, Mrs. Bush stayed here for a long time trying to attack Nicole. This couple hatched this plot
together, but they were really vulnerable.

Nicole could end up being a loser if she didn't leave behind her appreciation for Mr. and Mrs. Bush.
Unfortunately, Nicole gradually had no feelings for them because of what they did to her. Now, Nicole
only felt that what happened just now was just a joke.

"I think you the real reason behind your attempt to escape from prison by kidnapping me is Melissa,
your biological daughter. I don't know how did you know everything about her, but it's impossible for me
to just let her go. You guys should take a look at what she did to me. I will definitely not allow a woman
who wanted to kill me at any time to get away with punishment."

Nicole knew exactly what's on their mind.

Braden was stunned for a moment, and then he gave Nicole a different look.

"Nicole, would you please stop torturing Melissa? She's our only daughter! She could not have suffered
so much all these years if it weren't for you."



"Whatever she went through had nothing to do with me. I was just a baby back then and I couldn't
decide anything on my own. How could you ask me to take responsibility for it? Or do you think that I
will be soft-hearted if you talk to me like this? I will do nothing to Melissa if she didn't pick on me first.
Whatever you do or say, I will never forgive Melissa. In addition, you are so naive if you think I would be
lenient on you because you bring me up. I have already paid you back. Therefore, I will call the police
to arrest Mrs. Bush and launch a lawsuit against her on the charge of attempted murder!"

Mrs. Bush immediately stopped crying and gawked at Nicole when she heard Nicole's words.

"What? Is it hard to understand? There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Mrs. Bush, your attempt
to stab me has already been recorded. Moreover, there are two policemen who could testify for me. I
am not accusing you of anything you haven't done. I hope that you two can reflect on your wrongdoing
behind the bars"

Nicole immediately took out her phone and intended to call the police when she finished talking.

Only then did Mrs. Bush realize what happened. She suddenly got up from the ground and came at
Nicole's phone.
