Secret Wealthy Marriage

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Meeting the Rival in Love Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Meeting the Rival in Love Matilda Ferguson returned to the Ferguson Residence, detailing George Morris’s misdeeds. Naturally, her father, Floyd Ferguson, sided with her as Matilda was indeed wronged at that moment.

At this point, family members’ consolation was needed. Floyd and Ailin Ferguson joined Matilda in cursing George Morris.

However, they all knew why their relationship had come to this. When Bryan Hawkins was still in a wheelchair, Matilda wasn’t too keen to abandon him for George Morris. It was their pressure that made her comply.

Now that Bryan Hawkins stood up, Matilda’s heart wavered. Any man would be upset, especially George Morris, who was a career rival to Bryan Hawkins.

So, after giving George Morris a good talking to, the family started to persuade Matilda, saying that it wasn’t just George’s fault. Matilda woke up and wondered if these were really her family members.

However, over the years, she had long understood the true faces of her family, and so had no choice but to give in.

But this time, she couldn’t so easily forgive George Morris.

Yes, the news of Bryan Hawkins standing up again had made her heart bloom. She thought that he would never stand up again. After all, she had once asked the doctor who told her it would be difficult.

She couldn’t believe that Bryan Hawkins had such perseverance. He managed to do what the doctor thought was almost impossible in just a year. To her, this was both a surprise and a miracle.

She now had to adjust herself properly and wait for the day she would reunite with Bryan Hawkins. As for George Morris, she had lost interest in him. As for what choices she would make, she wanted to see what Bryan Hawkins would choose first.

The next day, Matilda went to the People Hospital’s Surgical Clinic for medication.

Due to George Morris’s push, the corner of her eye accidentally hit the corner of the table, causing a large cut. The skincare commercial she was shooting had to be halted, benefiting a newcomer.

She didn’t care about the loss of the advertising fee. Compared with the news about Bryan Hawkins, this loss was nothing compared to the shock of Bryan standing up again.

An Outpatient Nurse did a skin test for Matilda, and Carolline Ruiz saw her while waiting for the results.

When the two saw each other, they were both stunned. Carolline reacted first, “Lottie, this is what you wanted, I’ll put it here.”

“Thank you, Carolline,” Lottie responded with a smile. Today was quite busy in the clinic. Meeting Matilda was either fortunate or unfortunate. Since Matilda accidentally became an international celebrity, her visits here always resulted in them clearing the area first. People were no longer fond of her domineering attitude.

Carolline took another look at Matilda and her accompanying Ailin and Floyd Ferguson, wondering what gave them the right to make so many patients wait outside.

Matilda arrogantly raised her head, and when their eyes met, there was a spark of confrontation. Carolline then opened the door and shouted, “Those without a seat, please wait inside.”

Lottie looked up at Carolline admiringly. Her father, Henry Ruiz, was the same way, not fearing the powerful, and not giving any patient special privileges. There would be no green channel for anyone.

Carolline inherited such traits from her father.

Nobody knew what the Fergusons relied on when they boldly chased outpatients. Many people recognized Matilda and thought they should give way to the superstar.

This was the common problem of Z Country citizens: they never knew how to actively defend their rights and would consciously give way to special individuals.

“Carolline, what do you mean?” Matilda was furious, standing up and shouting Carolline’s name.

“No particular meaning, patients should be treated equally in the clinic. I wonder, Miss Ferguson, what are you relying on?” Carolline replied calmly.

“Carolline, are you pretending to be ignorant? Don’t you know my status now?” Matilda pointed at Carolline’s nose and shouted.

Some young people recognized her, but the older ones didn’t know who Matilda Ferguson was.

“All I know is that those who come here are patients. Moreover, our clinic has clear distinctions between patient resting areas and waiting areas for family members. There shouldn’t be too many illiterate people nowadays, right? Now, everyone, find a place to sit. This is the patient’s resting area, so please leave if you are not a patient.” Carolline spoke righteously, addressing Floyd and Ailin Ferguson.

“You little girl, are you too impolite?” Floyd Ferguson couldn’t take it any longer. He stood up. Although Carolline’s remarks made sense, sometimes reason has to be spoken based on the person involved.

“We think Nurse Carolline is absolutely right. No one we know has ever said she’s impolite. If she were impolite, what would the difference be between what many people say here and barking?” Several doctors from the outpatient clinic came, one of whom had a particularly good relationship with Henry Ruiz and also really liked Carolline, so he sided with her.

Some onlookers covered their mouths and giggled. With only three people on Matilda’s side, it became extremely awkward.

“Oh, I recognize you now. You are the recent hot superstar, Matilda Ferguson, right? When Isabel Willow came to our hospital, she wore a mask and queued up for treatment. She was so low-key, and she’s not only a domestic star but also an international one. It seems that people’s quality varies a lot. Heh—” Another young male doctor in a white coat sighed.

Everyone knew Isabel Willow. A decade ago, she starred in a palace drama that became a household name. To this day, no TV show has surpassed the ratings record it created.

Embarassed, Matilda lowered her head. Her resentful gaze at Carolline promised retribution.

She lost this battle, but she would never let Carolline off the hook.
