Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 182

Nathan and Penny walked out of Adventist Private Hospital, and Penny heaved a long sigh, “Now that you’ve hit him, I don’t think it’s possible for him to operate on the three workers even if we promise to him six billion.”

However, Nathan reassured her, “It’s okay. Dr. Rothschild will handle the patients. I will make sure this pervert suffers a fate worse than death if he does not apologize to me, kneeling later.”

Penny could only shake her head, thinking that her husband had his head up in the clouds again.

Nathan then followed Penny home. She was dead beat because she did not sleep a wink last night.

Meanwhile, Benson Smith and Leah Smith made lunch and the family got together for a meal.

The Smiths were in low spirits, forming a stark comparison to Nathan.

Meanwhile, the TV was broadcasting news on Channing. A reporter was denouncing the construction site accident at Asiatic Mall.

The reporter deplored, “The construction site accident has caused the injury of 32 people. Three workers are currently in critical condition. It is said that the person in charge, Penny Smith, is only a young woman in her twenties. Besides, it has been found out that she does not have any experience in capital construction. This accident is most likely caused by her negligence. After a thorough investigation is done on the root cause of the accident, she will be remanded and charged for her oversight.”

Benson and Leah’s expressions changed drastically after hearing the news. They hurriedly switch off the TV.

Penny could only smile bitterly. Defamation and fame are just two sides of the same coin.

A number of people had turned green with envy when she had gotten the tender for the Asiatic Mall project.

However, after the incident at the construction site, they turned their backs against her, and could not wait to see her behind bars.

If it was indeed due to negligence on her part, and the workers had become casualties of the accident, then she might really have to face jail time.

With these thoughts in mind, she lost her appetite. Penny had a few bites and went into her room to take a nap.

Before taking her nap, she reminded Nathan, Wake me up after half an hour. Even if we couldn’t get Richard Steele to operate for the three workers, we have to try our best to get the second-best alternative.”

Nathan replied calmly, “Don’t worry, I have my plans.”

Penny dragged her knackered body back to the room.

Benson and Leah could not hold it in any longer after Penny had left and hurriedly asked Nathan, “Nathan, is it true that Penny might go to jail for that serious construction site accident? It’s all over the news.”

Nathan reassured the two, “Don’t worry, mom and dad. A few workers were hurt but there were no casualties. The accident isn’t considered serious. Penny is going to be alright.”

Benson and Leah visibly relaxed at Nathan’s explanation. However, they were still worried since the news reporter had mentioned that there were three workers who were still in critical condition.

Queenie then pulled at the corner of Nathan’s shirt and looked at him nervously, “Daddy, you cannot let mommy go to jail. I’m scared that I won’t get to see mommy again.”

Nathan picked up his daughter and pinched at her nose lightly and teased her, “Don’t talk nonsense. Daddy will not let mommy go to jail.”

Queenie’s eyes gleamed with delight, “Really?”

Nathan smiled, “When has daddy ever lied to you?”

Queenie then chuckled and replied excitedly, “Yes! Daddy always does what he says. Daddy is the best!”

Penny had wanted to sleep for half an hour. However, she woke up and realized it was already four in the afternoon.

I’ve slept for four hours straight!

Nathan did not wake me up as I asked him to!

Penny was enraged and hurriedly got off the bed. She headed out of the room and saw Nathan in the living room.

She had wanted to question Nathan on why he did not wake her up when Nathan interrupted her with a grin on his face, “Honey, you’re awake just in time. We have to get to the hospital. The doctor who’s going to operate on the three workers will arrive at Channing Hospital soon.”

Penny was stumped. Did Nathan look for another famous surgeon while I was asleep?

Her anger dissipated into thin air at the thought, and she was quite touched as she gazed at Nathan.

Nathan’s so considerate this time. He secretly arranged for everything when I was asleep, seeing as I had lost sleep the night before.

Penny could not help but gaze tenderly at him. Silly, you didn’t sleep a wink last night too. You wanted me to rest when you did not even rest yourself.

She followed Nathan out of the house and asked him gently, “Nathan, which surgeon did you engage? Is he trustworthy?”

Nathan merely grinned, “I trust him with my life. You’ll know who it is when you get to the hospital.”
