Chapter 4 Maximilian, You Are Actually...
The Lee family? Everyone in Griffith family looked suspicious and confused for a moment.
Where was the Lee family from?
“Mr. Edwin, this Lee family...”
Samuel slightly showed a smile. He had understood from the words of the Griffith family’s descendants just now.
The fact that this Lee family sent so many expensive medical equipment and drugs was enough to show their status and strength, which the Griffith family was in no way comparable to.
Mr. Edwin only smiled slightly, looking at Maximilian, and said,
“I’m just here for the delivery. I don’t know anything else.”
With that, he left the ward immediately.
For a moment, the ward was silent.
“Who the hell is this Lee family? Why did he send those gifts here? Does anyone of you know this Lee family?” Samuel inquired.
The children and grandchildren of the Griffiths all shook their heads, bewildered.
“Grandpa, could it be the Lee family Maximilian comes from?” Franklin laughed ungracefully at this moment, with mockery in his eyes.
Maximilian Lee?
Everyone turned to Maximilian, who was standing on one side.
Huh. How could it be possible? A notorious wimp who had disgraced the Griffith family in H City would never come from such a prestigious family.
“Franklin, are you serious? We all know clearly about Maximilian. He is completely a wimp.”
Laura, Maximilian’s mother-in-law, scoffed twice.
She looked down upon Maximilian and didn’t know why her daughter took a fancy to such a loser.
“Well, you guys should ask around for the Lee family, a new comer in H City.” Samuel said.
“Victoria, do you know someone who is rich and influential?”
At this moment, Iris, the daughter of Samuel’s third son, said with a wry smile.
Iris despised Victoria from the bottom of her heart, as Victoria was her cousin and always favored by elders in the Griffiths.
Growing up, Victoria won a good reputation in H City. She was even regarded as the most beautiful lady in H City, ranking first among the four well-known beauties in H City.
However, all legends about Victoria ended when she married Maximilian the wimp.
As soon as Iris finished her words, the Griffiths all looked at Victoria and Maximilian teasingly. Did she cheat on him?
Those strange stares made Victoria uncomfortable.
She immediately said with a cold face, “Iris, don’t talk nonsense. I never heard of any Lee family!”
As she said this, she glanced at Maximilian, who was standing silent on the side.
Could it be him?
If it was him, why should he let her suffer grievance for four years?
“Well, stop it.”
Samuel’s interruption ended the discussion. His gaze fell on Maximilian, and then he said in a serious tone,
“Divorce agreement, sign it or not!”
“No, I won’t sign.”
Maximilian immediately refused him and said,
“I’ve borrowed the money required, and you can use my bone marrow to cure Sissi.”
Huh!
Samuel laughed coldly twice and chided,
“So what if you borrow the money? The dean of this hospital is a friend of mine and he won’t use your bone marrow if I insist!”
He couldn’t believe that Maximilian wanted to use his humble bone marrow to cure his great-granddaughter!
No way!
Hearing these words, Maximilian’s heart sank, and then he said, “Grandpa, Sissi is my daughter. Why don’t you use mine?”
“Why? It’s because you’re a wimp who has disgraced my Griffith family!”
Laura, his mother-in-law, circled her arms around her chest and cursed cynically.
If it weren’t him, her position in the Griffith family wouldn’t have fallen off like this.
“Ha ha, that’s right. Maximilian, who are you? You’re just a good for nothing, and you have no right to match the bone marrow for Sissi. If you are so capable, ask the dean to come here!”
Franklin mocked him recklessly, “As long as the dean says he can use your bone marrow, the Griffith family is fine with it, right, grandpa?”
Samuel nodded his head and said. “That’s right. As long as the dean of this hospital says your bone marrow is acceptable, I, Samuel, have no problem with it.”
Was that possible? Samuel had talked about this with the dean in advance.
Dean Jackson Shaw was his close friend.
It was harder than ever for Maximilian to get a bone marrow match for Sissi!
Victoria’s eyes were filled with tears as she watched this scene unfolding in front of her eyes. Staring at Maximilian with resentment, she went up and slapped him on the face, scolding,
“Maximilian, why are you so useless!”
As tears welled up in her eyes, Victoria turned around and ran out, covering her face with both hands.
Maximilian’s cheek was slightly red after the slap. He glanced at Victoria and intended to go after her.
However, at that moment, two doctors in white walked to the ward.
“Hey, Dean Jackson, what brings you here? Do you come to see my great-granddaughter?”
When Samuel saw the dean standing at the door, he immediately extended his hands and exclaimed with respect.
Although they were friends, in fact, Samuel still had to show his respect to Jackson.
After all, Jackson was prestigious in H City.
Many dignitaries and entrepreneurs in H City had been to Jackson’s hospital for medical treatments, and they had established close ties with him.
It was the so-called social connections.
Moreover, Jackson was well-known nationwide. In the medical community, he specialized in leukemia and enjoyed great reputation as a rising medical titan.
Eight out of ten people in H City would show respect to Doctor Jackson Shaw.
When Samuel faced Jackson, he was extremely careful to show his respect and flattery.
Jackson was in his fifties, with the Dean’s badge pinned on his chest. He first scanned the entire ward and seemed to be looking for someone before he smiled at Samuel and said,
“You’re welcome, Samuel, I’ve come to tell you something.”
“Dean Jackson, you can just inform me via the nurse if you want to say something. You don’t need to make a trip personally.”
Samuel was flattered.
Jackson smiled as his gaze fell on Maximilian. He took a few steps forward, shook off Samuel’s hand, and said to Maximilian with respect.
“Mr. Maximilian, right? I’m Jackson Shaw, the dean of this hospital.”
With that, he stretched his hands.
Maximilian was not that simple.
Five minutes ago, Jackson received a phone call in his office.
It was from the consortium behind the hospital!
It is said that a distinguished gentleman was in the hospital and Jackson Shaw must follow his orders and not disobey everything this gentleman said!
And this gentleman was none other than the Griffith family’s useless son-in-law, Maximilian Lee!
The boss of the consortium personally called to inform him about that, which showed the fact that Maximilian was definitely not a wimp, as mentioned in the rumors in H City.
This scene stunned the Griffith family in the ward!
Samuel, in particular, couldn’t believe his eyes at all. What was this about?
Jackson was actually being polite to a wimp and shook hands with him!
“Dean Jackson, what are you doing? Why are you being so polite to this wimp?” Samuel asked with suspicion.
Franklin, who was at the side, echoed, “Well, Dean Jackson, Maximilian is just a live-in son-in-law of the Griffiths, so you don’t need to be so polite to him.”
“That’s right, Dean Jackson, my son-in-law is just a poor man, why are you being so polite to him?”
Laura followed suit and immediately pointed at Maximilian to chide.
“Maximilian, what are you doing? Why you don’t hurry up and greet Dean Jackson at the first sight? Are you waiting for him to shake your hand, a wimp’s hand?”
But Jackson’s face sank suddenly and chided.
“You're getting far too cheeky! How do you talk to Mr. Maximilian like this? Stop using the word “wimp”. Do you know who Mr. Maximilian is?”
Ahem! Maximilian coughed suddenly to interrupt Jackson’s words. Then he reached out, pulling Jackson with a smile on his face, and said humbly.
“Hello, Dean Jackson, how is my daughter’s condition?”
Jackson was stunned. He twisted his head to look at him and knew something in Maximilian’s eyes, and followed,
“Mr. Maximilian, don’t worry. We will definitely do our best to cure your daughter.”
It seemed that Mr. Maximilian didn’t want to reveal his identity in front of these people.
Pop!
Suddenly, Laura smacked away Maximilian’s grip on Jackson’s hand, scolding.
“What are you doing? You have no right to shake hands with Dean Jackson, you punk!”
Jackson was so furious that his eyes were wide open as he stared at Laura, an ignorant middle-aged woman!
It would be a great honor for him to shake hands with Mr. Maximilian!
This stupid woman probably didn’t know who Mr. Maximilian was yet!
Huh!
Laura saw Jackson’s anger and took it for granted that he was angry with Maximilian, so she said hurriedly,
“Dean Jackson, don’t be angry. He’s just a piece of shit, so you don’t have to be polite to him.”
Jackson grunted, turned his head, and said to Samuel.
“Samuel, I’m here to inform you that bone marrow from blood relative is the best.”
As soon as these words were uttered, both Samuel and the Griffiths were unfazed.
“Dean Jackson, haven’t we reached a consensus that you will use the bone marrow I bought to match?”
Samuel was anxious!
Using the blood relative’s bone marrow meant they would use the bone marrow of that wimp, Maximilian! No, absolutely not!
Dean Jackson looked coldly at Samuel and said, “It’s a hospital rule and it’s for the patient’s safety. The chances of rejection with bone marrow from blood relative are extremely low!”
In a flash, Samuel’s face turned ugly.
He frowned and looked at Maximilian, unable to figure out in his own mind why Dean Jackson suddenly changes his mind.
“Dean Jackson, may I talk to you in private?” Samuel wanted to say something else.
However, Jackson directly ignored him and continued,
“Not necessary. The matter is settled. We will use Mr. Maximilian’s bone marrow, and since he is the little girl’s father, you should not stop it.”
Franklin saw Jackson went against his grandpa’s order this time and immediately muttered in a low voice.
“Damn it! What’s the big deal about pretending! We’ll transfer to another hospital.”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward chilled suddenly.
Jackson’s eyes chilled as he stared at Franklin in the crowd.
Samuel’s heart trembled and then he slapped him with a backhand,
“Bastard! Who told you to be so disrespectful to Dean Jackson?”
Following that, he hurriedly arched his hands to Jackson and apologized,
“Dean Jackson, I’m sorry, my grandson is young and inevitably impulsive. If he offends you unintentionally, please forgive him.”
Samuel thought Franklin was a fool. If they offended Dean Jackson, no hospital in H City would accept Sissi.
Jackson waved his hand, grunting, and then smiled to Maximilian as the crowd stared at him in amazement.
“Mr. Maximilian, I’ll leave first.”
Maximilian nodded in his heart, helpless.
It wasn’t until Jackson left that the Griffiths stared at Maximilian with a bewildered expression.
“Maximilian, what exactly did you do? Dean Jackson actually helped you!”
Franklin rubbed his face, feeling furious.
He didn’t dare to be cynical about Jackson, so he could only put the blame on Maximilian.
However, Maximilian said simply.
“Franklin, it’s useless for you to argue with me. This is the dean’s order and if you are capable, you can argue with the dean.”
“Fuck...” Franklin was furious.
Samuel said coldly,
“That’s enough!”
And then, with his eyes pale, he stared at Maximilian with great dissatisfaction and said, “Since it’s Dean Jackson’s idea, I naturally won’t stop it. However, don’t think that by doing so, I’ll let Sissi recognize you!”
After saying that, Samuel left the ward with the others.
Once they left, Maximilian looked at his terrified daughter on the hospital bed with a smile. He walked over, tenderly touched her little head, and said. “Daddy will definitely cure you.”
Sissi was very well-behaved and didn’t make any noise just now.
At this moment, she jumped directly into Maximilian’s arms, crying, and muttered softly.
“Daddy, Daddy...”
Maximilian’s heart was broken and his eyes turned red as he heard Sissi call him daddy.
A short while later, Maximilian received a short message and left the ward.
Those medical devices and drugs sent earlier had been delivered for unpacking and testing.
Those medical experts were also arranged in the hospital by Jackson.
Maximilian walked out of the hospital and saw Wilfred, who had been waiting for a long time, and the Rolls Royce Phantom parked on one side of the street.
He was just about to get into the car when a familiar and startling voice sounded off to the side, “Maximilian? What are you doing here?”
Maximilian subconsciously skimmed over and actually saw a puzzled Victoria and was staring at him, Wilfred, and the Rolls Royce at his side with a strange look on her face.
Beside her, there were two of her girlfriends, with the same shocked look on their faces.
Maximilian was startled.
Was his identity about to be discovered by Victoria?
