Chapter 56 The Nature of Men
When Abigail saw Jeremy walking towards her, she glared at him in anger and said, “As the vice president of the hospital, how dare you refuse to treat patients just to support your nephew? A person like you doesn’t deserve to be a doctor.”
Jeremy sneered and confidently replied, “We have limited. resources. I can’t treat every patient.”
Abigail was so angry she felt an urge to slap him across the face.
Troy and William heard Jeremy’s arrogant words, and their faces were filled with despair and pain, but they were helpless. They felt that in a private hospital like this, the lives of ordinary people meant nothing.
Jeremy smiled with feigned tolerance and kindness, saying in a very “generous” tone, “Ms. Winchester, we don’t have any deep grudges. Won’t you forgive Felix forever just because of a moment of temper?”
NEVE
Abigail sneered, not wanting to engage with him.
She thought, “No wonder everyone thinks I rushed into marriage with Marcus because I had a falling out with Felix. After all, it’s because I was too humble back then. It was me constantly chasing after Felix.”
Jeremy seemed to ignore Abigail’s displeasure and continued

talking, “Felix just made a mistake that every man makes. And he has already promised to marry you. Whatever happened before won’t affect your life after marriage. Why be so petty?”
Jeremy spoke as if Felix’s willingness to marry Abigail was some. great favor.
“I’ve heard about your family. You probably won’t be staying at Winchester Group for long, will you?”
“With your current situation, you won’t find a better match than Felix. He doesn’t mind that you’ve been married before. You…”
Abigail clenched her fists.
“Enough. Your whole family is shameless.”
“Hmm? Who’s speaking?” Abigail turned around and saw William, who had been silent until now, glaring at Jeremy.
As soon as William spoke, the atmosphere became momentarily
tense.
William took a deep breath and continued, “Your nephew was unfaithful before marriage and even threatened lives. He’s utterly shameless. It’s a good thing this young lady didn’t marry him. Otherwise, she would surely regret it later.”
Troy joined in, mocking, “Exactly. She’s young, beautiful, and kind–hearted. Why would she jump into the fire?”
Abigail was stunned, too shocked to say anything.

Jeremy thought, “Wait, these poor people actually dare to look down on my nephew?”
His fists clenched in anger, and he said fiercely, “How dare you speak to me like this? Don’t forget that you’re begging for my mercy right now.”
William took a deep breath and said firmly, “What’s the big deal? We don’t need your hospital for treatment.”
He turned to Abigail and smiled apologetically, saying, “Ms. Winchester, you’ve already done so much for us. We’re just strangers, and you don’t have to suffer for our sake.”
“I don’t believe only they can treat this disease in Claudia. If there’s no other in Claudia who can’t do it, we’ll go to Veridon. It’s no big deal.”
Troy nodded in agreement and turned to push Adela’s wheelchair.
Jeremy’s face turned ashen.
He hadn’t been publicly humiliated like this in a long time.
As the vice president of Reginald Hospital, the largest and best private hospital in Claudia, he was always surrounded by people flattering him. Even powerful and influential individuals had to treat him with respect.
Now, these poor souls were publicly challenging him, and he
