Chapter 3320 Allison Hit The Doctor
"Let's keep going!" Tommy said. "I'm determined to stick a strip of paper on Lanie's face today!"
Then, they started another round of chess.
Once again, Lanie won, and this time, Rainie came in last.
She took the initiative to stick a paper strip on her own face.
"Lanie is just too good. Even if we play until tonight, we're never going to beat him..." said Tommy, feeling a little defeated.
"Yeah, Lanie's way too good," Rainie agreed, puffing out her cheeks and blowing upward. However, she was not that competitive, so she still looked cheerful even after losing.
Luke came downstairs and saw Luca and the two kids with paper strips stuck on their faces. He paused for a moment before looking at Lanie, whose face was clean. He quickly understood what was going on.
"Daddy! Come help me. You've got to help me beat Lanie!" Tommy spotted his father and immediately saw him as his savior. He bounced over and tried to pull him to sit down. "Daddy, Lanie is too good. I can't beat him at all."
Luke looked at his youngest son, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Just one round."
"Why only one?" Tommy glanced at the time. It was still early, and it was not close to dinner yet.
Luca asked, "Do you have work to do?"
"No, I need to head back to Crawford Manor later," Luke replied. "My mother... She has caused a bit of trouble in Seoul,"
Luca was surprised. Allison got into trouble in Seoul?
Suddenly, she remembered that Allison was coming back, and it all made sense. She must have gotten into trouble, which was why she was rushing back home.
"Did Old Master Crawford ask you to go back to talk about it?" asked Luca, already sensing that with Allison's difficult personality, the problem would not be easy to solve.
"Yes." Luke nodded helplessly.
Luca let out a sigh, then turned to the kids. "Looks like we'll have to stop playing. Let's all go to Crawford Manor together.*
Tommy, despite his competitive spirit, was a good kid and understood there was probably a serious issue. He nodded, took the paper strips off his face, and started helping clean up the chessboard.
After tidying up, Luca took the kids upstairs to change into fresh clothes, and soon, they were off to Crawford Manor.
In the car, Luke made a few calls while driving.
Luca listened in and pieced together what had happened.
Allison hit someone at the hospital in Seoul. Specifically, the lead surgeon. Now, the hospital was looking to hold her accountable. She wanted to come back to A City, hoping the Crawford family would help her handle the situation.
Luca could not help but secretly let out a sigh.
Luke had gone out of his way to help Allison by providing a lot of money for her medical treatment in Seoul, yet she still managed to cause such a mess.
People said kids were debts to be repaid, but in Allison's case, it felt like the mother was the one making her son pay off her debts.
Luca knew that if this situation was not handled properly, it could have serious consequences. The international impact could leave its effects on T Corporation.
The three kids were quietly whispering in the back after overhearing Luke's phone conversation.
"Grandma actually hit someone? No wonder she's in a rush to come back. What kind of punishment is she going to get?" asked Tommy.
Lanie replied, "If it isn't too serious, she might just have to pay a fine. But if it's really bad, she could go to prison." "Grandma's been to prison before, and she came out looking totally different. Jail's scary," said Tommy. He was young at the time, but he remembered.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
He still had clear memories of how his grandmother used to look. She was elegant and well-dressed. After getting out of prison, however, she changed completely. It left a lasting impression on him because she looked so much scarier now.
Tommy did not fully understand why she changed like that, but he figured it had to be because of prison. The idea of it terrified him.
"Daddy, how many people did Grandma hurt?" asked Lanie.
"Two. A doctor and a nurse, but their injuries aren't too serious. It's something we can handle with money." answered Luke.
He never thought that the reason why Allison wanted to come back was because she had caused trouble at the hospital!
"Well, if money can fix it, that would be a relief," muttered Luca. Allison's health probably could not handle much
stress now.
If she went to prison again, her body would not hold up, and neither would her face.
Plus, it all happened in Seoul.
Allison could not even speak the language. If she ended up in prison there, things would get messy.
Luca rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Luke, with a cold expression on his face, added, "But we'll be letting her off too easily if we fix it with money."
Luca paused for a moment, then shook her head, choosing not to say more.
Money was not an issue for the Crawford family. Allison probably knew that too, which was why she was in a rush to return. The fact that she could leave Seoul meant the doctors were willing to let her go back to settle it.
Otherwise, she would have already been detained.
Lanie, not fully understanding the situation, asked, "Daddy, isn't it illegal in other countries? How could Grandma come back after hurting people?"
The other two kids were also puzzled, looking to their father for answers.
Luke explained, "Even though she hit people, this is a case of 'medical disturbance."
Luca nodded. It was a situation where a patient clashed with medical staff, a classic medical disturbance. Luke continued, "But even in cases of medical disturbance, patients can be detained. The reason the doctor and nurse didn't press charges is that they performed surgeries that aren't allowed by their country's medical regulations.
"In other words, the procedures they're doing are illegal over there. If this got public attention, it wouldn't be good for anyone involved the doctor, the nurse, or the hospital. That's why they all agreed to settle privately, and that's how your grandma got to come home."
Lanie nodded, then asked, "So, why did Grandma attack them? Was it because the surgery didn't work?"
"Yes, she wasn't happy with the results. After multiple procedures, there wasn't much improvement, but the pain kept increasing. When she found out the surgery wasn't even legal there, she lost it and lashed out," Luke explained to the kids. He did not plan on hiding anything from them.
Knowing what kind of person Allison was would only benefit them in the long run.
"Grandma was too impulsive, and it's really such a pity. If she had just looked into it more, she probably would've realized these treatments weren't going to work that well," Lanie said calmly.
Even though Allison had always been loving toward him, Lanie had felt a sense of distance from her ever since he was a child. That was why he had never gotten close to Allison.
It was especially after learning she had hurt their mother, his feelings toward her became even colder. They were family, and she knew how much they longed for their mother's love. Why would Allison hurt her?
Lanie approached the situation with a surprising calmness. It was almost as if he was not a child at all as he analyzed the actions of his own grandmother.
