Chapter 239 She Has Some Self-Awareness
When Amelia went to discuss this matter with Frederick, their conversation was not very pleasant. She always thought that if she didn't show weakness, he would never agree.
Amelia asked curiously, "When did he agree?"
Anderson replied calmly, "Yesterday morning."
Amelia paused. 'Isn't that after I have talked to Frederick about it?' she thought.
Seeing that Amelia hadn't responded for a while, Anderson asked, "Dr. Davis, what's wrong?"
Amelia replied, "Nothing. It's good that this matter is settled. I need to hurry up on my end as well."
After ending the call, Amelia went to find Kimberly.
Kimberly, upon learning that General Hospital had already purchased the medical equipment, felt more confident during negotiations with other professors.
While Kimberly communicated with other professors, Amelia went to Maria's ward to visit Maria and talk to her family.
As she reached the door of Maria's ward, she heard laughter from inside.
Amelia knocked and entered, seeing Amber sitting by Maria's bedside, talking to her.
Sandra was sitting nearby with a rare smile.
"Dr. Davis." Seeing Amelia come in, Sandra quickly greeted her.
Amber also looked up at Amelia with a kind smile. She glanced at Amelia and then continued talking to Maria.
Sandra sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two and looked at Amelia with a somewhat awkward smile. She asked Amelia, "Dr. Davis, is there something you need?"
Amelia nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Sandra turned to Maria and said, "Maria, stay with Ms. Roberts for a while. I need to talk to Dr. Davis outside."
Maria nodded sensibly.
Amber smiled. "Go ahead. I'll keep Maria company. Don't worry."
Sandra thanked her repeatedly and then followed Amelia out of the ward.
At the door of the ward, Amelia stopped and explained her intentions. "I hope Maria can go to Kasfee for treatment. The hospital where I work has already purchased the equipment needed for Maria's treatment."
Sandra's eyes lit up but soon dimmed again.
She hesitated to ask, "If we go to Kasfee, will there be a lot of uncertainties?"
Maria's condition had just stabilized, and Sandra was really afraid to take risks.
Amelia also understood Sandra's feelings. After hesitating for a moment, she replied seriously, "You should also know that Maria's condition is only temporarily under control right now, but we aren't sure what will happen next. I can't promise you that Maria will recover. But at least for now, we have a chance."
Sandra fell silent.
When Maria was first admitted to the hospital, she was diagnosed with a rare disease. There were no cases of a cure in the country. Sandra felt hopeless.
As Amelia said, at least now they have a chance.
However, Sandra was still worried. She said, "I want to think about it."
Amelia paused and ultimately respected Sandra's decision. "Alright."
Sandra lowered her head and returned to Maria's ward. Amelia watched her back and sighed lightly. She thought Sandra would agree immediately upon hearing this news.
After all, it was beneficial for Maria's condition, but Amelia didn't expect Sandra to hesitate.
However, as a mother, it was normal for Sandra to worry about uncertainties.
Amelia turned and left the ward, returning to the temporary office.
The atmosphere in the temporary office was quite subtle.
"Dr. Davis, you are really an excellent marketer. With you at the General Hospital, it will never go bankrupt," Jessica Brown said.
Jessica was Mr. Brown's daughter and also the assistant he brought this time.
Jessica was from Tideport City and had always advocated for keeping Maria in Tideport City.
If Maria's condition had been controlled and cured later, everyone would have known that her sickness was cured at the Tideport City Hospital.
But if Maria was taken to the General Hospital in Kasfee, people would only remember that she was cured there, bringing considerable benefits and reputation to the hospital.
The other professors' assistants all kept their heads down, fearing that the conflict between Amelia and Jessica would affect them.
Amelia remained calm, looking at Jessica with composure, not taking her sarcasm to heart at all.
Amelia said calmly, "Dr. Brown, if you can convince the Tideport City Hospital to purchase the medical equipment, it would be best for Maria to stay in Tideport City."
Amelia had not initially planned to have Maria treated in Kasfee, but the Tideport City Hospital was unwilling to purchase the equipment.
The General Hospital was not a charity and couldn't spend a lot of money to send the purchased equipment to the Tideport City Hospital.
Jessica was hit where it hurt by Amelia's words and bit her lip, retorting, "Do you think the Tideport City Hospital can't afford the medical equipment?"
Amelia fell silent, not answering.
The Tideport City Hospital could afford it but was unwilling to purchase such expensive medical equipment for just one patient.
Everyone understood this clearly.
Seeing Amelia's silence, Jessica became furious and yelled, "The General Hospital just wants to use Maria to boost its reputation. Don't act so noble."
A colleague sitting next to Jessica immediately pulled her and persuaded her. "Dr. Brown, it's enough."
Amelia frowned slightly, looking at Jessica with a cool gaze.
Amelia retorted, "Dr. Brown, with such a sharp tongue, you should be able to convince the Tideport City Hospital to purchase the equipment."
Jessica turned embarrassed.
In the treatment team, Mr. Brown held a special status, so Jessica didn't see herself as just an assistant.
Everyone knew Jessica was Mr. Brown's daughter, so they always gave way to her, which elevated her status among the assistants.
Jessica naturally felt that all assistants in the treatment team should listen to her.
However, she didn't expect Amelia to plan behind her back to take Maria to the General Hospital in Kasfee for treatment.
Moreover, when Mr. Brown mentioned it this morning, although reluctantly, he seemed inclined to agree.
This made Jessica feel pressured, and her desire for control grew.
Amelia had always been very quiet in the assistant group, rarely interacting with others privately.
All the other assistants had added Jessica's contact information, but she had never received a friend request from Amelia, which made Jessica somewhat resentful of her.
Learning that Amelia wanted to take Maria to Kasfee for treatment only intensified her resentment.
"I'm not as capable as you," Jessica gritted her teeth and said.
Amelia remained calm and smiled faintly. "At least you have some self-awareness."
