San Diego Center Hospital.

"What? We've been sued?"

"Dean Carlos, indeed we have."

"Who is suing us?"

"Well..."

A comprehensive hospital like ours, medical disputes are certainly inevitable.

Though, over here in the United States, most of the medical disputes, the hospitals usually win.

Moreover, there are basically no medical disturbances here.

But whenever a medical dispute case arises, it can be quite a headache.

Dean Carlos hasn't been the dean for long.

Now a medical dispute has arisen?

Just as he was planning to ask his subordinates for specific details, the person suing them directly showed up.

"Given the serious errors your hospital made in diagnosing little Tia's condition, my client, Mr. Fulton, has entrusted me to file a lawsuit against your hospital..."

Attorney Oden has quite a bit in his arsenal.

He speaks calmly, yet very irritably.

Dean Carlos was really provoked.

"On what grounds are you saying we made serious errors?!"

This Oden knocking on our door is actually related to Fulton.

After all, Fulton previously had a good relationship with Carlos, they had many exchanges over the drug Oxycodone.

So now he came directly, and naturally, Fulton was present.

"Dr. Carlos, I hope you investigate first! How can the professional level of doctors at your hospital be so low?"

"What are you speaking about, Mr. Fulton? I really can't understand your words."

Fulton's opening was powerful, and Carlos was a bit angry right away.

If they weren't old friends, they might have started arguing.

Though, it felt almost like arguing.

"They delayed my daughter's treatment!"

"How is that possible?"

"Clearly a ruptured aneurysm, yet they couldn't determine it!"

"This..."

"We are now going to retrieve the records!"

"Don't rush, let's talk this through properly."

"What is there to discuss? Can you bring my daughter back?"

Carlos's momentum was already weakened, after all, he had indeed reviewed little Tia's case.

About the situation when this little girl first arrived at the hospital.

San Diego Center Hospital let the Fulton family take the emergency channel.

This approach itself was not problematic.

If you want to be quick, then emergency is the way.

Otherwise, it's a matter of waiting in line.

Actually, even for emergency, the X-ray had to queue.

It was only later when they saw the little girl in serious condition, that they expedited.

Upon the results, arguments began.

Honestly, more tests could have been done at that point.

A CT scan or something.

But again, queues were inevitable.

The point of contention... truly, Carlos didn't anticipate his own doctors.

Could be so foolish!

American doctors are like this, they rarely deal with patients.

Often, they don't respond timely.

Mistakes are, you could say, frequent.

Fortunately, the hospital has all kinds of instruments, and medical technology has improved.

Deaths are relatively infrequent.

But Tia died.

What was the cause of death?

Carlos personally examined the film, he could almost determine.

Most likely, it was a ruptured aneurysm.

Did delaying Fulton's daughter's treatment directly lead to her death?

This needs a considerable amount of determination.

In other words, who is actually responsible, can be contested.

Dean Carlos now is quite skilled in shirking responsibility.

This is the hospital's traditional practice.

But this time, it's a bit different.

Attorney Oden took over the conversation, "Little Tia's passing is truly heartbreaking! The fundamental cause lies in the incompetent doctors! I can't imagine how they couldn't differentiate cancer from an aneurysm, and don't forget what Tia experienced beforehand."

Experienced what?

Carlos thought briefly, sweat instantly poured from his forehead.

Earlier, Tia had been in a car accident!

One cause of an aneurysm is trauma.

Which means if doctors were attentive, they could connect it to the earlier car accident.

Then, Tia's condition should have been diagnosed immediately.

Ruptured aneurysm should prompt immediate surgery.

But because doctors at San Diego Center Hospital failed to act.

It delayed the treatment.

This led to Tia's death!

Above…Carlos being honest, he already acknowledged this in his heart.

It was indeed the center hospital's mistake that led to the end of a young life.

However.

Carlos is now the dean of the center hospital, he can only consider from the hospital's perspective.

"Sorry, this is just your own inference, there's no determination from a specific medical institution.

I can't make any decisions based on your statements..."

This is purely an evasion.

But he can only do so.

Before he finished speaking, Oden interrupted, "Tia has been sent for autopsy, see you in court!"

This momentum…wait, is Oden finally going to court?

Anyway, many cases, this guy didn't even wait for trial before settling them.

Now this one, might really reach trial.

Carlos is really in a tough spot now, he thinks the center hospital is unlikely to win.

But not fighting is certainly out of the question, one way or another he needs a lawyer to handle it.

Honestly, this is all from a guilty conscience.

Thus, Oden and Fulton have accomplished their mission.

They were here to issue a challenge.

So, after issuing the challenge, they left.

And shortly after that…

"Dean Carlos, you don't look so good."

Zhou Mo Sen is here!

Carlos dearly hated the sight of this guy's smile.

...

On the road from San Diego to Descanso.

Sandra's son Joaquin was driving, smoking.

Playing a tune from home in the car, feeling very at ease.

Suddenly, a large off-road pickup appeared behind him.

Honking its horn, evidently wanting to overtake.

This type of car is quite popular in the United States.

Joaquin didn't mind too much but, given his young, fiery nature.

He simply floored it, accelerating directly.

You want to overtake?

Haha! Take a look at what I'm driving!

Joaquin was driving a Ford Mustang, the 5.0T version.

This car is the dream car of the American middle class.

It's a muscle-type sports car, and the reason why it's the dream car of the middle class is because.

With some effort, the middle class can afford it.

Of course, in the low-config version.

The distinct characteristic in the United States is that cars are relatively cheap, at least for now.

But, middle class really finds it hard to afford cars over 50,000 US Dollars.

Because after their income, taxes, and other fixed expenses are paid.

Middle class is basically left with nothing.

So, Joaquin driving this car.

Partly represents his desire to be an American.

Another aspect is to show off.

Unexpectedly, this time he misjudged his opponent.

Though that pickup looked cumbersome, the engine roared like a beast.

Seemingly bursting out with thousands of horsepower.

In a flash, with a rumbling sound!

Joaquin didn't know how it happened, he and his beloved car were flipped multiple times!

"You, you bastard!"

"Sandra's son?"

"Huh? You... please spare me."

Upon hearing Sandra's name, Joaquin realized he was in big trouble.

And the opponent... just got down from the pickup truck, like Terminator T1000.

Now taking off his sunglasses, a murderous expression on his face.

It was Owen...
