Of course Gordon could sense their guarded expressions, but he remained open and direct.

“Actually, we came today to ask you and your wife about a certain doctor. On the 18th, my father was in critical condition here at the hospital. He was barely hanging on, and if it hadn’t been for that doctor, he wouldn’t have made it. We only want to express our gratitude for saving his life–nothing more, I assure you.”

Appliepie’s parents immediately realized who he was referring to, but after exchanging a quick glance, they chose to remain silent.

Appliepie’s mother forced a faint smile. “Mr. Gordon, we understand how you feel, but we really don’t know the doctor you’re talking about.”

The teenage boy next to Gordon lost his patience and spoke up. “We checked the surveillance footage. That person came here specifically to see you two. Who are you trying to fool?”

Appliepie’s father’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. He stiffened his tone. “Young man, watch your words. Lots of kind people visit us every day. We don’t even know many of their names. We honestly can’t help you.”

Gordon shot the boy a sharp glare. “Keep your mouth shut!”

After scolding him, Gordon turned back to the couple with a sincere expression.

“I know it’s abrupt to come asking like this, and it may seem rude, but my father still needs that doctor’s help. The Kent family always repays kindness–especially one that saves a life. We just want to thank her in person, and also ask if she might be willing to help him again.”

As he spoke, Gordon pulled a check from his pocket and placed it gently on the table.

“This is just a small token of appreciation. If we can find the doctor, the Kent family will make sure she’s properly rewarded.”

Appliepie’s mother didn’t even glance at the check. She pointed toward the door.

“We don’t want your money. Rather than waste time here, you’d better look elsewhere.”

Seeing their firm stance, Cordon could only give up–for now. But he didn’t take the check

back.

Appliepie’s mother chased after him with the check in hand. “We’re not taking this. Take it

back.”

Gordon refused, so she threw the check on the ground and quickly shut the door.

Only after she heard their footsteps fade did she finally let out a long, heavy breath.

The couple looked miserably at the gift boxes on the table.

“What do we do with all this stuff?”

Appliepie’s mother looked uneasy. “Did we just cause trouble for Dr. Gray?”

They completed the discharge paperwork that same day and left the hospital.

By the time the hospital director got word and rushed back, it was already too late. He assumed the Kent family had driven the doctor away and immediately called Gordon to scold him.
