I am the King

Chapter 9

Vincent smiled and said, "I have a friend who has some influence in M City. I asked him for help, and he has already made arrangements with the hospital's president."

The friend Vincent mentioned was Stanley Field. After the banquet, he contacted Stanley Field to provide a venue for his daughter's surgery.

And Vincent didn't reveal his true identity. He realized that even if he told the truth, Emma wouldn't believe him.

The next morning, Galahad had prepared the convoy and was responsible for escorting Vincent's family to the hospital.

On the road outside, there were ten military Humvees parked, each of which was filled with heavily armed soldiers.

Galahad, dressed in a military uniform, came over and said respectfully, "My Lord, please get in the car!"

"Dad, can we all be like this in the future?" Hope looked at Vincent and asked with an expectant face.

Vincent smiled and said, "Of course, you are my daughter, so you can be so wherever you go."

'As the daughter of the King, Hope, you will be the most honorable little princess in the world.' Vincent looked at Hope in his arms with a firm gaze.

After arriving at the hospital, Vincent called Galahad over and whispered, "You can withdraw the convoy and leave only the necessary personnel for security. Don't scare other people and affect the regular operations of the hospital."

Soon, Hope had already completed the preparations for the surgery.

"Dad, will I come out again?" Hope asked Vincent with wide eyes before being wheeled into the operating room.

Vincent kissed Hope's forehead and smiled, "Of course, you are my baby. Daddy will wait for you to come out and take you to Disneyland."

Upon hearing this, Hope's eyes lit up. "Really? Dad, I've never been to Disneyland before."

Hearing this, Vincent felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Most children of Hope's age lived a life of comfort and security. However, due to his own departure five years ago, Emma and Hope had been living a tough life due to the mistreatment from the Joseph family.

But since Vincent came back, Emma finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"God bless my daughter," Emma prayed.

At that moment, a familiar voice broke Vincent's meditation.

"What are you doing? Don't push the operating table in. This is the most expensive ward in this hospital. Get out of here, I need it!" It was Norman who came forward and stopped Vincent.

Vincent coldly warned, "Get out of the way. It's for my daughter's operation now."

"Ah, look at who it is! It''s Vincent who invited an actor to impersonate Stanley Field last night!" Norman laughed derisively.

"Dad, who is this guy?" Edison asked Vincent, staring at him.

On Clement's birthday, Edison was out of town for something else and did not see Vincent.

Norman chuckled and said, "Son, let me introduce you to the son-in-law of our Joseph family, Vincent, and Emma's husband."

Hearing this, Edison sneered disdainfully and said, "So it's that useless scum who abandoned his wife! What are you doing here, trash?"

"I just say it once again, it's for my daughter's surgery, and you should not disrupt the normal operations of the hospital. Leave now, then no one gets hurt,” Vincent said, his anger evident.

"This is not for poor people like you. A whole bunch of poor wretches! Don't delay my treatment." Norman was adamant.

Vincent retorted, "I have made an appointment for the operating room and ward in advance for my daughter's heart surgery..."

"Why should we care about your daughter's heart surgery? Get out of here. Can't you see that I have a cold and cough? I have to attend Mr. Stanley Field's banquet tonight. Don't waste my time." Norman interrupted Vincent before he finished speaking.

Emma was very annoyed when she heard this. "Uncle Norman, my daughter Hope will die if she doesn't have the surgery. As her elder, don't you care about her life?"

Norman said contemptuously, "Wretched woman, is your daughter's life more important than mine, or the future of the Joseph family?"

Emma was so angry that she burst into tears when she heard this. Vincent hugged her in his arms and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, Emma. Take care of Hope. I'll handle this."

Upon hearing this, Edison spat onto the ground and looked arrogantly at him, saying, "Who do you think you are? A scavenger and vagabond! Your daughter will also be a waste in the future. How dare you steal medical resources from our noble Joseph family?"

"Noble?" Vincent countered, "Do you think just because the Joseph family is rich, your lives are nobler than others?"

Edison shouted, "Of course, the lives of our Joseph family are nobler than vagabonds like you. This hospital is Mr. Stanley Field's property with the city's best medical resources. You are not worthy of enjoying them at all."

Norman was also agitated at this moment, "Get out of here as soon as possible. If you delay the important matter of our Joseph family, I will remove all the organs from your family and sell them to make up for our losses."

"You are so bold to speak to my lord like that!" Galahad finally arrived at this moment, and then he made a knightly salute to Vincent, "My lord, please forgive my mistake."

Upon witnessing this scene, both Norman and Edison burst into laughter.

Then, Norman wiped the tears of laughter and said slowly, "Vincent, are you mentally ill? If you want to perform a play, you should go to Broadway, not here. Tell me, where did you hire this actor to accompany you in this play of 'The King and the Knight'?"

"How dare you be so disrespectful!" Galahad slapped Norman's face.

Norman covered his face and looked at Galahad, arrogantly saying, "Don't think that you are really a general just because you wear this costume. Since you don't leave, I will have you all driven out! Edison, get someone on the phone!"

Edison immediately took out his phone and dialed a number, "What are you doing? Can't you solve the needs of VIP customers? You'd better come here and explain it to me right away, otherwise, I'll make you pay for it at Mr. Field's party."

At this point, Emma saw the seriousness of the situation and was afraid that the Joseph family would really hurt Vincent. She gently tugged on Vincent's shirt and said, "Vincent, let's come back another day. Don't offend the Joseph family. I don't want you to get hurt because of this."

Vincent said, "Emma, have you forgotten what I told the Joseph family last night? Trust me, Hope's surgery today will definitely succeed!”
