The door to the emergency room was pushed open at that moment, and the doctor came out, "It's nothing serious. She bumped her forehead against a pillar. The wound is somewhat large, so a minor surgery to stitch it up is necessary, which will likely leave some scarring. We need to perform the surgery now, so a family member needs to sign the consent form."
Just as Susanna Smith was reaching to take the surgery consent form, Ethan Thompson's voice came from inside the emergency room, "Bring it here, I'll sign it myself; she's no longer a member of my family."
The doctor was stunned for a moment, thinking Ethan Thompson was referring to Jaylene, so he quickly clarified, "Director Thompson, I was handing it to Madam Thompson."
"I'm divorced from Susanna Smith. From now on, she is no longer Madam Thompson and no longer a family member!" Ethan Thompson's voice was indifferent and detached, showing no consideration for Susanna's dignity.
