Victor froze mid-laugh. The color instantly drained from his face as Mr. Gallo stepped out from the shadows into the harsh light of the medical monitors.
The two security guards took one look at Mr. Gallo's dark tattoos and terrifying demeanor and instinctively backed out into the hallway, abandoning Dr. Harrison entirely.
"M-Mr. Gallo?!" Victor stammered, his arrogant posture instantly collapsing into pure panic. "What... what are you doing in a public hospital?"
"I own forty percent of the medical board of this city, Victor," Mr. Gallo said softly, his voice dropping an octave into a lethal register. "And I don't appreciate rats making noise in front of my maid."
Dr. Harrison swallowed hard, his hands shaking so violently that his clipboard clattered onto the floor. "Mr. Gallo... we didn't know this patient was under your protection! The system showed no insurance record—"
"Because she was too proud to ask me for help," Mr. Gallo interrupted coldly, stepping directly into Victor’s personal space until the wealthy executive was forced against the wall.
