The Legendary Martin Garvey

Chapter 3

What?

Everyone froze at what Martin had just done.

What was this idiot doing?

The child was clearly in severe pain, and this foolish janitor had just done something that seemed to make it worse?

It was unbelievably reckless!

“You’re truly an idiot!”

Ethan shouted at Martin.

“Get out right now!”

Martin ignored the director’s yelling. Instead, he observed the child’s face for a few moments before stepping toward the door.

But the moment he took a step, the boy’s body suddenly convulsed violently.

His eyes rolled back, showing only the whites.

“Oh my God! What’s happening?”

The doctors standing behind Ethan immediately asked for permission to check on the child.

They hadn’t conducted a proper examination before Martin’s reckless intervention.

If something had gone wrong, they feared it might already be too late for first aid.

At the same time, a young woman in her early twenties hurried down the corridor, wearing a light gray knee-length dress.

“Aunty, where’s Cody?”

Isla Horner’s face was tense after hearing that the little boy had been rushed to the hospital.

She was the daughter of Mr. Horner, the owner of the Horner Foundation—the largest donor to this hospital.

The foundation primarily focused on medical care for children and the elderly.

The moment Isla received the report about a critically ill child, she left her office and came straight to the hospital.

“Ma’am, a young doctor brought him to the ICU. He should be under proper supervision now.”

The middle-aged woman who had carried the child earlier spoke anxiously beside Isla.

When they arrived at the ICU, they saw Cody lying unconscious.

What confused Isla was that none of the doctors were doing anything.

“My God! Why are they just standing there? Don’t they know how to treat a patient?”

She turned to the woman beside her.

“Aunty, what exactly happened? How did it become this critical?”

At that moment, seeing who had arrived, Ethan quickly stepped forward.

“Miss Horner, please forgive us. I don’t want to worry you further, but this is all because of that foolish man.”

He pointed at Martin.

Looking at Cody’s worsening condition, Ethan wasn’t sure whether the doctors could handle the situation in time.

If the worst happened, he wouldn’t know what to say.

With someone as important as Isla present, this wasn’t just about saving a life.

It was about protecting the hospital’s reputation.

He couldn’t allow her to withdraw her foundation’s donations.

And before that could happen, he needed a scapegoat.

Martin wasn’t just a scapegoat.

He was the perfect culprit.

“If he hadn’t acted recklessly, we could’ve handled this. Now the situation is even worse. We’ll do our best, but please try to remain calm.”

“You’re still telling me to stay calm?”

Isla’s irritation surfaced.

“How can I stay calm when your people can’t even treat him properly? I can’t trust you. I’m taking Cody to the capital’s hospital right now.”

She pulled out her phone.

“Send a helicopter to the hospital. We’re going to the capital immediately.”

“We’re very sorry, Miss Horner.”

Ethan bowed his head slightly.

“We’ve done our best.”

He made no attempt to stop her.

Although his face remained serious, inwardly he was grinning.

Good. Since she insists on taking him away, if he dies on the way, it won’t be the hospital’s responsibility. Hahaha. Handling problems is this easy.

Just as everyone agreed to move Cody, Martin frowned.

“Why transfer him to another hospital?” he said calmly. He was the only one whose expression hadn’t changed from the beginning. “The child has already been treated. He’s fine now. He’ll regain consciousness shortly.”

His words enraged everyone in the room.

How dare someone with no medical certification speak like that?

Instead of apologizing, he was becoming even more arrogant?

And sure enough—

As soon as Martin said that, Cody, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened them.

“Cody!” Isla cried out, her gaze fixed on him.

But five seconds later, the boy’s mouth opened wide, his face twisted in silent agony.

Spurt!

A thick, foul-smelling purple liquid gushed from his mouth.

Moments later, he shut his eyes and lost consciousness again.

“Oh my God! This is terrible!”

One of the doctors shook his head after checking the boy’s pulse.

“His heartbeat is extremely weak.”

Turning to Quinn, he said, “I’ll start CPR. Prepare the defibrillator.”

Quinn immediately moved to follow the order.

But before the doctor could place his hands on the child’s chest, Martin stopped him.

“No. Please don’t. His heartbeat is weak, but it’s not dangerous. Your intervention will only make it worse.”

The doctor glared at him.

“You’re just a janitor. How dare you lecture me? What do you know? Get out of here! Don’t interfere!”

Martin shook his head.

“No. If you insist, his heart will stop within two minutes. But if you leave him alone, it will return to normal in three.”

“Rubbish! You think I’d believe you?”

“Didn’t you see that he just expelled the contents of his stomach?” Martin said calmly. “His condition should be stable now. There’s nothing more to worry about.”

“You still dare speak so calmly after what you’ve done to that child?”

Ethan could no longer contain his fury.

“Oh, I see. You just want to escape responsibility, don’t you? If something happens to him, you’ll shift the blame onto the doctors? You’re a heartless bastard. Listen carefully—starting today, you’re fired. And you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison.”

He turned to the nurse.

“Call security. He must take responsibility for what he’s done!”

“Yes, sir.”

Soon, two tall security guards stood outside the ICU.

“You two, take this idiot to the police station,” Ethan ordered. “He’s a murderer.”

“Yes, sir.”

They immediately grabbed Martin by the arms. “Hey, move.”

But as if they were nothing to him, Martin made a small movement—

And both large guards staggered backward.

Quinn froze.

Since when did her “weak” husband possess such agility?

At that moment, Martin’s voice brought her back to her senses.

“Give me three minutes. If the child doesn’t wake up, I’ll turn myself in to the police immediately.”
