Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 922
Nita let out a sigh of relief as the taxi departed. She turned to Fade and thanked him.
Fade merely grunted in acknowledgment, not saying a word.
Meanwhile, the news came on the radio in the taxi.
"According to the latest news, Miss Nita, a world-famous singer, will be arriving in Jade City today. Many earnest fans and members of the media are waiting outside the airport to welcome her. We..."
Hearing this Fade could mutter, "So that's why it was so crowded at the airport. There really is a celebrity coming over today!"
Hearing this, Nita suddenly became nervous. She quickly turned to the driver and said, "Sir, can you please change the channel?"
"And here I was, thinking youngsters nowadays liked chasing after stars. You don't seem to like them very much don't you, young miss?" The driver was pleasantly surprised, but he changed the channel anyway.
Nita did not answer, but she feigned laughter, successfully evading the question.
The only thing on Fade's mind was still concern over his wife's health, hence, he quickly gave her a call.
It was Lily who answered the phone. Fade informed her that he had arrived in Jade City and he was going to reach the hotel soon.
Hearing this, Lily was delighted. Fade then asked her about Quin's condition.
The entire journey, Fade stayed on his phone, making one call after another, ignoring Nita completely.
The taxi stopped when they arrived at Earlington Royal Hotel. Fade handed Nita some cash and then got off in a hurry.
Nita was startled as she accepted the money from Fade. Watching him alight from the taxi, she came to her senses and shouted after him, "Thank you."
Fade didn't look back. He merely raised his hand and strode quickly to the entrance of the hotel.
Looking at Fade's figure, Nita couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "This guy really is so weird. He didn't even say a word to me all the way. If my fans find out, they will definitely be jealous." Interrupting her monologue, the driver asked, "Young miss, shall we set off now?"
Nita quickly shut the door and nodded, "Sure, let's head to No.38, Violet Street."
As the taxi resumed its journey, Fade trotted to the entrance of Earlington Royal Hotel, carrying nothing but a simple luggage bag.
The hotel seemed somewhat dilapidated, but it was decorated in a Western- style, giving it a vintage, colonial-era vibe.
In contrast, countless luxury cars were entering the hotel. Almost everyone who came in were well-dressed and well-off people.
Fade didn't pay much heed to it. As he jogged towards the entrance, a security guard in a British uniform stopped Fade and said coldly, "Sir, I'm sorry, but you can't go in."
Fade furrowed his brows and asked, "Why? I have a friend who stays here. I'm here to look for someone."
The security guard gave Fade a quick once-over, pursed his lips and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. Our hotel has a strict dress code and you are not allowed to enter if you're not well dressed."
Fade looked at his outfit. After receiving the call about his wife from Lucas earlier, he rushed over from Dragonville without changing into something more appropriate. In addition, as he had been running around, and his clothes were wrinkled. Compared to the other guests entering and exiting the hotel, Fade can only be described as unsightly.
Fade frowned and scoffed at these so-called rules.
However, at the moment, his wife is in a critical state. Fade did not want to busy himself with the security guards. He straightened his clothes promptly, took out a formal coat from his bag and put it on, and asked the security guard, "Now, can I go in?"
However, the security guard was still reluctant to grant Fade entry. Instead, he shook his head sarcastically and said, "Sir, what stands before you is the prestigious Earlington Royal Hotel, commissioned by the Governor-General of Earlington himself in the 70s when he came to Jade City. The guests who patronized the hotel were officers and noble lords with high social standing. Even in Jade City itself, only a few big tycoons were allowed to set foot on the premises."
"Even today, the guests who can afford to stay at the Earlington Royal Hotel are VIPs. As for commoners, it would be wiser to leave."
Evidently, he was mocking Fade.
Fade was furious and started shouting angrily, "What kind of stuck-up establishment is this! This was clearly a place where colonizers oppressed the local folk! Yet now, as a local yourself, you revere it as a symbol of glory? Shame on you!"
Hearing this, the security guard's expression hardened and he said indifferently, "Sir, if you insist on making a scene, I'm afraid we will have to forcefully evict you from the premises."
Subsequently, the security guard called for reinforcements, and more guards started arriving on the scene carrying batons.
Fade was about to burst into rage.
At the moment, the atmosphere became heavily laden with the smell of alcohol.
As Fade turned his head, he saw a balding, middle-aged, fat man with blond hair. The man staggered his way to the entrance, his clothes scruffy and his face flustered.
Behind him were two people, supporting the middle-aged drunk as they carried two medical kits with them to the entrance of the hotel.
The security guard, who was about to attack Fade, turned to them immediately and welcomed them respectfully. With a smile on his face, he greeted them in English, "Please come in, Dr. Malcom."
The drunk middle-aged foreigner was in a stupor and paid the security guard no heed. Even as he staggered into the hotel, he vomited all over the floor.
However, not only did the security guard not stop him; the guard actually warmed up even more to him with enthusiasm. Despite the puke, the security guard escorted the foreigner with a smile.
Seeing this, Fade burst into anger. He pointed to the fat foreigner and asked the security guard, "What's going on? If he can enter in this condition, why can't I?"
Hearing this, the security guard sneered at him. He gave Fade a once-over and chided, "Don't you understand? Dr. Malcom is from Earlington, he is also a famous surgeon in Jade City. Who do you think you are? How dare you even compare yourself with Dr. Malcom?"
At his word, Fade's expression darkened even further. Gritting his teeth, Fade shouted indignantly, "So what if he is from Earlington?"
"This is Jade City, this is our territory. Why are foreigners allowed to come and go as they wish, but you are making it difficult for our own people!"
The security guard curled his lips disdainfully and said to Fade, "I come from Jade City, I'm not 'your own people', as you put it. Don't think too highly of yourself."
After that, the security guard glared at Fade and threatened him, "I do not wish to entertain you anymore. Leave, or I'll have to make you leave."
