Semua Bab My CEO Wife Panicked After Our Divorce: Bab 701 - Bab 710

The doctors had already done everything they could. Even though Jake had gone there mainly as an undercover agent, he still did his best to save lives—he never joked about matters of life and death.But whether that man would regain consciousness depended entirely on his own physical condition. At least before Jake returned, the patient had still been in the intensive care unit with no sign of waking up. According to the hospital director, if this person didn’t wake up soon, the entire hospital would be in trouble. The director might even resort to extreme measures.There were, in fact, many ways to make a person regain consciousness. Except for patients in a vegetative state—who were basically impossible to wake—those who were in shock, coma, or long-term sleep could sometimes be revived with external assistance. But many of those “assistive methods” were actually against regulations.At least in the Summit Infirmary, they would never use such things.It was only after Jake went t

“No, this was just the first time we found out,” Jake said. “According to Alexander, the Drake Group has been keeping this up for quite a while. Ever since Luthor stopped showing up, everything might have been under Drake’s control. That way he can make money however he wants?”“Good point.” Francesca nodded. “Since the NewStar at the Peace Infirmary is fake, that means all the machines from the Drake Group might be fake too. So what now? The simplest option would be to report it, but... that could alert them too soon, and the outcome might not be great. Maybe we should wait and see?”“At the moment, the only noticeable issue with the NewStar is that brief few-second pause during operation. Patients can easily run into trouble during those few seconds. Aside from that, I haven’t found much difference between the real and fake ones. I’ll go back and take another look—then I’ll write up a report for you.”“Alright,” Chris agreed with Jake’s suggestion.Francesca smiled. “Aren’t you t

This time, they didn’t use their usual private room. Instead, they met in a small room at the very end of the corridor—just a single table and a sofa.When Bradley first saw Charlie there, he was already a bit puzzled. Charlie worked for the Real Estate Bureau—what kind of business or goods could they possibly have to discuss? But considering the current situation, having anyone willing to talk business with him at all was already rare. He wasn’t in a position to be picky.Still, when he looked at Charlie, he could tell the man didn’t seem to be there to discuss any kind of deal.Now that he saw Chris, he finally understood what was really going on.“Mr. Green, if you’ve got business to discuss, you can just talk to me directly. We’ve met before—no need to use Charlie’s name to invite me. What’s this supposed to mean? Last I checked, you’re running the Summit Infirmary now, not doing any other kind of business.”“I may not be in business,” Chris said calmly, “but I think, Mr. Leig

After looking at the phone, Bradley stayed silent for a long time.At last, he lowered his head and said softly, “Weren’t they supposed to be kept safe? Why... why did this happen? How could there be a car accident?”Chris replied, “Since that’s the case, we can have a proper talk now. A car accident isn’t necessarily someone’s doing. In Yelia, it’s quite common to have accidents—I’ve run into them often during business trips there. But still... two young girls living alone in a foreign country, where they don’t know anyone, it isn’t safe. It’d be best to bring them back.”“How could that be possible?” Bradley gave a bitter smile. “My sisters couldn’t even get through to make a phone call after the accident. How could they come back? Besides, with how things are here right now, they’d be in even greater danger if they returned. It’s better for them to stay there—at least if... if we die, they can still live safely.”So that was the mindset he’d been carrying all along.“So that’s

There were still shards of the broken vase scattered across the floor where Jessica had thrown it.Chris stayed silent for a moment, then stood up to clean them. He was afraid Jessica might strain herself now that she was pregnant, and said slowly, “Don’t worry. People like him won’t be jumping around for much longer. Bob has tried every possible way to extend his life, but for us, cutting off his supply of medicine would only take a single word. The reason we’re still letting him live is for the sake of those who are still alive.”Those who had already died could no longer be saved; all they could do was hold things together for the ones still living. When Chris had first heard the news that day, he had been just as shocked—it was hard to imagine such things still happening in a society ruled by law.Jessica asked, “What did Bradley say? He just watched his parents being held hostage by Bob and his sisters stranded abroad, unable to return. If Collin and the others hadn’t been on t
