chapter 1379
That evening, a private jet landed in Phoenix City.
It was a rather small place, so even the airport felt a little deserted.
Carla led her people out of the plane and got into the car they prepared beforehand. All three of them got into the car and made their way to Mount Phoenix right away.
As they traveled, Freda turned on her phone and noted that there were a few missed calls. She was about to call back when she suddenly noticed how several black cars were tailing them.
"Ms. Lierger…"
"Yeah, I know, " replied Carla who was keeping her eyes on the rearview mirror. She calmly instructed, "Change of plans. We're not going to Mount Phoenix anymore. Change route now."
She didn't want to drag Hapilia and Sam into the mess.
"Understood."
The ladies' car made a turn and tried to shake off their tail.
"Who the hell are they? It doesn't look like they're from Erihal, " commented Freda curiously.
"Let's figure that out after we've lost them."
Carla had been monitoring her enemies via the rearview mirror. She wanted to apprehend them and figure out who they were as well, but she didn't have many subordinates with her. On top of that, they didn't have any weapons. Things will get ugly if we get into a fight, thought Carla.
They have five cars in total and about twenty men with them, so they are clearly out for blood.
However, they didn't use their weapons on us and are trying to force our car into a corner. That means they want us alive…
As the fight got more intense on Carla's side, Zayn remained unconscious in Southridge.
Brandy rushed over once he heard the news. When he saw how terrible Zayn looked, he punched the wall out of worry and declared, "We can't keep waiting like this. I'll go to Erihal and look for Derelo myself!"
"I was going to do exactly that, " replied Benard, "Derelo has to be in Erihal. I'll work from here and locate him as quickly as possible. After that, I will share his location with you, and you can go straight to him once you land."
"Alright, " agreed Brandy, "Work as quickly as possible, and stop hesitating! Don't worry so much about the future. We have to save him, even if it means he will end up being chased out of the Giblo family."
"I know, " shared Benard in a thick voice, "I was too cowardly to betray him earlier, but the way things are now… We can't afford to worry about anything else."
"Okay, then we'll split up and work from different angles. I'll rush to the airport now."
"Take a few more men with you and keep in touch with me."
The two of them exchanged some more words before Benard took a deep breath to pick himself back up. He entered Zayn's room after that.
Naya pulled up the blanket for Zayn. She turned around and informed Benard, "I want to invite Dr. Solova over to treat Mr. Giblo. She might be able to help."
"Okay, then get in touch with her soon."
Benard was out of options. He would hold on to any shred of hope and possibility.
"I worry that she won't come. She only agreed to drop by the last time because Mr. Giblo called her in person. She might not listen to me…"
Naya hadn't even finished speaking before her phone rang. She checked the screen and blurted in surprise, "It's Ms. Gold."
"Why is she contacting you now?" complained Benard in an annoyed tone.
"She asked for my number this morning and told me to get in touch with her should Mr. Giblo's condition worsen or if we need help, " answered Naya. After that, she picked up the call, "Ms. Gold…"
"Dr. Goman, I tried to call Benard, but no one picked up so I'm calling you instead. I've hired Dr. Solova and asked her to come to treat Mr. Giblo. I also sent a private jet to go pick her up.
"Her plane should land shortly, and I am waiting to pick her up at the airport. Please ask Mr. Giblo if he's free tonight. Perhaps Dr. Solova can drop by his place to treat him?"
"Yes, of course, " replied Naya in an ecstatic tone, "I was just about to ask her to drop by and was worried that she might not agree to fly over. Who would've thought that you'd already gotten her over? This is fantastic news to us."
"I'm glad to hear that. To tell you the truth, I was actually worried that Mr. Giblo might not like how I'm taking the initiative to do things and might call me a busybody, " said Nella, "I'll head over with Dr. Solova later. Is that okay?"
"Of course that's fine. When will the two of you be here? I'll go pick you both up."
Naya was extremely excited. Ellen being there would, no doubt, increase the odds of Zayn surviving.
Even if Dr. Solova can't cure Mr. Giblo completely, she can still stabilize his condition and prevent it from deteriorating.
