chapter 1383
"There's no need for that, " replied Ellen, who didn't really want to get too deeply involved in the drama. She said, "There's basically nothing else I can do now, so I'll just go to the hotel. Ms. Gold has already gotten a room for me. You can still call me whenever you need to, though."
"That's a great idea, too. I'll have the chauffeur take you to your hotel, " said Naya before she asked two subordinates to drive Ellen to the hotel. Before Ellen left, Naya requested, "Please rest up tonight. If possible, will you drop by my hospital tomorrow to check up on another patient?"
"Are you referring to the patient in the persistent vegetative state?" asked Ellen who had always been straightforward, "Mr. Giblo called me some time ago to tell me about the patient. Who would've thought that he'd end up being worse off than the patient he was worried about?"
"I guess the future is always unpredictable, " sighed Naya, "Oh, by the way, please keep Mr. Giblo's medical condition a secret. You must never tell anyone about it, or the consequences will be dire."
"Don't worry, I know how things are, " said Ellen with a straight face on, "If this secret is ever exposed, my career will be over, and I will be in grave danger as well."
"Please be aware that you can't even let Ms. Gold know about this, " reminded Benard, "No one else but you should know anything about Mr. Giblo's condition."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I won't want to get myself in trouble, either, " replied Ellen while nodding.
Naya cleared her throat a little before suggesting, "Let me walk you out."
"Okay, " murmured Ellen. She was quick to walk down the stairs and was eager to leave.
"To ensure your safety, I will send two bodyguards over to you, " promised Benard as he gestured for two bodyguards to follow along.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Ellen knew that her safety was just the bodyguards' secondary mission. Their main objective was to keep an eye on her and make sure that she wouldn't blab.
Still, Ellen dealt with major issues all the time, so she didn't mind minor inconveniences like that.
"Thank you for everything you're doing, " said Benard before he bowed to her and turned around to walk up the stairs.
Naya walked Ellen to the car and asked the subordinates to be nice to Ellen before returning to the Giblo residence.
The former was walking up the stairs when she heard a melodious voice, "Dr. Goman!"
Naya shifted her gaze over and blurted in surprise, "Ms. Gold, you're still up?"
"I've been waiting for updates about Mr. Giblo's condition. How is he? Is he up?" asked Nella as she walked out of her room.
"Not yet, " answered Naya softly, "He'll probably wake up in the morning. Dr. Solova's treatment had stabilized his condition, though, so there is no need to be worried."
"That's good to know. Can I go see how he's doing?" asked Nella after she sighed a breath of relief.
"Sorry, but before Dr. Solova left, she repeatedly reminded us not to disturb him, " replied Naya to reject Nella's request then suggested, "Please rest for now. I'll have someone update you once Mr. Giblo
wakes up."
"Okay, " replied Nella. She seemed a little disappointed and had turned to look at Zayn's room. Four subordinates were stationed right outside, and everyone looked grim. It seems the situation is still grave.
"Benard is guarding over Mr. Giblo in the room, " shared Naya, "I just walked Dr. Solova out and am heading back in to monitor Mr. Giblo as well. Don't worry. He'll be fine."
"Okay, " murmured Nella while nodding, "Then I'll go sleep now. Please do inform me when he wakes up."
"Okay."
Naya watched Nella leave before she entered Zayn's room herself.
Benard had dismissed everyone else and was standing guard beside Zayn's bed.
Naya suggested softly, "Take a nap. I'll take over and stay guard."
"I can't sleep, " said Benard. He had been so busy that he didn't have the time to even sip some water. Hence, his voice had turned raspy. He added, "Dr. Solova claimed that the surgery will only buy us one month. That means we have to find Derelo within that time frame or…"
"We have to count on Ms. Lierger now, " murmured Naya, "She is the only one who can find Derelo."
