A Secret
"Yes, " Rogan answered. She pleaded, "Ms. Lierger, can you bring Bugara back, too? He might not be important as Benard, but he's the witness to the fire. I'm afraid the bad guys will harm him."
"Don't worry. I know what to do." Carla bobbed her head. "Go get Hapilia and Sam now. The patients need a doctor."
"Got it." Rogan left to do as told.
Before leaving, Carla arranged for the security of the house and told the bodyguards to put their guards up before leaving with Freda and the others.
When they arrived at the hospital, Naya was already waiting at the back door. She stepped forward to welcome Carla and said anxiously, "They had been urging me since a while ago. I defied their order, for I want to wait until you take them with you."
Freda clenched her jaws. "They are really pushing us hard."
"They want to push Ms. Lierger into a corner, so she'll give in." Naya sighed. "Let's get going. I heard the imposter had sent his men here. We need to leave with Benard and the rest before they arrive."
"All right."
Naya had told the medical staff to bring Alpha, Benard, and Bugara down. They were helped into Carla's vehicle.
Bugara was all right. He was still recovering, but his condition was stable and he was awake. It would be fine for him to recover at home.
However, Benard was still unconscious. After his previous surgery, he was still recuperating. Thus, they had to be careful when handling him.
Naya also updated them about Alpha's condition. "Alpha's surgery was a success, and the problem had been solved. She needs to go to a reliable hospital to recuperate. It's important, so you have to pay extra care to it. Otherwise, it might cause some complications."
"Got it. Thanks, Naya, " Carla thanked her sincerely.
She was grateful that Naya risked everything to help and protect her at this critical moment.
"You're welcome. That's my job." Naya prompted, "You should leave now. Otherwise, I won't be able to justify my action when they arrive."
"All right."
Carla left Kindness Hospital with the three patients. To avoid running into the Giblo family's convoy, she told Freda to take another route.
They kept their fingers crossed throughout the journey, but in the end, they reached Northridge safely.
At the same time, Rogan had brought Hapilia and Sam back. They cleared up the first floor and turned a few rooms into makeshift clinics for the three patients.
Hapilia and Sam looked woefully at the patients. After all, they weren't capable enough to treat them.
Bugara's wound was superficial, but Alpha's illness was beyond their expertise, let alone Benard's condition. They were rendered helpless.
Carla had to order Rogan to get a doctor to treat them at home. After all, it would be dangerous to leave them at other hospitals.
Even though Rogan used her connections and offered a handsome reward, no doctors dared to take up her offer.
When Carla was in distress, Ellen contacted her and offered to move into Northridge to treat Alpha, Benard, and Bugara.
Delighted, Carla thanked her gratefully and went to welcome her personally.
However, Ellen told her, "You don't have to thank me. Someone else had asked for my help."
"Huh?" Carla was surprised. "Who is it?"
"I shall keep it a secret for now." Ellen sighed. "Anyway, if that person hadn't asked for my help, I wouldn't have risked my life to come to you."
The Gold family and the Giblo family had informed the medical industry, so no one dared to take up the job.
Carla was confused. I wonder who asked Ellen to come and help me. He or she must be an influential person.
