T Corporation.
Jason took Gale to the entrance of Luke's office and said, "Bro, the boss is waiting for you inside."
"Thanks. I'll head in to update Boss on what I found." Gale knocked on the door after he thanked Jason.
"Come in." Luke's voice sounded from the other side of the door.
Gale pushed the door and walked in. After he closed the door, he sat directly across from Luke. "Boss, we found something."
"Tell me," Luke said.
Gale handed him a stack of papers. "This is everything I could find on Mandy Sanders. She and Leia met when they were in the
United States. They were no longer in contact after Leia secretly returned to A City. Mandy only came to A City after she
accepted Matysh's job. She reconnected with Leia and has visited Leia in the hospital for three consecutive days."
"Three days?" Luke casually flipped through Mandy's profile. She was just an ordinary woman. He would not pay much attention
to her in normal circumstances.
He only asked Gale to investigate her when he found out that the woman was with Matysh.
"Yes." Gale picked up the phone and handed it to Luke. He came in a hurry, so he did not have the time to print out the photos
that his subordinates sent him. "These are all photos that we took of her. She has been in and out of the VIP floor of the hospital
for the past three days."
Luke handed the file back to him and asked, "Is this woman suspicious?"
"She's suspicious. Based on what we found, she and Leia used to compete with one another, so they were never close.
However, she visited her for three days in a row, so I'm worried that she and Leia are plotting something." Gale expressed his
doubts. His past experience told him that there must be something fishy if those who were not close met every day.
Luke raised his gaze and asked, "How is Leia doing today?"
"Uh, I can't get through to Dr. Park. He's probably busy, so I don't know yet," Gale said. Johann had been updating them on
Leia's condition.
As such, they knew about it the moment she was sent to the emergency room.
"Call him again," Luke said.
Gale responded and called Johann.
Johann answered the phone this time, "What does your boss want to know?"
"Leia's condition." Gale did not even greet him as they were already familiar with each other because of Luke.
"It's stable at the moment," Johann said. "Reassure your boss that I'll try my best to sustain her life until there's a suitable liver
source."
"Thanks, Dr. Park." Gale was on loudspeaker, so Luke could hear every word of their conversation. After he hung up the call, he
waited for the person in front of him to continue talking.
Luke stood up and closed the file that he had read halfway. "Go with me to the hospital."
Gale wailed and said, "Boss, can you let Mr. Doyle accompany you? You know I hate hospitals the most."
"If Mr. Doyle comes with me, are you going to help him with sorting out the documents?" Luke glanced at him. He did not intend
to let him off.
It was ridiculous to him that Gale, a big man, was afraid of going to the hospital.
Gale pouted. He would rather go to the hospital than deal with the documents.
"I'm illiterate, so it's best that we have Mr. Doyle do this kind of thing." He obediently accepted his fate.
An hour later, Luke arrived at the hospital.
Luke notified Johann of their visit and took Gale to the VIP ward floor.
The head nurse stepped forward to greet him when she saw him. "Mr. Crawford, good morning. Dr. Park has informed me about
your arrival. Ms. Norman's ward is on the left at the end."
"Mm." Luke walked straight in.
Gale sniffed the smell of disinfectant in the air and felt as though all the hair on his body was standing on end. He had been on
the Island of Despair since he was a child and had the unfortunate experience of being locked in a disinfectant room. As such,
he absolutely hated spaces that had been sprayed with disinfectants.
The two arrived at Leia's ward. Gale was about to open the door when he heard Johann say, "You're here."
Luke turned around and noticed that Johann held a needle in his hand. He asked, "What are you doing?"
"I knew you were coming, so I prepared for your arrival. I don't want her to see you and get so scared that her blood pressure will
soar. She'll die of a stroke. Give me a minute." Johann went into Leia's ward first.
Leia was lying in bed watching TV. When she saw Johann come in, she rolled her eyes and closed them.
Johann went to the head of the bed and confirmed with her. "What's your name?"
Leia stayed silent.
Johann kicked the nightstand and said, "I'm talking to you. What's your name?"
"Don't you know what my name is?" Leia snapped at him angrily, opened her eyes, and looked into his sly eyes.
"I'm increasing your medication. This is a necessary step," Johann said. Although he had a good reputation in the hospital, he
was still cautious and followed the hospital's procedures.
"Leia Norman," Leia replied sullenly. She frowned when she saw the needle in his hand.
"Leia Norman, that's right." Johann glanced at the sticker on the syringe, then at Leia's medical bracelet. Then, he slowly injected
the medication into her flow control valve.
He went slowly, and the medication went into her bloodstream little by little. However, Leia frowned in pain and said, "What did
you inject me with?"
"It's to stabilize your blood pressure." Johann finished dispensing the medicine in the syringe, then reinserted the infusion bottle.
"My blood pressure is fine now. Why did you give me medication that would stabilize my blood pressure?" Leia was pissed and
looked at the person in front of her with resentment.
She felt as though she was being tortured.
"It's fine now, but it might not be fine later." Johann smiled and held the syringe in his hand. He turned around and said, "Come
in. Her blood pressure should be stable."
Leia was startled. She sat up and looked at the door.
Luke opened the door and walked in.
Leia's eyes widened in horror. She noticed that Gale was behind him, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. "You...
You..."
She recognized Gale and knew that he was Luke's subordinate. He was the one who forced her to get on the plane to New York.
Johann noticed that Leia's raised hand kept shaking, and it affected the dripping of the infusion bag.
Hence, he pressed her hand down. "Relax. He's not here to send you back to New York."
He felt that something was off when the nurse told him earlier that morning that the patient suddenly had high blood pressure.
In the end, Johann asked Queenie about what happened and learned that Leia was emotionally unstable. Her blood pressure
spiked because she found out Luke knew about her return to A City.
As such, he had the injection ready when Luke called to tell him to take care of everything and that he had something to ask
Leia.
Leia's expression was still full of fear. Her hateful eyes swept all over Luke. However, she did not dare to do anything. "This is my
ward. You're not welcomed here. Get out! Get out!"
The nurse was frightened by Leia's reaction. She stood up quickly and wanted to stand in front of Leia. "Dr. Park, who are these
people?"
