Meanwhile, the emergency room doors were opened.
Kyle Keaton couldn’t care to ponder that inexplicable scene, nor could he think about why his head hurt so much, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"How’s the situation?"
Old Mrs. Keaton rushed to the front, asking, "How’s my husband? Is he dead or alive?"
"Ma’am, don’t worry. We’ve successfully resuscitated the Old Master."
The doctor immediately reassured Old Mrs. Keaton, but then quickly changed his tone: "However, the Old Master’s arteriosclerosis has significantly worsened."
Old Mrs. Keaton’s heart, still unsettled, was once again lifted up.
"What? That’s impossible! He recently had some treatment with Dr. Hale."
"But the current examination results show this situation. Here’s the Old Master’s latest CT scan, it shows..."
The doctor presented a CT image, pointing out several parts while using a lot of technical terms. The general idea was that the situation hadn’t been this severe before, but recently several areas have become blocked.
"If conservative treatment doesn’t improve in a few days, surgery will be necessary."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Old Mrs. Keaton fainted on the spot.
After a flurry of activity from the Keaton Family, the two elders were placed in the same ward.
Old Master Keaton woke up even before Old Mrs. Keaton, and upon learning that it was the shock of his impending surgery that had caused her to faint, he felt deeply guilty.
Thus, he instructed the butler, "Go home and brew the medicine taken from Serenity Clinic that day, and bring it to me."
"Old Master, that young girl looked so young, is her medicine really safe to drink?"
"But don’t you remember, the young girl said at the time that drinking Dr. Hale’s medicine would worsen the illness! Now I’ve ended up in the hospital, isn’t that proof enough?"
"But your health is in such a state now, what if drinking it causes problems?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⁂fire.net
"I don’t think things can get worse than they are now. Besides, we’re already in the hospital, if there really is a problem, we’ll just go into surgery right away."
"But the old lady..."
The butler felt that surely the old lady wouldn’t allow him to drink medicine of unknown origin.
Old Master Keaton directly interrupted him: "Just don’t tell the old lady. Remember, bring it to me secretly!"
The butler ultimately had no choice but to obey Old Master Keaton’s authority, and secretly went home to brew the medicine, then secretly delivered it to Old Master Keaton.
Meanwhile, at The Hale Family—
"Dad, do you happen to have five million? Could you lend it to me for a bit?"
Rhonda Hale asked as she saw Simon Hale heading out to the clinic.
Simon Hale paused, frowned, "Five million? How come you don’t have even that little amount?"
Although the Hale Family’s wealth wasn’t as great as the other three major families in Esteria, their assets were also worth over a billion.
Back when Rhonda Hale wasn’t involved in business, Simon Hale would give her pocket money in the millions.
Now that Rhonda Hale has built up her own career, Simon Hale felt even more that she wouldn’t be short of this five million.
"Recently, my money has been tied up in the stock market, I can’t move it around."
In addition to managing her business, Rhonda Hale’s greater passion was gambling.
Besides trading stocks, she loved playing lottery and card games.
In short, anything related to gambling, she was very fond of. That’s why she wanted to open a casino.
Lately, the stocks she bought have all hit rock bottom.
As a result, her company needed a batch of raw materials today, but she couldn’t come up with the money.
"But my funds have been tight recently too."
Because the newly opened Serenity Clinic next to their clinic was constantly busy, Simon Hale was planning to take over that venue and kick out the clinic’s doctors.
Today, he had already arranged to meet the owner of that venue, and the funds had to be ensured...
