    Frank was already waiting at the entrance of Zamri Hospital by the time Helen and Gina arrived.


    Seeing them, Frank nodded and did not waste his breath exining. "Come with me."


    Gina remained skeptical despite his confident expression and asked as she followed, "Are you sure Fleur would sign over her shares to Helen? We''ve talked about it on the way here, but we had to agree Fleur wants Helen gone at all costs. Why would she give up anything to Helen?"


    "That''s right, Frank. It''s just..." Helen trailed off, eventually sighing after holding her breath for a while. "Unthinkable."


    "It''s fine."


    Frank grinned as he produced two bottles of pills from his pocket, waving it at them. "Right now, Fleur needs these two bottles of pills just to stay alive. She would definitely cave."


    Helen gaped. "You''re using those pills... to ckmail her?"


    "Why''d you have to word it so harshly?"


    Frank chuckled. "No, she''s going to buy these pills from me... Although it''s entirely up to me to decide what I''m charging her."


    Both Helen and Gina were certainly assured at that point. Still, Gina was also very curious as to what pill would drive Fleur to such desperation, that she would abandon her Lanecorp shares just to get them.


    As Frank was very familiar with theyout inside Zamri Hospital, he led Helen and Gina inside, and they were soon outside Fleur''s ICU ward.


    One of the two nurses inside immediately frowned when she saw them. "Good afternoon, but this is the ICU. If you''re not family—"


    "Shush."


    The other nurse, who was a little older, stopped her and whispered, "Are you crazy? Don''t you recognize him?" "Huh?"


    It was at her colleague''s prompt that the younger Rurses flushed in

    right the "I-I''m sorry. I didn''t recognize you immediately, Professor Lawrence... I was busy helping the patient take her medicine..."


    Gina was left spacing out by how much respect the nurses were showing Frank.


    Seeing that, Frank smiled. "You don''t have to be so shocked, Mom. Frank''s sister is the hospital chief here." "What?! But isn''t this the best hospital in Zamri...?"


    While Gina was left stunned, Frank opened the door and strode inside Fleur''s ward.


    It was not his first time meeting Fleur either, but he was still stunned by the sight of her bedridden self now.


    That certainly applied to Helen and Gina, both of whom were gaping and almost unable to recognize Fleur.


    After all, the woman on the bed had an ashen-face, her body seemingly drying up as she appeared barely alive.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

    Nheless, while Fleur was motionless a second ago, the sight of Frank, Helen, and Gina entering left her heaving, but she was so frail it only looked like impotent deathbed tantrum.


    Helen could not help walking closer to ask, "Are you alright, Madam Lang?"


    "Out... Out..." Fleur wheezed, her lifeless eyes somehow conveying her spite.
