A Perfectly Timed Golden Opportunity
Dominic was anxious. “Please leave! Can’t you see someone is sick here?”
“May I check on your wife?” I carefully asked for his permission. “I believe her condition is quite
serious.”
I
He looked at me with panic, beads of sweat on his forehead.
“I have some experience,” I added quickly. “I might be able to help.”
After all, I’ve dealt with situations like this while caring for Ava these past few years.
Dominic nced at me briefly, perhaps sensing my sincerity. He stepped aside and sighed. “She
seems to
have a fever.”
I quickly felt the woman’s forehead and neck. She was burning hot, beyond a regr fever. “How long
has
this been going on?”
“She’s been running a fever sincest night. She was still lucid this morning, but I…”
“Dominic, I’m afraid we need to get her to the hospital. This won’t do. Do you have a thermometer?” I
asked.
“I–I don’t know where it is!” He was usually absorbed in his studies, leaving household matters to his
wife.
I promptly told Carol, “Quick, call for an ambnce!”
Then I gently called out to Dominic’s wife on the bed. “Ma’am, can you hear me? Can you understand
what I’m saying?”
I turned to Dominic. “Sir, we need to get her to the hospital. She seems to be unconscious.”
Dominic had a panicked look in his eyes. He seemed like a helpless child seeking help. “Miss, w–what
should I do?”
“At the moment, nothing. Let’s wait until we get to the hospital and she’s examined. Don’t worry, I’ll go
with you,” I reassured him.
He nced again at his wife on the bed, a look of helplessness in his eyes. “Thank you.”
The ambnce arrived quickly. We helped Dominic’s wife onto the stretcher, and then we all went to
the
hospital together,
Dominic, in his panic, had forgotten to bring money. I asked Carol to take my card and handle the
payment
After all the examinations, the doctor came out with a severe expression.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
“It’s a good thing you brought her in when you did. Why did her fever get so high beforeing to the
hospital? She has lobar pneumonia with early heart and lung function decline. If you had waited any
longer, it could have been very dangerous. She’ll need to be hospitalized.”
Dominic paled, and Iforted him, “Don’t worry, she’ll be alright. Trust the doctor.”
“Thank you! Thank you, Miss!” He kept thanking me, his hands fidgeting.
As the patient’s condition remained unstable, we stayed
th Dominis until
Dominic’s wife’s fever began to subside, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Dominic ask me who I was and why I hade to see him. I exined the situation
thoroughly and showed him our relevant documents.
Whenever it came to work, he was an exceptionally serious individual. He diligently reviewed all the
materials and then looked at me to confirm the details.
Carol had prepared detailed documents, presenting records of our shipments and purchases to prove
our
usage.
Upon seeing the retested data from ATL Empire, he was so furious that his hands clenched.
“Liars! This data ispletely wrong. They can deceive you, non–professionals, but these results can’t
possiblye from these materials. Which department issued these reports? This is pure
irresponsibility!
Bunch of ipetents!”
I exchanged nces with Carol and recounted the entire situation, leaving nothing out.
He muttered, “Those bastards.”
I replied, “That’s why I’ve reached a dead end and came to seek your help.”
After some contemtion, he looked at the bed where his wifey.
Finally, he said, “Please take care of my wife for me. I’ll redo the data for you. Wait here!”
“Rest assured, I’ll take good care of your wife!” I said quickly. Even Carol couldn’t contain her excited
smile.
Dominic turned and left. It seemed that this man prioritized his career above all else. He was gone for a
total of 15 hours without a trace.
This left Carol on edge, but I reassured her, telling her to trust that Dominic would provide a satisfactory
His stubbornness was evident here. He only epted genuine data, not rhetoric.
Dominic didn’t reappear at the hospital until the following evening. He held a thick stack of documents
in his hands, which he handed me with great solemnity.
“These are thetest verification results. I’d say these are the most authoritative worldwide. If they still
have objections, use this evidence to sue them.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle, as it was exactly what I wanted. I loved a goodwsuit.
