Chapter 343
Beyond the Divorce
A Perfectly Timed Golden Opportunity Dominic was anxious. âPlease leave! Canât you see someone is sick here?â
âMay I check on your wife?â I carefully asked for his permission. âI believe her condition is quite serious.â
I He looked at me with panic, beads of sweat on his forehead.
âI have some experience,â I added quickly. âI might be able to help.â
After all, Iâve dealt with situations like this while caring for Ava these past few years.
Dominic glanced at me briefly, perhaps sensing my sincerity. He stepped aside and sighed. âShe seems to have a fever.â
I quickly felt the womanâs forehead and neck. She was burning hot, beyond a regular fever. âHow long has this been going on?â
âSheâs been running a fever since last night. She was still lucid this morning, but Iâ¦â
âDominic, Iâm afraid we need to get her to the hospital. This wonât do. Do you have a thermometer?â I asked.
âIâI donât know where it is!â He was usually absorbed in his studies, leaving household matters to his wife.
I promptly told Carol, âQuick, call for an ambulance!â
Then I gently called out to Dominicâs wife on the bed. âMaâam, can you hear me? Can you understand what Iâm saying?â
I turned to Dominic. âSir, we need to get her to the hospital. She seems to be unconscious.â
Dominic had a panicked look in his eyes. He seemed like a helpless child seeking help. âMiss, wâwhat should I do?â
âAt the moment, nothing. Letâs wait until we get to the hospital and sheâs examined. Donât worry, Iâll go with you,â I reassured him.
He glanced again at his wife on the bed, a look of helplessness in his eyes. âThank you.â
The ambulance arrived quickly. We helped Dominicâs 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.
âItâs a good thing you brought her in when you did. Why did her fever get so high before coming 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. Sheâll need to be hospitalized.â
Dominic paled, and I comforted him, âDonât worry, sheâll be alright. Trust the doctor.â
âThank you! Thank you, Miss!â He kept thanking me, his hands fidgeting.
As the patientâs condition remained unstable, we stayed th Dominis until late into the night. Finally, Dominicâs wifeâs fever began to subside, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Dominic ask me who I was and why I had come to see him. I explained 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.
âLiars! This data is completely wrong. They can deceive you, nonâprofessionals, but these results canât possibly come from these materials. Which department issued these reports? This is pure irresponsibility!
Bunch of incompetents!â
I exchanged glances with Carol and recounted the entire situation, leaving nothing out.
He muttered, âThose bastards.â
I replied, âThatâs why Iâve reached a dead end and came to seek your help.â
After some contemplation, he looked at the bed where his wife lay.
Finally, he said, âPlease take care of my wife for me. Iâll redo the data for you. Wait here!â
âRest assured, Iâll take good care of your wife!â I said quickly. Even Carol couldnât 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 accepted genuine data, not rhetoric.
Dominic didnât 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.
âThese are the latest verification results. Iâd say these are the most authoritative worldwide. If they still have objections, use this evidence to sue them.â
I couldnât help but chuckle, as it was exactly what I wanted. I loved a good lawsuit.
