Chapter 569

After pausing for a brief moment, he retracted his hand, looked at Lindsey, and said softly, “Don’t be too worried.

She will be okay.

”

Lindsey bit her Lips hard, feeling a sense of unease.

Two hours passed, and then the light in the emergency room turned off, and the door slowly opened.

Lindsey stood up quickly from her seat, rushed to the doctor, and asked anxiously, “How is Xiomara?”

The doctor faced Lindsey and questioned, “Has the patient been taking any medication randomly recently?”

“Take medication randomly?” Lindsey immediately thought of weight-loss drugs she had given to Xiomara.

She opened her mouth, then closed it, uncertain of how to respond.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened with a ding, and a group of reporters emerged.

They hurried straight towards Lindsey.

“Miss Stewart, we’ve heard that you asked an artist from your company to take weight-loss pills.

She’s now in the ICU due to complications from those medications.

Is this true?”

Upon hearing the reporter’s words, the doctor’s demeanor shifted to one of frustration.

“Weight-loss pills have side effects.

They should never be used carelessly!” he said sharply.

Immediately after, a reporter thrust a microphone towards the doctor and inquired about Xiomara’s health.

Maintaining his professionalism, the doctor declined to comment.

“I’m sorry, but the patient’s condition is confidential.

We cannot disclose any details without the consent of either the patient or her family.

”

Standing protectively in front of a confused Lindsey, Sumner addressed the gathering of reporters with authority, “This is a hospital.

Please respect its sanctity and refrain from causing disturbances! Our agency will provide a formal statement regarding this incident.

For now, I need you all to leave.

Otherwise, I will have no choice but to call the police.

”

The reporters had already gleaned their sought-after scoop, so they hurriedly dispersed from the corridor.

“Are you alright, Linds?” Sumner turned his attention towards Lindsey.

Lindsey pinched her fingers and steadied her nerves as she looked at Sumner.

“Thank you, Sumner.

I’m fine.

”

Shortly afterward, the doctor called them to his office.

“So, here’s the situation: the patient overdosed on weight-loss medication, leading to multiple organ failures.

While she’s currently stable, she is still in a coma.

As for now, it’s hard to say when she might regain consciousness,” he explained solemnly.

Hearing this, Lindsey felt dizzy and nearly collapsed but was quickly supported by Sumner.

“How did this happen? That medication couldn’t cause such severe side effects,” she murmured in disbelief.

The doctor was visibly irked by Lindsey’s stubbornness.

“That woman’s life is invaluable! As her employer, you can’t just care about your business interests.

Her health and well-being should be your priority.

Please notify her family to come to the hospital immediately.
