Chapter 523
The middle-aged man felt even more remorseful and smacked himself hard in the face. âIâm really despicable. I spoke to you so rudely earlier.â
In the Peopleâs Hospital, Hera parked her car in the parking lot and hurriedly got out.
With a bang, the car door hit someone. Heraâs expression changed, and she quickly got out of the car to apologize, âIâm sorry, I didnât
notice you. Are you okay?â
Meanwhile, Lauren chided in an annoyed tone, âHow careless!â
After they all got out of the car, they realized that the person who had been hit by the car door was none other than Duncan, the current head of the Duerson family. He was wearing a white suit and black- framed glasses. He was accompanied by four bodyguards.
âMiss Lewis, itâs not your fault. I was standing too close to the car
door and didnât maintain a safe distance,â Duncan said in a
gentlemanly manner.
Hera did not have a good impression of Duncan. He was one of the
people who had followed Kai previously and targeted Nash. Later on,
he seized control of the Duerson family for his own survival.
âItâs good that youâre fine,â Hera said. She held her motherâs hand as
they walked toward the hospital lobby.
Duncan narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing deep within. them. Melody crossed her arms and tilted her head to give Duncan al
curious look.
Duncan quickly adjusted himself and offered a faint smile.
Melodyâs lips curled slightly before she followed them leisurely.
âBoss, this woman is no ordinary person,â whispered a bodyguard to
Duncan.
Duncanâs lips formed a slight smirk as he replied, âMelody Stone, al Profound Reality Realm expert.â
The bodyguards could not help taking a sharp breath when they heard
that. They then looked at Duncan with eyes full of worship. Nashâs
name was like a towering mountain that weighed upon the five major
business giants and other various factions in Jonford.
Anyone who heard this name would shiver, yet their boss dared to scheme right under his nose. With his courage, they would
undoubtedly have a promising future if they followed him.
Duncan patted the spot where the car door had hit him and smiled. Letâs go and pay a visit to Mr. Kai.â
On the third floor of the hospital, the red light outside the intensive
care unit continued to be lit. It had been over two hours since Kaiâs
car accident. Walter was pacing around anxiously like an ant in a hot
pan.
Upon exiting the elevator, Hera and the group spotted Walter waiting outside the intensive care unit. âShould we go and offer our
consolation?â Harrison asked quietly.
Walter was, after all, the wealthiest man in Jonford. Maintaining a good relationship with him would be advantageous for Baroque.
Lauren gave Harrison a disdainful look and said, âHave you forgotten how his grandson treated our beloved son-in-law?â
If Harrison were to console Walter, he would undoubtedly use the opportunity to ask for Nashâs help. Harrison would have to decide then whether to agree or decline his request with the risk of Nash not being willing to help.
If he agreed and Nash refused, it would be embarrassing. If he declined, then it would mean not giving face to Walter.
âIn that case, letâs go check on Helena first.â
The three of them asked a nurse where ward 7 was, and after
confirming their identities, the nurse led them to Helenaâs ward.
The nurse who had been cut on the neck by Helena earlier was in the
ward, administering a saline drip to her.
Hera looked puzzled as she asked the nurse, âWhatâs happened to
her?â
The nurse explained, âHer boyfriend got into a car accident and lost a lot of blood. He needs a rare blood type, the Rh blood. Our hospital
doesnât have enough of it in stock.
âCoincidentally, this young lady has the same blood type. She forced
me to draw nearly 600cc of blood to save her boyfriend.â
