Chapter 1057

After an exhausting seven-hour surgery, Derek was finally wheeled out of the operating room. The sun

was just starting to rise.

Marcus, his face etched with worry and determination, approached the chief surgeon and asked, “How

is he?”

The surgeon, removing his mask, answered, “Mr. Thomas, the surgery went very well. However, the

patient was severely injured. Whether he recovers or not now depends on his fate.”

Marcus’ voice was resolute as he said, “Regardless of anything, we must bring him back.”

The doctor, feeling the weight of Marcus’ determination, took a moment before suggesting, “I

recommend transferring him to a medical facility overseas. The medical expertise there is more

advanced and would likely be more beneficial for his condition. If you agree, I can coordinate with a

foreign hospital right away.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Marcus instructed, “Then make the arrangements at once.”

“Okay, the doctor responded.

Under Marcus’ intense pressure, the arrangements to transfer Derek to a foreign hospital were made

swiftly.

A dedicated vehicle carrying Derek was soon en route to the airport.

Marcus, with Millie at his side, returned to the company.

As Millie entered the design department, she noticed that Nancy was away from her desk.

Other than her and Nancy, the department was empty.

What was Nancy doing at her desk? Millie’s suspicion grew as she pondered the unusual behavior.

“Good morning.” Nancy greeted as she walked past, her demeanor cold.

Millie shook her head, choosing to ignore her. She settled at her own desk, noticing the slightly

disorganized materials.

They had been neatly arranged when she left yesterday. Nancy must have tampered with her

materials.

It dawned on Millie that Nancy must have been trying to gain insight into the jewelry designs for Miss

Fairclough’s wedding. However, Millie frequently took her work home, keeping it out of prying eyes.

Her phone chimed, and she received a message from Grace.

“Millie, I’ll come and wait for you downstairs at your company at noon,” it read.

Grace’s concern touched Millie, and she quickly replied, “Okay, come over. Let’s go eat at the dessert

place downstairs together.”

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Marcus stood surveying the approved documents on his desk. A frown

creased his brow as he dialed an internal. Line.

“Mr. Thomas,” came the immediate response.

“Come up here for a moment.”

Less than a minute later, Trenton Torres appeared in the CEO’s office, standing at attention.
