“Could you possibly relay a message to Mr. Gucira for me? The collaboration with Riveron Corporation is crucial for the Everhart family. Given the vast array of options available to Guerra Group, there’s no need for it to fixate on Riveron Corporation, is there?”

Lysander was left utterly bewildered. “What’s this about Riveron Corporation?”

Daphne was originally engrossed in her phone. Upon hearing those words, she became somewhat flustered, tossing aside the cutlery she was holding. “Dad, what are you saying? What’s all this about Riveron Corporation and mergers? Moreover, Lysander and Josiah are already divorced. They have no relationship with each other anymore. You know that!”

Rufus sighed. “Of course I know, but… Well, let me just be frank with you. The Everhart family has been in partnership with the Riveron Corporation for over a decade, and our relationship has always been solid. However, this year, Guerra Group unexpectedly extended an offer to Riveron Corporation, and they immediately signed a contract. A project that was about to break ground has now come to a halt due to issues with procuring building materials. As you know, every day on the construction site costs money!”

Lysander furrowed her brows slightly. “Mr. Everhart, I don’t really understand these business matters. Even when we were married, I never interfered with Josiah’s work. And now, we’ve already divorced… I’m afraid I may not be of any help with this.”

“I understand. This matter must put you in a difficult position. However, when you were trapped in a fire, I saw with my own eyes how Mr. Guerra risked his life to save you. There’s no doubt that you hold a special place in his heart. Lysander, I wouldn’t have come to you if I wasn’t out of options.”

Daphine hurriedly exclaimed, “Dad, are you losing your mind? Lysander already said she didn’t understand. Aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for her?”

“Harper, Lysander was married to Josiah for three years. I know you two are close, but have I ever asked. her for a favor? If it weren’t for this emergency, I wouldn’t have swallowed my pride…” Rufus rambled on. roughly explaining the situation.

At last, Lysander had finally understood what was going on.

The Everhart family was in the business of materials, dealing in everything from renovation materials to interior decoration supplies.

Their primary clientele consisted of major construction firms, which included Guerra Group. Guerra Group could be considered the Everhart family’s biggest client.

Riveron Corporation, meanwhile, was a small–scale supplier. The Everhart family would source raw materials from Riveron Corporation, process those materials, and then transform them into various construction materials needed by clients, earning the processing fees in between.

However, Guerra Group suddenly and directly worked with Riveron Corporation. The former had even invested in a factory for the latter. That essentially meant the two were bypassing the Everhart family to work together.

The capital that the Everhart family had initially invested was all borrowed from the bank. If they lost that business deal, they wouldn’t just be unable to repay the principal amount, but the already constructed factory might even be auctioned off by the bank.

there is no other choice.”

“Dad!” Daphne exclaimed, abruptly discarding her cutlery, “If it really comes down to it, just sell the apartment you bought for me and my car, too. Use the money to repay the bank.”

“Silly child, that’s not enough money! Even the interest alone is more than that!”

“Then-“Before Daphne could finish speaking, Rufus‘ phone began to ridg.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Rufus grimaced. “What happened?”

A moment later, he shouted, “What?! Call 911 first. I’ll be there immediately!”

Daphne noticed her father’s pale complexion and knew something was amiss. She quickly asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?

“Your grandmother’s condition has suddenly worsened. We need to rush to the hospital.”

Upon hearing that, Lysander also stood up and said, “Daphne, let me come with you. I did study medicine, after all. There’s a chance I might be able to help.

Daphne paled and was at her wit’s end. “All right, let’s go.”

Lysander told her parents, “You two eat first. I’ll go with them.”

Then, grabbing her coat, she quickly followed the Everhart family out.

When the trio rushed back to the Everhart residence, the ambulance had just arrived.

Delores was wheeled into the ambulance, and Lysander hopped in right after her.

“Dr. Thorne?” said someone.

Lysander glanced over, recognizing the individual speaking. “Dr. Ivan. The patient is an elder of my friend’s family. How are things?”

Ivan nodded. After assessing Dolores‘ condition, he shook his head slightly. “It doesn’t look too promising

Daphne’s eyes were red. “Didn’t the doctor say she was stable before? Why is this happening so suddenly?”

“Last time, her fall led to a fracture and a brain hemorrhage. After the surgery, her condition stabilized. However, her blood vessels are fragile, and there’s always a risk of another brain hemorrhage. Dr. Thorne, you should understand this.”

A sense of heaviness settled in Lysander’s heart.

Daphne studied Lysander’s expression and knew instantly that the situation was indeed grave. She asked anxiously, “What do we do now? Is my grandmother in danger?”

Ivan said, “At this point, I can only make a preliminary diagnosis. We need to get to the hospital for a cranial CT scan to confirm. If the bleeding is too severe, I’m afraid…

As he spoke, he cast a glance at Lysander.

Lysander said “Let’s first take a look at the CT scan

Ivan gave a noi, simply uttering, “Okay”

Upon arriving at the hospital, the emergency room staff quickly coordinated with the CT scan department. The results came out promptly.

The neurosurgeon, who was somewhat acquainted with Lysander, looked at the scans and explained, “There is a substantial amount of bleeding. I’m afraid we might have to perform a craniotomy.”

Squeak!

A piercing sound echoed.

Rufus had nearly lost his footing, almost knocking over the medical stand next to him.

Daphne quickly supported Rufus. “Dad, are you okay?”

Rufus‘ face was ashen. “Doctor, if we proceed with the craniotomy, is there a high probability of success?”

The doctor said. “The patient is quite elderly, and a craniotomy is a major surgery. The risks involved are significantly higher for them than for the average person. However, if we don’t proceed with the operation, the bleeding will continue to increase, leading ultimately to brain death.”

“Then do it!” Daphne gritted her teeth. “Doctor, please perform the surgery on my grandmother as soon as possible. At least with the surgery, there’s a glimmer of hope.”

“Um… The doctor hesitated.

“Is there anything else, doctor? Feel free to say it.”

The neurosurgeon glanced at Lysander with a hint of discomfort. “Our hospital’s Dr. Jenner, who is capable of performing craniotomies, happens to be in Apex City for a conference. Our hospital can’t perform the surgery at this moment!”

I

Lysander said, “I’ll get in touch with First Hospital and see if we can transfer the patient there.”

“Almost all the neurosurgeons from Harborbrook are attending that recent conference. There are only a couple in First Hospital who can perform craniotomies, and they likely went as well.”

Daphne was instantly filled with despair. “What do we do now?”

The doctor spoke with difficulty. “We must transport the patient to Apex City as quickly as possible while coordinating with the hospital there for immediate reception. Upon arrival, she’ll be taken straight into the operating room. Since there’s a neurosurgery conference taking place there, attended by many experts, the chances of a successful operation will likely increase.”

Daphne immediately began to use her phone. “I’ll buy the plane tickets right now!”

“I’m afraid that won’t work.”

“Why?”

“The patient is currently unconscious and needs constant medical supervision, something that regular commercial airlines simply can’t provide.”

Lysander asked straightforwardly, “lust tell me, who we need?”

The doctor replied, “I’m afraid we might need a private jet.”

“Also it needs to be arranged fast. The longer a brain hemorrhage is left untreated, the more perilous the condition becomes. Any delay will only make things worse.”

Lysander didn’t reply.

The doctor sighed. “You all should discuss it amongst yourselves.”
