Chapter 334

Carlisle wondered how he had never heard of a remarkable alternative medicine physician, having lived in

Franklin Complex for so long.

Rowan said, “Sawyer Hughes is an informal physician. He doesn’t have a pharmacy or a clinic, but his

prescriptions, combined with his acupuncture therapy, are very effective for post–treatment of intracranial

hemorrhage.”

“Thank you, Dr. Lowe!”

“This stays between us. Don’t spread it around.”

Rowan’s voice was low and serious as he warned Carlisle.

“Absolutely. No one else will know,” Carlisle made a solemn promise.

Even though he knew that stepping into another field came with its challenges, he knew hospitals had

their own rules and politics.

He remembered a documentary from his past life about a doctor who performed ultrasounds but had

crossed a line at the hospital. This led to the doctor being ostracized and having to work in the hallway

for over 900 days.

“So, may I take Heath now?”

Carlisle wanted to get Heath to Sawyer as soon as possible for treatment.

Rowan shook his head.

“Not yet. Heath is still in critical condition. He needs to be monitored for at least three more days. If his vital signs stabilize during that time, he can be moved to a regular room. Only then may you take him.”

Carlisle subtly inquired, “What about the police? Will they allow me to take him?

Rowan smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that. If you choose to discharge Heath against medical advice and sign the paperwork, we will issue the necessary documentation. Given his current condition, the authorities will allow the family to take him home for care.”

Perhaps sensing he might have shared too much information, Rowan took a sip of coffee and continued, Other patients are waiting. You should leave now.”

Carlisle pulled out ten thousand dollars in cash from his pockets and smiled.

“Dr. Lowe, this is a small token of my appreciation.”

Navigating human relations was a skill Carlisle had mastered, Rowan had done a lot for him, and offering a token of gratitude felt appropriate.

“What are you doing?”

Rowan’s expression darkened with displeasure.

“Hospitals have strict policies against bribery. You’re putting me in a difficult position!”

Carlisle looked around and noticed the surveillance cameras, realizing his mistake. He chuckled

awkwardly.

“Sorry, my mistake.”

Rowan waved a dismissive hand.

“Just head out.”

Carlisle left the office.

The surveillance cameras didn’t have audio recording capabilities at that time, so Rowan felt comfortable.

saying that much.

But everything could have been exposed if he had taken Carlisle’s money.

Carlisle still needed to get the money to Rowan, but he’d have to find a more discreet way.

Carlisle left the hospital alongside Owen and Benjamin. Sorrow and anger were reflected in their

bloodshot eyes.

Benjamin gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it. I’m going to find a way to kill those bastards who did this!”

Carlisle glanced at Benjamin and said, “They’re all locked up. Are you planning to go to jail just to kill

them?”

Benjamin then said, “Then I’ll take out Titan!”

Carlisle’s voice turned cold.

“How can I entrust Heath’s business to you if you remain in this state?”

Hearing this, Benjamin froze momentarily before tears welled up in his eyes.

With a trembling voice, he said, “Carlisle, what did you just say? Are you going to entrust me with Heath’s businesses? Does that mean Heath might not wake up?”

Carlisle got into the car and said calmly, “Let’s talk inside.”

Owen and Benjamin followed him into the car.

Once they were all inside, Carlisle explained, “Heath needs a long period of recovery. It’s going to take a while, so someone needs to manage his businesses in the meantime.”

Benjamin’s eyes lit up with hope and excitement.

“So there’s still a chance Heath will wake up?”

“Heath is tough. He’ll pull through this,” Carlisle said with a faint smile. Then his expression turned serious

“But that means you need to step up. Keep a firm grip on Heath’s empire. Jalen will likely make a move on those businesses soon.”

“Got it, Carlisle. I’ll definitely get rid of my bad habits!” Benjamin vowed, patting his chest.

Benjamin had faced troubles without fear when Heath was around, knowing he had Heath’s support.

But now, with Heath needing time to heal, Benjamin realized he had to rely on himself..

Carlisle advised, “Patience is key. If you can’t hold back, you’ll ruin everything. Stay calm and collected when facing problems. That’s the only way to resolve matters.”
