Chapter 618 “Cough, cough. Such thick smoke. Open the windows for ventilation quickly!” Joanna said as she coughed and quickly. ordered someone to open the windows to disperse the smoke Darcy frowned and said. “What's going on! Why is there a power outage? It must be intentional. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental Miss Haynes, why don’t we call the police for an investigation!” When Joanna heard this, she said calmly. “Let’s send our folks to investigate the reason behind the fire first” As Joanna spoke, Carson hurried over and reported, “Miss Haynes, the billboard outside caught fire and burned the insulated cotton inside. Someone upstairs must have thrown the cigarette butt on the billboard. As for the power outage, it was caused by the voltage fluctuation just now! It should be a coincidence.” Joanna frowned when she heard this.
These two events seemed coincidental, but they were not pure coincidences. They were intentional.
After all, she was already traumatized by the countless schemes plotted against her time and time again. She would always associate any events with assassination plots.
“From now on, you have to strengthen your security measures. No strangers are allowed to approach! Also, get the hospital director to come over immediately. Joanna instructed.
“Got it” the bodyguards responded before leaving the ward.
Joanna quietly held Bruce's hand again and consoled him, “Bruce, don’t worry. I'll be 120% focused from now on and protect you well. | won't let anyone harm you. You have to work hard and wake up as soon as possible. Since so many people want you dead, you can’t let them have their way. You have to be strong, do you hear me?” Bruce had already been connected to the ventilator again. His eyes were closed, and he did not react. He was still handsome, but there was a four-to-five-inch scar from his left eyebrow to his temple.
If he were not hooked up to a ventilator, everyone would have thought he was sleeping Joanna could not help but gently caress the scar on his eyebrow. There was still an indescribable pain in her heart.
In the past, even though this man mistreated her, she could not bear to be ruthless towards him! He had many faults, but..... he also had a gentle side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had good intentions, but his way of expressing himself was too overbearing for her. His possessiveness and desire for control made her feel constricted when she was with him.
Loving him was as painful as being loved by him.
Soon, the director received a call from the hospital.
Upon hearing about the fire in the hospital, the director exclaimed, “What? There's a fire in the hospital? And there was a blackout? “Yes, the power outage almost killed Mr. Everett. Fortunately, the power was restored in time, and the fire was extinguished.” reported the other party on the other side of the line.
“I understand. I'll rush to the hospital now!” the hospital director said as he hung up the phone. He made his way to the hospital immediately.
The security guards and medical staff on duty were already gathered in the hall on the first floor, waiting for the director's instructions.
The director looked at the medical staff. Many of them were still covered in dirt and burned medical equipment. He was somber and said. “Investigate thoroughly and see what happened. Pull out the surveillance footage immediately!” The head of security responded, “Director, | just asked the security guard in the surveillance room. He said that at 7:30 p.m., someone went over to upgrade the surveillance camera software. He claimed to have been sent by the hospital director. The surveillance footage in the electrical room was not visible.” “What? | didn’t ask anyone to upgrade the surveillance system at all,” the hospital director exclaimed.
“Al? Everyone said in shock when they heard that.
The hospital director's scalp tingled as he asked anxiously, “What does that person look like?* The security guard in the surveillance room stammered, “He was wearing a work cap and mask. He was about 5.5 feet tall and had a medium build. 1-1 didn’t see his appearance clearly...” “Then how was he able to touch the surveillance cameras?” the hospital director questioned.
The security guard was terrified and tried to explain, “He had a note from the director and our hospital's work pass. | assumed he was sent by the director!” The security guard and Kensley worked in the same hospital. However, the hospital was big and had ten floors. Kensley and the security guard held different positions. It was natural for them to not know each other.
“Director, Miss Haynes is furious and wants you to send someone to investigate the incident immediately.” “Got it!” said the hospital director.
The hospital director inmediately went to look for Joanna to apologize.
“Miss Haynes, this matter has serious implications. We should not make a big deal out of it for now and investigate in private to avoid alerting the enemy,” said the hospital director.
“Alright!” Joanna responded.
A doctor said somberly, ‘Director, could it be Mr. Everett's archenemy?” | think so. People from higher socioeconomic status are too complicated. Those assassinations and murders are everywhere, the hospital director responded “But who would do that?” “It must have been Mr. Everett's competitor or enemy, the hospital director concluded.
Joanna frowned when she heard that.
Bruce had a bad temper and was arrogant and conceited. He naturally offended many Given his position, many wanted him dead.
Although this matter did not blow up, it was still reported in the news.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA group of reporters rushed over after catchung wind of the incident.
The hospital director was about to return home after he was done with his work. Seven or eight reporters surrounded him unexpectedly the moment he left the hospital.
“Was there a fire at Greyport Hospital just now? Were there any casualties? Were any patients affected? It seemed like the electricity in the entire building was cut off just now. What's going on? This has never happened before. Was this intentional?” the reporters asked one after another.
The director was overwhelmed and wanted to get into the car quickly. “Oh, the incident is still under investigation. It's not convenient to reveal the exact details for the time being. | can tell everyone that there were no casualties. In the future, we will increase security precautions. Thank you for the concern With that, the director hurriedly got into the car.
Although the danger was averted, the incident kept Joanna and the bodyguards on their toes.
Over the next few days, they became even more careful with the people entering and leaving the hospital.
The number of bodyguards on duty doubled.
Kensley felt even more dejected when he saw this! Although no one traced the incident back to him, it was difficult for him to find another opportunity to kill Bruce.
In the staff dining hall.
While the head nurse was getting her food, she bumped into the distracted Kensley again.
“Doctor Leach, what's wrong? Why do you look so distracted these two days?” Kensley smiled and replied, “My wife is about to give birth. 'm nervous.” The head nurse smiled knowingly and comforted him, “Ah, | understand. After all, you're going to be a new father! By the way, have you booked the delivery ward?” “Oh yes, it’s already booked!” Kensley replied.
The head nurse smiled again and consoled Kensley, “Don’t be nervous. Just take it easy. All new parents go through this” “Yes, thank you!” Kensley replied with a weak smile.
