Chapter 531
Zachary quickly drove to Aiken Hospital with Ember and arrived to find Debbie waiting alone outside the operating room.
However, Zachary had noticed that conditions there were exceedingly crude, and his brow was deeply creased even as
he strode inside.
Even Ember was asking, "Why would they send Mr. Cross here?"
'What are you doing here?" Debbie was actually surprised to see Zachary there.
Zachary said, "Isaac called me."
'I see." Debbie lowered her eyes.
Ember's eyes were locked on her. "You seemed surprised."
Debbie looked up then, but her usual businesslike expression had already returned-she appeared solemn, even a little
lofty as if she stood above others. "I'm sure you have a misunderstanding here, missy."
As Isaac's secretary, she certainly had the disposition to belittle others.
After all, there are so many people who wanted just minutes of his time, but they all had to go through her first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBe that as it may, Ember grew up like a pampered princess and she was not about to suffer Debbie's strut.
"Zachary and Isaac are friends, and I'm Zachary's wife. You should show some respect."
Debbie frowned, but Zachary quickly got annoyed too. "Are you really doing this right now?"
Ember quickly turned silent-she had just won Zachary's affection after so much, and the last thing she wanted was
to upset him.
Debbie held her tongue since she did not want more trouble either.
"Tell me, what happened? How did he get into a traffic accident?" Zachary asked.
'He was on the way to the airport when his car collided with a dump track on Ringer Bridge. This was the closest
hospital, so we rushed him here."
That served as an explanation for why James was taken to this hospital, and Zachary nodded. "Find the driver of the
dump truck. I'll take a look in the OR myself."
Debbie stopped him. "I've already sent our people to find the driver and investigate the accident, but what are you
doing? You could cause a mishap during the surgery if you disturb the doctors."
"I'm a doctor-l know what I'm doing," Zachary said, and ignored her obstruction to look for the administrators,
introducing himself and soon gaining approval to enter the operating room.
The interior of the operating room was actually a whole new world to him.
Not only were the conditions terrible, but the equipment was crude and ancient too.
James was comatose, and while the doctors were trying to save him, Zachary could see that there was a limit to
their ability.
James was going to die if they delayed this further.
He quickly made his resolve-even if now was not the time to move James, delaying it any further would be no
better.
He called Central Hospital's emergency dispatch.
Having worked there before and knowing the many people who worked there, it was not difficult to get an
ambulance to take James to Central Hospital instead.
Outside the operating room, Ember was staring at Debbie.
There was no need for her to hold back since Zachary was not around.
"You knew what would happen before sending Mr. Cross here, didn't you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt takes a woman to know a woman-or a scheming woman, to be precise.
That was why Ember could sense that Debbie had ulterior motives.
Debbie, however, simply ignored Ember while she folded her arms across her chest. "Why the silence? Feeling guilty
because I saw through you?'
Debbie remained silent, but shot her a cold look this time.
Ember was frustrated that she was ignored, too. A pampered daughter of a rich family like her certainly never suffered
such abuse!
People only ever treated her like a princess, and she was naturally left grumpy by Debbie's cold shoulder.
As her face fell, she snorted coolly. "We will all know what you're up to once Mr. Cross wakes up. Don't take everyone for
idiots now."
Debbie turned and left, wanting nothing less to stay away from Ember.
That was when her phone jingled.
She whipped it out from her pocket, unlocked it, and saw that she received a text.
[I know you tried to kill James Cross.]
Debbie's face turned pale right then and she quickly typed a reply.
[Who are you?!]
