Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

39. Everyone makes mistakes.

“Pat, I know how you feel about her conduct. Trust me, I am as pissed as you are, and I was the one on the receiving end of it,” I say as I sit across Patrick Wright’s office on the topmost floor of the

Coraline has been stabilized, and her bleeding was effectively ceased. She was not on the brink of danger anymore. A blood transfusion was being done as we speak.

I give Gerald a call and tell him everything, but as I predicted he already knows and is on his way to the hospital. Coraline’s parents have been notified. They had been out of the city on what was a mini-vacation and were racing home. When I talk with them, they beg me to stay and help their daughter until they arrive. This is the second time this month that Coraline landed in a hospital with a threat to her life.

Pat points out, and I nod I’m aware that he is still cross about it. He’s actually a good man, unlike many individuals in the corporate world that I’ve had the misfortune of coming across He was a man with principles and integrity, as well as an excellent moral compass. Some of the legal requirements in his hospital were a bit too much, I agree But in the long run, even I can’t dispute their necessity.

After all, it is a cutthroat world we live in.

“Perhaps this will be a learning opportunity for her,” I reply, “you saw how devastated she was. Maybe she thought that she was doing the right thing on the hospital’s side. You yourself said that she is quite new.”
