The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 328

Lyra stood by, eyes fixed anxiously on Laura Montclair. "Calm down. He'll be here."

"Calm down? Have you seen the time? What's going to happen to my husband?" Laura's voice echoed harshly through the hospital room, desperation cracking her tone.

Lyra clenched her fists, fighting the urge to snap. "If you can't stop screaming at me, maybe you should find yourself another doctor."

Laura shot Lyra a venomous glare.

"Listen carefully. The only reason you're even here is because your father and my husband were once best friends. You should be thanking me for this opportunity."

"Remember Lyra, I could open doors you couldn't even dream of."

On the hospital bed, Rudiyard moaned loudly, gripping his head in agony.

"It feels like my head is splitting open!"

Laura rushed to his side, gently squeezing his hand. "Hang in there, honey. The best doctor is coming. He'll make this right, I promise."

No one could explain Rudiyard's sudden collapse a week earlier or the constant, relentless headaches ever since.

Test after test showed nothing unusual, but his condition worsened by the day.

Rudiyard's voice was weak, strained. "My entire body feels like it's burning, Laura. I can't stand it."

"The doctor will be here soon," Laura assured him, her voice trembling with worry.

Then, whirling around toward Lyra, she shouted, "What's the holdup? Where is this so-called specialist of yours? Get him here now!"

Lyra regretted ever agreeing to this job.

With a weary sigh, she reached for her phone, only to glance up and see Sophia and Alex walking swiftly down the corridor.

"Alex! Thank goodness!" Relief washed over Lyra as she rushed to meet them.

Alex gave her a nod. "Let's check on the patient."

"Follow me," Lyra said briskly, leading them to the room.

Laura spun around impatiently as they entered. "Lyra, where's this doctor of yours?"

Lyra gestured toward Alex. "This is him. This is Alex."
