True Love Waits

Chapter 1096 Catching Napier

Evelyn finished up her work quickly, and zoomed over to the hospital. When she arrived, the doctors were on their rounds. There were more than 10 doctors milling around the VIP ward of the pediatric department. 'Why so many?' Evelyn thought. She checked the ward number again just to make sure. Yes, she had it right, Ward 6 of the pediatric department.

But didn't Gwyn just have a fever? Why were there so many doctors here?

She still wondered if she was in the right ward. But there were too many people inside the room, so she couldn't see the patient clearly. So she pulled out her phone and called Sheffield. "What ward is Gwyn in?" she asked.

"Ward 6. So you're here?"

"Doesn't she just have a fever? What's going on?" Evelyn asked carefully as she held her breath.

"Yeah. They gave her something for the fever and she's on an IV now."

"Okay, I'm at the door. I'll go in after the doctors come out. I don't feel like squeezing in there."

"Sure."

Sheffield ended the call, and faced the doctors with a smile. "Thank you, everyone. Looks like Gwyn's going to be okay. Director Jin, I'll let you get back to work. Thank you for your time."

Director Jin nodded, "Okay. When you get tired of being a CEO and want to be a surgeon again, just tell me. There's always a place for you here!"

"You were the best surgeon, Dr. Tang. Things haven't been the same since you left. Are you coming back?" one of the doctors said.

They hadn't found a suitable replacement for Sheffield yet.

Horace patted Sheffield's shoulder and said, "Let me know when you're free. Drinks are on me." His friend found out only recently that Sheffield was a CEO.

Sheffield put his hand on Horace's shoulder and expressed his gratitude. "Thanks for the compliment. I'm probably not leaving Theo Group anytime soon, but I'll give you a ring when I get some time. Free drinks are hard to pass up!"

"Okay. Looking forward to it!"

"Sounds good!"
