In the hospital, a vague sense of unease flooded Kenneth as he watched Natasha being wheeled into the emergency room.

At the sight of the light above the emergency room flickering to life, he strode to the side and phoned the director of the hospital, fearful that something would happen to the woman.

Shortly after, the director of the hospital—Aiden Ackles—came downstairs with a team of experts. After speaking briefly with Kenneth, he entered the operating room.

Kenneth waited in the corridor outside.

Five minutes passed, then ten minutes.

As time ticked by, every single minute was a torment to him.

About twenty minutes later, Aiden stepped out of the operating room. Kenneth immediately went over to him. “How is she doing, Mr. Ackles?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Hamilton. The patient’s life isn’t in any danger. She merely has some minor injuries, fractures, and a concussion. Her internal organs are fine. But since she possibly has a concussion, she needs to rest and recuperate.”

Only after Kenneth heard that diagnosis did his heart that had been lodged in his throat finally settle back in his chest. “Okay, I got it. Thank you, Mr. Ackles. Sorry for having to get you to make a trip down personally.”

“Not at all. Our team is glad to be of assistance anytime, Mr. Hamilton,” Aiden replied.

After all, a large portion of the hospital’s investment came from Kenneth. He was their major financial backer.

A trace of worry manifested in Kenneth’s eyes as he stared at the operating room.

“Don’t worry, for most are minor injuries. Nonetheless, it takes some time to deal with the injuries. She’ll be wheeled out shortly. Would you like to wait in my office, Mr. Hamilton? I’ve got some quality coffee there, so you can have some coffee while you wait,” Aiden offered.

Jolting back to his senses, Kenneth turned to the man and declined, “No, it’s okay. I’ll feel more at ease waiting here. You can go back to your work.”

At that, Aiden nodded. “All right, then. I’ve already given them some instructions, so they’ll do their best to make the arrangements. Contact me anytime if you need anything else. I’m always in the hospital recently.”

Kenneth nodded in acknowledgement.

Only then did Aiden get to his feet and go upstairs.

After he had left, Kenneth walked over to the bench at the side and plopped down, breathing a long sigh of relief.
