The man with red hair didn’t care whether Yvonne agreed as he stepped forward to grab her.He didn’t pull Yvonne onto his motorcycle but to an unoccupied alley not far away.
Soon, Yvonne’s cries could be heard coming from the alley, accompanied by the laughter of the gangsters, who sounded as if they were enjoying a show…
The next day, Danika was woken up by the alarm coming from downstairs.She got out of bed, stood on the balcony, and looked down.
Unfortunately, she was too high up and couldn’t see anything.She deduced that something must have happened.
Danika didn’t think too much about it and turned, walking back to her room.
After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, she went out.
Outside, Eustace seemed to have been waiting for her for some time.
Danika saw him as soon as she opened her door.
“Uh…were you waiting for me?”
Danika couldn’t help but ask, her curiosity piqued.
Eustace nodded and said, “There seems to be an incident downstairs.I’m concerned for your safety, so I’ll drive you to the hospital.”
He didn’t really care about what had happened, but he’d heard a little about it.
Word got around that a woman was sexually assaulted by gangsters.
Eustace was naturally worried for Danika when such a thing happened in their vicinity.
“There’s no need to be so nervous.You know what I’m capable of.”
Danika was helpless, as she felt that she was not that weak.
Eustace didn’t seem to think the same.
“How many times has it been? Have you not learned your lesson yet?”
Danika fell silent, unable to conjure any words to refute him.
He was right; it was time she learned her lesson.
Every time she thought she had the upper hand, she would always face powerful opponents whom she had trouble defeating.
She obediently followed Eustace into the underground parking lot and got into his car.
With that, they made their way to the hospital.
When their car passed the entrance of the alley, Danika could see many people crowding around to have a look She couldn’t help but lament, “That kind of scum should be given the death penalty!”
“Don’t worry.Things won’t end well for those despicable people,” Eustace replied.
Danika stayed silent after that as they drove by.
Though she felt sorry for the girl who suffered such a tragedy, it had nothing to do with her, and she couldn’t help much.
“Didn’t you say you were going to visit Grandpa? When are you going?”
Eustace changed the topic, afraid that Danika would continue to think about what had just happened and be in a bad mood.
Danika thought about it and said, “I think I’ll go tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll inform him,” Eustace said with a laugh.
He was happy that Danika was willing to pay his grandfather a visit.
They arrived at the hospital soon.
Eustace didn’t get out of the car.
After he watched Danika enter the hospital, he started the car again and left.
Danika had just arrived at her office and hadn’t had a chance to do her rounds when someone knocked on her door.She was quite surprised to see Natalia when she opened it.
“Dr.Zellweger,” Natalia said, forcing a smile as she walked in. She didn’t know how to face Danika, but for the sake of her grandfather, she had to swallow her embarrassment.
Danika sat on her chair and watched as Natalia approached her.
“Do you need something, Miss Cruz?” she asked.
Natalia nodded.
“Yes,” she said, taking a seat in front of Danika.
Danika waited for her to speak.
However, Natalia fell silent, seemingly unsure of how to begin.She felt embarrassed, especially because she and Eustace had pretended to be a couple.
“Dr.Zellweger, have you and Eustace gotten back together?” she finally asked.
She had been away for some time, so she assumed Eustace must have explained everything to Danika by then.
Danika frowned upon hearing that. She thought Natalia had come to talk about something important, but she was just there to ask about Eustace.
“Miss Cruz, if you’re only here to talk about this, you can leave.It’s working hours now, so pardon me for not entertaining such a pointless chat,” she said, pointing to the door to signal Natalia that she should leave.
Natalia felt very awkward, but she had to press on.
“I’m sorry, that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I actually came here for something important.”
“Then please get to the point.”
“Okay.” Natalia nodded.
She had a better idea of Danika’s personality by now.
“I actually came to request you to perform surgery on my grandfather in Bardoff City,” she said and handed Danika her grandfather’s medical records.
Danika didn’t reach out to take it from her.
She looked at Natalia, feeling amused and helpless at the same time.
“Miss Cruz, the medical skills of the famous doctors in Bardoff City are no worse than mine. Why bother coming to me?”
“I’ve already consulted them all.They all said that my grandfather’s condition is beyond cure and surgery would be meaningless, but I can’t accept it.”
Natalia couldn’t bear the thought of her grandfather’s passing.
Even if there was only a small glimmer of hope, she was determined to try her best.
Danika looked at Natalia in a new light after hearing her words.She took the medical records and quickly read through them; her expression became unusually serious.
“Miss Cruz, your grandfather’s condition indeed doesn’t require surgery.”
“What…”
Natalia felt incredibly sad.She thought she would finally hear something different from Danika.
Danika smiled as if she could read Natalia’s thoughts and said, “I’m no different from other doctors.You think too highly of me.”
“Is there really no chance at all?”
Natalia wasn’t willing to give up.She thought she saw a hint of a smile in Danika’s eyes and felt like there might be a way.
Danika didn’t say anything and looked at the medical records again, lost in thought.
Seeing her like that, Natalia became even more certain she hadn’t guessed wrong.
“Dr.Zellweger, please save my grandfather.If you can save him, I’m willing to do anything.”
The next moment, Natalia got up from her seat and started to kneel before Danika to beg her.
Danika was taken aback and quickly stood up to stop her.
“Don’t get too excited.I’m just offering you a choice.It’s up to you to decide how you want to proceed.”
To Natalia, Danika was officially her savior by saying those words.
Having a choice was good news to her; it was worrisome if there wasn’t any choice available at all.
“Your grandfather’s condition is indeed very serious, and you know this yourself,” Danika said calmly as she looked at Natalia.
Upon seeing her nod, she continued, “The only way to extend his lifespan would be through surgery.”
Hearing her words, Natalia’s eyes widened in disbelief.Is surgery still possible? The doctors in Bardoff City don’t recommend going for surgery.”
“While surgery is possible, the risk is extremely high.What they said was not entirely wrong.”
Not everyone was willing to take risks, especially when it concerned the head of the Cruz family.No one could bear the responsibility if he were to die by their hands.
“As long as there’s a chance, I won’t give up,” Natalia said firmly without any hesitation.
She couldn’t just sit and watch her grandfather perish.
Seeing Natalia’s determination, Danika could relate to her desire to save her grandfather.
Nevertheless, she still reminded Natalia of the risks.
