Chapter 220

Josie and Sean stepped forward and asked, “Is everything alright?” They both were worried.

“It’s all fine. Mr. Longley has woken up. Would you guys like to see him?” Delilah looked at Josie.

Josie shook her head and said, “No, Mr. Longley is recovering, so I won’t disturb him. Let’s see if an opportunity arises in the future.”

Her thoughtfulness made Delilah very happy.

‘Bold yet meticulous, courageous without being impulsive, and never seeking credit for her achievements, this young girl is truly the perfect fit for the Reedshaw family!‘ Delilah thought and developed a new perspective about Josie.

“It’s getting late. I’ll take you guys out for a meal,” Delilah said. She glanced at her watch and realized it was already two in the afternoon, and they had not even had lunch yet.

Just as they entered the elevator to go downstairs and prepared to leave the hospital, the reporters stationed downstairs, along with many medical professionals who had followed along, began to grow restless.

“Why does it take so long, and they still haven’t come out? Should we ask?” the young medical doctor wearing glasses, turning to the elderly man beside him, asked.

The elderly man waved his hand and said, “Now is not a good time to go upstairs since the hospital is crowded with acquaintances. It’s still difficult to determine how Mr. Longley is doing. If he’s okay, that would be great;

but if not…”

“Everyone present at today’s event will likely incur the resentment of the Longley family, he thought.

At that time, with so many scholars and professors present, no one had stepped forward to stop that girl from, in her arrogant ignorance, trying to move Lonnard.

“There hasn’t been any news for such a long time; I’m afraid things aren’t looking good. Maybe I should call and ask?” the young man said, starting to get restless.

“Mr. Nelson, don’t worry. At that time, we were downstairs, and by the time we went up, the young girl had already taken action. Given Mr. Longley’s special status, it would not have been appropriate for us to intervene rashly, right?” he continued.

The elderly man picked up the mobile phone and said, “Let me make a call.

The young man did not know what was said over the phone. However, when he saw the teacher’s brows and eyes gradually relax, he could guess what had happened. He hesitantly asked, “Mr. Nelson, is Mr. Longley…”

The elderly man sighed and said, “Stop asking. Let’s go. When we get back, see if you can find out who that girl is

As they drove away, many cars also started their engines…

“So much time has passed. I think there’s little chance he was saved Even Mr. Nelson’s car has already left, so

there’s no need for us to wait any longer.”

“With Mr. Longley’s departure, his position will most likely be assumed by Mr. Nelson. Since Mr. Nelson has already left, there’s indeed no need for us to remain here.

“Let’s leave, everyone. Even if the Longley family suppresses the news for now, the truth will surface. Mr. Longley is gone, and nothing they do will change that!”

As the cars departed one after another, all the waiting reporters erupted with excitement.

“Could it be that something really happened to Mr. Longley?” someone said.

“Don’t be anxious. John’s disguised as a caregiver and gone upstairs. Let’s wait a little longer,” the other responded.

On the other end, seeing the parking lot gradually quiet down, Natalie curved her lips into a gloating smile.

“Mom, Mr. Lawson, I just went over to ask around. They all said Mr. Longley didn’t make it. Mr. Nelson from the National Hospital has already left with his student, and most of the others have left too,” Natalie said.

“Did you hear correctly? Did he really not make it?“Audrey asked, not quite convinced. “This isn’t something to joke about.”

Natalie shook her head and said, “There should be no mistake. Otherwise, why would Mr. Nelson leave at this moment? Isn’t he afraid of offending the Longley family?”

Xander had no notable family background. He came from another region and earned admission to Aloville through competitive exams. Over the years, he steadily rose to the position of Deputy Director at the National Hospital, building his own team and securing a place for himself.

At this moment, he couldn’t afford to offend the Longley family–a century–old medical dynasty with substantial influence and deep roots in Aloville.

‘He would only become the next Director of the National Hospital if Mr. Long were gone,‘ Audrey thought to

herself.
