Crossroads

Stephanie was choosing a laptop at a digital store. But she received an urgent call before buying one, Stephanie hurried to the airport and took a short flight to Caelorum Central Hospital.

She hadn't contacted the Reed family for a long time. Last Christmas, they didn't even call each other. Everyone had long been accustomed to not having any contact.

But Stephanie felt very heavy when she heard that Gary suddenly became seriously ill.

"How is he?"

It was already 11 o'clock when Stephanie rushed back to Calorium. There were not many people in the inpatient department. When Stephanie arrived at the ward, she saw Samantha talking with the doctor.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When Samantha saw Stephanie coming, her eyes turned red with anxiety. Samantha's weathered hands grabbed Stephanie's arm and asked, "Where is Dominick? Why didn't anyone from the Wellington family come?"

Stephanie really didn't know what to say: Samantha was still as stubborn and snobbish as ever.

"You really divorced him. How could you be so stupid? You lost your child. You didn't ask him for compensation. Now your father is in trouble. What should we do?

Samantha started crying as she spoke. Stephanie usually liked to talk back to her. But she rarely saw Samantha crying. Samantha and Gary came from poor families. Perhaps this made them even more obsessed with power and money Stephanie used to hate their behavior. But now, after going through so much, she felt that it was not easy for them, especially since Samantha was so old People really did grow up and change.

"Grandma, please sit here. I'll talk to the doctor"

Stephanie couldn't pretend to be friendly. She lowered her voice and helped Samantha to sit on a chair nearby. She went into the doctor's office for a detailed discussion

"Your father was on his way to work this morning when his car suddenly crashed into the guardrail Passersby called the police and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He has been saved." The doctor gave Stephanie a brief account of the incident

"My father seems to have always been in good health. I've never heard of him having any illness. Is the accident a human error? Stephanie asked in confusion What happened around her was full of conspiracy, which made her doubt The doctor said, "Whether the car hit the guardrail was a human error or not, we have to wait for the police to give the result. However, it seems that you don't know much about your father's physical condition."

He took the CT scans, the X-rays, and the files for the various tests and handed them to Stephanie. The doctor continued to say, "Your father has a habit of drinking and smoking. He has been stayed up late for a long time. He has cirrhosis of the liver. His lungs are not in good condition. The main reason for his accident this time was myocardial bleeding"

Stephanie was completely stunned.

She really didn't know that Gary was in such pour health.

"So, how is he now?" she asked tremblingly.

"Don't worry too much. He needs to stay in the intensive care unit for two more days for observation. When his condition stabilizes, we will decide how to treat him?

Gary was a well-known entrepreneur in Caelorum. The hospital's directors and senior executives all knew him. They especially sent this doctor to perform the surgery and examination on Gary Mr. Reed is in a very fortunate situation. His cardiovascular system suddenly ruptured and bled. The amount of bleeding was relatively small. He was sent to the hospital in time. However, his blood vessels are weak."

The doctor paused. He looked at Stephanie and reminded her, "Don't provoke him Stephanie nodded stiffly Everyone knew that the richest man in Caelorium, Gary, was born in a low- income family. When he was young, be married the eldest daughter of Chapter 325

the Clark family. The Clark family cultivated him to achieve his current status. At the same time, Gary's private life was also a topic of conversation in the circle. For example, he broke up with his daughter. They had no contact with her for many years.

Stephanie hated Gary very much. She thought. My father cheated on his wife and found a lover. He even brought that woman home. My mother died because of them. He was ungrateful and did not live up to her grandfather's efforts in training him. But now...

Stephanie went to the ward. She saw Gary lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed. He looked haggard Gary was breathing soly. The whole ward was very quiet except for the sound of some instruments beeping Where are Courtney and the others?"

Stephanie suddenly realized that Samantha was taking care of Gary, Courtney was not here.

*Steffi, how is your dad now?"

A woman ran towards them. It was Diana. She seemed to be in a hurry Stephanie was a little surprised to see Diana rushing over in a panic.

Samantha saw Diana coming. She quickly came over. "Diana, you're here. Gary is in trouble. Im so scared. I don't know what to do,"

"How is your father now! What did the doctor say!" Diana asked Stephanie. She was really anxious. She ran so hard that she barely had time to Each her breathi

"The doctor said that his condition is stable now. We need to wait for two more days." Stephanie told the truth, but Samantha was very dissatisfied. "You just don't take Gary to heart. When do we have to wait until?

"He hasn't woken up yet. We don't know when he will wake up. They just look down on us. They think that there is no one left in the Reed family, You should find someone from the Wellington family. If they were here, the doctor would treat us seriously."

Stephanie lowered her head and did not respond. Diana comforted Samantha. "He will be fine. Don't worry too much. We will help you!

"Diana, I kno you have a good heart. After all, we are a family. Steffi listens to you. Tell her that this world is dark and complicated. If anything happens to Gary, I will end myself."

Samantha cried bitterly. Diana comforted her to let the nanny take her back to Reed Villa.

"Steffi, don't blame your grandma for being snobbish. She was afraid of being poor in the past. She is afraid of being looked down upon.

After Diana asked the doctor about the condition, she felt much more at ease. They sat outside the ward and chatted. It seemed that Diana was worried that Stephanie might have a bad relationship with the Reed family.

Stephanie looked at Diana. She said stiffly. "I know"

Le Diana very much, Diana did have a good temper.

The Reed family didn't have a very good relationship with Madison. But Samantha used to like She was kind-hearted and always considered other.

It was already early in the morning. It was freezing in the hospital. Diana asked the nurse for some cotton Ver swabs and a glass of water. She wet a cotton swab and carefully applied it on Cary's dry lips with gentle movements.

Diana said, "Steffi, it's already very late. Go find a hotel nearby to rest. I'll just stay here tonight."

Stephanie felt that she should stay. She said, "Diana, you go and have a rest. I'll watch over here."

"Can you take care of people?" Diana laughed and teased.

"Where is Courtney! Why isn't she here to take care of her husband?" Stephanie asked.

Her was gloomy. Stephanie thought, Courtney is the one who should take care of him!

"Your grandma said she was busy with work. Never mind. The most important thing now is to look after your father."

Diana was also very angry. But considering the overall situation, she calmly said,

"You don't have to go to the Wellington family. If your condition really gets worse, I will ask Mr. Wellington for help."

'Diana, you seem to be very familiar with Mr. Wellington Stephanie asked without thinking Diana looked a little embarrassed. She changed the subject and said, "Go find a hotel to rest.

Stephanse e didn't ask any more questions.

father's

She thought, "Diana was very determined to stay y and take care of my father. I am really not the type to Ve take care of others! Stephanie booked a your in a nearby hotel to rest. She would come to the hospital in the morning.

11:24 AM Chapter 323

Stephanie randomly found a hotel. But she couldn't sleep either.

Stephanie had a bad relationship with the Reed family. She had never thought that Gary, who had always been strong and domineering, would fall ill. She recalled many things in the past, such as Courtney, the Wellington family, and Dominick.
