There was still no response in the room at this time.Felix was a little suspicious, and he could not help but increase the strength of his hand. He slammed his hand harder on the door and shouted, “Helena, are you there?”There was still no movement in the room.Just then, the door of the room next door opened, and two young women came out. One of them was Caucasian, and the other looked like an Oskian.Felix recognized them. These two women were the attendants whom Olivia had sent here with Helena.So, he spoke up and asked the Oskian girl, “Where is your princess?”The Oskian girl said, “She’s in her room.”“How is that possible?” Felix frowned and said, “I’ve been knocking on the door for a long time now, but there is no response at all. Could it be that she has gone out?”“That should not be the case.” The girl spoke up, “The princess will usually tell us if she wants to go out.”Immediately after that, the Oskian girl also came over and knocked on Helena’s door as she sh
Felix subconsciously said, “It’s okay. I’ll just stay and watch here. I will not cause any delay to the both of you…”The Oskian girl replied offhandedly as she shouted, “We need to take off her clothes to defibrillate her! Aren’t you familiar with the concept that you should not be looking at something that is not consistent with propriety?! Hurry up and go out!”Felix had no choice but to leave the room.At this time, inside the room, one of the girls continued performing chest compressions on Helena whereas the other girl prepared the defibrillator before ripping Helena’s pajamas open as she said, “The defibrillator is ready!”“Okay!” The Oskian girl blurted out, “I will count to three. After three seconds, I will disengage my hands, and you will defibrillate her immediately!”“Okay!”The Oskian girl continued performing compressions on Helena as she shouted, “One, two, three! Defibrillation!”After saying that, she retracted her hands as fast as lightning. The other girl the
Although she had only been unconscious for a few minutes, to Helena, it seemed as though she had spent a century in the dark!So, at the moment when she woke up, she was breathing heavily as if she had already used up all of her oxygen after diving into the bottom of the sea and finally coming up at the very last minute. Immediately afterward, her vision returned, and she gradually recovered all of her other senses.When she saw the two people in front of her, Helena immediately realized that it was her two attendants who had saved her life. They had both received very good first aid training, and the reason why they had come here with her this time was also to ensure her safety. After that, Helena felt another sharp pain in her heart. When she looked down, she saw that the Oskian girl was still holding the syringe with the epinephrine in her hand. Helena was extremely nervous as she asked, “You… You gave me an epinephrine injection?”The Oskian girl replied with a very apolo
The first responders did not expect that there would be two experts here, but at this time, they also did not care to ask them too much about it. They quickly called for a few people to carry Helena onto the stretcher. Felix was flustered, and he felt that there was nothing much that he could do at this time. So, he could only hurry up and call his grandfather, Jeremiah.As soon as the call was connected, Felix hurriedly reported this matter to Jeremiah.When Jeremiah heard about this, he was shocked and stunned for a moment. He was afraid that Helena would die in Oskia at this time. He hurriedly said to Felix, “Tell the first responders to send her to the Wade Group Affiliated Hospital directly. They have the best cardiovascular department in the country! We will rush over there immediately too!”It was only then that Felix recalled that their own hospital was also very authoritative in this aspect. So, he quickly said to the first responders, “Hurry up and send her to the Wade G
When Felix heard this, he was shocked, and he blurted out, “Grandpa, do you want me to send her back to Northern Europe personally? I still have to attend the ancestor worship ceremony!”Jeremiah blurted out, “Something so big has happened. If the Wade family were to just arrange for the doctors to send Helena back, people will definitely have very strong opinions about us on this matter. Moreover, you are the eldest grandson of the Wade family, and you are also Helena’s fiancé. Therefore, you must absolutely represent the Wade family!”“Moreover, since you will be taking the Concorde, you will be able to arrive in Northern Europe in four hours. You can come back immediately after handing her over to the Northern European royal family. You will be able to arrive back home by night time or latest by early morning tomorrow. Your participation in the ancestor worship ceremony will not be disrupted.”As he spoke of this, Jeremiah also urged, “Helena is your fiancée. If you don’t send he
Felix, who was most afraid of being called a heartless man in the future, felt very happy, but he said, “Oh, Helena! That is not what we meant. We simply want to make sure that you will be able to return to your beloved motherland before you die so that you will not be left with any regrets.” Although Felix was saying that, he had already reached his hand into his pocket. He took out his cell phone, turned on the video recording function, and said to Helena, “However, this idea of yours is quite good. I will have to trouble you to explain the situation to everyone in order to avoid people’s misunderstanding about this matter in the future, then.”Helena was not surprised that Felix would do such a thing. So, she faced the camera with much difficulty and said, “Hello, everyone… I’m Helena… I’ve suffered from Tetralogy of Fallot, which is a congenital heart disease ever since I was a child. I’m suffering from a sudden onset of the symptoms now, and it might be difficult for me to get
When Director Zo heard that Felix’s instructions were completely different as compared to Jeremiah’s instructions, he asked, “Eldest Young Master, should I confirm this matter with Lord Wade first?” “No need!” Felix blurted out, “You should hurry up and try to save her life! Make sure that you use all the rescue measures that you can possibly use! If Grandpa is going to blame anyone for this, I will take the blame for it!” When Director Zo heard this, he thought of what Felix had said just now, and he was afraid that if they did not try to resuscitate her, this would only end up as leverage in the other party’s hand. So, he said immediately, “Okay, Eldest Young Master. We will start the resuscitation measures right away!”Helena was staring directly at Felix with her desolate eyes. She wanted to open her mouth to condemn him, but as soon as the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.She knew that Felix was only thinking about making a completely clean cut from her impen
The female doctor was startled. She did not expect that a dying patient would actually have such fast speed and strength.Just as she was still in doubt, she suddenly glanced at the monitor next to her and blurted out loud in shock, “Director! The patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, and blood pressure indicators have all recovered!”As soon as everyone heard this, they all subconsciously looked at the monitor.On the monitor, Helena’s blood pressure had recovered from 45/30 to 120/70 at an extremely fast rate!Her heart rate had jumped directly from less than twenty beats per minute to seventy-two beats per minute!Her blood oxygen index had soared to 95% from less than 60% before this. Director Zo was completely stunned as he stared at the monitor and muttered, “This… This stupid machine is playing tricks on us, right? Is it broken? Check and see if there is anything wrong with the connection between the patient and the machine! This is too surprising!”The doctor went up to
Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl
As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam
Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,
Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min
Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
