Natasha had just completed an extremely challenging surgery—not to mention the mistake she had made because of Natalie's sudden appearance.Fortunately, she had assisted her grandmother in many surgeries at the Sullivan family, so she was experienced and knowledgeable enough to overcome this crisis.Although the surgery had ended successfully, it did not offset Natalie's actions.Therefore, Natalie was the last person Natasha wanted to see at the moment.However, Natalie continued to stick closely to Natasha's heels as if she had no shame at all.Whenever Natasha took a step, Natalie would follow suit.Finally irritated by Natalie's mimicking behavior, Natasha frowned as she turned around. "Do you need something?"Natalie waved her hand, anxiously apologizing with an aggrieved look. "Nothing. It's just that… not only do you know how to make medicine, but you also can save lives—You're amazing, Natasha!"Then, she smiled brightly, with a look of admiration on her face.Natasha
Natalie felt somewhat guilty but wouldn't allow herself to be verbally defeated by Natasha.She retorted, "I just saw Josh go in, so I thought I'd give him and Grandpa Philip some space for a chat.""Space?" Natasha found it amusing.Natalie's reason seemed quite far-fetched to Natasha. Philip's sedative was still in effect, so he hadn't regained consciousness at all, let alone needing any space for a chat.After Natalie said that, she was about to turn around and check on Philip. However, before she could do so, she collided with Joshua, who was striding toward her."Josh…" Seeing Joshua's displeased expression, Natalie appeared flustered. She blinked rapidly in nervousness and stumbled over her words as she tried to speak.Natalie's display of nervousness raised a slight suspicion in Natasha's mind. While it was natural for someone to blink rapidly when flustered, the frequency observed in Natalie seemed exaggerated. Natasha couldn't shake off the suspicion that Natalie might
"What's wrong with Grandpa Philip?" Natalie covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the elderly man on the bed.Joshua heard Natalie's fearful voice and quickly turned back. Ignoring Natasha, he strode toward Natalie."What happened?" he asked. His brow furrowed as he approached.Seeing Joshua approach, Natalie lifted her hand and pointed toward Philip's bed.Joshua looked up and saw Philip lying on the hospital bed. While his complexion seemed normal, his body was shaking violently, sending shivers down one's spine."What's going on?" Joshua's once cheerful face turned completely grim. He felt that Philip's condition was extremely abnormal."I don't know what's going on, either. The moment I got here, Grandpa Philip was like this, and it scared me." Natalie appeared visibly shaken.As she looked at Philip lying there, she noticed his fingers trembling nonstop. Even though the anesthesia's effects had not yet worn off, and Philip had not regained c
Drake trembled as he glanced at Natalie standing nearby. There was a look of seeking confirmation in his eyes.Standing behind Joshua, Natalie blinked and gave him an approving glance.Upon receiving the signal, Drake finally began, "When Mr. Grayson Senior came out, I rushed to check on him. His condition…""Spit it out!" Joshua struggled to contain his emotions."His condition seems fine!" Drake finally continued. "There also doesn't seem to be any abnormalities on the surface. All his vital signs have returned to normal.""On the surface?" Joshua keenly seized upon the crux of the matter."Yes… On the surface…" Drake continued to flinch. "Mr. Grayson Senior's stable condition is likely only superficial. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't occur right after the surgery."He added, "Furthermore, I just checked. Mr. Grayson Senior's current condition is even worse than it was before the surgery…"Joshua's eyes turned icy cold the moment he heard that. He angrily kicked the tra
Natasha was thus pulled along by the two bodyguards through the long corridor, all the way to the end where the operating room was located.As she didn't understand what was happening, she did not attempt to struggle along the way. She pondered over Flynn's words and tried to decipher their meaning.As she approached, she found herself surrounded by a crowd of medical professionals amidst the life support machines' echoing sounds.Taking a couple more steps, she spotted Philip trembling vigorously.Natasha couldn't quite grasp the situation. As far as she knew, Philip had clearly been out of danger.Natasha was confident in her medical skills. She was certain that Philip's condition in the operating room was stable, with all his vital signs returning to normal. Such a scenario was impossible!Seeing the scene before her, Natasha was startled and finally began to struggle.She struggled hard to break free from the two bodyguards' grip. "Let me go. I need to check on Mr. Grayson S
"Huh?" Flynn was a bit bewildered. "Mr. Grayson, are you asking me to release Ms. Sullivan?""Yes." Joshua nodded.Flynn had no choice but to obediently let go of his grip on Natasha and step aside.He knew he had to stay out of the way at this moment to avoid Joshua's wrath from spreading to him. It was the survival instinct he had developed over many years of being around Joshua.Natalie stood aside, sensing that something was off. She couldn't fathom why Joshua had suddenly instructed Flynn to release Natasha. Now that Natasha had done something like this, he couldn't possibly forgive her.Natalie would never permit such a thing to happen!Her eyes turned cold as she questioned, "Natasha, why would you do this to Mr. Grayson Senior? Has he ever mistreated you?"Her voice tinged with confusion. She sounded as if she genuinely couldn't comprehend it.The next moment, Natalie seemed to remember something. She exclaimed, "Are you still upset about what happened at the Grayson fa
As soon as Joshua uttered those heartless words, he received a call from Terry. "Mr. Grayson, I've found Dr. Mike's contact information!"Upon hearing that, Joshua narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Natasha one last time before turning away and leaving. "Send it to me," he said.Flynn, however, didn't catch Joshua's command at all. Pressed against the wall, he tried to minimize his presence, hoping Joshua wouldn't notice him.With no one blocking her path, Natasha hastened to Philip's bedside in a few brisk steps.Philip was surrounded by a bunch of doctors clad in white coats. They stood there, all talking at once as they brainstormed solutions together."What exactly are these symptoms? I've never seen anything like it," one of them remarked."I've never seen anything like this, either, but Mr. Grayson Senior's heart rate is surprisingly normal. What could be the problem?" A doctor frowned as he held a diagnostic device. His expression was solemn."So, what do we do now?" Anothe
Natasha retrieved a penlight from the side and gently parted Philip's eyelids. When she directed the light into Philip's eyes, she distinctly observed his pupils enlarge.Natasha instantly had a bad feeling in her heart. She hastily reached out and applied pressure to Philip's eye sockets, yet he showed no response.She furrowed her brow and proceeded to administer a series of painful stimuli, but Philip remained unresponsive.That was a sign of being in a vegetative state.With that thought in mind, Natasha's heart skipped a beat. To confirm whether Philip was truly in a vegetative state, she almost immediately turned to switch on the machine and intended to conduct an EEG test on Philip.However, as soon as she switched on the machine, she heard a series of footsteps from behind. The next moment, her arm was restrained, and she found herself unable to move.Without bothering to look up, Natasha knew who was restraining her. "Let go of me. Let me finish measuring this final in
