Chapter 0018

The young soldier snorted and replied, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Just focus on treating Her Ladyship’s throat, and you’ll be handsomely rewarded.”

Zachary nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter another word. His back was already drenched in cold sweat. This morning, these soldiers had imposed a strict lockdown on the hospital without any room for negotiation. Then, he made an immediate call to the Ol‘ Mare Military for clarification.

To Zachary’s shock, the commander–in–chief Steve Gonzales, a battle–hardened general with three golden stars on his shoulder, was tight–lipped. Steve even cautioned Zachary to handle the situation with the utmost care and not to delay the treatment at any cost.

Not only that, but Steve also ordered the best doctors available to be called in. Moreover, the best medical practices were to be applied to ensure the young lady’s throat would be healed.

Suddenly, an anxious and angry shout disrupted Zachary’s thoughts.

“Where’s Doctor Cavill? Where is he?” A middle–aged man in an expensive suit stood at the entrance of the pediatrics department, accompanied by three imposing bodyguards.

Ignoring the soldiers blocking the way, the man repeatedly shouted at the elderly doctor who had been with Zachary earlier. “Doctor Cavill, what’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to treat my son? I won’t see any other doctor; it must be you! Do you think you’re above the Chesire family? If you delay my son’s treatment, I’ll make sure you pay with your life!”

Zachary’s face instantly ashen, and he was about to respond when two soldiers promptly appeared before the man, crossing their arms in front of him intimidatingly.

“Those who dare to disturb the treatment of our Lady will face no mercy!”

Seeing these two burly soldiers, the man from the Chesire family was immediately filled with rage.
