Chapter 523

The middle-aged man felt even more remorseful and smacked himself hard in the face. “I’m really despicable. I spoke to you so rudely earlier.”

In the People’s Hospital, Hera parked her car in the parking lot and hurriedly got out.

With a bang, the car door hit someone. Hera’s expression changed, and she quickly got out of the car to apologize, “I’m sorry, I didn’t

notice you. Are you okay?”

Meanwhile, Lauren chided in an annoyed tone, “How careless!”

After they all got out of the car, they realized that the person who had been hit by the car door was none other than Duncan, the current head of the Duerson family. He was wearing a white suit and black- framed glasses. He was accompanied by four bodyguards.

“Miss Lewis, it’s not your fault. I was standing too close to the car

door and didn’t maintain a safe distance,” Duncan said in a

gentlemanly manner.

Hera did not have a good impression of Duncan. He was one of the

people who had followed Kai previously and targeted Nash. Later on,

he seized control of the Duerson family for his own survival.

“It’s good that you’re fine,” Hera said. She held her mother’s hand as

they walked toward the hospital lobby.

Duncan narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing deep within. them. Melody crossed her arms and tilted her head to give Duncan al

curious look.

Duncan quickly adjusted himself and offered a faint smile.

Melody’s lips curled slightly before she followed them leisurely.

“Boss, this woman is no ordinary person,” whispered a bodyguard to

Duncan.

Duncan’s lips formed a slight smirk as he replied, “Melody Stone, al Profound Reality Realm expert.”

The bodyguards could not help taking a sharp breath when they heard

that. They then looked at Duncan with eyes full of worship. Nash’s

name was like a towering mountain that weighed upon the five major

business giants and other various factions in Jonford.

Anyone who heard this name would shiver, yet their boss dared to scheme right under his nose. With his courage, they would

undoubtedly have a promising future if they followed him.

Duncan patted the spot where the car door had hit him and smiled. Let’s go and pay a visit to Mr. Kai.”

On the third floor of the hospital, the red light outside the intensive

care unit continued to be lit. It had been over two hours since Kai’s

car accident. Walter was pacing around anxiously like an ant in a hot

pan.

Upon exiting the elevator, Hera and the group spotted Walter waiting outside the intensive care unit. “Should we go and offer our

consolation?” Harrison asked quietly.

Walter was, after all, the wealthiest man in Jonford. Maintaining a good relationship with him would be advantageous for Baroque.

Lauren gave Harrison a disdainful look and said, “Have you forgotten how his grandson treated our beloved son-in-law?”

If Harrison were to console Walter, he would undoubtedly use the opportunity to ask for Nash’s help. Harrison would have to decide then whether to agree or decline his request with the risk of Nash not being willing to help.

If he agreed and Nash refused, it would be embarrassing. If he declined, then it would mean not giving face to Walter.

“In that case, let’s go check on Helena first.”

The three of them asked a nurse where ward 7 was, and after

confirming their identities, the nurse led them to Helena’s ward.

The nurse who had been cut on the neck by Helena earlier was in the

ward, administering a saline drip to her.

Hera looked puzzled as she asked the nurse, “What’s happened to

her?”

The nurse explained, “Her boyfriend got into a car accident and lost a lot of blood. He needs a rare blood type, the Rh blood. Our hospital

doesn’t have enough of it in stock.

“Coincidentally, this young lady has the same blood type. She forced

me to draw nearly 600cc of blood to save her boyfriend.”
