Chapter 278
Jessica didn’t have time to go home; she only called Mrs. Wilder on the way, and Mrs. Wilder's mood was stable, just saying that everything was fine.
“Call all departments to hold a meeting.”
Blake had returned to the crew early in the morning, taking the rescue team with him. Before Chris even got back to the crew, the news about Blake’s support efforts had already trended online.
Hurricane Media definitely wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
After Mandy went back, she started writing the article immediately. In the shortest time, before other media reporters even began interviews, the first draft was already out, and Mandy’s article was basically ready to be used.
Collin also confirmed the safety of Mandy and Jessica, which reassured everyone quite a bit.
Near the end of the workday, Chris finally returned to the office.
Almost two days of continuous high-intensity work had left Chris completely exhausted. He leaned back in his chair speechless, staring blankly at the messages Jessica had sent earlier but never posted.
Francesca knocked and came in.
“That nurse named Natalie Lawson is the niece of the Lawson family from the northern part of the city. She studied clinical medicine, not nursing. She actually holds a doctor’s license,” said Francesca.
They all thought she was a nurse, but thinking again, daughters from affluent families would rarely become nurses. Being a doctor was acceptable, but nurses had to work extremely hard taking care of others, and their families definitely wouldn’t allow that.
Plus, it wasn’t necessary.
It was said Sophie once mentioned wanting to study medicine but gave up immediately when seeing how thick the medical textbooks were. Jessica naturally allowed Sophie to do whatever she wanted.
Girls from families like theirs could study whatever they wanted. Unless it was someone like Jessica who had to study business to prepare to take over the company, others didn’t have to master anything. Even if they didn’t know much, sending them abroad to get a decent degree still guaranteed their status.
“The Lawson family from the northern part of the city?” Chris had never heard of this family.
Francesca said, “The Lawson family from the northern part of the city controls 40% of the hospital system in Impelia. They’ve been doctors for generations. It’s said their ancestors served as royal physicians, kind of like what you see in TV dramas.”
So they were also involved in healthcare.
“I checked Natalie’s records; her grades at medical school were at the bottom of the class. She was sent to the Fourth Infirmary for her internship, and after the internship period ends, she’ll return to her family’s hospital. She won’t be staying at the Fourth Infirmary for long.”
That made sense.
The Lawson family controlled 40% of the hospital system in Impelia. It was normal for them to place their daughters wherever they wanted. Even if an accident happened, they could handle it internally.
There was nothing to worry about.
However, during the meeting just now, Natalie’s gaze kept shifting back and forth over Chris, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The last time someone stared at him like that was Michael.
A man and a woman, but their eyes meant different things. Chris only thought about it for a few seconds before receiving a message from Jessica telling him to go downstairs and that they were going home. He immediately stood up.
“All the patients have been gathered, and Prof. Rane has been sent back. All supporting doctors are resting. Work will resume starting tomorrow afternoon. Especially for Ashley and the other attending doctors—absolutely no operations tomorrow morning. You can go and tell them, then you can get off work too.”
“Okay.”
The car was parked downstairs, and Jessica had already changed clothes.
“Going home?” Chris asked after getting in the car.
Jessica looked down at her phone, replying with both hands, “No, Collin invited us to dinner; Roy is also there. We’ll talk about Luke’s matter—apparently, they’ve found Luke.”
Luke was found, but…
It was indeed related to Marcy.
