Chapter 377
Ernest left Jayrodale General Hospital with his two personal bodyguards, looking relieved. “Phew, that brat really had me worried for nothing—I almost fell for his trick!”
Ernest had just completed a comprehensive checkup at Jayrodale General Hospital. While there were some minor issues, nothing serious, let alone life-threatening conditions, was found.
Being cautious about his health, Ernest requested to see the hospital’s best doctor. However, the staff informed him that their top physician, Andrew, was not currently available but could be scheduled for an appointment.
Ernest immediately left. He believed that someone of his status should not lower himself to make appointments.
The female bodyguard smiled and said, “Mr. Ramsey, you’re as healthy as a horse. That kid was clearly trying to deceive you.”
The other bodyguard chimed in, “In my opinion, this hospital isn’t that great anyway. They found some minor issues like fatigue and other mild conditions. Mr. Ramsey, isn’t that ridiculous? With your lifestyle and year-round premium healthcare, you couldn’t possibly have any health issues!”
After confirming his good health, Ernest felt incredibly relieved and said, “Well, I suppose they have a point about taking better care of myself. Dad has repeatedly advised me to slow down since I’m not getting any younger. I’ve always ignored it, thinking I was still young.”
The female bodyguard remarked playfully, “Mr. Ramsey, you always say you’ll take it easy, but never do.”
Ernest laughed before his expression turned cold. “Natasha and that pretty boy can forget about getting the Aurora Lotus from me. I’ve made my terms clear—either Natasha agrees to my conditions, or there’s no deal.”
The female bodyguard suggested with a smirk, “Mr. Ramsey, didn’t that kid say you’d fall ill in three days? Let’s wait and see. When nothing happens, we can use that against them both.”
Ernest’s eyes lit up as he grinned. “That’s exactly what we’ll do!”
As evening fell, the lights of Jayrodale began to twinkle. Andrew had planned to return to Moonlit Sanctuary to rest, but Francesca called and invited him to meet at a riverside restaurant.
Since Andrew had not driven his G-Wagon to West End, he took a taxi to the restaurant. When he arrived, he found Francesca wearing a floral dress, lost in thought as she held a cup of coffee.
Andrew sat across from her with a smile and said, “Fran, what’s wrong? You seem preoccupied."
Francesca managed a small smile and asked, “Andrew, you’re here. What would you like to drink?”
Andrew replied with a smile, “I’ll have black coffee with sugar.”
